I don’t even know where to start…the staff, Samantha, Sam, Christina and Dr.Donohue, the absolute best…from the minute we walked in we were seen immediately and taken care of. The place is immaculate, you could live there! They are so compassionate, and patient, they took their time explaining everything to us…I HIGHLY recommend going here if you have an emergency, and very affordable too..

THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE!!! Let me start by saying from the time we got out of our vehicle struggling to carry a 58 pound Belgium Malinois with a severe tear to her top paw we were greeted with help by staff from the front desk opening the door for us. At first I thought we would be placed in a room but instead we were taken to a sitting area with its own exam table in an open floor concept. During my short wait to see Dr. Baine I took notice of how clean the staff kept the facility and how well everybody works together. Before seeing Dr. Baine, a staff member from the front desk, approached me asking if I would like a beverage or something to eat while I wait. She offered a variety of chips/crackers along with either water or Espresso. I only declined it because I was so worried about my dog at first, but gave in later and I must say the espresso is very good. I was then approached by nurse Shelby and Despite nurse Shelby having a knee injury, she did not hesitate for one moment to do her job in a fashionable way, including getting on the ground to evaluate my dogs injury. Shortly after nurse Shelby evaluated my dog, I met Doctor Baine and she informed me that there was going to be a shift change however she will be taking care of my dog. She was very informative and let me know what her plans were for my dog. I was then approached by a nurse named Jasmine and I was notified that my dog would be sedated before her procedure. Nurse Jasmine is the sweetest girl and very good at keeping my dog calm while nurse Shelby administered an IV and drew blood. Once my dog was sedated, Dr. Baine followed through with her plans and completed my dogs procedure by stitching up her injury. She did inform me that my dog will have a recovery period before leaving the facility. Everything went smoother than I expected, and I will always take all of my pets here at time of need. 🫶❤️ Thank you all!!!

I am so incredibly grateful to the care team here for saving my 5 year old cat’s life by performing an emergency laparotomy on him after he ingested a linear foreign body. The staff is very competent, communicative, and personable. Special thank you to the surgeon, Dr. Laura Hauser. She is absolutely amazing!!! Attached photo is Pilgrim in his kennel at VEG a couple hours after waking up from anesthesia :-)

We had to come in the middle of the night for my dog’s care. We were instantly greeted by some nice vet technicians, the lady with the southern accent that just moved here in January (sorry I forgot her name!) was assisting us the whole time. She was SO sweet and kind, and definitely made the experience better as sometimes you don’t usually connect with the workers during a visit at all. She seemed like someone I would totally be friends with outside of this emergency visit. We also thought our doctor (Dr. Gunn) was very knowledgeable and always answered any questions I had. The thing that we really appreciate the most is that we were able to stay with our dog the whole time and watch what happened. With other clinics, our dog is taken away from us and we don’t have any updates or anything for hours and we can’t see her as well. This open concept makes us feel more comfortable as pet owners as we want to know the status of our dog! If we need to come back in the future we will definitely go back even though we live in Milwaukie, and recommend this hospital to our friends/family. We were discharged with lots of thorough instructions and we just felt really cared for because our dog means everything to us!

As a veterinary technician for general practice, I was absolutely blown away by the kindness, caring, comforting staff from the second I walked in and was greeted by Gabbie who was absolutely an angel to me my entire visit. I had to rush my 14 year-old diabetic senior dog over there late at night because he declined very quickly and was not well. I did end up doing tests and ultimately euthanized him. I was devastated and heartbroken. But having caring souls around you at a time like that, REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE AND I CANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!! During my stay , everyone was hands on with not only Dennis, but ME. They were prompt , hands on, transparent , efficient, professional but also personable people. All of you. I especially want to acknowledge the names that I remember who worked with me and Dennis that night- Gabbie❤️Dr Tiffani ❤️Maddie ❤️Sam ❤️Jess ❤️Floyd. You all made a huge difference and continue to do so whether you are a CSR, technician , veterinarian - you all matter. Thank you from the botttom of my heart

