I don’t know where to start. We were sent here from another clinic. Our kitty Chloe was in bad condition. We had a bad feeling she wouldn’t make it. The staff was incredibly helpful in every way. The hospitality was amazing and on point. This is a high quality emergency room. I would say worth it because of the service and how our fur baby got everything she needed. SHE MADE IT! She’s family and they saw what she meant to us. We stayed the night with her to make sure she was okay. They would update us every time she was getting something or what they were doing. How she was doing. She was improving quick! Very honest staff!!! Which I loved a lot! You don’t get that anymore. The both doctors we had were very knowledgeable when any question was asked. They had the answer and explained it very well so we could understand. Very kind, smart and friendly. They made you feel very comfortable there. Manager was very nice. The staff is checking every single pet in there all day. They were on it. They hardly even sit taking care of the pets. They really care so much. I can’t say how thankful we are for the whole staff there! YOU'RE AMAZING! Thank you for saving our Chloe! 😭 ♥️🐈‍⬛ 🙏🏼

They are amazing. Make her feel so welcome to provide blankets and towels and food and IVs that can be moved so she can sit by the window and in the private room we can visit her 24 seven the staff and the doctors are so welcoming and kind and accommodate for any needs, and they make her feel safe and provide private rooms with multiple things that you can use to feed help sleep and pee in.

I hope you never have to go to the Emergency Vet…but if you do, this is the one. I am so incredibly grateful for the staff here. Dr. Ray was very knowledgeable and transparent. She did a wonderful job at putting us at ease when there wasn’t anything wrong, and did just as good of a job 3 days later when there was something wrong. She presented us with all options, making sure to go over R/B/A. The whole time the nurses and vet was working on her, we asked if we needed to move but they were always so insistent that we stay next to her and they would work around us so we could be by her the whole time. Ultimately, we had to make the tough call of putting our baby girl down. Although Dr. Ray’s shift ended at 7:00, she stayed the whole time until my husband and I were ready to leave. We never once felt like we were “just another patient.” Ein was always treated as if she were a staff member’s dog. We are forever grateful for this place and everything they did for Ein and us. ❤️

I took my dog there for a ruptured A.G.. From the moment I called, they were amazing. Once I arrived they greeted me at the entry, took my boy to triage him, explained every step. I got to stay with him so he was comfortable during his procedure. They didn't take him in the back. Its an open treatment area. The way the techs and vet treated me and my pup was wonderful. Pricing is comparable to other emergency services. However what makes them different is they will work with you and not make you feel shameful if you need help. If you find yourself needing Emergency services I highly recommend them. Its nice to take your fur baby somewhere that cares.

I had to rush my baby to the emergency room just two hours after he was diagnosed with Addison’s disease at our regular vet. We ended up staying there overnight. I’m so incredibly grateful that I was able to stay with him the entire time. Being able to walk him, hold him, and comfort him meant everything. Every single nurse we encountered was truly amazing, so kind and compassionate. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the animals and their owners. I’m deeply thankful to everyone who works so hard there, both during the day and throughout the night. Thank you all for turning such a stressful, emotional experience into one filled with care and support. It truly meant the world.

Last week was a scary week for our family.. Our 10-year-old lab, Digger, needed emergency intestinal surgery after ingesting four pairs of underwear (yes… FOUR 😭). I, along with my family want to publicly thank the incredible team at VEG for the way you cared for Digger, and for the way you cared for me and my family through it all. From my endless tears and heartbreak to every decision and “what happens next,” you walked me through step-by-step with patience, compassion, and true professionalism. With his age and a very difficult healing process, we’ve had countless visits and still have ongoing ones… and not once did you make me feel like I was being “too much” or overdramatic. You understood that Digger is family, and you treated him like he was your family too. And as you can see by the picture, his brother Dallas is worried about his big brother too. ❤️ The love and worry doesn’t just stop with the humans in our family, our pups feel it too. We’re still not completely out of the woods, but I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your care, your kindness, and the compassion you show every single day. Thank you, VEG, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🐾 God Bless, Marla and Doug Stilwill

