How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Gateway Veterinary Centre

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

I’ve brought 4 cats here so far and have had wonderful experiences with them all. They have all seen Dr Dhillon and he was very kind and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed or like I had to stop asking questions until I understood what was happening. He was very knowledgeable and able to speak to a variety of potential issues. I brought my calico Lucy in as she had a lesion on her side and Dr Dhillon took a sample from it and looked at it under a microscope during that appointment and followed up within a few minutes with his observations and we discussed potential underlying causes given her history. He’s done a dental surgery on my then 7 year old cat (tabby and white) and provided clear pre-surgery instructions and follow up after. And lastly I brought my two boys in for dental consults and he took a lot of time to answer my questions during a free visit (my orange cat started grinding his teeth recently and I wanted to discuss if he would need a dental). Overall, I really enjoy going to this clinic and will continue to go there and have already recommended it to my friends and family.

I don’t do a lot of online reviews but am compelled to post 5 stars. Our two dogs have been seeing Dr Dhillon for a few years now and we are so happy with his expertise and care for our dogs. We fully trust and respect his knowledge and experience. The rest of the staff at Gateway Vet Centre are all fantastic as well. I’m SO happy we found him!!

We had a great experience (as good as you can when your good boy/girl isn't feeling well) with Dr. Singh and the entire team at Gateway Veterinary Centre. We took our dog to them on a Sunday when he was unwell. An initial diagnosis wasn't very obvious, which led to multiple visits throughout the week for various test and diagnostics. Dr. Singh was very thorough in his treatment of our doggo and after 3/4 days of uncertainty, we are on the other side and our good boy is doing so much better. Everyone we encountered at Gateway was incredibly friendly and accommodating with last minute bookings and amazing communication. One area we were particularly impressed with, was how much Dr. Singh and his team followed up through phone calls and text messages to check in and provide updates. Thank you for all of your help with our pet this week! It was an incredibly difficult week for us with all of the uncertainty and we are so happy and relieved that we are on the other side!

We love it here! Dr Dhillon and his staff have been nothing but wonderful and accommodating! One Sunday he stayed late to look at our cat! He also remembers things and is so compassionate about animals and us owners. He’s wonderful and I won’t go anywhere else. Also, very affordable prices which really help in today’s economy. Thank you!
