Our family will forever be grateful to the entire VEG team for the incredible care, compassion, and support you showed us and our sweet Kato during our last two visits. While our experience was bittersweet, every member of the team we encountered made a lasting impression on us during one of the most difficult times of our lives. We even made new friends along the way, and that has been absolutely priceless! From the moment we arrived, we felt surrounded by people who genuinely cared. Each person who helped us, comforted us, and cared for Kato contributed to making an incredibly painful experience a little easier to bear. Your patience, kindness, understanding, and willingness to walk alongside us through such a heartbreaking time meant more than you will ever know. Losing a beloved pet is like losing a member of your family, and the emotions that come with saying goodbye are indescribable. We are so thankful that, during our most vulnerable moments, we were met with such tenderness, compassion, and understanding. It was evident that the entire team recognized how deeply Kato was loved and how much he meant to us, and that made all the difference. To every staff member who played a part in caring for Kato and supporting our family, THANK YOU!!! Although we wish things had turned out differently, we are incredibly thankful that we had your team beside us through it all. The kindness you extended to us is something we will always carry in our hearts. We thank God for each and every one of you! Thank you for the work you do, the hearts you serve with, and the love you show to animals and their families when they need it most. You are making a difference in ways you may never fully realize. Your compassion reaches far beyond the medical care you provide; you bring comfort, reassurance, and genuine human connection during some of life’s most heartbreaking moments. Kato will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will never forget the care, dignity, and compassion your team showed him and our family. We would also like to extend a special thank-you to Dr. David for providing such outstanding care to our sweet Kato! Dr. David is truly one of a kind! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was exactly who Kato and our family needed during one of the most heartbreaking and difficult times of our lives. There are no words to fully express how grateful my husband and I are for the care, compassion, and support he provided to Kato and to us throughout this experience. Dr. David, thank you for being such a remarkable veterinarian and, just as importantly, for being authentically YOU! Your kindness and the way you cared for our family during such a vulnerable time mean more to us than you will ever know. We are so thankful that God placed you in our path when we needed it most. To the entire VEG team and Dr. David, thank you for being a blessing to our family and for caring for our sweet boy. We will forever be grateful! 🙏🏼❤️ With gratitude, Sylvana & Scott

I genuinely don’t have enough good things to say about this ER. We’ve been in and out of this hospital for the past 4 days with our pup and every time we are met with the kindest and most empathetic staff. Dr. Wong, Dr. Forehand, and Dr. Sabat and all their team members have been an absolute pleasure to work with as we have navigated a scary autoimmune disease diagnosis. No matter how busy they are, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you and your animal are seen, heard, and taken care of. We were even offered a pull out couch with clean pillows and blankets to be able to spend the night with our sick pup. The facility has everything they need to run labs, perform scans, medicate, and even operate if needed. Rest assured that you will be in good hands if you come here. It is so reassuring to know that they are here if we ever need any emergency care for any of our pets in the future. Thank you VEG Falls Church!

Imagine you are in a full blown panic attack because your furbaby may have eaten a stuffy. I took my boy to my closest ER and I wont mention names, but I paid $185 for absolutely nothing and left in tears, shaking and almost got sick while driving. A very sweet young lady gave me the name VEG. I called and immediately spoke with a doctor regarding my dogs issue. Dr. Jones listened intently, answered all my questions ( no hard sale tactics), just genuine care. I headed their way and when I walked in, I immediately felt a sense of calm, I felt like I was at home. The whole team was incredibly sweet and so attentive to me and my doggo. They will go over every single item and suggestion bit by bit so everything is transparent and you don't feel like you are pressured to empty your wallet to save your animal. Sweetest people in the world!! I will never take my guy anywhere else if we ever have another emergency, VEG is it!! Shout out to Dr Jones, Liz, Tricia and Madison ( sorry if I forgot anyone because everyone is wonderful), thank you ladies for being angels 😇 Love Kai and his Mom 💕

All the technicians and the Dr. were extremely gentle, friendly and caring with my shy, scared cat. They did the labs right there so we could begin the necessary treatment without having to ‘endure’ another car ride in the carrier. The doctor explained the tests and treatment options well, and I was given information on what to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. The exam, treatment and explanations were not rushed and I felt all my questions were answered. I was very impressed with everyone and everything.

We had an unexpected emergency with our 15-year-old girl and had to bring her in well past midnight, staying until almost 3 a.m. From the moment we arrived, we were met immediately by the triage team, who checked her vitals and did their due diligence to make sure our baby girl got the care and attention she needed. Everyone was incredibly kind, thorough, and reassuring during a very stressful night. The whole team was great, and we’re so grateful they were there when we needed them!

