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.

Brought my dog to VEG after ingesting her toy. Dr Blohm was wonderful and kind. Walked me through her plan to make her vomit so it wouldn’t cause a blockage. Major success! My dog is happy and ready to eat her next foreign body. 10/10 recommend

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!!

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 🙏

Veg ER Georgetown is amazing! The staff is caring, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I called the facility on a Saturday evening after midnight when my 8 year old Cocker Spaniel ate an entire block of cheddar cheese with caramelized onions! I was so worried and upset and didn't know what to do. When I called the Georgetown ER the receptionist was so kind and calmed me down. He told me not to worry and he immediately got the Dr. on the phone. The Dr. listened attentively and took the time to explain the best protocol for my dog. She asked me for the name of the cheese that my dog had eaten and quickly researched the ingredients and the amount of onion content per block of cheese. Luckily, the % of onion in the cheese was not in the danger zone for poisoning a 44lb. dog. I was utterly relieved and thankful for the help of the Dr. I wish I could remember her name, but unfortunately I was so distressed I forgot to write it down. Without asking for any compensation she took the time to genuinely help me and put my mind at ease. Thank you VEG ER Georgetown you are wonderful human beings!! My dog is feeling much better and thanks you as well!!

Amazing, kind, knowledgable, and helpful. I have needed VEG twice in the past few years and I would recommend them to anyone having an emergency with their fur babies. I appreciate that you can stay there with your pet the entire time, through all their tests and care, and I was so pleasantly surprised that I could stay overnight with my babies so that they wouldn't have to be alone. I got to sleep next to my kitty who developed cancer on his last few days, which means the world to me, we brought him home to say goodbye with the help of Lap of Love, who I would also highly reccomend. My other visit was with my cat who suffered an acute kidney injury after going under anesthesia for a routine dental cleaning, he has severe anxiety and I know being able to sleep with me was good for him. He fortunately has completely recovered! When my wife and I were there with him during his treatment for his acute kidney injury they also let us bring our fully vaccinated puppy to stay with us in the room as we couldn't find someone to babysit her for the whole time we were there which was a huge help. You never want to need VEG, but I am so comforted to know that they are there if I do. I appreciate y'all so much. You work so hard and really go above and beyond for your patients and their families. Thank you. ❤️

Everyone was excellent! Dr Juan was very knowledgeable and honest, and he collaborated with me to make sure that I was updated with what was going on and that I got everything done that I wanted to for my pet. The receptionist was super kind and attentive in making sure we were comfortable, checking in with us and bringing us snacks and drinks while we waited. All the nurses that worked with my pet were very empathetic and gentle with her to make sure that she was comfortable and getting the best care possible. I didn't have to wait at all to be brought back to the treatment area - they got started on her right away. My pet is a cat so we waited with her in an enclosed room to the side of the treatment area where she was more comfortable away from the dogs and able to walk about the room freely. We could still see through the blinds though what was going on in the hospital with the other pets that were there being helped and were given the opportunity to come to the treatment area to watch her being cared for.

My parents took their chihuahua Finn in last night for an ear infection. They were very happy with Dr. Lee and Briana. Excellent care with no waiting. Our extended family has five dogs and two cats so we have been to a lot of vets. We like the setup that allows you to be with your pet the whole time and we will definitely go back next time we need good care.

I am so, so thankful VEG opened here. We brought in our dog Sophie after she had quite a large, open laceration on her leg. She is a very anxious dog at the vet but everyone (and I mean everyone!) at VEG tried to make her feel welcome and comfortable. They knew exactly how to approach my dog and get her trust within minutes. I especially loved that we could be with Sophie the whole time-- this meant we could tell the doctors, nurses, and techs all the little things to help make Sophie's visit smoother and it worked so well. I don't think Sophie's injury was the easiest one to close but I felt like Dr Rivera-Ramirez and Dr Pham did an excellent job given the circumstances and risks of a high movement area. There was so much care and expertise in their work. Overall, taking my dog to VEG was the best decision we could have made for her. Even though I wish my dog was not injured, they did everything to help her heal and make her feel comfortable. We'll be back if needed and I'm really just so thankful for the team here. You all are the best and made a very stressful night so much more manageable ❤️

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG. They truly hold a special place in my heart. In March 2024, the incredible team at VEG helped save my golden retriever, Ruger, and I will never forget the compassion, expertise, and care they showed during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. More recently, the St. Petersburg location was equally amazing when Ruger needed treatment for a severe ear infection. A special thank you to Kevin, who was outstanding from the moment we checked in and continued to provide exceptional care throughout our visit. Every member of the staff made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. As pet parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. VEG consistently goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. If you ever find yourself facing a pet emergency, there is nowhere else I would recommend. VEG is simply the best!

Let me tell you guys, this place is a blessing. I came out of a double, extremely exhausted, I come home to pet my baby and I feel a bald patch. I was scared, he’s my first pet and as tired as I was I drove all the way to Boston praying it wasn’t anything serious. The staff here (Marcus and Nina, Dr yogo, and Casey) were so amazing. They took such amazing care of my cat, and were so kind and gentle and very understanding. I was so stressed out and I’ve been going through enough ad it is and they took that all off my shoulders. 11/10 place, best decision I’ve made coming here for my baby Future 🤍🤍🤍

Dr. Hammett took the time to communicate with us on the phone when we called with our emergency issue. The entire staff from the intake tech, nurses and Dr. Hammett were extremely professional, had great bedside manners and were very sweet with our pup. We continually received updates on our pups condition. We were released at just under 2 hours after the proper treatment. Even though VEG is a bit farther than other ER pet clinics near us , we would not hesitate to make this our go to ER clinic.

