How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Gemcore Veterinary Services
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 cannot thank Dr. Gonzalez and her staff enough for all they have done for me and my baby. I began seeing her as my Lulu got older and needed specific care that Dr Gonzalez was able to provide her with. We did everything we could to keep Lu healthy and comfortable through her last months. Once things became uncomfortable for Lu I knew I had to do what was best for her. Dr Gonzalez pointed out the facts of our situation and allowed me to come to the decision on my own without pushing me in any direction. When the time came to put Lu down, Dr Gonzalez held my hand through a very difficult process. She is so kind, genuine, caring and knowledgeable. What was one of the hardest times of my life was made easier by her. She talked me through the whole process and let me know exactly what was going to happen. She made sure Lu was comfortable through the whole process. I knew how much she cared for my Lu and that really warmed my heart and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby's health in her hands. She even brought me flowers on the day of. She answered any and all of my questions throughout (and I asked many and reached out to her countless times and she answered every time with love and care). I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gonzalez. I have just rescued a new pup and already have our first visit scheduled to see her. I will forever bring my dogs to her as long as she is around. I trust her more than an other vet I have seen throughout Lu's 18 years of life.

having to put down a beloved pet is never an easy thing to do. we felt like a house call would be the best option for our cat so she would not be scared. Dr. Leticia Gonzalez arrived and explained in detail what would be happening but with such caring bedside manner. she was so kind and sympathetic to us and the difficult decision we had to make. our little lucy transitioned over in her favorite spot surrounded by love and a familiar place. i could not thank Dr. Leticia Gonzalez enough as she would let us make the decisions on when to administer the multiple steps of medicine as well as letting us have a private moment to grieve. she is very professional and yet very kind, i could not recommend this service enough if you are in a situation where you may have to do what's best for your pet.

We had the best and most kind experience with Gemcore Vet Services. At a time when you have to make a hard decision, they were there for us. Joselyn was the person I spoke to and she helped us with all the information we needed. Unfortunately my son’s pup passed before the appointment with Dr. Gonzalez, but Joselyn again let me know that the doctor would still come and take care of his aftercare. Thank you to Gemcare for having great people to help when it’s needed the most.

Dr. Gonzalez and her staff made the end of life process a gentle experience. We had to have our Labrador put down because of bone cancer and we were very concerned how our other "senior" dog would react. Dr. Gonzalez let our other dog be a part of this and she knew in advance exactly how our other dog would react. Our other dog understood and settled and in my opinion was able to grieve and understand. Thank you Dr. for making an experience no one wants to have into a gentle, peaceful ending.
