vet hospital

We have been through many emergency rooms for Dogs, regular vets for Dogs and our Bella is 16 1/2 with stage five lymphoma so you can imagine we have been through many different places for different reasons and Veg is just different, special and very good Different. We have found that one of the most important things for us as Pet parents, as well as Dogs in general is making sure that they are not separated at their most desperate times and it appears VEG has solved those issues by allowing us to be with her every moment of her eight hour journey. While this has just begun I do feel it was the right decision to come here and the staff has been fabulous. Highly recommend.

We were transferred to VEG because our initial emergency room was on diversion. Not knowing what to expect, I was highly satisfied with every aspect of VEG. When we arrived they were expecting us and flew into admission and treatment. The quote I was given was 4,500 less than others I was given at the initial emergency room. I was shocked when they asked me and my son if we wanted a bed to stay the night with my dog. Usually Vet Emergency clinics take your dog and you don't see them until you pay and are discharged. The staff ran through my pups treatment plan and offered us snacks. The nurse talked with my son and showed him the other animals. When we decided to go home to sleep, they promised texts and phone calls. The next day I was welcomed in to sit with my baby. They took extra precaution not to discharge him until they felt he was ready. They did not rush his discharge to get rid of him... actually I'm almost certain they would have kept him another night because he was so loved. VEG changed my perspective of what Vet Emergency Hospitals could and should be. I will be bypassing my usual Emergency Clinic and coming straight to VEG next time. I can't say enough about the staff...especially the night staff!!!! e I cannot for the life of me remember the names of the staff. The first 1 was the night nurse who was in charge of the admitted animals... glasses, blond hair..super sweet. The second was the day vet tech...guy, so kind and I watched him kiss all of the babies like they were his own...smells like vanilla if that helps narrow it down. Also the doctors both night and day were pleasant and thorough with explaining his condition and plan for treatment!

We had a great experience from start to finish. The doctors were very nice and professional while treating our cat. It’s definitely worth the time and effort to go visit their vet team to take care of your pet!! My cat is feeling better today after seeing them yesterday!

I don’t normally go to the ER for non-life-threatening issues, but my dog had been having GI issues for over 24 hours on a holiday weekend with no relief, and neither of us had slept during that time, so I finally decided to bring her in. Even though there were more critical emergencies happening around us, the staff never once made me feel like my dog’s situation was any less important or that I shouldn’t be there. Dr. Muhas was not only knowledgeable and helpful, but also just genuinely cool and nice. She made the whole experience feel a lot less stressful. Everyone we interacted with was kind, the facility was clean, and I felt like my dog was in really good hands. The only thing I’d mention for anyone going for the first time is that VEG has an open-concept setup, so you’re pretty aware of the other emergencies happening around you. Unfortunately, while I was there, a dog was brought in who needed to be euthanized. The dog and family were in a closed-off private room, so I didn’t actually see what was happening, but I still knew what was going on and cried like an absolute baby and probably looked like a crazy person lol. So if you’re sensitive to seeing or being around animals in distress like I am, just prepare yourself a little for the open environment. Pricing was surprisingly reasonable for emergency care, too. Obviously an ER visit isn’t going to be cheap, but I wasn’t in shock when I saw my bill. I sincerely hope I never have to go back to an emergency vet again, but if an emergency does happen, this is absolutely where I’ll go. Really grateful to Dr. Muhas and the entire team for taking such good care of my girl.

Amazing staff!! I have never needed to bring my sweet boy Bruce to an ER vet before. I am so thankful that VEG was the one I visited. Everyone who worked with me and Bruce were so kind and informative. They listened to my concerns about my boys tummy problems and helped ease my nerves while providing excellent care! Will definitely be my go-to ER vet going forward (fingers crossed that we aren’t there again for a long while!)

So grateful we have VEG in Woodbury. My dog had her first major ear infection that accelerated rapidly by the end of the day and the whole staff made the experience as good as an ER experience could be. My dog was well cared for and it was really lovely to see how much the staff cared about each family that came in. Also, the cost was not as high as I expected an ER visit to be. In these tough economic times, it’s a relief to know my dog could get the emergency help she needed at a cost that didn’t absolutely break the bank. Thank you so much to the amazing team at VEG.