I recently moved to Texas and when my dog, Lucy was experiencing difficulty breathing, I had to find an emergency vet quickly. VEG ER had excellent reviews and is close to home so I chose them. I couldn't be happier with my choice. As soon as I walked in, someone greeted us and when they saw she was having trouble breathing, they immediately took action. The entire staff and Dr. Koons were wonderful. They made sure both of us were comfortable and kept me informed about her treatment. Being able to stay with Lucy the entire time made her calmer in a strange environment. I have been to many emergency vets with my dogs over the years but this one is, by far, the best I've ever been to. There were a few other families with sick pets there and each one was treated with care and respect. If you have an emergency with your pet, you could not find a better hospital than VEG ER.

I want to thank the staff working overnight last night. We brought my Diesel baby in because he was really struggling. Even though it was 3 am the staff was quick and very compassionate for our situation, all hands were on deck. I’d like to thank Dr. Rocha for explaining things in a good manner and being very patient with my family during this time. Also of course for taking care of Diesel and not sugar coating anything no matter how hard it was to hear. She was very caring. It was a very hard time for us as we had to put my almost 13 year old baby down, but i’m glad it was in the hands of your animal hospital. Thank you for caring for my Diesel when he needed it most. May he rest in paradise🤍

We were sent to VEG from urgent care for continued overnight care and treatment. My kitty suffered from an acute kidney event and recovered quickly and fully at VEG. I like that the triage area is in the middle of the room when you enter and the kennels are open to the room. Your animal is treated and cared for right in front of you. You can stay with your pet as long and often as you care to. You speak directly with a vet when you call with questions. All the staff are very kind and loving toward the animals. You can tell they definitely care about your babies. My experience was great. The only downside is this level of care comes with a great expense, but they will tell you up front what the cost will be.

Paddington says to thank everyone who pet him and gave him all the attention he demanded. The staff are the reason why Paddington does not associate VEG on Rampart as a negative experience. Thank you to everyone’s help and all the love given to him on our *latest* visit 😭. Thankfully nothing serious this time. Realizing right now that I don’t recall my nurses/techs names’, I am so sorry. I think I was just happy that Paddy was happy and completely forgot to get names. The two ladies kept us updated and offered help throughout our entire stay. They were also so chill with our strange encounter; someone I knew walked in with their own pet concerns. They helped ease those parents immediately. Afterwards our areas merged (while still separate) and the nurse/tech were so good about keeping us updated but keeping patient info confidential. I was able to witness them, and DVM Jones, treat the pet and parents with compassion, offering comfort and understanding throughout, offering options for payments without judgement to the parent’s ability to pay. Unfortunately, the fur babe’s diagnosis was too severe and treatment and recovery would be difficult, so the difficult decision was made for comfort. I hate it came to the conclusion it came to. I could tell the staff were affected, and yet they did the switch up everyone in the medical does where they put their emotions aside and made sure that each fur babe and parent they encountered got the level of care they deserved. The staff even helped me when we were discharged and had my dog and took the other family’s *literal* baby so they could say their goodbyes. We were no longer a patient but they still checked on us and gave Paddington tons of love. The staff at VEG on Rampart are something special, because while it was all tough for the other family, in the end they managed to have the other parent’s laughing. *Thankful for anyone who remembered Paddy from previous visits. You fill his bucket and boost his ego, and this point his name should be Diva Paddington.*

I worked with Danya, Lauren, Steph, Krista, and Holly and felt extremely comfortable and confident that my dog was in good hands. My dog was acted on quickly and efficiently. Everything was explained thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. If I had questions, they were answered in depth. I went in stressed, and left calm and comfortable. The invoice i received was quite reasonable. I will be telling friends, family, and coworkers about my great experience. VEG far exceeded my expectations. I thank the company and team for all the help we received!!

