Our History

Gem Veterinary Clinic has been providing veterinary care to the Gooding area since the 1960s. The clinic has remained in its original location, undergoing several big renovations through the decades. Many young Gooding-ites grew up in this veterinary clinic experiencing firsthand the compassion and hard work involved in caring for Gooding’s pets and herds. The rich history and community involvement of this clinic will be proudly continued by its newest veterinarian, Dr. Amber Parish. Dr. Parish bought Gem Veterinary Clinic from Dr. Jack Amen in March 2018. She re-branded the practice as Gooding Veterinary Clinic.

At Gooding Veterinary Clinic, our people and culture are the heart of our practice. We understand that exceptional care for pets and their families begins with a team that is compassionate, skilled, and dedicated to our core values.

Calamity Jane

Calamity Jane was brought into the clinic at six weeks old, she was found at the park in town and was very sick. She was tough and recovered quickly and turned out to be a bit feisty. Calamity has been the only cat able to hold her own against our Indy. We adore the spunk she brings to the clinic!
