Northway Animal Hospital
Northway Animal Hospital was opened in 1967 by Dr. Charles Horton on Cook Avenue across from "The Mall". After working for Dr. Horton in high school, graduating veterinary school and practicing in Huntsville for 6 years, Dr. Rip Patton took over Northway in 1994 and since then has enjoyed caring for family pets in the area.

Since 1989 Northway has been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association, an honor held by only 15% of veterinary hospitals in the country. Northway Animal Hospital is pleased is to provide a library of professionally written articles updated by practice experts and reviewed by practitioners to bring you the most up-to-date pet health information.

Dr. Patton is the best vet in Huntsville, hands down. His staff is so friendly, gracious, and loving to your pet, and Dr. Patton explains things in a clear way that makes me feel confident we are doing the best thing for my fur baby.
