We had a very sick dog and Higgins needed help immediately. We took him in on a Sunday and they saw him right away as we got there. The place was comfortable and the staff was AMAZING. They work with your budget and give you reassurance in giving your pet assistance and care. The VET was top notch and it's an easy to find location. His regular vet is seeing him now and they got our pup feeling better to make his visit today. Thank you all at VEG ER for Pets. Please remember this place for any emergencies that come up with your pet. They see many breeds so you can get help with several types of pets.

I cannot thank VEG ER enough for everything they did to save my little Dumpling. Our kitten got into our dogs flea and tick medicine which is very toxic to cats and my baby started to have tremors and throwing up a few hours after she ingested his medicine. I called VEG ER and from the moment they answered the phone I knew I was going to have a good experience and instantly felt like I could trust them. They were so kind on the phone, advised us to come in right away. As soon as we walked in they knew who we were and called in for a STAT treatment and when I say all the nurses and doctors from the young gentleman who triaged us were SO KIND And took us in immediately! Started treating our Dumpling right in front of us and kept us informed the entire time of what was happening. They pulled up chairs for us to sit with her in the trauma area while they worked on her and All the nurses were so attentive of her, monitoring her tremors while the doctor was figuring out a treatment plan. She needed to spend the night to get her medication and be monitored for symptoms and the care and services were unmatched! We got lucky and was able to bring our baby home the next day and she has fully recovered! We will forever be grateful for the WONDERFUL team at VEG ER in Willow Grove!

I don't remember my vet's name. Sorry! However, she was amazing! She listened and understood and validated my concerns. Based on Dexter's current treatment of antibiotics and his response to treatment, she thought of a more comprehensive way of treating and addressing it. She included me in the decision making process. Before finalizing a treatment plan, she wanted to think about the coarse of action. Her decision was spot on for Dexter. Within two-days, Dexter began eating again, after not eating for OVER a week. He had less discharge from his nose and his activity level improved drastically. The antibiotics and steroids are working. My Dexter has returned. Her approach to treatment was unconventional compared to what I would have received if I had gone back to Angell's. I truly feel that her approach saved his life. Thank you so much! I will totally recommend VEG to others.

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.

My dog was in a total crisis and he almost didn’t make it. I was afraid that I’d have to let him go and tell my children that he passed while they were in school. The Veggies did not give up on him and the turned him around and got him healthy and fit to come home to us. Not only were they attentive and professional, but they were patient and empathetic to our situation. I am truly grateful to have found this team and should we have another emergency, we know exactly who to go to for help

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!

June 25, 2026 THANK YOU VETERINARY EMERGENCY GROUP COSTA MESA We were referred to VEG Costa Mesa during a difficult time when we needed an emergency veterinary hospital that would allow us to stay with our beloved Mini Australian Shepherd, Lacey, during her end-of-life care.We arrived about 1:30 a.m. on June 9 and were immediately greeted by Dr. Nikki Smith and her compassionate ER staff. They took the necessary steps to ensure Lacey’s peaceful passing. We were then able to spend as much time as we needed in a quiet room with Lacey wrapped in a blanket in our arms, giving her our final love and goodbyes. Dr. Nikki Smith and the entire staff were incredibly caring, understanding, and compassionate throughout the entire process. We decided to have Lacey privately cremated. VEG handled the arrangements, and a few days later, we returned to the ER facility to receive a beautiful cedar box engraved with her name. They also provided us with a paw print cast in ceramic and enclosed some of her feathers as a keepsake. The entire experience was nothing short of benevolent. We are so grateful that we found VEG Costa Mesa in our time of need. It was the smaller ER for pets that provided us with the compassionate care and personalized experience that we were looking for. We highly recommend them! With heartfelt thanks, Marc & Ann I

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!

This morning I brought my 2 year old cat in who vomited reddish watery liquid. I lost a cat suddenly when he was 2 years old in 2021 so this was a tough trip to make. The staff was amazing!! So kind and made me laugh a few times. Dr. Beckman was prompt, thorough and validated all my concerns. Even through my cat getting fluids and medication, not happy and let the techs know it too! 🤣 They all remained so calm and sweet to my little one. I hope I don't need to go back ever again but they will certainly be the place I do go if needed in the future. Thank you all SO SO much!!! Keep up the incredible work. Rue sends her love 🤣🐈‍⬛❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank the team at VEG ER for Pets enough for the incredible care they gave my dog during such a frightening time. From the moment we walked in, everyone treated us with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Dr. Anghel was outstanding—thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Nurse Samantha was so caring and attentive, making both my dog and me feel comfortable. Cat, the assistant, was gentle and compassionate, and Brittany made the entire process smooth and welcoming. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make sure my dog received the best possible care. They truly treated her as if she were their own. During a stressful emergency, they gave us peace of mind, and I will always be grateful for their dedication and kindness. Thank you, Dr. Anghel, Samantha, Cat, and Brittany, for your exceptional care. I highly recommend VEG ER for Pets to anyone who wants a team that genuinely cares about both pets and their families.

