I am forever grateful to the entire team at VEG for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care they showed our beloved kitty, Bella. We first came to VEG because Bella wasn't doing well, and our veterinarian suspected there might be something wrong with her spleen. Dr. Gabriela Reyes was the attending veterinarian that day. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what she believed Bella might be facing and treated Bella with such genuine care. An ultrasound was performed, and we returned home hoping for the best while waiting for the results. Later that same night, Bella suddenly began gasping for air and could no longer move. We rushed her back to VEG immediately. By then, the ultrasound report had come back and confirmed our worst fear: Bella had a very aggressive cancerous tumor in her spleen, and surgery was no longer an option. As heartbreaking as it was, our family made the difficult decision to let Bella go peacefully so she would no longer suffer. Dr. Gabriela Reyes showed us extraordinary compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She gave us the time we needed, answered our questions with honesty and empathy, and helped make an impossible decision just a little more bearable. I will never forget her kindness. The entire VEG staff was equally amazing. Every person we encountered treated Bella—and our family—with such dignity, warmth, and respect. They made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be. While we wish the outcome had been different, I am deeply thankful that we found VEG. Thank you for caring for Bella with such love and for helping our family say goodbye with compassion. Bella will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget the kindness your entire team showed us during her final moments.

My two doggies got into some human medication and we needed to have them looked at asap. After speaking with ASPCA poison control, we took them over to VEG on Ralph Avenue. We were greeted by friendly staff when we came in . This was very consoling for me. After weigh in they took us into a room . I gave all the pertinent information I'd written down with the poison control number. This helped with check in process. We were there for a few hours. Dr Anderson went over a couple of options and she gave honest opinion of which course of action to take. We went with that route. It's the next day and my two doggies are 100% their normal self and getting into things.

I have been to many veterinary clinics/hospital in my life but Veg Care was incredibly amazing from the start to finish with our little Rose and her tummy issue. Jamie was amazing how she communicated with Rose throughout her care and made her feel comfortable. You can tell animals are her passion. Also Celia was wonderful. And then there is Dr. Ortiz. She was incredible giving us advice and treating Rose. She had so many animals to care for and I watched how she went to each so attentively. I highly recommend Veg when caring for your pet when needed. They are incredible! Much love to them and thanks you!! ❤️ Bless you all! 😊

Our dog needed care for an infected, newly discovered wound late Saturday night. We were greeted by kind staff who directed us to an open bay with a comfortable place for me to sit and a dog bed for my pet. I wasn’t used to the open vet setting where we could hear most conversations with owners there and see most interactions. But it was comforting to know other worried pets & parents were treated so well. I was informed of everything about my dog’s condition and given time to ask questions. An estimate was texted to me. I didn’t have to leave my dog when he was taken to a procedure table in center of the facility and in view of all. He was given adequate sedation during the procedure and sent home with pain meds snd antibiotics. I regret I can’t recall names of the 2 kind, knowledgeable vets working with us. But the awesome staff were Gabbie and Nancy. I have a healing broken bone and Nancy even got my dog in the car for me. Hopefully we never need another emergency vet visit- but if we do, we will definitely come to VET.

We walked in and were assigned a room to get assessed right away. The intake desk and nurses did a check up on our pet bunny who had an upset stomach. The doctor nurses and staff were attentive to Louie, and explained every bit of the process with us. We were there for a few hours, but that's what to expect from any ER. They had water and some snack for us while we waited for his X-rays and diagnostics to come back. We are grateful for the attentiveness of the doctor and her entire staff for our bunny's recover from his belly. I can't thank you enough for his care. If you have a pet .. this is the ER to go to.

