I just visited the new vet emergency clinic in Manhattan Beach. My 12 years old puppy had the most beautiful experience he ever had at a vet office. Doctor Townsley was awesome and his medical team ; Megumi and Jonathan were just as wonderful , including Emily who helped me and greeted me at the front desk! I felt so happy and relieved to have met such a competent and young team who were all able to make this visit a fun one! Also the environment is so spacious and pet friendly! I am including a picture of my Ruggles who looks obviously very happy to stop by here ! ;)) Thank you so much for all you do and thank you for rendering this experience a happy one Cristina V.

We are incredibly thankful for the VEG ER team and the amazing care they gave our Dr. Squiggles! We took Dr. Squiggles in when we noticed he hadn’t been peeing, and we were extra stressed because he’s known for being very feisty at the vet. Squiggles did not hold back from showing the care team his intense spiciness, and yet the doctors handled him with understanding and care. They identified a urinary block and clearly laid out a treatment / care plan for us. We’re sorry he gave the team a tough time (enough to break the ranking scale and warrant a new “Pepper X” designation), but he’s home now and is being a sweet bell pepper boy! We really appreciate VEG ER, and want to especially thank our care team: Dr. Wallach, Carla, Moira, Liz, and Maryan.

Let me just note that not every veterinarian or emergency group will even see an exotic pet, especially a large bird. VEG Greenville will! I went to VEG Greenville at midnight on a Friday night. I was met at the door and taken to a room immediately. A medical staff member immediately assessed my Moluccan Cockatoo (Layla) and was kind and gentle with her. Layla had fallen in her cage and was showing great distress. Layla is 26 years old, this has never happened before, we were very concerned. Despite the practice being very busy, I met with multiple staffers and had several sessions with Dr. Jones directly. After a thorough physical exam, Dr.?Jones ordered an x ray and discovered that Layla was egg bound. The staff administered meloxicam pain medication, fluids, calcium and I believe the last medicine was oxytocin (not sure of this name). Layla’s treatment was not rushed (I was there 4.5 hours) she was monitored, cared for and also shown a great deal of love. This morning, 36 hours after her first indication that something was wrong, we were blessed with an egg. If Layla had not been able to pass the egg naturally, VEG Greenville provided me with a detailed plan for her treatment- which would have included surgery. The staff was with us every step of this process and truly answered our prayers. Some quick points I want to make that may not seem important, but they meant a lot to our family. -The staff made us feel heard and treated Layla like she was the most beautiful and important patient in the world. -I was exhausted (besides the hour of night I drove 1 hr and 15 minutes to get there) and I was offered snacks, fresh coffee, water and soda. -The rooms were private enough, but still allowed me to feel connected and within reach at all times -The facility is modern and very clean -The facility is well staffed. -I was expecting to pay significantly more than I was charged. -I was sent an electronic copy of Layla’s X-ray and medical records. - I received messages of support checking in on her progress. - I liked everyone I had the pleasure to deal with during this experience. -Every technician we dealt with was Licensed. Their education and experience showed. Thank you so much to the entire “midnight” staff. Special thanks to Dr. Jones (very bright, gentle and detailed), Ashley (who Layla may love more than she loves me) and Taylor (who thoroughly radiates kindness) All of these women were superior at their job, took the role seriously, were conscientious and made this difficult (potentially life threatening) situation, somehow better. God bless VEG Greenville, our family appreciated every little thing.

This team is not only equipped for any animal emergency, I would trust them with my own care they are that good. 24/7 emergent care comes at a price but they will give you the best possible outcome and deal that they can. They are wonderful. Our dog has pancreatitis and the care they provided was top notch. The fact that it’s open concept and I could be with my baby the whole time was so comforting for me and for our dog. I would use them 10 times over. Tara Farmer (tech) is amazing and doctor Chelsea Segura is so knowledge and ensures you know everything so you can advocate for your pet.

Piggy backing on my husbands review because words cannot express the gratitude I have for this place. Everyone is amazing here and have a great compassionate team that will do everything they can to help your pet. Our Salty is 14 years old and did not think it was possible but they managed to get her better and return to her usual shenanigans. People with the bad reviews/comments about the cost, need to understand that this is AN EMERGENCY service. I understand times are tough for everyone but if you want/need the best care,it will be well worth it. Also the concept of being able to be with your pet the entire time is absolutely amazing and I cannot imagine going anywhere else now.Will recommend them to everyone!