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!

This isn’t our first visit to VEG, and I’m sure it won’t be our last—pet emergencies have a way of striking when you least expect them. It’s an enormous comfort knowing their team of wonderful, strong (mostly) women 💪 are there whenever we need them. I’m especially grateful they allowed me to stay by my pet’s side throughout treatment and included me in her care. No one knows a pet better than their owner, and that partnership made all the difference in her comfort and recovery. The staff answered every question with patience and kindness throughout our stay. Carla, our nurse, was gentle and attentive with our girl in a way that meant more than words can express. Dr. Croel was thorough, direct, and honest with us every step of the way. The facility itself is spotless, and the staff clearly prioritize patient care in everything they do. As much as we hope to never need an emergency vet, we’re deeply grateful VEG is there when we do. Maya and her family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I brought my three year-old Boston terrier to this ER vet at 11 PM in the evening Friday and they could not have been nicer more attentive and kind in such a very delicate traumatic experience that my Boston terrier, Atticus and I experienced. I found my terrier on the ground in the kitchen having a severe seizure that lasted 14 minutes. He continued to have seizures all evening and that’s when I decided to have him hospitalized the three women physicians were amazing. The team of techs on Friday night were beyond helpful and sweet and loving towards my Boston terrier. I will always recommend this place to my friends that love their pets and want to have the best care ever!!

We brought our cat Felix in for a bad FLUTD flare. The staff tended to him immediately to check for a blockage and gave excellent care throughout. I really appreciated being able to stay with Felix the whole time, including during the ultrasound. One of the staff even stayed with Felix in the exam room while I took a bathroom break (that was extremely sweet, thank you). The veterinarian talked to me for over 10 minutes to make sure I understood the treatment plan and the vet tech did the same. I will definitely keep VEG in mind for the future.

My dog was 13:year old female rough collie that started to decline in health as soon as she turned 13. She had been under care of my regular vet. Well on July 4th she started to have this weird whine bark; she had a similar behavior the night before but settled down. She seemed like she was anxious; so I tried to find out who could see her. I called the VEG in Leesburg and they told me to bring her in. ...I had told them over the phone I had decided it was time - she wasn't eating, could barely walk etc. I arrived; they came out to get her from my car and was already triaging her I had one person give me a glass of water while they were treating her ...they made sure I was comfortable while attending to my dog. The vet ran blood work and did a CT scan to confirm she didn't have anything wrong in her abdomen. They were also working on getting her temperature down but said it wasn't heat stroke. We decided the right decision was to let her go and the vet agreed. They took us to another room; the vet compassionately and caring let her go. She explained to me the process. The whole staff was compassionate and caring from the moment we came in to my dog's euthanasia. Today I got a card from them

Mel, Elly, and Marianne were world-class. Such an incredible, caring, and personable team. This is hands down the best vet service I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was completely locked in and genuinely cared about my cat. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. They were super responsive, compassionate, and always one step ahead. I truly appreciate their care and heart. By the end, they felt like they were my cousins lol. If every vet operated like this, the world would be a better place.

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.

My experience at VEG ER was one in a million! Everything and everyone was absolutely amazing. The care My baby received was beyond any expectations I had. The open concept is amazing. It also helps to see how they care for other patients. It helps you relax and reassures you that your pet will receive the same treatment. I believe Chloe recovered faster because I was able to stay with her. She was admitted for 2 days. I will recommend this emergency vet hospital to everyone who asks me. As far as pricing, im not sure what the going rate is for this kind of service but I don't regret having to pay it. I was able to use care credit to pay it.

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!

This place exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. I left feeling assured and my little buddy is feeling better. I loved that I could call and speak with a vet and get advice before coming in too, super helpful. The reception, tech and nursing team were very personable and helpful. Dr. Prevallet, was very thorough and simple in explaining her diagnosis and treatment plan. Hopefully I won't have to but I will be back to this location if the need ever arises.

VEG was absolutely amazing and incredibly compassionate during one of the hardest moments I've experienced. My dog had been hit by a car, and I was completely overwhelmed, but the entire team helped me through the process with so much care and kindness. The nurse who cared for us was exceptional. She was comforting, patient, understanding, and incredibly gentle with both my dog and my emotions. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answered every question I had in a way that made me feel informed and supported. I wish I had gotten her name because she truly made such a difficult experience a little easier. I hope I never have another emergency, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to VEG. They have an outstanding team, and I'm so grateful for the compassion and care they showed us when we needed it most. Gilbert and I left with a smile!