I called in Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) ER for Pets, and they were incredibly responsive and helped us secure a 40 cm cone. My mom went in to pick it up, and the staff was welcoming, attentive, and thorough with all the information. Even though they were busy with a full house of patients, they still made sure she was taken care of quickly and kindly.Thank you VEG for exceptional service!!! I know if anything goes wrong with my pets or my own client's pets I will definitely bring them to you! I wish there was a clinic like this. 🙂😊

What can I say? The veterinary staff at VEG are simply outstanding in every way. My mother brought our little dog, Gia, because she had several epileptic seizures one after another. From the moment my mom arrived, the entire staff immediately focused on Gia. They took her from my mother’s arms and rushed her inside so they could stabilize her properly. They kept her hospitalized overnight, and whenever we called, they always provided us with updates on Gia’s condition and progress. Honestly, if it hadn’t been for them, Gia might not be alive today. Excellent veterinary team! 💓 They are people who truly love animals and are dedicated to their work. Their compassion, professionalism, and commitment made all the difference for our family. We are forever grateful. 🐾💖

Amazing care for exotics. My wife and I took in one of our goats for stomach issues and the team that helped us and our goat were rockstars. Professional, caring, and helped us as much as possible with the treatment they could provide. They helped us set up further treatment and finding a specialty veterinarian.

Came in on a Saturday morning and was lucky to catch it on a slower day. I had an excellent experience here. I had a lot of PTSD as my last emergency pet visit was with my last dog and he didn’t come home with me 🥹. So to say I was a little anxious was an understatement. They made my dog feel like a priority the minute we walked in. I was very worried about his vomiting and diarrhea that he had been dealing with for over 48 hours. A quick x-ray and blood work and we got our answer. They loved my dog like he was one of theirs and it was great. The staff and my vet was amazing. I got tons of great information and all of his test results which I have never had before. Because I work in healthcare I love that info, even for my dog. Highly recommend VEG and the Schaumburg location!!

brought my dog Nala into VEG during one of the scariest nights I’ve ever had with her. She was extremely congested, struggling to breathe, and her little body was working so hard just to oxygenate properly. It was a full emotional roller coaster — trying to stay calm, trying to understand what was happening, trying to process the cost, the options, the medications, the X-rays, and the fear of not knowing what was causing it. Dr. McKinney was Nala’s main doctor, and Susan and Sam were the main techs caring for her. I was genuinely so impressed by them. You can tell when people are just “doing a job” versus when they are deeply passionate and extremely knowledgeable as this team was. They were thorough, calm, sharp, compassionate, and incredibly present. What stood out most was how much they kept me updated. I never felt like Nala was taken away and I was left in the dark. They explained what they were doing, what they were watching, what they were concerned about, and what the next steps were. They were watching every detail, and that gave me so much comfort during a terrifying situation. Also, VEG is truly like a regular ER. There is a lot happening in there, scared families, sick animals, emergencies coming in, people making hard decisions. It was honestly beautiful to see them in action. Very organized, very attentive, very human. Emergency vet care is never easy emotionally or financially, but I left feeling deeply grateful that Nala was in such capable hands. I feel lucky to have this team available in such a scary time. If you are wondering whether this place is okay: hands down, the best. Thank you Dr. McKinney, Susan, Sam, and the entire VEG team for taking such good care of Nala and for everything you do.

We had to bring our boxer in for emergency CSection. The whole chipped in due to having 14 puppies. We lost 1 at home and 1 at the hospital. Everyone was so nice and saved my baby's life. We had to return 3cweeks later due to a puppy aspirating. She was admitted and her care team took such good care of her. Thank you Dr. Lingen, Dr. Hammett, Dr. Patel, Sam, Jess W, Taylor & Jess. We are so grateful!