My experience taking my 1 year old toy poodle Luxe was amazing. It was everything I expected and more. As soon as I stepped foot in the door I was met by one of the staff members and Dr. Pauline Bravo was right there to attend to my Luxe who was not feeling well. Veronica and the rest of the staff were very helpful, friendly, devoted and professional. I would recommend the VEG Emergency Hospital to everyone that needs help with their fur baby/babies. VEG staffs are truly team players. Thank you for taking care of my Luxe. Regards! Rossalyn🩷

Highly recommended! Excellent service and top-notch professionals I want to express my sincere gratitude and highly recommend VEG ER for the incredible care they provided. What stands out the most about this place is: Accurate and professional diagnosis: The medical management was precise, thorough, and impeccable. Fast, specialized exams: The entire testing process was handled with impressive speed, which is vital in an emergency. Fair pricing: They offer top-tier medical attention at completely reasonable and transparent rates. They have an excellent team. A special thank you to Dr. Tool, Nurse Erika, and all the staff—especially Jorgie and Janely—for their dedication, warmth, and outstanding professionalism. I highly recommend this place and their entire team of professionals. Thank you for everything!

My dog Ice was taken to the vet by me where I live in CT where an xray showed a possible mass that needed to be scanned via ultrasound. Ultrasound, technicians were not available in my area and so I drove to my home town of Brooklyn after speaking with this facility and finding out that there was a doctor available to conduct the ultrasound. Dr. Cross did an amazing job with the ultrasound and later sat with me to compassionately but realistically give the next steps. The next day, we were able to have the surgery that she needed. I am very grateful to Doctor Cross for his help and to all of the staff there who took us in immediately.

I want to share my excellent experience at the VEG ER for Pets veterinary clinic. I brought my pet, Texas, and we received exceptional care from the very first moment. Dr. Abedelhadi was highly professional, attentive, and dedicated to explaining every detail of my pet's condition, which gave me great peace of mind. Nurses Kelly and Ashley, along with assistants Sam and Cally, were incredibly kind throughout the visit and attentive to every need. I also want to highlight the receptionist, Jackie, who welcomed us with a very warm and efficient attitude. The entire team was prepared even before we arrived, demonstrating their commitment and organization. Overall, the care we received was warm, professional, and deeply compassionate. I felt I was in good hands, and I would undoubtedly recommend this place to anyone seeking quality veterinary care for their pet—because our pets are part of the family.

If I could have put 10 stars I would. From the shift on Wednesday night 07/08/26 and spending the whole day at VEG with my cat Roscoe on Thursday 07/09/26 when he had to get surgery, to lastly his recovery on Friday 07/10/26. Everyone treated Roscoe and I like family and Dr. Beshir was very informative as well as skillful to identify the issue and get it taken care of quickly. Dr. Beshir’s team was very helpful in supporting as well especially I believe her name was Holly, she helped Roscoe during the surgery to get him stable. The whole recovery team post surgery, the night of and the day after were tremendous, they cared for him like he was their cat, even though he was very spicy. The pricing was also something that Dr. Beshir was able to work with me on getting it a little lower, as it was a little expensive but worth it in the end. My wife and I cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness and support to help save Roscoe’s life. We are truly grateful.

Rupert McMuffin gave us quite the scare in the middle of the night, and I’m so grateful we brought him here. He was shaking, lethargic, and could barely walk, and we were obviously terrified. Everyone we interacted with was kind, calm, and reassuring. They took great care of him, explained what they thought was going on without making us feel rushed, and helped make a really scary situation feel much more manageable. Thankfully Rupert is totally fine now, but I’m so appreciative of how well he was treated and how compassionate the team was with us too. The cost was also very reasonable for an emergency vet visit, which was a nice surprise. I hope we never need an emergency vet again 😂, but if we do, I would absolutely come back here. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy!

We saw doctor Juan and he was simply amazing. We were seen within minutes, given a sonogram almost immediately and felt very heard when talking through our dogs symptoms. The office was very transparent on billing upfront as well as talking through all the treatment options, not making you feel like you had to go with the most expensive route. Really appreciated Dr. Juan and his team.

A sincere thank you to Dr. Diana, Amanda, Jenna, and the entire team at VEG Cambridge for the incredible care and compassion shown to my dog during our visit. From the initial assessment to the X-rays and blood work, everyone was so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. Dr. Diana took the time to thoroughly explain the examination findings with such insight and care, which truly helped bring comfort during a stressful moment.

