About Us

Jim and Gail met in1971 as pre-veterinary students at Mississippi State University. They were married in 1973. After completing their pre-vet studies they entered Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine together in 1974. Upon graduation in 1978 they returned to Mississippi and established Crossgates Veterinary Clinic. The practice has seen many changes over the past 33 years. Initially, the Anderson's had a general practice with patient species ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, horses, and cattle. As time has gone by and the location of the practice has changed from rural to urban they are now exclusively a small animal practice.
