As a veterinary technician for general practice, I was absolutely blown away by the kindness, caring, comforting staff from the second I walked in and was greeted by Gabbie who was absolutely an angel to me my entire visit. I had to rush my 14 year-old diabetic senior dog over there late at night because he declined very quickly and was not well. I did end up doing tests and ultimately euthanized him. I was devastated and heartbroken. But having caring souls around you at a time like that, REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE AND I CANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!! During my stay , everyone was hands on with not only Dennis, but ME. They were prompt , hands on, transparent , efficient, professional but also personable people. All of you. I especially want to acknowledge the names that I remember who worked with me and Dennis that night- Gabbie❤️Dr Tiffani ❤️Maddie ❤️Sam ❤️Jess ❤️Floyd. You all made a huge difference and continue to do so whether you are a CSR, technician , veterinarian - you all matter. Thank you from the botttom of my heart

best place! if it wasn’t for them i wouldn’t have my little girl haley still with me. they take you immediately never a wait, they comfort you with snacks and drinks and if your pet must stay overnight you can stay with them in a room! everyone here is phenomenal and took such great care of my girl. ❤️ 5+ ⭐️

The whole staff was incredible. Everyone was so kind and helpful. It truly felt like they cared as much as I did about the wellbeing of my pet. Dr. Noethlich was great. She thoroughly explained all of the test results to me and she was very transparent about costs before we started. They absolutely exceeded my expectations and I’m so glad I chose this location. I highly recommend them.

Five stars because this place has done so much for our beloved pets and our family over the years. Today, our hearts were shattered when we unexpectedly lost our sweet Millie. In one of the most heartbreaking moments we’ve ever experienced, the entire team at ER Pet Vet showed us so much compassion, kindness, and grace. They comforted us when we needed it most and treated our precious girl with such dignity and care. Every time we’ve brought one of our pets here, they have gone above and beyond. It’s clear that every member of their staff truly loves animals and genuinely cares for the families who walk through their doors. Although our hearts are completely broken tonight, we found comfort in the love and support you gave us during such an unimaginable loss. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for our sweet Millie. We will never forget your kindness. ❤️‍🩹 — Millie’s Family

We did not expect that during our vacation time in Colorado for the 4th of July weekend, Pancake will get sick and needs emergency assistance. I admired their expertise when giving emergency care to my fur-baby. They make sure that Pancake is comfortable and allowed us to stay the whole time he was admitted. I am grateful with Dr. Remy Watt and the team that day. Pancake was doing good with the 10-hour drive back home and recovering well. 😊

Really appreciate this place. A trip to the emergency vet is never fun or cheap, but this ER does what they can to make your pet and you more comfortable. I appreciated the open concept, seeing rounds and understanding the triaging process, and getting to be with my cat even during procedures. I'm also grateful for the overnight room where I was able to sleep with my cat on my lap for a few hours while we were waiting. Staff also provided snacks, drinks, and phone chargers. Every employee, from front desk to assistants to LVTs to doctors, is good at their job, and I hope they're well-compensated. Thanks for helping Lexi feel better.

A+ ALL AROUND!!!! This was actually our 2nd time using VEG in Encinitas. Both times were absolutely amazing!!! The entire staff is so extremely compassionate, thorough, thoughtful, cannot say enough about every single staff member. Starting w the front desk staff, to the individual nurses, to the doctors!!! Couldn’t be happier. Obviously nobody wants to be in the ER for our little babies but if it’s needed, this is the spot!!! Extremely clean and very well maintained. Love the fact that you can stay right with your baby the entire way. Soooo grateful!!! Dr Campbell was our pups Doc but every staff member there was critical (shout out to our lovely nurse who loves BT’s as much as we love ours: Boston Terrier) She treated Charlie like she was her own!!! Just so grateful

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.❤️

We had a terrifying scare with our 9 year old Lab and rushed him in on a Sunday afternoon. Immediately upon entering, we were greeted and quickly attended by extremely professional receptionists. I loved that they created a low stress environment for pets with an “open” treatment space. I wish I could remember every single person’s name because everyone was BEYOND caring and professional. They had a full house yet treated every pet and family with kindness, empathy, and patience. We were offered beverages and both of our pets (we brought in our other baby to not have to leave him home alone) received so much love and attention during our visit. Dr. Mike was great. He put every medical term into easy to understand language and answered all of our questions. I appreciated the transparency with costs upfront. The entire staff made a stressful day feel hopeful and communicated every step of the process. Cannot recommend this facility enough.

Visited them today because my dog swallowed a big piece of pork bone. None of my previous dogs had ever done anything like this, so I was honestly freaking out. I searched around and decided to go with VEG ER in Anaheim since they had the highest reviews. It was a bit of a drive, but 100% worth it. The staff and doctors were all super friendly, and the clinic was really clean, organized, and had an open layout that made it feel less stressful. Everyone took the time to explain what was going on, and I never felt pressured into anything. One thing I really appreciated was how transparent they were with pricing. After discussing the treatment options, they texted me a rough estimate before moving forward. The emergency exam fee was around $200, and the Maropitant 10 mg/mL injection to make him throw up was about another $200, plus the other medication and treatment fees. My total came out to about $835. They were very upfront about the costs, and they also accept CareCredit if you need it. The injection worked, and my dog threw up a decent amount of the bone, but there were still some pieces left. I decided not to do a second round because the medication can make them pretty drowsy, and I didn’t want to put him through more unless it was absolutely necessary. For now, I’ll just be monitoring him closely and hoping he digests the rest without any issues. Hopefully I never have to come back for another emergency, but if I do, this will definitely be the place I go. Thank you to everyone at VEG for taking such good care of my pup and helping calm an anxious dog mom. 10/10, highly recommend ✨

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!!