Had to bring my dog in on labor day for pretty bad anaphylaxis, he was in such bad shape when we got in but everyone there was so phenomenal and got him stable.

I am beyond grateful they are now opened and we have a fantastic ER vet in our community!!!

I have often found the other emergency vets in the area have staff too undertrained and not equipped to deal with actual procedures. When my cat accidentally swallowed a six inch piece of string at 12:30am Saturday, I debated about calling any of them for an hour. Then I remembered there was a new one I saw on Dorset Street. It was a very long night and they had to try a couple methods, but they were all so calm and pleasant and prepared to actually treat the problem there. Surgery was not necessary but they were ready if it came to that. None of the ‘sorry we can’t do that here you’ll need to wait to see your regular vet in two days’ I’ve gotten from the other places. I was so emotional and drained and dreading the wait for her procedure, but the rooms are equipped with futons! They even have pillows and blankets! I was able to relax and just focus on keeping my cat comfortable. This is a place that understands how exhausting the stress can be and how many people will spend the night unwilling to leave their pets. Their facilities are clean and everything is thought of; I was too upset to eat but I did see they had a variety of snacks and amenities. I’m so glad I made the call and gave VEG a chance. My cat was back to herself and string-free when I got her home. The cost is high but that is simply the nature of an emergency vet and was expected. Luckily we have pet insurance to cover some and they take CareCredit. Really glad VEG is in the area now.

My dog, Saki, was admitted to VEG with a life-threatening fever of 106°F and was hospitalized for two nights. As soon as we arrived, Dr. Beene immediately started treatment. During the ultrasound, I appreciated how she gave details of each organ in real time so I could understand what was going on. The next morning, Dr. Zaremba was incredibly thorough. She took the time to answer all of my questions while starting second line treatments and explaining next steps. I’m an anxious dog mom, but never felt like a burden to the staff. Everyone treated us with kindness and compassion. Sarah went above and beyond to be proactive and patient with a fearful dog, Ashley was so helpful and caring when I was exhausted without sleep, and I am so appreciative to Nicky for placing me & saki in a private room so we could stay together during the hospitalization. I wish I had a full list of everyone’s name, but anyone who helped us - whether it was checking a temp, changing an IV/med, or physically carrying my dog outside to use the bathroom when she was too weak to walk - your care made a difference. Saki is my soul dog - thank you to the VEG team for giving us more time together. 💜

This place is the absolute best, hands down! My 7 month old puppy, Scout, was injured at a doggy daycare facility and everyone at VEG jumped right in to help him. From the moment we walked in, they listened to our concerns and thoroughly explained every detail of what they were doing to aid him. They were so gentle and compassionate and even sat on the floor with him to evaluate and kept it very low stress. I loved that I was able to be with him the entire time instead of him being hauled away into a separate room. My emotions were high and they made me feel calm while still validating my concerns. I have never experienced such compassion, care and transparency from any veterinary hospital the way we did here. Thank you so so much Dr. Dane and the entire staff for helping our little guy get on the mend! We are so so grateful.

No one ever wants to have to visit the ER with their pet, but we cannot say enough good things about VEG. This was our first (and hopefully only) visit, but they were simply amazing. Our little guy ended up with a treble fishing hook embedded in his lips/mouth/nose. They took us right back when we arrived, pain meds were onboard in less than 15 min and he was sedated about 10 minutes after that. They carefully removed the hook and the barbs, all without one drop of blood. We were in and out of there in about an hour. While we are hoping to never have to go back, we certainly wouldn't hesitate, given the care and attention we received from all the staff.

