Locally-Owned Veterinary Clinic
Serving the Greater Abilene, TX Area

Buffalo Gap Road Animal Clinic is a trusted veterinary clinic welcoming pet owners and their furry friends across the greater Abilene, TX area. Our patients don’t just stop at cats and dogs. As an experienced and professional exotic animal vet, we are able to care for small exotic pets such as birds, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, and squirrels.

Dr. Mark Hitchcock provides expert-level care to all pets and their owners. He believes in patient education and cultivating a strong lifelong relationship with all his patients. Both you and your pets will always be welcomed with open arms here. At our animal hospital, we understand that pets are members of the family. As such, we will care for your pet as if it were our very own. Your pet will slowly become used to being cared for by the same people, which helps to build continuity of care.

To further foster a sense of care and committment to your pet, our animal doctor is standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help patients in the event an emergency transpires. If an emergency situation occurs after office hours, he can be reached via pager. Time is of the essence in these cases, especially with older pets, as they are more prone to things such as arthritis, heart disease, and dental issues.

As with us humans, early detection is key to preventing disease in your pets. Be sure to have younger pets examined annually, and older pets (7 years and up) twice a year. On top of preventive veterinary services, our pet hospital is well equipped to perform various pet surgery options, including spaying and neutering, adminstering pet vaccinations, dental care, and more.