VEG IS WHAT PETS AND PET OWNERS DESERVE! My previous experiences in the ER with my dog were traumatic. The first thing they did was charge me for the visit, only to leave me waiting. I felt judged for not having enough money for their overpriced procedures. They had me waiting, took my dog away from me, and returned her sedated and shaved. After 5 hours, we left without a diagnosis, having overspent and found no solution. VEG was different. As soon as we arrived, they let us in with our dog. They checked her and asked about her symptoms. Quickly, Dr. Petrice gave us a care plan, always respecting our choices and financial possibilities. They performed the procedures where my dog was comfortable, allowing us to comfort her during the blood tests and ultrasound. For that reason, neither restraint nor sedation was needed. In the end, they offered us options for our dog's care and showed compassion, again without judgment. The prices were very reasonable considering my previous experiences. I feel blessed for finding this place where I can help my dog without feeling like I am being taken advantage of, and where staff show care and kindness to my pet. But mostly, where I could find answers and solutions. I definitely will choose VEG if needed again, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Absolutely massive shoutout post to VEG and their staff. Blown away at the level of care I received by the team there. I brought in my baby ball python that had a cloacal prolapse. This is the first time I’ve dealt with it, so I was terrified, and there were no exotic vets with availability. I was hesitant to bring him here, since I was doubting the level of experience they had with reptiles, and would’ve rather have brought him to a specialty clinic. But I am so glad I brought him here. Dr. DeZara was not only extremely knowledgeable and confident, but she even brought in a specialist to assist with the anesthesia (thank you Fortune for coming in and helping out.) He was handled with so much love and care, I am so extremely grateful. The techs and nurses were all so accommodating, they put him in a heating tank and put rick and Morty on an iPad for him. That blew my mind? I don’t think I’ve been to a vet that’s thought to put TV on for an animal (even though I’m sure he probably couldn’t have cared less, the thought of it made my heart want to burst). They did everything to ensure his comfort and handling through what was a very stressful time for him. They fixed and stitched him up, and then sent us on our way. He’s now recovering, with a follow up in 2 weeks at a hospital they referred me to. They took pictures and sent them to me, hopefully the one I’m including isn’t too graphic. Feeling very very grateful today.

Update: More than a week later, he is still doing amazing! He’s back to parkoring with his siblings at 3 am, yelling at us so he can go sunbathe and eating like a horse. THANK YOU AGAIN!! 😭 I cannot put into words how grateful I am for VEG Alpharetta. Last week, our cat Guy Diamond, who is only 2 years old and whom we’ve had since he was about a week old, became extremely sick. What we thought was a stomach issue quickly turned into every pet parent’s worst nightmare. After bloodwork at our regular vet showed he was critical, we were rushed to VEG because they were the only nearby hospital with the medications and level of care he needed. The moment we walked through the doors, they already knew who Guy was. They immediately took him back and started working on him while keeping us informed every step of the way. Within hours, we learned that he had developed a severe kidney infection that had progressed into sepsis. His blood pressure was around 40/20, his kidneys were reaching their limit, and he had virtually no white blood cells. We were told his chances of survival were very low. I was an absolute emotional wreck. What stood out to me wasn’t just the medical care—it was the compassion. The doctor sat on the floor with my 5-year-old daughter and me and walked us through every option with so much patience, honesty, and empathy. They never pressured us. They simply helped us understand what Guy was facing and supported us through impossible decisions. When they told us that euthanasia would be a completely understandable choice given how sick he was, I looked at my daughter and knew I wasn’t ready to give up on him. This cat is her best friend. He’s family. So I gave them my budget and asked them to do everything they could to save him. The team at VEG did something I’ll never forget. They made my daughter and me a bed so we could stay overnight with him. If you ever have the opportunity to stay with your pet during a hospitalization, do it. Throughout that night, I watched these doctors and nurses pour their hearts into every animal that came through those doors. I saw heartbreak. I saw families saying goodbye. I saw pets fighting for their lives. And I saw a veterinary team that never stopped caring, no matter how exhausted they were. It completely changed my perspective on veterinary medicine and why emergency care costs what it does. They do so much more than people realize. I stayed awake with Guy until almost 5 a.m., praying harder than I think I’ve ever prayed in my life. Then the miracle started happening. His blood pressure began improving. His fever started coming down. And then we got the news that made me completely lose it, he was finally making white blood cells again 😭 They even showed them to us on the screen. I cried like a baby. After seeing so many heartbreaking cases come through that hospital, I wanted them to have a win. I wanted my daughter to keep her best buddy. I wanted our little boy to beat the odds. And somehow, he did. He wasn’t out of the woods yet. There was still edema around both kidneys, and we still had a lot to worry about. But every update got a little better. Every hour he fought harder. Less than 24 hours after we were told his chances of survival were slim, Guy came home. Today, just a few days later, he’s eating, drinking, using the litter box, demanding attention, and acting like the same goofy cat we’ve always known. Watching him curled up on the couch again feels like a gift I wasn’t sure we’d get. To every doctor, nurse, technician, and staff member at VEG Alpharetta: thank you. Thank you for treating Guy like he mattered. Thank you for treating us like family. Thank you for your honesty, your compassion, your skill, and your willingness to fight for him when things looked hopeless. Because of you, my kids still has their best friend. And because of you, we still have our Guy Diamond.❤️

