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!

We can’t thank VEG ER Pet – Larkspur enough for the incredible care and compassion you showed our beloved Yorkie, Luna Melo, on the night of July 18, 2026. A very special thank you to Dr. Cionna Rosenthal and the entire team working that evening. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so kind, patient, compassionate, and genuinely caring. You treated Luna as if she were your own, and that meant the world to our family during such a stressful time. Your professionalism, warmth, and attention to every detail gave us comfort and reassurance when we needed it most. Thank you for all the love, care, and kindness you gave to our sweet Luna. We truly appreciate every single person who helped us that night. Without a doubt, VEG ER Pet in Larkspur is now our #1 place for Luna’s veterinary care. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing team. Thank you again, Dr. Cionna Rosenthal and everyone at VEG ER Pet – Larkspur (2048-B Redwood Highway, Larkspur, CA 94904). You are truly exceptional, and we will never forget the kindness you showed our precious Luna. With heartfelt gratitude, Paula & Family ❤️🐾

Very organized, clean and most of all considerate and understanding when a pet parent is there because of an emergency. Jordan needed surgery for removal of an object he ate. It was removed at 4am after x-rays and giving it time to hopefully pass. He was up and ready to go home in just a few hours! Thanks to a great surgeon and team!

I wish I remembered the names of everyone I saw the evening of 7/12, but I was truly so impressed with the entire staff. Being able to speak to a vet on the phone was a game changer, and I was seen immediately when I walked in with my dogs. The doctor and all of the techs were incredibly kind, sweet with my dogs, and very quick. I’ve never been in and out of an emergency vet so quickly! Although I don’t want to have to come back, I definitely would return to this location if my dogs ever need it again.

Brought savior in for a gunshot wound hands down the best care and services staff is very friendly and knowledgeable provided us with information on the dog care from arrival up to discharge they offer various payment options. They’re genuine here for our pets. They don’t refuse treatment or care I highly recommend and trust our fur babies in their hands. Thankyou for a wonderful experience and for helping through this hard time.

Best experience I could have asked for, I am so grateful to the staff at VEG! Our 8 year old kitty accidentally ate a rubber band and had it sticking partway out his butt; my wife and I were in a panic at 2am and called to see if they could see him. They sent a check-in link via text, we filled it in, and went straight there. As soon as we arrived, they immediately examined our little guy and assessed for any urgent needs. During our visit he got xrays (which they even let me come watch for), an enema, and a few injections to help with his constipation and comfort. Every staff member was caring, gentle, kind, and compassionate to him the whole time -- it's clear the team truly loves animals! They were also very empathetic about my financial situation, I didn't have the funds in the bank, but they helped me apply for Care Credit so he could get the care he needed right away. At the end of it all, his xrays were all clear and they sent us on our way with everything we needed to keep an eye on him while he worked thru it. This morning he finally passed the rubber band and he's happy and thriving once again! Thank you VEG staff, thank you one million times over!! I'm so happy we came to you with our cat!

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.

We brought our puppy Pearl in as an emergency after she suffered a leg injury, and the entire team at VEG ER for Pets in Winter Park was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff was loving, attentive, and made sure she was comfortable the whole time she was there. They clearly care deeply about the animals they treat, not just the medical side of things but her comfort and emotional state too. We were understandably distressed bringing her in, and the staff made a scary situation so much easier to get through. We are incredibly thankful for everyone there who took care of our little girl. Highly recommend this team to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet.

This place is amazing. I’ve never taken an animal to the Vet ER before but they exceeded my expectations. Staff was really friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. We were warmly greeted at the door and multiple staff members came up to look at our injured dog and make sure he was comfortable.. Dr’s spent time explaining recommendations and alternate ideas. He didn’t say it but Finn totally agrees.

I took my senior pittie mix Maple here with what turned out to be horrible pancreatitis. She was hospitalized and I stayed with her all night and they made me up a bed so we would be comfortable together. This was my first time being overnight and I emergency vet and I didn’t know what to expect. Everyone was so kind and stopped to give her lots of love and reassurance no matter how busy they were. I really felt like they cared about her and wanted to get to know her which made all the difference in her care plan I am certain. They also refunded some costs on my bill for things that they didn’t end up needing to do, which I thought was really kind of them. It was obvious that they wanted to make sure that they billed me fairly. VEG is my favorite emergency vet because they employ gentle handling and allow you to stay with your pet the entire time. No secret back area where you’re not sure what they’re doing with your animal, or what kind of care they are getting. I cannot mention everyone who helped us, but Dr Zaremba, Em, Gretchen, Aubrey, we are so grateful. I didn’t catch your name but the person working the desk was so kind and helpful and took a turn hand feeding Maple when she became more interested in playing than eating when she started to feel better. What a talented and kind group of humans. Thank you for saving my little old lady.

I was referred here by the ER closest to my house because they did not have capacity to help my dog in a timely manner. I am very glad they did. Dr. Liddar, Sadie, and Angie? (sorry, I can't read the handwriting on the card) were great with my dog. They treated her quickly, calmly, and gently. My dog was nervous, but they kept her calm. The best ER experience I have had with my dogs.