We came to VEG pet hospital and it was amazing! Not only did we get seen right away but they were so fast, kind and unbelievably fantastic. This clinic took less than 2 hours to get the exam and X-rays. They made sure the dog was comfortable the whole time and communicated with us about everything. I was very pleased with this place after the nightmare I had to deal with. After 9+ hours and a long night at a terrible pet clinic, who ended up not helping us at all, VEG did everything and more! I would come here for any pet emergencies now. Totally worth the drive.

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! 💓🐶

I cannot say enough good things about this emergency animal hospital and the incredible team that cared for my cat, LunaTic. When I brought her in, she was extremely ill—lethargic, running a high fever, and honestly fighting for her life. I'm convinced that if I had waited any longer, she would not have survived. From the moment I arrived, the compassion and professionalism of the staff were evident. The veterinarian and two assistants actually met me at the door and immediately began assessing LunaTic. They listened carefully as I explained her symptoms and history, then quickly outlined their diagnostic plan and provided a clear estimate of charges before proceeding. Once treatment began, they moved swiftly and thoroughly, performing lab work, X-rays, an ultrasound, and a urinalysis. After reviewing the results, the veterinarian carefully explained my options and helped me make an informed decision about LunaTic's care. What truly set this hospital apart was not only the exceptional care they provided to my cat, but also the kindness they showed me. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process and even offered me a bed and blankets if I wanted to stay overnight while LunaTic was hospitalized. During her X-rays and ultrasound, they allowed me to stay by her side to help keep her calm and comfortable. I chose to go home and rest because I knew she was in excellent hands. Throughout the night, the veterinarian called regularly with updates on her condition. As LunaTic improved, they kept me informed every step of the way until she was ready to come home. At discharge, they thoroughly reviewed all of her medications and explained exactly how to administer them. The facility itself is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and welcoming—even offering snacks for clients. I am beyond grateful for everything this team did to save LunaTic's life. She is doing so much better now, and while she's appreciative too, she has her own funny way of showing it! I highly recommend this emergency animal hospital to anyone facing a pet emergency. Their skill, compassion, communication, and dedication are truly outstanding.

My kitty Zedd was having trouble breathing and we were really worried about him and couldn’t get him in anywhere else so we decided to take him over to VEG to get him some help. The entire experience was absolutely amazing. They got him in as soon as we walked in the door and they got him on Oxygen ASAP and ran through their check up. The vets were incredibly transparent through the entire process and they did not go crazy charging extra money on anything. I really appreciate the extra special care they took and I was right by his side throughout the entire process. I’m so happy we decided to rush him here rather than taking him to the normal vet and potentially having to wait while his breathing got worse. We learned that he has asthma and they went through all the steps with me on how to take care of our baby and make sure he was back to feeling better and breathing easier. Not only could I see the quality care they were giving to my kitty but also all the other animals at the clinic. Highly recommend VEG to anyone else who needs emergency care for their pet and knowing good well that they will do a spectacular job! Thank you so much for making our boy feel more like himself again! :)

Upon arrival, you’re greeted by a friendly receptionist, the facility is large and clean. Annett took great care of my boy. She was patient, gentle and confident in what she does.

I’ve had to bring my dog to Veg ER-Princeton twice now, and both experiences were outstanding. The first visit was for an eye infection, and the second was for a leg injury. Both times, we were seen almost immediately, and every member of the staff was incredibly kind, compassionate, and welcoming. What really stood out to me was how they cared for my anxious rescue dog. Instead of taking her to an exam table right away, they performed the exam and treatments on the floor, allowing her to stay relaxed. While we waited, she was able to sit comfortably on the couch and look out the window, which kept her calm. On top of the excellent care, I was pleasantly surprised that both visits were very reasonably priced. I highly recommend VEG to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality emergency veterinary care.

Our loved dog Chance was 19 years old. He had liver and heart disease along with sundowners and arthritis. He woke up one morning in distress and pain. We quickly took him to VEG. They were so knowledgeable and offered different options. We chose to take him home snd make him comfortable with some pain meds. The next day he seemed to be doing worse so we called VEG and brought him in for euthanasia. It was a very difficult and heart wrenching decision. We were treated with kindness! We had a comfortable room where we could sit on the floor with Chance. We spent time with him and loved on him. They let me hold him in my arms when they administered the medication. Chance had his head on my chest, looking in my eyes with my husband’s hand on him when he passed. It was done in such a peaceful way. The staff didn’t rush us. They let us spend quality time with Chance. I just can’t say enough how the staff helped us get through this and made Chance a priority both times we were there. This place is the best.