I first brought my toy poodle Milo here back in April and they were so helpful and friendly. I brought him back yesterday and they were very understanding and accommodating. My biggest problem with most vets is not feeling understood and not being able to be with my dog for his care, but VEG allows you to be with your pet the entire process and they are very attentive. For my visit yesterday my dog was seen by Dr. Tool and she is phenomenal. VEG is truly the best of the best.

To the AMAZING staff that helped me, my husband, and our baby boy on Christmas morning, THANK YOU for doing everything you could, under stressful circumstances, on Christmas Day, to help my reactive and aggressive dog, Hurley, safely get tinsel out of his stomach. It has taken me so long to write a proper thank you because shortly after this incident, we had to euthanize our boy. I am still actively grieving, but I want you to know how much you are appreciated, especially under the extreme stress we and our dog were under. You all risked yourselves to help my dog without hesitation. He snapped over and over at the air, wanted to get as far as he could from you sweet people as possible, and you still tried your best to instruct me to help as his trusted person, get a cone on, give him dose after dose to vomit the tinsel - and it worked. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking care of us and our boy that morning. Upon returning home from RI, we had to say goodbye to our boy due to his aggression soon after. This was one of the last awful memories for us and stressful events for him after years of trying to help him, manage triggers, medications, and consulting with experts to keep him happy and everyone safe. He was at his lowest seeing you all, and you showed him and us grace that made it just a little easier, and that meant so much. People are often quick to blame, not understand, or lack empathy - but not your team. Thank you a million times over for your quick action, thoughtful consideration in reducing the stress and any procedures for Hurley, and for your compassion for animals and people alike. I will never forget that day for more than one reason, the second being how you responded with huge hearts. Thank you, you all are actual angels on earth.

I brought my senior cat Sylvester in for a vet visit. He's 20yrs old, and I felt the quality of his life was declining. They explained to me what I was feeling was real, and they were happy I brought him in. Even though he was my friend, he was suffering. They advised that it was best to think of his quality of life. I put him down that day, it was the hardest thing I have ever done, I just couldn't fathom having him suffer any longer. The staff here was very patient, sat with me, hugged me, and were super empathic. They explained everything and I felt they really saw how much he meant to me. I have never been to a vet that took that kinda time and patience with me, they were honest, and made me feel he was safe. I left there upset over my best friend, but also happy on how well we were taken care of. I cant imagine what these folks go through on a day to day. I take my hat off to you for such an amazing experience. I will absolutely refer anyone looking for a vet to come here. These are professionals that are real people that actually care about you and your best friend. I cant even explain how much I truly apricated all these folks did for me. I came back a week later on the 1 week mark of his passing, and brought them donuts and flowers, thanking them for there kind words and compassion. These folks have a real special place in my heart.

The team was very friendly and welcoming, I really like Stephanie’s personality and charisma

Wow! what a facility. Nothing fancy but efficient. The staff is fabulous! They made me feel at such ease when my bird was attacked by a cat. The doctor and vet assistant were so caring and knew their stuff. Nothing reassures a parent more.I travelled all the way from Clarksville, and would do it again in a heart beat. I'm happy to say Pippy is doing well and resting. Her Hubby said to tell you THANK YOU! C.Mason :)

I can't say enough about the care we received at this emergency vet. When my almost 3-year-old fur baby, Tobi, swallowed what looked like a crocheted sock on our walk, I was beyond scared. I couldn't find any emergency vets nearby in Chino Hills, but I was so fortunate to find this place. From the very first call, they treated me and Tobi like family. I was able to be right there with him every step of the way. No separation, just inclusion. They let me witness everything, from inducing vomiting to the X-rays, and they were so confident and calm, which helped me stay calm too. Ultimately the object was too big and needed an endoscopy with claw thing to remove which had me SHAKINGGG. They explained every single step, even when I didn't fully understand, and I felt so included, like we were part of their family. They were not just attentive to Tobi, but also to me, meeting both our needs and keeping me as calm as possible. Thank you to everyone--Bri, Elle, Sebastian, and Dr. Wickham, you made us feel so seen and loved. If you're looking for a vet who treats your pet and you like family, this is the place. Thank you all so much! I can't thank you guys enough!