It’s been close to two weeks now since I had to give my sweet girl up to the heavens. It was sudden and unexpected- but I am very thankful for this vet. They as quickly as they could eased the pain and allowed me to say goodbye to her in private. Although nothing will make it okay for me to- it was nice to be given that respect with her. The reality of understanding there’s not enough money in the world to stop death that I had to accept. Rest easy sweet girl. I’ll miss your face for the rest of my life. I’ll never get over loving and losing you. She looked so peaceful after. ❤️‍🩹😭💔

This was my first time having to take my pet to an ER vet and my expectations were beyond met. Dr. Funk was so attentive and proactive in getting my dog back to himself and was thorough through the whole process. Nurse Kaitlyn was so kind and hospitable towards my pet and went above and beyond to make sure we were both comfortable. I could shout out every person on their team and I believe that my dog was able to recover as fast as he did because of the care and love that he received at this office. They even rolled out a red carpet and celebrated his recovery as we left! 10/10 service and care!

I had to make the hard decision of peacefully euthanizing my baby and could not have asked for a better team to take care of my family. The care and compassion that was shown will always be remembered. Thank you for all that your amazing team does and continues to do, truly the BEST.

After seeing how highly rated VEG Carle Place was, I decided to take my 14-year-old Chihuahua, Sushi, there after I found him collapsed, lethargic, and running a 104° fever. I’m so glad I did. Sushi was triaged immediately upon arrival. It was a busy day, so we did have to wait about an hour to be seen, but he was resting comfortably while we waited. The veterinarian who treated Sushi was Dr. Huang. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained what he believed was going on, discussed the different possibilities, and reviewed the treatment options with me. He recommended hospitalization, IV fluids, antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, bloodwork, and X-rays, and he was upfront about the costs involved. I chose to move forward with the bloodwork, IV fluids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea medication, but declined the X-rays because they were outside of my budget. When I explained that I also had concerns about the cost of hospitalization, I never felt judged or pressured. Instead, Dr. Huang recommended another emergency specialty hospital where Sushi could have an abdominal ultrasound performed by a specialist at a more competitive price. I appreciated that he focused on what was best for Sushi rather than where the testing was performed. He also made it very clear that if I chose not to hospitalize Sushi overnight, I needed to follow up the very next day with the specialist he recommended. I followed his recommendation, and Sushi received excellent care there as well. I also want to recognize the entire VEG team for their outstanding customer service. From the receptionist, to the intake staff, to the veterinary technicians, and Dr. Huang, everyone was kind, compassionate, and professional. Although I didn’t get the names of the two veterinary technicians who primarily cared for Sushi, I do remember that one had a Stitch tattoo and the other had an amazing personality. They treated Sushi gently, made sure he was comfortable, and took the time to answer my questions. This wasn’t my first experience with a pet medical emergency, and what stood out to me about VEG Carle Place was the honesty, communication, and compassion of the entire team. I never felt pressured when discussing the financial aspect of Sushi’s care, and I felt comfortable making an informed decision based on the options that were presented to me. This was my personal experience, and it left a lasting impression. If I ever need emergency veterinary care again, VEG Carle Place will absolutely be one of my first choices. Thank you to Dr. Huang and the entire VEG Carle Place team for taking such great care of Sushi.

Dr. Baine was very kind and patient with me as I tried to explain what I was seeing with my dog. The facility was very clean and hospitable with a positive atmosphere.

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.

Dr. Fahey and the entire team here at VEG in Palo Alto were absolutely fantastic! My dog inhaled a foxtail and they immediately took action and resolved the issue! We are so grateful for their professionalism and care. Every person we interacted with on their large team showed us kindness in a stressful situation and helped answer all my questions. We were in and out in less than an hour and a half and the price was so reasonable for the level of care he received. Highly recommend this group.

My husband and his good buddy and fishing pal Nina were at the park the other day and a scary incident happened. Nina is a 2 year old Chihuahua with an incredibly sweet and loving disposition. Husband turned away for just a moment to speak with the game warden and heard his fishing pole move. He glanced around and Ms Nina had swallowed the treble hook that was surrounded by catfish powerbait. He clipped the line and called me in a frantic state. I looked up Emergency Pet Hospitals. Came upon VEG and decided to go there because it was close. By the time husband reached the clinic, he was hysterically weeping. He felt so guilty even though it wasn't his fault. She's a dog and catfish powerbait probably smells delicious to a dog. At the moment of arrival to the clinic, the staff displayed an amazing level attention and care. Not only for Nina, but for her Daddy too. It's so special there because they allow you to remain with your pet at all times. They x-rayed her and the hook was located in her esophagus. We had 2 choices...surgery or the Great Beyond. The veterinarian was Victoria, she is an angel incarnate. We were so stressed out with the decisions that need to be made. She gave us space, loving encouragement and guided us to the conclusion to at least try and save her with surgery. With steady hands, Victoria pushed the hook into her stomach, being careful not to tear any tissue on the way. She exposed her stomach, made an incision, and got the hook out without further incident. Victoria carefully stitched her up and off to the recovery area. Nina was highly medicated and high AF, so she had no clue what was going on. Britney made up a little area for me so that I could spend the night with Nina next to me. The love never wavered at any point while we were in the clinic for over 12 hours. Not just for us, but for EVERYONE that walked through the door. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone that needs a loving place to take their furry friends.

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.
