Everything about this place is truly amazing. We had to bring in our two kittens after they got into some lilies, and from the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and compassionate. They walked us through everything and made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. One of our boys had to stay for three nights, and the team made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We can’t say enough good things about the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff. Thanks to them, both of our boys are back home happy and most importantly healthy. You guys rock.

The facility is clean & well equipped. The care is excellent. The staff are above & beyond. They were so gentle & compassionate with my reactive dog. They made what could have been a very traumatic experience as easy & low-stress as possible—honestly for me as well as for my pup. Huge shout-out to Laura Lee & Dr. Bogle for being exceptional humans delivering exceptional care. Thank you for taking care of my baby!

Veterinary Emergency Group was a very nice place to take my sick puppy Diamond!” All the staff were quick to respond very friendly, helpful and patient!” I feel my puppy received very good care there & is working herself back to herself. It can be a lil pricey if you don’t have insurance but the care was excellent. Thank everyone so much for the care and understanding you gave Diamond & I, she is feeling better!”
