Dear Pet Parents,

You may notice us putting a shiny new sign up on Blythewood Road. It features our brand new name and logo! After thirty years as Companion Animal Clinic, we are happy to announce that we are now DOKO Animal Hospital. Since Dr. Gallery purchased the practice over four years ago, it has grown from a 1 doctor clinic with 6 employees to a 4 doctor hospital with 19 employees. The new name and new logo represent a more modern look that embodies how our practice has grown into a more modern hospital. Don't worry, we still have the same great staff and offer the same great services as before.

With this change we will be making some slight adjustments to our hours: we will be opening a little earlier (8:00am) and also closing a little earlier (5:30pm). We will also have more limited hours on the weekend. These changes will go into effect starting in January 2023.

We are very excited about our new look, and would love to share it with everyone in the community. We will be hosting an open house in January
with the Blythewood Chamber of Commerce (exact date and time will be sent out in a follow up newsletter) . Our doctors will be available to meet and greet with everyone and we will be giving tours of the hospital. We will also have drinks and gifts to give away! We look forward to meeting everyone!

Dr. Gallery and staff have loved getting to know all the pet parents in Blythewood and the surrounding area over the last 7 years. We look
forward to providing you with the best veterinary, grooming, and boarding services available in the years to come.

We look forward to serving you and your pets!

  • "Dr. Gallery, Dr. McKinnon and staff provided wonderful care and compassion to Bubba (my cat) So thankful for their knowledge and kindness!"
    anonymous
  • "The veterinarian actually showed love and compassion with my pup. He has a true love for animals. Which is rare to see. Being an animal rescue I have been to many vets that hurry you through and do not show love for animals. Doctors, take time to go the extra mile to research problems with our Dogs. Explain treatment required, at a reasonable cost. Staff members, are polite and knowledgeable."