This was my first time having to take my pet to an ER vet and my expectations were beyond met. Dr. Funk was so attentive and proactive in getting my dog back to himself and was thorough through the whole process. Nurse Kaitlyn was so kind and hospitable towards my pet and went above and beyond to make sure we were both comfortable. I could shout out every person on their team and I believe that my dog was able to recover as fast as he did because of the care and love that he received at this office. They even rolled out a red carpet and celebrated his recovery as we left! 10/10 service and care!

the staff at veg were so kind to both my partner and i, but to our cat as well. they listened to all of our concerns and thoroughly explained everything as they were doing it. they allowed us to remain in the room with our cat to keep her more comfortable and they were so gentle with her. she has already been doing so much better since her visit and i cannot recommend them enough.

We brought our dog, Buddy, to VEG twice last week, and I can’t say enough about the care we received. Our first visit was when Buddy wasn’t feeling well last Monday. We were able to bring him in right away and we got seen quickly. They took great care of him before he was transferred to Tufts, where he spent the week undergoing testing. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cancer. We brought him home hoping to spoil him and make him as comfortable as possible, but it quickly became clear that it was his time. We made the difficult decision to bring him back to VEG to say goodbye. Even though the hospital was incredibly busy that evening, they welcomed us back without hesitation. Every single person we encountered was kind, compassionate, and treated Buddy with love. Even tho the practice is an “open room” concept, they had a private room for euthanasia, which we appreciated. One of the vet techs even searched the break room for every snack she could find, hoping Buddy might enjoy one last special treat. It was such a small gesture, but it meant the world to us. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do, but VEG made it as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be. We will always be grateful for the kindness they showed us.

Everything in this place was outstanding!! Dr. Brennan and the team gave my dog such care at a time when I was so upset about him being attacked / fight with a bigger dog. They were professional, the place was spotless and everyone was so caring! I give them high marks and recommend going here if ever you are in an emergency with your pet 100%. Kudos to George who cared for Kimbo. I do not remember everyone’s name but they were ALL great.

I took my senior pittie mix Maple here with what turned out to be horrible pancreatitis. She was hospitalized and I stayed with her all night and they made me up a bed so we would be comfortable together. This was my first time being overnight and I emergency vet and I didn’t know what to expect. Everyone was so kind and stopped to give her lots of love and reassurance no matter how busy they were. I really felt like they cared about her and wanted to get to know her which made all the difference in her care plan I am certain. They also refunded some costs on my bill for things that they didn’t end up needing to do, which I thought was really kind of them. It was obvious that they wanted to make sure that they billed me fairly. VEG is my favorite emergency vet because they employ gentle handling and allow you to stay with your pet the entire time. No secret back area where you’re not sure what they’re doing with your animal, or what kind of care they are getting. I cannot mention everyone who helped us, but Dr Zaremba, Em, Gretchen, Aubrey, we are so grateful. I didn’t catch your name but the person working the desk was so kind and helpful and took a turn hand feeding Maple when she became more interested in playing than eating when she started to feel better. What a talented and kind group of humans. Thank you for saving my little old lady.

My newfound little kitten Chanterelle got herself trapped in a tight spot at home late on a Saturday night. She was stuck for a couple hours before I found her. When I discovered her, she was frantically crying and struggling. I got her free and found she had badly injured a rear leg and could not walk on it. I was afraid of how bad her injury might be. I called VEG and described the situation. Samantha was very kind and quickly made a good diagnosis over the phone. I felt they might be well qualified to provide urgent care. Upon arrival, I was taken to the cat room and immediately met with Nurse Ashley. She made a thorough preliminary evaluation. Also, Ashley and Samantha did everything to make sure we were comfortable. Dr. Edwards arrived within minutes. Both the nurse and doctor were very kind, caring and professional. Immediately they performed an ultrasound and then followed up with x-rays. It was their diagnosis that my kitten did not have any broken bones or internal organ damage. Throughout the entire visit, they clearly informed me of the costs of all procedures and made no pressure to perform unnecessary tests, etc. The nurse and doctor were happy to answer my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the visit. Their diagnosis was spot-on and over the next few weeks my kitten fully recovered. I was so happy! And, I was so grateful that the VEG team was there when we needed them. The VEG team are very professional and caring. They clearly love their jobs and love animals. The facilities are also worth noting: everything was spotless and clean, and the equipment was the most modern of any I’ve seen in any veterinary clinic. Thank you for taking good care of us!