Our old boy Squatty lived a long, but hard life. He happily shared his last three years with us with such love and loyalty. Saying goodbye to him was hard, but the kind and caring staff were with us through it all. They involved us in every step taken in Squatty’s comfort and passing. The team at VEG ER are beyond amazing! They truly love their work and truly care for our pet-kiddos. Thank you so much for your help in such a trying time. We left there feeling lifted by compassion and the peacefulness of our boy. 🐕💙 Godspeed, Squatty!

Greatest staff ever! Had to bring my beautiful babygirl and they were so accommodating, sweet, and informative. My GSP has a bit of anxiety and everyone was so patient with her. Thank you so much to everyone for the amazing care!

I can’t thank the staff at Veg enough for their compassion, tireless work, and unwavering dedication to their patients. During an extremely busy day, Dr. Cameron, Dr. Wells, and Dr. Thomas did everything they possibly could for our sweet Betty. They communicated Betty’s prognosis to us in a clear manner and were honest and kind at every turn. Every single staff member had her best interest and comfort in mind and helped keep me grounded. Our technicians Caitlin, Melissa, Danielle, and everyone involved in triaging her as a stat patient worked together to make sure she received the best care as quickly as possible. Raven and Jackie at the front desk checked on us frequently and never made us feel rushed about billing during this extremely difficult time and did everything to make us feel comfortable given the circumstances. During this time, the staff did a tremendous job with not only providing incredible care for our sweet girl but every single patient that walked through the door. Again I want to thank every single person on staff who helped our sweet Betty find peace, especially Dr. Thomas for giving her every chance possible and helping us say goodbye. The compassion we felt at Veg brought me to tears. I don’t think I have the words to truly express my gratitude to each of you but please know that your kind words and support aren’t something I’ll ever forget. On behalf of our little stinky lady, thank you so much.

I can't thank y'all enough for everything you did for her. From the moment we walked in, you treated her with so much care, compassion, and kindness. Not only did you take amazing care of her, but working with us on the bill meant more than words can explain during such a stressful and emotional time. You truly have hearts of gold, and I will never forget the love and support you showed our family. Thank you for helping us when we needed it most and for treating her like she mattered. We are beyond grateful for every single one of you. They immediately saw her and loved pixie so much. They have a heart of Gold 🥺♥️

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!

I don't think I could really put into words how much I truly appreciate VEG. I've been to the VEG location in Leesburg 3 times and each time I've been blown away each time. The first experience was a sad one but not because of VEG, our 16 year old cat was having seizures and Dr Reiss and her team were there in a heartbeat. They did absolutely everything they could to save her but unfortunately she didn't make it but their compassion and support through it all was so comforting. My second visit, our sweet 9 week old puppy, Tucker, got puppy strangles - Urgent care couldn't figure out what was wrong with him but within a few minutes of stepping into VEG I felt supported when Dr Anderson and her team made sure that he was triaged immediately and tests were run. She knew immediately what she was looking at and that made me breathe a sigh of relief especially that we caught it in time and it was curable. I felt so comfortable leaving him overnight, I got a call before bed and first thing in the morning, I was able to bring my boy home early the next day and the treatments have made him a brand new dog! He's very happy and healthy! My last visit was a few days ago and it was the most heartwarming and supportive experience of all. My sweet baby cat, Ryder, had to come in due to a fever that started at 104 and then spiked to 106, with no known origin of where it was coming from which terrified me to no end. The support I felt from the staff - Vincient, Sonya, Madison, Lily, Kaitlyn, Kelly, and Aaron just to name a few made me feel like I was with family. I was able to stay the night and they went out of their way to set up a bed for me in the room I was staying in so that I could stay with my boy. They made sure I had snacks and drinks so I was taking care of myself too. Dr O'Brien, Dr Mollano, and Dr Reiss - Thank you for saving him, for working to figure out the best approach, not making me feel crazy for any of my questions or suggestions, just all around making me feel like we were a team and he wasn't just another cat. I feel like thank you isn't enough but I really couldn't fully express how grateful I am for you. There is no one else I'd trust my animals with, VEG is an extremely special place with an extraordinary staff and the best doctors. Thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart.
