Dr. Charles Gauger opened the Norway Veterinary Hospital in 1964 as a full service hospital, caring for farm animals, horses and pets. His goal was to provide a high standard of veterinary care and personalized service to the community of Southwestern Maine. As the practice thrived, it outgrew the original Crescent Street facility. Ground was broken for a more contemporary facility at our current location on Main Street in the early 1970's. We have a number of resources for you to learn about how to take better care of your pets. The best veterinary care for animals is ongoing nutrition and problem prevention. At Norway Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.