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! 🐾❤️

I can’t recommend these guys enough. Ive unfortunately been twice now (my dog is a menace, but we love her!) The first time we were treated by Dr. Lingen & Paige as our RN. My dog got a bone stuck around her jaw, lesson learned for me, we are now a no bone house. The second time my dog started limping- turned out it was her patella. At this time we were treated by Dr. Patel & Angie as our RN. Tatiana gave excellent customer service running around to everyone checking in offering my dog toys & the families waiting snacks/drinks. When we came the second time Paige was there again & she had remembered us from the time before. (Not a big deal, but was nice.) Both times we were in and out fairly quickly. The staff was beyond compassionate and thorough. Neither of these times were life or death but they were able to help. I do want to say I was impressed to see a facility with such a great team. Not just for us but for everyone being treated and amongst the staff. The second time there happened to be a dog aggressive dog being treated and another dog/people aggressive dog. They did everything to respect those dogs needs & the safety of others. Also they offer payment plans, which is wonderful. I highly recommend.

My dog Pico was sick for 3 days this week. We went in for a visit on Monday and were released to go home for outpatient care; when Pico didn’t improve, we came back on Tuesday and stayed for two nights. Even though my dog was sick and it was a stressful situation, my time at VEG ER was a fantastic experience from start to finish. There’s nothing I would change because it was perfect. The VEG staff is amazing and I admire their dedication to patients and animals. My husband also brought our dog Jack here in February (I was out of town for the day and was unfortunately unable to be there). Jack sadly had to be euthanized, but the care that we received during that visit and after the visit was remarkable and generous. I wish I got everyone’s names to compliment them all personally! Dr. Brough, Dr. Smith and Dr. Nacke-Horney were all fantastic and thorough. Patty and Jenna were warm and welcoming. All of the other vet techs were great and quick to help. I really appreciate everyone helping Pico and dealing with his GI issues. I know it required a lot of cleaning.

Very satisfied with my cat emergency visit yesterday. My cat was panting and since he is of Persian breed, it was taken very seriously which eased my anxiety. My boy’s vitals were taken immediately and he was put into oxygen right away. I could see my cat in the oxygen tank the whole time and he was already looking so much better just after a few minutes. The vet techs, doctor, and receptionists were so helpful in the whole process. We were constantly getting updates on my baby boy and everything was explained thoroughly. We were always attended to which is huge because so many pet ERs would put you in a room with your pet and you could be forgotten about for hours. This was not the case at VEG! So grateful for this location, the staff, and all their kind and compassionate care. Thank you VEG and Dr. Mir and all the staff working on Sunday morning! Blessings upon blessings to all of you!

It has taken me a little bit to write this. This emergency vet, they are kind, compassionate, and empathetic... I am grateful for them and their staff. We live in Casa Grande, there is no ER vet.. VEG was the closest at just over an hr away (due to traffic at the time on the I-10). I called to tell them we were coming with our 91lb German Shepherd who collapsed, had very pale gums and was drooling profusely. They told me to let them know when we arrived and they would come out and carry her in. They did just that. Immediately asked if we wanted resuscitation since she had stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Said "please know it's not all about money, but I do need to make you aware of the fee for resuscitation" I truly felt it wasn't about money, but they had to let us know.. kept coming to us to give us updates, asked if we needed anything, gave real but compassionate possible outcomes. Eventually found she had fluid in her chest cavity due to a ruptured tumor on her spleen that we were unaware she had. They were so kind, so apologetic.. not one word from their staff sounded insincere. Though our baby girl didn't make it, I saw for myself how much this staff cares. I couldn't have asked for more, except that there was one closer to us. Thank you all for trying to save Senshii, she was loved so very much and thank you for your kindness in every aspect of our visit.

Ms. Hauser, I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank you for everything you did for Zoey and me last night. 🖤 You met me during a moment when I was completely overwhelmed, emotional, scared, and honestly just exhausted. You didn’t just take care of Zoey—you showed so much kindness and compassion toward me too. You saw that I was going through it, and instead of making an already stressful situation harder, you made me feel heard, understood, and reassured. The fact that you were so amazing with Zoey and were kind enough not to charge me meant more to me than you probably realize. It wasn’t simply about the money; it was the compassion behind it. In a moment when I felt like everything was becoming too much, your kindness gave me a little bit of relief when I desperately needed it. Thank you for treating Zoey with such care and for treating me like a person who needed a little extra grace that night. I’ll genuinely never forget it. People like you remind me that there are still incredibly kind people in this world. Thank you again, Ms. Hauser, from both Zoey and me. 🐾🖤