Fantastic care and great service. My dog had a foreign object in her and was transferred to VEG at the recommendation of my urgent care vet. After a consult with VEG, they provided different treatment paths and were considerate of my budget. The entire team was fantastic, intelligent, and caring. During my dog's recovery, we had to return once more, and again the whole crew was fantastic, providing tiered/escalating treatment plans based on her response(s) during recovery.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you ever have a pet emergency, don't hesitate just go there. I called ahead and gave them a rundown, our dog was in shock, unknown abdominal problem, not poisoning. Immediately on a table with 4 techs and the Vet, IV fluids, ultrasound, withdrew fluid from his swollen belly to verify it was blood, simple blood test, BP, all with us by his side and constant communication. From meeting us at the door with a gurney to diagnosis was less than 10 minutes. Gave us estimates, choices, no pressure. Gave us a comfortable, private, quiet room to say goodbye. Stay overnight if you need to, take as long as you need, before euthanasia. Tons of treats provided, canned chicken, string cheese, hersey kisses, all the forbidden things. Over the top thorough, efficient, honest, and so compassionate. 🥺❤️‍🩹 (Sampson had a very sudden tumor on his spleen that ruptured and bled profusely. He'd had a recent history of a different cancer. We chose mercy for him over more protracted pain.) 🌈 Thank you to the crew at VEG ER Palm Desert for caring so much! Sincerely, Tori, Brian, and Sampson

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this facility and their staff. My kitten developed a corneal ulcer and needed treatment quickly. I was panicked, as he needed help immediately but we have been financially struggling and needed to find a clinic that accepted payment plans. Not only does this clinic accept 3 different payment plans options, I realized once I arrived this was a fear-free, open concept facility. I looked around and could see all of their patients and families being treated together right in front of my eyes. The overall visit took 2 hours - as my cat’s corneal ulcer was urgent, but they took in many more severe emergencies. Staff continued to check in on us and offered snacks, drinks and showed me to the bathroom. I was texted a treatment plan and a cost estimate by the vet that I could understand thoroughly. The overall cost - roughly $765 - was entirely reasonable considering the level of care and expertise provided - and my cat was sent home with additional medications and care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This place is truly a gem - and I would come here again and again! Hopefully I’ll never have to - but if I do, I know where I’m heading.

This is not a happy review, but the staff at this emergency vet were incredible. My sweet baby Clementine was attacked and I rushed her in. The staff sprang to action without any questions or waiting when I brought her body through the door. The doctors rushed to her side and did everything they could to save her, while one of them kept in check with me to let me know what was going on. Unfortunately, my baby couldn’t be saved. The amount of urgency, empathy and softness I was shown from all the vets here will never be forgotten. I am devastated beyond words, but this incredible team valued trying to save her life just as much as I did. I hope no one ever ever has to bring their pet to the emergency vet - but if they do, I strongly recommend they bring them here. It’s obvious they care deeply about the pets they serve. Thank you for the effort VEG. I hope the team that helped me tonight feels as valuable as they are. I’ve attached a photo of my sweet baby, so the team can maybe get to see her when she’s not looking the way she did when I brought her in.

I had taken a duckling who suffered from trauma over here for an evaluation and whether euthanasia would be the better choice rather than rehabilitation. From the very beginning of contacting this establishment, everyone I spoke to was incredibly kind, patient, and even humorous in the perfect times that made the situation much more tolerable. The doctors took their time examining the duckling I brought in and were very gentle with explaining why euthanasia would be the best, and I was not pressured at all to sign away responsibility/ownership of the duckling until after the examination and a decision on what to do, which I appreciate. Given my situation being a wild life animal, I was able to receive services for free, so I cannot attest to pricing; however, the staff were great.

Absolutely outstanding service from VEG pleasant hill that words alone cannot describe. Unfortunately our cat ate a hair tie and needed induced vomitting immediately. Upon arrival the team here was extremely quick to assess Kylans situation and take care of him as fast as possible. Even with other situations going on at the time Kylan received the best care possible and the vets were able to get the hair tie out. Because of the situation we were unfortunate enough to not catch the names of the vets that assisted us but they provided us excellent service and went above and beyond to reassure us of the situations and provide a layout of what procedures will/might need to be done. We felt extremely blessed walking out tonight and are extremely grateful for each and everyone of the vets at VEG Pleasant hill. Thank you so much for helping save our kitty!

