How to Save Money at Gosney Gary L DVM

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Annette “Puribella” Q

Doctor Gosney was great in examining my dogs and discovered she had a bad murmur. I was not aware. He is experienced and has love on what he does. Yes you have to wait but it worth the wait. He does his best. The front desk are extremely helpful.

He is the best veterinarian in the area. We have been to all around and were talking with my mother about one we found through a Google search. She stated that this is who she and my stepfather had always used. I'm so glad we found him. He knows what he is doing. We have found our place from here out with our pet care.

We used to use another vet for many years. For a couple reasons we decided to switch. After trying yet another vet and not being completely satisfied and also feeling they were very overpriced we came to Dr.Gosney through the suggestion of our neighbors. Now this is the only clinic we will go to! The doctors (Dr.Gosney and Dr.Cochran) are amazing as well as all the other staff. Prices are MORE than reasonable and they won’t take your money doing things that aren’t completely necessary which is huge to me! We use them for all our dogs.

We love Temple Vet Hospital. We brought Lola in for a cough a few days ago and Dr. Cochran gave her a thorough exam. I appreciate how patient he is with our many questions!

We started going to Dr. Gosney after our pets were misdiagnosed elsewhere. Dr. Gosney is quite frankly the best veterinarian we have encountered. He is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and has been a pleasure to see. I particularly like how his office does not take appointments, except for surgeries, and such, so when one of my animals is sick, I know I can just show up that day and my pet will be seen. I don’t have to wait several days for an appointment when my pet is suffering. This is the best veterinary office and best veterinarian I have dealt with in my life.