VEG Beverly was the best emergency vet I could ask for. My cat Bean Dip came in vomiting and, after some radiographs, we discovered that she had a linear foreign body in her intestines. After an emergency surgery, Dr. Crossfield and Dr. Ramirez successfully and expertly removed the thread from her stomach. I was even allowed to sleep over at the hospital, where I was given a comfortable private room and bed. The entire team was extremely kind and accommodating towards me, and were gentle with me as I had explained that one of my cats in the past had passed away from a similar issue. Doctors and staff at VEG Beverly - namely Dr. Crossfield Dr. Ramirez and Dr. Chennault, RN. Ashley and RN Thin, as well as CEC Renee and CEC Jennifer - saved my baby’s life! After the surgery, she was kept comfortable and safe by the team until discharge. The team kept a close eye on her post-surgery blood count levels to ensure she was not in any inflammatory or infectious danger. She is now home safely and recovering very well from the surgery. I will be suggesting VEG Beverly to my pet owner friends moving forward, and will always be grateful to them! ♥️

The vet care you have always needed and might not have known you were missing!!!! Excellent care, open concept office that allows you to REMAIN with your pet while they receive care! And the staff was so friendly and empathetic. 100 stars!

Great care close by when your regular family vet office is closed. Care is provided immediately using the most efficient modern equipment. There can be an understandable wait for prescriptions and check out when the clinic is busy. They took great care of me and my dog.

I was so beyond pleased with the care Wally received after testing positive for Parvo last week. While I was thrilled to learn that I could visit him at any time, even in the middle of the night, I felt beyond comfortable leaving him in your care for the two nights he spent there. I so appreciated the constant transparency about treatment options, costs, and frequent updates about how Wally was doing when I wasn’t able to be there. We were blown away by the amazing care he received! He absolutely LOVED his nurse Melissa, who took particularly amazing care of him (although the whole staff was incredible). I will absolutely be recommending VEG to all my friends with pets!

While being diverted to this ER I was over an hour from home. I brought my puppy Blondie in after she ate a treat and started vomiting continuously hours later. I was very impressed immediately within walking into the door. They assessed my Puppy and came up with a plan of action. Blondie was put on IV fluids and given x-rays to monitor her situation. They not only took care of Blondie with excellent care, but they also made sure I was good. They provided endless snacks and drinks free of charge. The vet even bought everyone pizza. The whole staff there is absolutely amazing Madison, Monica and Taylor are exceptional at keeping everyone comfortable. Christen is outstanding at her job. She leads the team with such dedication. She is so knowledgeable and so caring. Dr. Wells and Dr. Neely were just awesome. I was there 15 hours total but they did put Blondie and I in a room with an air mattress for the last three hours while waiting for her last set of X-ray results. I was able to get some sleep before we drove home. The open concept is absolutely amazing. I love how I was with my puppy Blondie the entire time. I was there to hold her paw to comfort her while she got her IV and treatments. Definitely give this ER five stars and I would drive up there again in a heartbeat.

There is a calm vibe here, and an open layout. It's WAY better than a typical emergency vet, which feels like walking into an active operating room. They have sofas set up and everyone hangs out communal-style with their sick animals and great staff. They also have private rooms. The Doctors and support staff helped our two dogs who both got into rat poison in the yard. We spent 24 hours there flushing the pups out, and met lots of different employees. Everyone we interacted with had a great disposition. We had to wait on occasion but you're in an emergency room, so that is expected. It is not inexpensive to have this caliber of employee and level of service. Bring cash or pet insurance. Despite this reality, we highly recommend!

I want to thank Dr. Raluca Anghel, our nurse Raquel, and the rest of the clinic staff. They were all wonderful, and the care they provided for my baby, Lulu, was incredible. Lulu arrived in a very weak state, suffering from vomiting and bloody diarrhea; both she and I were very frightened. Thanks to the care she received, they were able to stabilize her, and she is doing well now, thanks to the medical treatment provided. I recommend this place 100% because it’s clear that their primary focus is the health of our pets. They truly love their work, and that shows in the way they treat the animals. Thank you again to Dr. Raluca and to Raquel, who was with us the whole time, explaining everything. My Lulu is doing better now! 🫶🏼♥️

I recently adopted Bruno from the humane society, and just two days later, he developed complications from his neutering. Unfortunately, we don’t have a 24-hour emergency clinic in our area, so we had to drive three hours to get him the care he needed. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding. They treated Bruno with such care and made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. I am beyond thankful for the wonderful treatment and services they provided. What meant so much to me was that they also took the time to work with my budget. They showed compassion not only toward Bruno, but toward me as a pet owner who was doing everything I could to help him. I am truly grateful we made the three-hour drive. Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of Bruno and for treating us with kindness when we needed it most. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate, caring, and understanding veterinary care. ❤️🐾

