We cannot thank Victor enough. We had a very tragic experience with our fur baby and had never been to Gateway but Victor treated us like family. We live in PA but will definitely take both our dogs here going forward.

Ever interaction with the staff and Vets have been so welcoming and so responsive to the need of our dog and setting our minds at ease. After a visit they phoned to check up on our dog which is going the extra mile. I would completely recommend this Veterinarian clinic.

Thank god for Victor getting up at Midnight to meet us at the clinic for an allergic reaction. Our dog was experiencing severe swelling in his face. Being north of Tisdale we called every after hours vet in a 50km radius and NOBODY PICKED UP THE PHONE. Except victor. He was very professional and caring spent the whole time focusing on Simon and taking extra care not to send us away to soon. I can truly recommend this place.

I dont know if it could be possible to make our experience at Gateway any better. Over the top with super friendly, professional service. From answering the call initially, to squeezing us in quickly, prompt intake upon arrival, truly professional examination by both Victor and Tim with a wealth of information and explanation, courteous on checking out, follow up text to check on well-being of Heidi. Wow! It doesnt get any better than that for service! I will certainly recommend Gateway Veterinary to everyone. Cudos to the entire staff, you are much appreciated.

Dr. Victor and his staff have always been very helpful and go above and beyond to make sure the needs of our pets and livestock are met. We recently had to put our long time farm dog and family pet to rest and we were so appreciative of the extra care and kindness that was shown to us. Dr. Victor came out and explained the procedure and took time outside of his office hours to allow us to be home and with our girl as we said goodbye. Thank you

Camping in the Waskesiu area on the weekend when our dog got very sick after eating something he shouldn't have. Gateway was the only vet open within 150 miles on Saturday morning. The staff said to bring him right in, no appointment was necessary. We got our dog in right away and he received excellent treatment from the doctor and staff. Very professional service at a reasonable price. If we lived in the Melfort area this would be the vet we would use. I highly recommend this place.