We have had to visit VEG twice and both experiences have been amazing, considering what we were there for. The team at VEG ER for PETS are friendly, compassionate, and thorough. They were easy to speak to & listened to every thing we found important to share about our pets situation. He received exceptional care, great after care instructions, & wonderful follow up. They truly care for your PET. Very trust worthy. I'm thankful they are close by when I need them. Thanks for always looking out for my boy. SUSANNAH & LENNOX

We brought our puppy Pearl in as an emergency after she suffered a leg injury, and the entire team at VEG ER for Pets in Winter Park was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff was loving, attentive, and made sure she was comfortable the whole time she was there. They clearly care deeply about the animals they treat, not just the medical side of things but her comfort and emotional state too. We were understandably distressed bringing her in, and the staff made a scary situation so much easier to get through. We are incredibly thankful for everyone there who took care of our little girl. Highly recommend this team to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet.

I had the misfortune of needing an ER vet last night. My 16yo cat Pebbles took a turn for the worse yesterday necessitated emergency care. I called ahead and they were caring from the start. I was fighting back tears telling her what was going on and when I got there they were ready and immediately started working on my cat. They did vitals, drew blood, and testing all the basic stuff pretty quickly. Vet came over and did an ultrasound on my cat where we saw tons of things going wrong internally and she showed us the ultrasound as she was doing it and explaining everything. She then talked to us about everything, her viewpoint, and once I said I only wanted procedures if it had a high probability of improving her QOL, she very carefully said there wasn't really anything left to do. They gingerly moved her and us to a quiet room to say goodbye. They did not rush us in the slightest and had plenty of tissues. They had a "doorbell" that we pressed when we were ready for the shot. Previous Vet came in and administered the shot, explained how it all worked, and answered questions. Afterwards, she confirmed her passing and left us alone until we were ready to leave. They had plenty of options for our cats "aftercare" and we had it all arranged beforehand so when we were ready to leave we kissed her goodbye as they took her body away. I really have nothing negative to say and from here on out, plan on using them for emergency veterinary services again god forbid I need them.

This was the first time we had Claire there but we had taken our previous dog, Gracie there twice and our experience has always been wonderful considering the fact that our dog needed the help. The entire staff is immediately attentive to the dog’s discomfort and makes us feel that we are in good hands right from the start. High praise for the entire staff. They called the next day to follow up!!

I cannot imagine going to another ER after experiencing the VEG open concept. I cannot say enough good things and the care they gave my mini dachshund puppy❤️ I brought her here after she ate part of an oatmeal raisin cookie. (Toxic) After vomiting was induced at her regular vet, she was hospitalized at VEG for two days on IV fluids. The doctors and staff were absolutely outstanding. All the Vet Techs are amazing and super sweet. I especially want to thank Chelsea, Vet Tech, She was amazing and took such amazing care of both Siena and me. She constantly checked in on us, made sure we were comfortable, and even set up an area so I could stay overnight and sleep next to Siena. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the animals and loves what she does. ❤️ I spent over 24 hours at VEG during her two-day hospitalization, so I got to see firsthand how the team works behind the scenes. I watched pets come in with emergencies and saw how quickly everyone was on their feet helping them. The vet techs were constantly checking on, caring for, and comforting the animals staying there. Seeing that made me trust and appreciate this place even more. VEG is truly a game changer because you can stay with your pet throughout their hospitalization. And the doctors are all around there in the same room, you can ask a question any time. Being able to stay by Siena’s side was such a blessing. I love this place! 🐾❤️

The customer service here was outstanding from the very first call to verify they had antivenom, all the way until we walked out the door. Our dog was bitten by a rattlesnake, and we were already overwhelmed and nervous. As soon as we arrived, the staff jumped in to help—calm, understanding, and thorough with explanations. They handled the chaos beautifully, even while I was juggling my injured dog and a very curious 4-year-old asking tons of questions. I truly hope I never have to return, but if I do, I know we’ll be in excellent hands. Highly recommend!