I loved my experience at this ER for pets. Everyone was very kind to my pet budgie Gideon, my family and myself. The communication regarding the treatment and bill was clear. The ER itself was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend for other bird owners that find themselves in an emergency situation.

The team at VEG are amazing. I was there in June this year with my 14 year old husky who had a really bad internal infection. Dr. Kass was very professional and honest on diagnosis and surgery risk. I watched surgery and the team was super attentive and detail oriented. I was there from Saturday morning to Sunday evening and the entire staff was very friendly and made every effort to keep me and my baby Lana as comfortable as possible during entire process. This team truly showed me that they care and love what they do. Thank you so much for the care and support Dr. Kass Dr. Cisneros, Nurse and Assistants Drea, Jamie, Diamynde and Michelle. Lana beat the odds and is 100% back to her normal self.

The VEG Paramus team was sooooo so helpful when our dog, Ozzy, wasn’t feeling well. They triage you right away and determine if you can wait a little or need to see the dr asap. You’re allowed to be with your dog the whole time and the vet techs/nurses/doctors explain everything to you calmly and effectively. We had Dr. Maresca and the team, Brittney, Rebecca, and Sam. I immediately felt like Ozzy was in the right hands and absolutely recommend coming here in an emergency. Thank you so much for caring for Ozzy and making us feel cared for as well.

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. We'd had our sweet 19 year old boy's euthanasia scheduled at our home, but he decided he didn't want to wait a couple more days for his appointment. We rushed him here at around 3am after he had a seizure, which he had fortunately come out of before we even left the house to get him there, but we knew it was time and didn't want him to suffer. I was completely devastated, as the last thing I had wanted was for my baby to pass away in a bright clinic on a metal table, but much to my surprise, they have a lovely little room for euthanasias. It was very tranquil, and didn't look or feel at all like an exam room. It felt like a comfortable room in a home, and we got to sit on the couch and hold him before, during, and after the euthanasia, which made the whole ordeal so much better. All of the staff were very kind and patient with us, but Dr. Nicole Marter truly went above and beyond. We had been told that she was with another patient, so we were prepared to wait for some time, but she came in so quick. She sat with us and walked us through the procedure, and let us tell her a bit about our boy before we put him down. She was so sweet and compassionate, and I think she was the absolute perfect vet for us during his final moments. She took one of the most horrific and traumatic moments of my life, and turned it into a beautifully bittersweet memory. I really can't thank her enough for how good she was to my little old man, and how peaceful she made the whole process for all of us 💙

VEG took phenomenal care of our dog. He was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the week at VEG, and within days he had to leave us. The team at VEG made him comfortable every step of the way and supported us throughout the process. I cannot say enough about how empathetic, kind, and caring this team truly is. I highly recommend them. They explained everything to us, our options, and what quality of life and his timeline looked like at diagnosis. At his passing, they assured us we were making the best decision for him. They cared for him and our family throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to VEG.

Thank you for being AMAZING!!!! We are really happy with everything this hospital stands for. Simply the best.

We had to bring our cat here for an emergency, and I’m so grateful we did. The staff was incredibly friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to our concerns and were very understanding of our budget and what we were comfortable with. I never felt pressured into unnecessary tests or treatments, which meant so much during an already stressful situation. You can truly tell they care about the animals and their owners. If you ever find yourself needing emergency veterinary care, I highly recommend this clinic. Your pets are in good hands here!

What a wild ride! Our sweet puppy got injured during playgroup and local canine resort. The resort staff brought her to VEG in Millburn we traveled back from our vacation. The staff was professional, calm and completely organized. We agreed to a care plan and her emergency services while we were in route, it all happened quite seamlessly and quickly. By the time we were able to get back to our dog, she was post up and resting comfortably. Again the staff couldn't have been more helpful. In fact when one of the vet tech (Tyler? Taylor?) so I have traumatized our dog was with the cone, they quickly ripped up a surgical t-shirt to use instead. Now our dog wears a different t-shirt every day to keep her away from the stitches and it works like a charm. No more cone of shame! I would recommend this vet highly especially if faced with an emergency. I'm grateful for their expert care and professionalism throughout our experience.

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion we received at VEG ER for Pets during one of the most difficult moments with my dog, Poet. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was calm, kind, and incredibly supportive. They acted quickly to stabilize him and kept me informed every step of the way in a way that was clear and easy to understand, even while I was overwhelmed and emotional. I especially want to recognize Jasmine, who went above and beyond. I was extremely distraught after learning Poet had been diagnosed with Addison’s disease and could not stop crying. She took the time to comfort me, explain everything thoroughly, and help me regain a sense of calm. Her compassion felt genuine and grounding during a very frightening experience. Every single person we interacted with showed patience, empathy, and professionalism. They didn’t just treat my dog—they supported me as an owner going through something heartbreaking. They truly made me feel cared for like family. I’m deeply grateful for the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an emergency with their pet.
