I don't honestly have enough good things to say. If you live in Northwest Indiana, this is the vet I would ever go to.

Thank you to Dr. Barringer and staff for the pleasant visit today! We have previously taken our pup to a different animal hospital and felt we were not getting the proper attention we were looking for. As soon as I walked in, I instantly felt relieved by not only the friendliness, but also the cleanliness of Gast. Dr. Barringer took the time to listen and go down our list of concerns and address them one by one; not in a hurry to leave the room. That alone means everything to us, Oliver is our world! Our experience today was flawless and you have earned a new loyal client, thank you!

We recently had to take my dog "Coco" to Gast for an emergency. He was attacked by a coyote we believe. When we arrived the girl at the front desk, was very comforting and after observing her with other animals, we knew we were in the right place. We then were introduced to Dr. Barringer. She was very calm listening to all my concerns and assured me they were going to help my Coco but also not just start spending money. After examining him, she came to us and stated we needed x-rays. They stitched up what needed to be and realized his hip was dislocated. She attempted to put in back in place but it popped right out. She gave us an excellent recommendation of an Orthopedic Dr. and even called and spoke with Dr herself. She explained about money and really had my Coco and our best interest. I've taken my dog to his normal vet to have shots and so forth and he's always very nervous when we go. Here he was as cool as could be. The whole staff was incredibly helpful, upfront and very knowledgeable. Although it's a business, you can tell these people love animals and would never do anything unnecessary just for the money. I 100% would refer anyone there. Great people and I'm glad to say we took Coco to the Orthopedic Dr and the surgery was a success. This very tramatic experience led us to finding a great Vet that Coco will go from now on. Thank you Gast Animal Hospital!

There are many reasons why I go to Dr. Gast and her team, right when you walk in the door you feel welcomed. I have had a few bad experiences locally in Valparaiso and this is the first place I feel my animals are truly and genuinely cared for. I have had some scary calls with them and each time I'm confident in the care and treatment they receive. I could never express my gratitude enough.

I have been taking my two Havanese to Gast Animal Hospital for 6 years now and have no complaints. Both doctors I have seen are extremely thorough and very compassionate. Dr Gast went above and beyond when my dog became very ill while I was out of the country and my dog was left with my sister. Dr Gast transferred my dog from the emergency clinic in Westville and cared for and treated my dog until I returned. My dog had a deformed liver and Dr Gast literally saved her life. When I had to put her to sleep a year later, Dr Gast was so very compassionate and helped me thru a difficult time.

I went to this place since I moved to Valpo and adopted my dogs. I forgot my wallet the last time I was there. I later sent a check (which I verified did go out) and that was the last time I heard of it. This was probably over 6 months ago.
I got a call today from Dr. Gast making all kinds of threats, talking about collections, and just making accusations to start off without even asking what was going on. Her tone was condescending and put upon to say the least. She was very rude.
I had switched vets a few months ago because every time I go there I am stuck with a different person or doctor and the people helping out seem like they are out of high school and don't know much. So much so that I now drive over 45 minutes to the vet that my dogs went to as a kid. Great place.
I do not recommend Gast Animal Hospital. A simple phone call letting me know that a check had not been received would have gotten the same result; a new check sent out. Her rudeness and assumptions about one of her customers was shocking to say the least.

Gast Animal Hospital is an hour away from our home, but worth the drive! Our Doberman is a challenging case. However, Dr. B doesnt give up. She spent a lot of time consulting colleagues, providing options for treatment and tests, while considering our budget. Before she ran tests, she took the time to explain what she knew, what she suspected, what she wanted to investigate and was honest when she simply didnt know the answer. We appreciate that we were kept informed and nothing was done without our approval first. No doubt that our pet received the same quality and thoroughness that she would have provided to her own!

Our puppy has a severe large breed dog disease (HOD) that, if left untreated or misdiagnosed, ends in either death or severe joint issues and dwarfism. Dr. Gast misdiagnosed our dog twice, the first time filling him full of fluids, cleaning his ears & sending us home. The second visit included much of the same with some blood work and a worthless (unreadable) x-ray. On the third visit, even with the blood work results back and after we had told her what we thought was wrong (and were correct) Dr. Gast still was not prescribing the correct treatment which was high doses of a steroid. She had no idea what to do and wouldn't listen to us. Fortunately, we took our dying dog to McAfee who listened, diagnosed and treated him correctly. He's a happy, healthy 6 months old now. And even though Dr. Gast did nothing to help (that's putting it nicely) she still charged us more then McAfee EVEN AFTER giving us some of the $$$ back. And we've heard other, similar stories. Shorewood residents (and anyone else) do not use Gast Animal Hospital.