I am so grateful for Dr Volkman and her associates at Veg ER. Our 12 yr old dog "Bug" was having difficulty breathing and I can't say enough about how caring and intelligent the staff was. When we first arrived he could only walk a short distance so they made him comfortable right where he was so he could rest and proceeded to treat him there. I've never seen our dog so at ease with strangers, I really believe he sensed the genuine caring they surrounded him with. I was amazed. Their home care instructions were detailed and easy to understand. One of the girls there even decorated his folder for his paper work with his name and some art... a small detail but little things like that really mean a lot. I can tell you these people genuinely care about the animals they treat. I highly recommend and won't hesitate to return when and if the need ever arises again.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG Pet Hospital in Hoboken. My cat Binx went through a very scary medical emergency involving urinary blockage and crystals, and the entire team was incredible from start to finish. Dr. Chan was outstanding, and every doctor, nurse, and staff member we encountered treated Binx with exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism. They took the time to explain everything, answer our questions, and reassure us during an extremely stressful situation. Their kindness and genuine concern for both Binx and our family made all the difference. What could have been a terrifying experience was made so much more manageable because of the remarkable treatment and support we received. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, Binx is doing so much better, and we are beyond grateful. One thing I would like future pet owners to know is that emergency veterinary care can be expensive, but in my experience, the costs reflected the thorough level of care, diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment my cat received. The team was transparent about pricing and provided treatment estimates based on my pet's condition and potential needs. If certain services were not needed, those costs were adjusted accordingly. I would also strongly recommend pet insurance to anyone with pets. Unexpected medical emergencies can happen, and having insurance can make a difficult situation much less stressful financially. Most importantly, it allows you to focus on getting your pet the care they need when every minute matters. Overall, I highly recommend VEG Pet Hospital to anyone looking for outstanding veterinary care. The level of treatment, attention, and compassion they provide is truly exceptional. Thank you to Dr. Chan and the entire VEG team for taking such amazing care of our baby.

We came early Sunday morning. We got seen right away. Staff was kind, patient, listened to concerns. My dog had a number 2 accident on the floor, staff was very kind about it, no shame, which I appreciated in a moment that was already overhwelming. Open concept floor plan. Got to talk to other people with their pets. They did bloodwork, Xray, Ultrasound. They were able to send Xray copies to my dogs primary care vet. I had a bad experience at Blue Pearl so im really glad VEG is here now. I definitely recommend.

This is a five star experience all around. Very nice and clean environment, with kind and approachable people. They pretty much let you watch and see everything they do, they have snacks and drinks available, and give you a private room to sit in. They are upfront on pricing and will go over things with you. You'll spend quite a bit, but its really on you and your doctor to determine how serious something can truly be and if its worth the tests, intervention, etc. We paid around $2000 for a variety of tests and treatments. Our cat Leo was looking and acting half dead for about a week and refusing water or food, heart breaking to see everyday. My wife and I decided to take him here after getting an exam done at a local Vetco. Leo felt better within 1-2 days after our visit. Dr Lopp is really great and made herself available to sit down and explain things more in depth with us multiple times. Attached photo is Leo the cat getting an ultrasound done to him.

Every single staff member we interacted with was INCREDIBLE. Love how much they loved our pup. And love how they interacted with our two young children who were with us. They even took our five year old daughter over to the area where they tested our dog’s blood and explained how it worked. They were so cute and kind to our 1 year old who was waving and smiling at theme through our room window. And this was ON TOP of caring for our dog who was being treated for a dog bite. They loved on him like he was their own, which is all I could ever ask for. This was our first ever time having to be in an emergency vet and it exceeded all expectations.

We had an incredible experience at VEG ER. We brought in a stray dog, Misty, on a Sunday night to be scanned for a microchip and get a quick exam. From the moment we walked in, the staff was so kind, compassionate, and welcoming. What truly sets VEG ER apart is how they include you in every step of your pet’s care—you can stay with your pet the entire time, even during procedures. That level of transparency and comfort is something you just don’t see everywhere. Even though Misty is a stray, they treated her like she was their own. That meant everything to us as a rescue. Knowing you can stay overnight with your pet or visit them at any time brings so much peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for the care they provided. Highly recommend VEG ER to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet.

Veg Emergency Animal Hospital was amazing. The service, The Karen staff, the expertise, all went above and beyond my expectation. I was able to stay with my dog, was involved in the decisions, and allowed to sit in the kennel with him while he rested!

I cannot express how grateful I am towards the entire VEG ER team. Nurse Lisa and Dr. Yodvilai were so beyond helpful, patient and caring towards my pet. Choosing to visit VEG ER for my pet’s emergency was possibly the best decision I could have made. They made us feel very comfortable and welcomed as soon as we arrived. Their professionalism is definitely something worth praising. Thank you once again for being so wonderful towards our furry babies.