The doctors at VEG Newton are Amazing! Although not exotic pet Specialists, Dr Risch saved one of our guinea pig, Nacho's, life twice within 2 years. Once from a respiratory illness which required oxygen and antibiotics, Then performed heart surgery to remove fluid from his heart in September, 2025. One year later he's still going strong...thanks to Doctor Epstein who acted quickly with 3 IV meds last night and increased his home treatment doses due to active CHF and stasis forming due to gut mortility caused by CHF. Again, first 12 hours were critical but our 6 year old senior guinea pig, Nacho, crushed that time line soley eating, drinking and pooping all day with only a few short naps between. Dr Risch also successfully treated our other guinea pig, Taco, of a hay poke in the eye. Shout out to Dr Mello who diagnosed Taco with a kidney stone and Dr Kennedy who was concerned of Taco's sudden weight loss which was later confirmed as cance. She was compassionate to petform euthanasia which seemed fitting as she saw him most. They are all equally as knowledgeable, nurturing and caring, including Dr Kaz and Doctor Silverstein who never physically treated our piggies but have been very instrumental with answering our telephone inquiries, as needed. Pets and owners are treated like family! It's so worth the 40 minute drive, even in the middle of the night. Highly recommended! Thanks to all of them!♥️

While VEG can be very pricey, that's pretty standard for emergency care, and I've found them to be largely accommodating. I wanted to specifically thank the kind vets who evaluated my poor kitty Felix, both when he was ill and at the end of his life. Specifically, the vet who helped FeFe pass on was very compassionate and supportive during one of the hardest days of my life. VEG also offered a quiet, dark room for a private goodbye, which meant a lot to me. I recommend them to all my friends with pets.

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to praising VEG ER in Cary. A few weeks ago, my 17-year-old pup, Floyd, suddenly went into respiratory arrest. We were turned away from two urgent care vets because we didn’t have an appointment. When I called VEG ER, they assured me they could help and would be waiting when we arrived—and they meant it. A veterinary technician was waiting outside with oxygen and a bed, ready to bring Floyd in and assess his condition. Unfortunately, given his heart condition and the sudden fluid in his lungs, there was nothing they could do to save him. Their veterinarian had such a gentle, thoughtful, and compassionate conversation with my husband and me. Throughout our time there, everyone reminded us how lucky Floyd was to have us, although we truly believe we were the lucky ones. They guided us through the process at our own pace and gave us as much time as we needed. They kept Floyd comfortable while we waited for the last few family members who wanted to be there to say goodbye, allowing us all to be together during those final moments. The veterinary technicians collected fur clippings, nose and paw prints, and molds of his paws—precious keepsakes that we will treasure forever. The aftercare process through Agape was just as thoughtful and smooth. They kept me updated on where Floyd was throughout the process and let me know when he was finally ready to come home. That continued care and communication meant so much during such a difficult time. If your pet ever needs emergency care, please do not hesitate to take them to VEG ER in Cary. You and your pet will be cared for by some of the kindest, most compassionate people imaginable. We cannot thank their team enough for helping our little boy, Floyd, cross the rainbow bridge peacefully and without pain. During one of the hardest moments of our lives, you gave us kindness, comfort, and the time to say goodbye. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️

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.

I worked with Danya, Lauren, Steph, Krista, and Holly and felt extremely comfortable and confident that my dog was in good hands. My dog was acted on quickly and efficiently. Everything was explained thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. If I had questions, they were answered in depth. I went in stressed, and left calm and comfortable. The invoice i received was quite reasonable. I will be telling friends, family, and coworkers about my great experience. VEG far exceeded my expectations. I thank the company and team for all the help we received!!

The friendliest vet staff I can imagine!!! So kind, compassionate, and they truly love what they do!! I love the open concept so I'm never left wondering what is going on. I'm so grateful for the treatment we've received so far, and they're making this the absolutely best as we navigate this chocolate mishap with my little guy. From the front desk, nurse, assistant, and doctor, 5/5 stars!

I’m so glad we decided to take our 15 year old baby Ruby here! The doctors and nurses were exceptional and compassionate, explaining everything to us thoroughly, they were honest about Ruby’s prognosis and gave me space to cry and process my emotions, and they explained everything they were doing every step of the way. They genuinely care about our pets and treat them with love and care. The waiting room is very calming and comfortable and the facility looks very advanced, like a human ER. When we brought Ruby in, she was in very bad condition and they took care of her immediately. The doctors and nurses answered all our questions patiently, they explained her condition and every test result, and they let me stay next to Ruby for hours late at night. Even when I went home to rest, they texted us to update us on her condition. They were exceptional at making both me and my pet feel safe and comfortable and they went out of their way to make sure Ruby was comfortable and taken care of. The doctor even sat down with me personally and talked with me about how I was doing and encouraged me to take care of myself. I’m happy to say Ruby, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, is much better now thanks to VEG ER and she’s recovering nicely! She’s back to her happy, energetic, cute, hungry, bossy self. They talked to us honestly about what to expect and what signs to look out for, explained her home medication to us, and they’re willing to work with you on pricing and different options for your pet’s care. If I were you, I’d 100% come to VEG ER for your pet’s emergency care :) Edit: Ruby’s doctors were Dr. Kahn, Dr. Finney, Dr. August, and Dr. Villarraga, her nurses were Krista, Manuel, and a few others I unfortunately don’t remember the name of. The whole team, both day shift and night shift, were excellent from the doctors to the nurses to the front desk to everyone else involved in Ruby’s care ❤️