While VEG can be very pricey, that's pretty standard for emergency care, and I've found them to be largely accommodating. I wanted to specifically thank the kind vets who evaluated my poor kitty Felix, both when he was ill and at the end of his life. Specifically, the vet who helped FeFe pass on was very compassionate and supportive during one of the hardest days of my life. VEG also offered a quiet, dark room for a private goodbye, which meant a lot to me. I recommend them to all my friends with pets.

I am incredibly grateful to the team at Emergency Vet Group for the compassion, professionalism, and urgency they showed when my service dog, Jeremy, was brought to their clinic after a tragic accident. On May 7, 2026, Jeremy was struck by a vehicle. My boyfriend and I rushed him to the clinic, hoping they could save him. As soon as we arrived, approximately seven or eight veterinary staff members immediately rushed to Jeremy's aid. Their quick response and dedication were evident from the moment we walked through the door. Despite their best efforts, Jeremy's injuries were too severe, and he sadly passed away. I know the veterinary team did everything they could to save my baby, and I will always be thankful for the care they provided during his final moments. Jeremy was more than a pet—he was my service animal, my companion, and a huge part of my life. Losing him has been devastating. Throughout the entire experience, the staff treated him with dignity and respect and showed me genuine compassion during one of the hardest days of my life. I cannot thank the doctors, technicians, and staff enough for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. While the outcome was not what I had hoped for, I take comfort in knowing that Jeremy was surrounded by people who cared and who fought to help him. Thank you, Emergency Vet Group, for everything you did for Jeremy and for the compassion you showed me when I needed it most. I will always be grateful. ❤️🐾

I had to take Bella to this urgent care. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by a friendly staff. Member brought to the sitting area where they did the intake. The open concept is truly remarkable. Everyone was so friendly and worked with such diligence, but not in an excited frantic way. I noticed all the pets seem to be put at ease. It wasn’t like any other emergency room or urgent care I have ever seen. The staff or remarkable from the moment I walked in the door I was greeted and cared for. They really cared for Bella, who is in a lot of pain. They did their best to get us in and out of there so quickly and being able to be with her through the process helped her tremendously. If I ever need an urgent or emergency care for any of my pets this is where I will go.

Cannot rate this place high enough. It is expensive but the compassion of all the nurses is truly incredible. I had to carry in my 100 pound plus dog Peter and they got to him right away. Immediately making him and us feel comfortable. We were able to stay with him the whole time even when they were doing testing. He was hospitalized overnight and we could sit with him in or next to the kennel as long as we wanted. They even baked cookies while we were there and handed them out to everyone. I’m glad to report that Peter feels much better and I wish I could make this place our main vet. They are wonderful

This Emergency Animal Hospital (VEG) in Willowgrove PA is awesome. They was there every step of the way with our beautiful 15 year old ShitzPoo "Handsome". First, in providing medical attention two weeks prior; until lastly helping us make that final decision in sending him to doggie heaven. It was a weekend, lots of patients, and never once did we feel rushed nor in the way. The care, compassion and love shown to Handsome and my family did not go unnoticed. We thank the entire staff from the bottom of our hearts for their professionalism in maintaining our dignity "as we all" laid him to rest. Please note that the animal loving residents in Willowgrove PA are so grateful to have you. He will live on forever. My baby boy Handsome, that brought 15 years & 4 months of sunshine

The whole team was amazing. They saved my frenchie Lola on the spot from respiratory failure. Lola was cared with excellent skills, love and lots of care. Her nurses Alex and Clencly were by her all the steps of her life threatening episodes, saving her twice from respiratory colapse. Her amazing Dr. Lopez was great walking me through all the intense life threatening episodes and ensuring she had her meds, tests and constant care around the clock. In the middle of an awful ER day, I felt in the best hands, and truly cared by all the staff and most importantly her immediate team. Best ER in the city! 💓🐶

God forbid you ever need their services, but if you need it, these people are absolutely amazing! They love animals first off, and their customer service is amazing! They’re accommodating and understanding! They made us all feel right at home and completely comforted us in our time of need! Our dog loved all of them, which made getting his treatment so much easier. I am so grateful they were able to see us so fast. Thank you again for your services!
