By far the hardest thing I have ever done but Dr. Gonzalez talked us through the whole process and made sure we were comfortable. She brought us flowers which we dried and framed, thank you so much for making this experience as easy as possible.

Dr Leticia Gonzalez is a gem who deserves all the praise in the world. She not only works around the clock, but she is extremely communicative by phone and accommodating to all kinds of last minute changes. When we weren’t ready to say goodbye to our pup, we were able to reschedule our appt via the website easily. Then when our pup took a turn for the worse and I frantically texted Dr Gonzalez, she so graciously kept us posted about any last minute cancellations. She didn’t give us any grief for this, even though it was our fault for changing our original appointment. I was in constant communication with her from around 9pm - 10am, during the last hours of my sweet pup’s life. I don’t know what we would have done without Gemcore. They go above and beyond to make sure your pet transitions as peacefully and painlessly as possible. Dr Gonzalez came all the way from the SFV to Inglewood to accommodate us. I can never thank her enough. I highly recommend this company, Dr Gonzalez, and at-home euthanasia versus in-hospital for your pets if you can. Our girl was comfortable the entire time,surrounded by her toys, familiar smells and her loving parents. Can’t say enough good things about Gemcore and their staff. Thank you.

We had the need for services from Gemcore Veterinary Services to help us say goodbye to our beloved pet. Dr. Gonzalez was kind, compassionate, caring, patient, and professional. She explained every step of the process and helped us make the transition for our Pet to be an intimate and loving experience. For all involved. She allowed our other pets to be present and roam freely to say goodbye, too. Our family cannot say enough how much we appreciated Dr. Gonzalez helping us through this time. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

When it was time to let go of my precious little love bug I’ve loved for 12 years…… The experience the Gemcore Vets provided my family…..it was top notch. I couldn’t have imagined a better passing for our beloved family member. They were so incredibly gentle and talked me through every single step that they made. It was absolutely precious and loving the whole time. We were given a few minutes of privacy to say our final “til we see each other again” time. They even showed up with a bouquet of flowers for our family.

The worst thing I have ever done is having to put down my dog. We had a very elderly saint. They came to the house and were wonderful. Extremely respectfully. They did a wonderful job and I highly recommend them. They put us at ease with the whole process Thank you Steve

Our dear poodle had come to end of life due to cancer. Dr. Gonzalez was so caring and so professional. It was such a comfort and service, and the arrangements with her office was simple and fair. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

It was a terribly sad day for us. Dr. Leticia Gonzalez was the ultimate professional, very caring and gentle. We highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez and Gemcore Veterinary Services if you need to deal with your pet at home.

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.

It seems all the five stars went to Vet Gonzales's head. From the moment we spoke she seemed real keen on getting as much money out of me as possible. First she said it would be $550 but before the sentence was over she was talking about charging $800. There was no interest in showing up asap to save hours of suffering my dog and I had to endure. Sometimes success and praise goes to people's head and they get focused on getting rich not on doing an ethical job well. She can do her sweet voice but boy does that change if her monetary gain is in question.She came too late to save my darling dog even a minute of horrible pain. During the last hour she was suffocating. Gonzales kept telling me she was not far. It was a horror show to witness an animal go in such pain for hours. She has become desensitized to suffering and in her mind she should get paid whether she helps or not. She had to audacity to come in like a dept collector, stone faced, ordering me around and hagling like a flee market merchant. Her business is about saving animals from a painful death. Then show up in time and do it. Don't pressure a client that has just seen her pet work so hard at dying into paying you. it was so ugly. What a corrupt profession this too has become.

When our precious little 22 year old cat, Sunshine, let us know she was ready to cross over the Rainbow Bridge, we were fortunate to find Gemcore and Dr. Leticia Gonzalez on Yelp. Sunshine's final decline came quickly on a Sunday night, and Luis was very kind and helpful on the phone. When he and Dr. Gonzalez arrived at 9pm after a long drive, I immediately knew an Angel had come to help us all through this painful time, and so did Sunshine. She had been sitting quietly in her bed in a small hallway all night, visited by family members and friends there to say goodbye. After they left and Dr. Gonzalez arrived, Sunshine calmly walked into the bedroom and up to the Vet as if to say "I'm ready." I had originally thought that my six year old daughter and I would leave the room, but the doctor's caring and reassuring voice gave us the courage to be there with our sweet kitty, and I'm so glad we did. Dr. Gonzalez spoke lovingly to Sunshine, and painlessly administered the medications. Sunshine's totally peaceful passing was almost immediate, as the doctor gently adjusted her into a comfortable position in her favorite cat bed, and softly told us that her little heart had stopped. While we are deeply heartbroken over the loss of our cherished furry member of the family, my daughter and I are so grateful that Sunshine was able to transition at home with the people who loved her, and with the assistance of an incredibly warm and compassionate caregiver. Dr. Gonzalez is truly a Godsend.

We had an experience with Dr. Leticia Gonzalez. She was very friendly and forthcoming. We unfortunately had to put down our cat, but she made sure he was as comfortable as possible. We had previously dealt with a hospital which had refused to answer questions and pushed for expensive painful procedures. Procedures to diagnose a condition Dr. Gonzalez was able to diagnose with a simple physical.

Our beautiful Lima was sent home on hospice and I tried for two days to find someone to come to the house to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge. Late at night I received a call from Dr. Gonzalez of Gemcore, as I had left a message and her husband answered and said he would reach her and call me back in 5 minutes. He was extremely passionate and caring and said she would be at my house in 45 minutes. She and her husband appeared at my door and she brought beautiful stargazer flowers not knowing those were the flowers we had for my husband's funeral. It was such a spiritual moment. That blew me away. The whole family was gathered around my bed with our beautiful Lima Greyhound in the middle of the bed as we all put our hands on her and loved her and told her go to the light, we will see you again. Dr Gonzalez was amazing! She explained everything that was going to happen with love and compassion, educated the whole family step-by-step and after it was done she and her husband walked out shortly to give us a moment with our beloved Lima. When she came back in, she and her husband gave us more instructions as they would take her and hold her until the cremation people came to have her cremated and then send me the ashes. It was so smooth and reasonably priced that I felt we were all totally blessed with Dr Gonzalez.????????????

My husband and I are so grateful for Dr. Gonzalez and Gemcore. They were recommended by a colleague and fortunately I had their information. My older dog suddenly became very sick late at night. I called and Dr. Gonzalez answered right away new exactly what was happening and came to our house right away. From the moment she and her husband walked through the door they were like angels. She knew he needed to be put to sleep right away but was also very sensitive to our shock and sorrow. Gus, our beloved dog was so loved and they were so loving and gentle and respectful. I have already spread the word and would not hesitate to recommend them. We faced what we were not prepared for and Dr. Gonzalez and her husband made an impossible experience not only doable, but beautiful. So much gratitude for these wonderful people. Thank you!

From start to finish everything was done with love and compassion. They arrived with flowers, a beautiful blanket, and a little stretcher. They spoke gently to our fur babies and us explaining what was going to happen they offered us counseling. They have us time to be with Paws alone after he was gone before they gently carried him away. Two days later his ashes were home in a beautiful cedar box. This was the hardest thing to do and it helped to have such a compassionate company to work with. Thank you Dr. Leticia Gonzalez at Gemcore Veterinary Services

Dr. Gonzalez from Gemcore Veterinary Services made a really sad day so much easier with her caring and gentle approach. She made a house call to euthanize my beloved dog. I truly appreciate how she helped me during his passing and made it a comfortable experience for him. Thank you so much, Dr.Gonzalez.