The experience we had with VEG was fantastic. When we arrived, we met with Dr. Butts to have Leia evaluated and come up with a plan of treatment for her. Following that, he consulted with Dr. Rodriguez for surgery. They treated Leia with the utmost care. The support staff was also fantastic in keeping her comfortable and taken care of. I appreciated the time everyone spent with us answering our questions and concerns.

Last night, you helped our dog Zedd, you listened to us, you talked to us, you helped us!!! My family couldn't be anymore appreciative of what you guys did for us ❤️, our pets mean the world to us, we made a plan and helped us execute it, thank you all 🙏

I was babysitting my son‘s cat. He got into a little leftover chocolate cake. Pet Poison Control Recommended that he be taken to his vet. VET H Is about a mile away and so that is where I headed. I was impressed at how quickly we were brought to be triage and the transparency of a treatment plan and pricing. After being given an emetic, lo and behold, there was more than chocolate cake in his stomach! He had to stay overnight for an NG tube and x-rays to determine if there was any more pieces of the bracelets. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, nurses and docs. While, I hope I do not ever have to go there again with my son‘s cat, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so if need be.

These people are very concerned with your pet's needs. They are very respectful and want to do nothing more then help get our pets on recovery. They are also very passionate about the owners feelings and concerns. They're in this for our animals and not the money. Thanks again to EVERYONE at VEG in Chapel Hill, NC for getting Baby feeling better.

Our experience with VEG ER for Pets was exceptional from start and sadly to finish. The entire team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, compassion, and expertise during a very emotionally stressful situation. Every member of the staff treated both us and our sick fur child with genuine kindness, taking the time to explain every step of the evaluation and treatment process thoroughly. The veterinarians and technicians were knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly dedicated to providing the highest level of emergency care. Their communication was excellent, ensuring we understood our pet's condition and treatment options while making us feel supported throughout the entire visit. The facility was clean, well-organized, and welcoming, and it was evident that patient care is their top priority. Knowing our pet was in such capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during a difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided by the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. Their commitment to excellence, compassion, and professionalism truly sets them apart. I highly recommend VEG ER for Pets to anyone in need of 24/7 emergency veterinary care. Thank you for everything you do for our beloved pets and their families.

Yesterday could’ve been a nightmare but this place was truly amazing. My dog got into a prescription pill bottle and shared some with my cat. Dr. Hanlon helped clear their systems and monitor them until it was safe to go home. They gave me a private room with my cat & dog together so I could be with them both for the full 8 hours as they each got treatment, not having to sit in a waiting room desperate for updates. I even had DoorDash deliver dinner to the front desk and they brought it back to me. They gave us a litter box, water bowl, and multiple large blankets. The ability to be with both my dog and cat at the same time was worth every penny (and it was a lot of pennies).

Where can I start, well for one I wish I knew the names of the ladies that helped us when I went with my precious Nala, whom I miss so much. We called in on May 19th at 3am and told the very nice lady who answered what was going on with Nala and how she was having a hard time breathing and slobbering all over. Was instructed to fill out a form so that they can have her information ready on file and to bring her in right away. We were received at the door and taken care of immediately. Unfortunately we were shown on the ultrasound that she was having heart issues and had fluid all around her heart. She was already dying so we had to choose to let her go in peace. The 3 doctors were very supportive with me and my daughters. It was a very hard decision but I didn’t want her to suffer. Thank you for being so patient and compassionate with us. It meant the world 🌎 to us. Thank you also for the box you added Nala’s body in and for the beautiful card you sent us. We have it in our fridge. They’re the kindest people I’ve ever met. I highly recommend them.

I literally couldn’t complain about a single thing about VEG!! From the person who opened the door for me each time I’ve been there all the way to the doctors and everyone caring for my animals over the last year because I’ve had multiple emergencies!!! this team and this location is absolutely amazing and I am beyond words at the care, concern, patience and understanding of each and every one of them and my family is forever grateful for VEG Snellville!!!! .
