Lineberger Veterinary Hospital partners with you to keep your furry family happy & healthy. Our Gastonia veterinarians have served the community since 1989. Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you - because they're there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love.
Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet's physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor. My name is Edward M. Lineberger, DVM and I am the Owner and Veterinarian at Lineberger Veterinary Hospital. I graduated from North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Animal Science and then obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 also from NCSU.

For that reason, diagnostic tests may be recommended for both well pets, and for pets who are ill. For ill pets, diagnostic tests can help get to the root of the problem more quickly - and thus, get your pet treated and back to normal health faster and more efficiently. The thing about sick pets is, they often have "non-specific" symptoms.
Often, it can be surprisingly tricky to tell whether or not your furry family member is in pain. That's because dogs and cats tend to not complain like humans do, and instead, try to mask their pain (at least until it gets worse). Adding non-slip surfaces - this is especially helpful for dogs whose legs slide out from under them on wood or tile floors.
If your furry best friend gets a wound - such as a bite, scrape, cut, or burn - you'll want them to be healed as quickly as possible, and comfortable during the healing process. For more routine wounds - like minor cuts and scrapes, broken toenails, or hot spots, for example - you'll still want to seek care as soon as possible.
If you feel your pet may be currently experiencing a medical emergency, please seek veterinary care right away. Or, after hours, call the UrgentVet Belmont at 704-825-8868 or Carolina Veterinary Specialists at 704-504-9608. However, just like for us humans, it's better to be prepared ahead of time, and know exactly where to take your pet should an emergency happen.
Just like for us humans, sometimes it can feel scary when a loved one has to undergo surgery and anesthesia - and it's understandable that you might worry about your furry family member. Here at Lineberger Vetrenary Hospital, we offer a variety of surgical services, ranging from routine spays and neuters, to special procedures such as abdominal surgeries, mass removals, eye and ear surgeries, and many more.

I was taking care of my “grand-furbaby” while her owners were away on vacation and she ran out of her heart prescription. So I called her vet’s office (Lineberger) and left a message about needing a refill and that I am 73 yrs old and live more than an hour away. Meanwhile, I called my own vet and told them about my situation, they said that they would fax or e-mail the prescription to the caretaker's nearest PetSmart if it were their patient, to accommodate the needs of the caretaker. So I called Lineberger’s office back and told them what my vet’s (Sun Valley) would do. The girl checked

Last year I brought trouble for the first time and he was really sick. I wasn’t allowed in because of covid but everyone was so great I coming out to check on me and give me updates and took such good care of… trouble. So of course I brought him back when time for check up and shots and to get looked at for his itching. Everyone is very nice patient and helpful. I will be planning on bringing my other two fur babies for their checkup and shots soon.

Friendly staff, especially the young lady who worked on Saturday morning, 10/16/21 at 10am. She came out to get Cooper, who is not the friendliest of dogs, and kindly handled him after we finally coaxed him out of the car. I called back after driving away to get her name, but no one answered, probably because all were busy, or short-staffed. Many thanks to all your workers, who have all been nice to us.

I have been a patron at Linebergers for over 15 years and have always been impressed by their compassion, care, and dedication to my pets. These past few months, I have really seen how truly amazing the staff at Lineberger's is. My oldest fur baby, Adler, recently had an accident that required her to go visit Linebergers a few times a week. Adler is old and blind and she, unfortunately, had an accident in which all four of her paw pads got severely burned. I was so worried about Adler and immediately took her to Lineberger's. I knew that she was in a lot of pain and was extremely concerned that

I wish I could give 0 stars! The entire experience was very un professional and they clearly didn't care about my dog. They didn't know how to hold him and almost dropped him. The vet Dr. Lineberger kept calling my dog the wrong gender and refused to do the test that he recommended the icing on top of the worst vet visit is when they gave us his anti biotics they told us to give him 3 times as much as the bottle was labeled. When we asked they just laughed and said yeah the bottle is right. When I found a new vet they didn't want to send his file over to them till I showed up and pushed there hand

My two fur babies have seen three out of the four current veterinarians, and they have all been spectacular. They are so comfortable coming here. One of my babies does not do well at the vet and the staff is so accommodating and caring when it comes to making her comfortable. They are very professional, but very personable too. Exceptional care, knowledgeable staff, and very reasonable pricing.

These caring folks have seen us through our whole herd that started out at nine kitties. Sadly, our last boy developed lymphoma and we were given good information, treatment options and a specialized referral. So, our dear UniCat crossed the rainbow bridge in our arms with their gentle attentive help.

Lucy absolutely LOVED her hair bows and necklace to show off her summer haircut! Ashley always does such a wonderful job grooming Lucy and takes such great care of her. I’ve never had a dog that got excited… pulling into the vet until now. From their veterinary care to their boarding and grooming services, Lineberger Veterinary Hospital, PC is the best and ONLY place for my girl Lucy. She’s always treated like one of their own and I know she is always in safe, loving hands.