This is a difficult review for me to write but it’s something I have to write about. Our husky, Indi, was taken to this location on the evening of August 29, 2025 for what we thought was a stomach issue. Unfortunately, we found out that Indi had a cancerous cyst in her stomach that erupted and nothing could be done except make her final moments as comfortable as possible. The staff at this location made Indi and the rest of our family extremely comfortable and many of the staff gave bits of food from their own lunches to give to Indi to enjoy in her final moments. It was very touching during that difficult time. The vet that night even stayed much later past when her shift was supposed to end (I had heard two vet techs talking about when she was supposed to be off) just to be with Indi and my family. I cannot thank the staff enough for their incredible generosity and empathy and support that they showed us during one of the hardest nights of our lives. We still mourn Indi but we could not have asked for a better place in that moment at that late of an hour. The staff was incredibly helpful and caring and we can’t thank them enough. I’m so sorry that we don’t remember any of their names but the staff on duty of August 29-August 30, 2025 were amazing people and I can only imagine the rest of the staff are just as great. We can’t thank you all enough for your gentle kindness.

This place not only treated my everything, Chelsea, as VIP… they kept me feeling more than capable of handling whatever the next step or outcome was going to be. So so grateful. I want to thank all of the staff, but especially the nurses/techs that were just phenomenal; specifically Alex, Jess, and Hannah. I won’t trust my dog (or cat) with anyone other vet ER after this visit. I did not get to write down the main vet that worked my pups case, but her patience and kindness and willingness to explain everything with so much detail, turned what can easily be a nightmare of an experience into something manageable. THANK YOU ❤️‍🩹

Absolutely outstanding care! We brought our retired Military Working Dog in after a bad hit-by-car injury, and the team at VEG was phenomenal. A huge thank you to Victoria (our vet tech) and Dr. Hopper for their skill and compassion. The entire staff worked together seamlessly — it was impressive to watch. The front desk lady was also wonderful and so helpful. One tiny suggestion: name badges or quick introductions would be nice so we can personally thank everyone. VEG is truly the gold standard for emergency vet care in North Atlanta. Highly recommend!

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for the doctors and staff at VEG. My wife and daughters brought in our 13 week mini-Aussie on Sunday evening and he was in shock when they arrived. I won’t go into details but he was nearly dead due to an accidental ingestion of some type of medication. The medical team’s expertise and efficiency resulted in the very best outcome for our new family member as we were able to bring him home yesterday acting like a healthy puppy once again. The work these people do is truly amazing. It is intense and non-stop. However, to top it all off they also demonstrate such a beautiful spirit of care and compassion. Everyone was so kind to my family. God bless you all!!!

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.

We just left with our kitty Floofaroni. The staff here were so wonderful. They took great care of our kitty! I especially want to recognize Shani for being so kind. She was very attentive and sweet. She even made sure my kiddos were entertained and had snacks and drinks to keep them comfy, she truly went above and beyond. Dr. Cody was very kind and explained things very well! Thank you to everyone for taking such great care of our fur baby!

I was here last night with my pup, Yoshi from midnight til about 4am. They were able to check vitals, do blood work and provide x-rays on site. The entire staff was extremely empathetic and professional. It was impressive to see them handling the animals attentively and how you as the pet parent get to be involved in every step of the process to offer your pet love and support during treatment. The facility is very clean. Special shoutout to Iris and Mario who were especially kind and compassionate to my special boy when he was in pain.

This review is largely excluding cost, because although there were many positives about it, the overall cost of vet care is insane. I came here after driving around all morning looking for a place that had a vet available for immediate attention. The person who I spoke with at Uptown recommended this place. I had never heard of them but they were super close to everything so I went over. The whole experience from the moment I walked in was so much better than anything I have experienced in the 25 years I have been taking dogs to vets. We never had to leave our dog's side. We saw everything that was happening around and got to see them work in true worst case scenarios. They were kind, professional, attentive, and worked hard to care for every animal around. Our girl was not doing well and given my experience at other vets, I don't know if she would have made it had we taken her elsewhere. I had my kids with me all day the first day. A 4 year old and 1 year old in an open space with sick animals and lots of equipment isn't ideal. They have iPads to watch movies, snacks, the good water machine, coffee, tea, coloring books, puzzles, etc. I think the sceen time and snacks the day prior (and the stress of seeing our Pep so sick) made the behavior a little less than ideal the 2nd day so we got a private room. I probably was not in my calmest state, either, but they were all amazing and kind. My husband brought our baby home this morning. My littlest is already stomping around saying "Peppy! Peppy!! Hi Peppy! Peppy Baby!" She is home and happy and largely unaffected by the stress of the last few days. I really think she is doing so well not only because of the vet care she received, but also because of the environment at this clinic. As for the cost - like I mentioned, vet care is sooo expensive. Was it a lot of money? Yes. Worth it? Yes. It isn't like we can't pay it nor wouldn't have paid more if necessary, but it just adds up quickly. I don't have to tell anyone how expensive life is here in San Diego. HOWEVER, they honored our request to approach testing incrementally, and they even said things like, "let me look at the finances and see how far we can stretch out the hospital stay with what you have paid." You never hear stuff like that. And when I asked about tests, they were honest in that we could totally get them if we wanted, but they knew we didn't want to blindly test and they didn't think the results from other tests made it necessary. It usually is what it is and everything is done out of your sight anyways. We got out of the 2 day hospital stay and a bunch of testing and meds for a little over 6k. And the experience itself was definitely better in every way. If you have an emergency, I highly recommend VEG!