WOW. I cannot say enough great things about this hospital. We were 6 hours away from home when our girl got bit by another dog at a campground. We expected to spend basically the entire night sitting in a waiting room, but we have never been to a VEG hospital… From the moment we walked in, they greeted us at the door and we never had to leave our dog’s side through the whole process. The clinic was SO CLEAN and the staff were absolutely elite. They were friendly, knowledgeable and so patient with us and gentle with our girl. The vet quite literally sat next to us and wrote up a care plan explaining every single step and was so upfront about cost and recovery. We are so grateful for their incredible compassion and top-notch care they gave her. Easily the best experience we have ever had at an ER Vet. We were in and out in less than 3 hours. Huge shoutout to Dr. Forton, Emile, Yorrick & Jenn - you guys are absolute rockstars and turned what could have been a nightmare ordeal into a positive experience. And yes, we will be seeking out other VEGgies 😆 back home in WI.

We took our sweet kitty, Iggy to be seen and they explained everything in detail. He has FIP and his body was shutting down. They were able to make him comfortable and drew fluid but ultimately we found he was septic. We made the difficult decision to euthanize him. My 8 year old son was with me and they were so kind to him. They allowed us time with him in a nice room and placed him in a box with a paw print. I hope we never need another pet at an ER but if we do, we’re going here.

The staff at VEG were outstanding! My bunny Flower needed emergency surgery and no other veterinarian would take me in on an emergency basis except for VEG! Dr. Ortiz, Dr.V and tech Jess saved my bunnies life this weekend with their knowledge of exotics, kindness and hard working mentality. The whole staff went above and beyond to take care of her before, during and after surgery. We are forever grateful they see how special our bunny is to us and treated her as if she was their own. I would recommend this hospital to anyone! Thank you VEG!!

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! 💓🐶

We had to bring our sweet dog to the ER during a very scary and unfortunate situation, but the care we received was truly amazing. The vet tech and veterinarian were both so kind, compassionate, and comforting from the moment we arrived. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and help us feel safe and reassured through the entire process. Most importantly, they treated our dog with so much love and gentleness, making sure she felt comfortable and cared for when she needed it most. We are so thankful for their kindness, patience, and the incredible 5-star care they provided. ❤️ thank you so much VEG!

My husky was severely lethargic and had been throwing up for over 24 hours. He was in so much pain. After 2 long nights of laying in the floor with him and wondering if we could make it to our primary care vet, I decided it was time to get him some help. I called several places and ended up taking him here by the direct recommendation of the doctor, who was willing to talk to me on the phone! I am SO glad I did. I can’t say enough about the medical team here. Everyone was very thorough and made my dog and I comfortable from the very beginning. Unlike some ER vet places, they don’t try to sell you things, or treat you like a number. Most importantly, they were eager to listen to ALL of the details I had for them regarding my baby, and they genuinely cared. I am so grateful to have found this place, it was worth driving the extra 20 minutes for me!

I had to take Sia, my cat to VEG today because VCA Animal Hospital on Bradshaw does not have a doctor. I thought my cat was in respiratory distress because she got a cold and was breathing like she was distressed last night. I did not sleep at all and I was very stressed out and concerned for her. Upon arrival they called a doctor right over who assessed her and told me she was not in respiratory distress and put us in a private room where more vital signs were taken. We saw a doctor in less than 10 minutes and we were assured the cold needed to run it's course and she would not recommend antiviral medication. The doctor said we could take her home. I thought we would get a huge bill but she said there was no cost because they didn't do anything. But, they did a great service for me and my husband because we had piece of mind that our furbaby was not going to die. The fact that they took her immediately to see a doctor for triage to determine if she needed oxygen was very impressive. I was in tears. All staff who checked out my cat, Sia, did a wonderful job. I truly appreciate this service being here in Elk Grove and I highly recommend this emerging service for all furbabies.

When one of my worst fears came true and my cat Penny experienced a life-threatening urinary obstruction at 3am, her VEG team not only saved her life but also showed a level of compassion and dedication that’s hard to find elsewhere. Thank you so much to her team — Dr. E, Dr. Neal, Dr. Caldwell, Megan, Hannah, Nola, and everyone else involved in her care — for taking such incredible care of Penny and turning one of the most terrifying experiences of my life into one where I left feeling relieved, with my best friend still by my side. Her doctors performed life-saving surgery before dawn and went above and beyond in every aspect of her care, including patiently answering my endless list of questions. Her technicians were incredibly kind, hardworking, knowledgeable, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed to be as comfortable as possible during our stay. As any emergency visit understandably is, our visit was expensive, but the team helped me save money in every way they could. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for VEG. I’ll never forget the compassion, skill, and reassurance they showed me during the scariest night of my life.

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.
