About Buffalo Gap Road Animal Clinic

Dr. Mark Hitchcock had a small, full-service pet hospital in mind when he began Buffalo Gap Road Animal Clinic. The pet hospital, veterinary clinic, and exotic animal vet has now served many pets and their owners throughout the Abilene, TX area. A graduate of Texas A&M University, Dr. Hitchcock is a certified practitioner with more than 30 years of experience under his belt. He loves taking care of pets and building lifelong relationships with their owners.


Our staff offers excellent care and professional advice you can count on for your pets. Our goal is to keep pets and their owners together for as long as possible, and we will do everything in our power to make that happen. What we do goes beyond simply taking care of sick pets. Rather, we want to educate owners and help them do everything they can to keep their pets happy and healthy for as long as possible. Our animal hospital is proud to educate owners in Abilene, TX with information on the Hill's Prescription Diet to ensure their pet lives a healthy and active life!


A wide range of diagnostic procedures are available at Buffalo Gap Road Animal Clinic. The animal hospital is open from Monday through Saturday, but Dr. Hitchcock is always willing to make emergency house calls when needed.
