I cannot speak more highly of this facility and the entire staff of doctors, nurses, and assistants here. The facility is unique in that the pets can be with their owners at all times. There is no “let’s take them to the back and take a look”. The owner can be with their pet through testing (except x-ray room for obvious reasons) and examinations. I think this makes both the pet and the owner comfortable - the pet feels much less anxious with its owner by its side ; the owner feels more at ease because they see what is being done and are part of the process. This speaks to the palpable feeling that VEG prioritizes absolute transparency with pet owners. Despite the mainly open concept design of this facility, there are also several private rooms as should a pet/owner prefer or require privacy. Owners are able to stay overnight in these rooms with their pets should the owners elect to be present for the entire recovery process. As for the team that works at this location, I cannot speak more highly of them. Everyone is kind, caring, patient, and thorough. The doctors are easily accessible and always happy to answer any questions. Doctors Crossfield (Lead ER doctor) and Chennault saved my dog’s life. My dog needed emergency surgery due to bloat and they both operated on him during the middle of the night. Both doctors had experience in the particular surgery that my dog needed and felt comfortable performing it. This is exactly the kind of transparency and honesty that made me feel safe to trust them with my dog. I chose to stay a few nights after surgery as I believe that the first few days after major surgery are the most critical and precarious. The quality of aftercare that the doctors and staff provided could not be better. The communication amongst team members allowed for seamless transitions during shift changes. Everyone here is kind and competent at the very least. One final thing to note regarding location: I was hesitant at first because of the location (due to this area being a place that transients frequent), but felt like coming here was my only option due to my perceived sense of urgency of my pet’s condition. However, my concerns were alleviated when I saw that appropriate measures were taken to ensure that the facility was safe and secure. While the exterior door is unlocked, there is an interior door people must enter through to get inside the facility. This interior door is locked until a staff member unlocks it. Additionally, they have overnight security that patrols the exterior of the facility.

Every staff member and doctor who worked with us went above and beyond. Even as the number of patients coming in continued to increase quickly, they never allowed the stress or pressure to affect the level of care and compassion they showed. They remained calm, attentive, and genuinely caring toward every pet and family they were helping. That says so much about the kind of team they are, and it definitely did not go unnoticed.

Drove an hour here for emergency care because the emergency vet closest to me is deplorable. The staff at VEG was caring and very sweet. They were also very thorough about everything. They even brought my boy a bed and blankie while we waited for x-ray results. It is expensive (as all emergency vet care is), and it took a while due to the triage nature of the facility, but the staff here is truly amazing. I definitely recommend.

Our experience with VEG ER for Pets was exceptional from start and sadly to finish. The entire team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, compassion, and expertise during a very emotionally stressful situation. Every member of the staff treated both us and our sick fur child with genuine kindness, taking the time to explain every step of the evaluation and treatment process thoroughly. The veterinarians and technicians were knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly dedicated to providing the highest level of emergency care. Their communication was excellent, ensuring we understood our pet's condition and treatment options while making us feel supported throughout the entire visit. The facility was clean, well-organized, and welcoming, and it was evident that patient care is their top priority. Knowing our pet was in such capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during a difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided by the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. Their commitment to excellence, compassion, and professionalism truly sets them apart. I highly recommend VEG ER for Pets to anyone in need of 24/7 emergency veterinary care. Thank you for everything you do for our beloved pets and their families.

I was totally upset and worked up when I called VEG ER, but the gentleman on the phone was incredibly kind and calm. When I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and organized the building was. The open concept floor was not what I was expecting but it was really awesome being with my dog every step of the way. The gentleman that helped us offered a bed for my dog to lay on, which was good because we waited like 5 hours. They offer snacks, drinks, as well as blankets for humans because it gets quite cold in there. Everyone there was kind and friendly. You could really tell they were dedicated to their job and providing the best experience for their patients. My princess loved being able to watch everyone walk around her and was completely content. The doctor even sat with her when we were finally seen so she wouldn’t have to be moved. :) All the staff talked to her like a baby whenever they addressed her which made me happy too. Really shows they love animals. Paid about $660 to find out she didn’t have a lot of poop in her, but the peace of mind was worth it. Getting to see how they take x-rays was cool too, even if my poor baby had to be manhandled hehe. The bill was much cheaper than I expected, which was nice. It was for the initial exam and the x-rays. Would highly recommend coming here for a transparent, wonderful experience! ❤️

I'm so grateful for the kindness and compassion we received during one of the hardest days of our lives. We had to say goodbye to our sweet 2-year-old kitty after unexpected heart failure, and every single person treated us with such empathy and respect. They made an incredibly painful experience just a little easier. Receiving this thoughtful card afterward meant more than I can express. Thank you for caring not only for our pet, but for our family too. We will never forget your kindness. ❤️

A new concept in vet care. Open concept office. Exceptional care from asst to tech to nurse to vet. A bit pricey but not like VCA. I went in on a Sunday morning at 6:30am so prices should be a premium. And the talent and equipment are upgraded. Great care for my sick kitty. This is now my go to for emergency vet care.

God forbid you ever need their services, but if you need it, these people are absolutely amazing! They love animals first off, and their customer service is amazing! They’re accommodating and understanding! They made us all feel right at home and completely comforted us in our time of need! Our dog loved all of them, which made getting his treatment so much easier. I am so grateful they were able to see us so fast. Thank you again for your services!

We cannot thank Dr Bogle and Staff enough for their amazing compassion, empathy, professionalism, knowledge, and overall care of our cat Slate. This was out 1st time using them and we came in with respiratory distress. From the second we walked thru the doors the medical staff was working to bring Slate back to good health. They were upfront with care plans, cost factors, giving viable options, and walking thru the process with you. Although Slate crossed the rainbow bridge that night, the entire staff was there with us and treated us like family. They truly love the fur babies! VEG Willow Grove will become our new emergency vet center. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Going to the emergency vet can be difficult, but if I ever have to go I will choose VEG Edgewater every time. Being able to stay with your pet is such great opportunity so they feel more comfortable. I also appreciate that I could come and visit anytime. The staff is amazing and you can tell they truly care about their patients and families.

We brought our cat Roxy in not really knowing what was wrong. Emergency vets can be a little overwhelming but this location had some of the nicest staff I've ever met in the vet field. Dr Johnstone and the staff were incredible. They were quick to get vitals on my cat, listen our concerns and previous medical concerns to try and figure out what was wrong. After some test came back it was determine our cat was in a dire urgent situation due to her diabetes. After Dr Johnstone thoroughly went over treatment options we decided euthanasia would be the most humane option. It's never easy to say goodbye to a pet. I had my furball for over 15 years. The staff was so sincere with the process. Making sure we had a private room, had time to say our goodbyes and just over all very professional. I was happy to hear they offer paw and nose prints free of charge and a patch of fur. My Roxy will be cremated and returned back within a week or so. I just want to thank the entire staff again for their professionalism and sincerity in this tough choice. They never once made me feel what I chose was the bad route. They all listened to stories about our cat and all praised how even with her being sick they could she was loved and how she snuggled up to my shoulder while being examined. This was simply the best experience I could have asked for under these circumstances.

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!

I’m beyond grateful for everyone at this pet emergency hospital!! From the moment my mom and I walked in with my cat Polly, they took her in immediately and treated her with so much kindness and compassion. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly caring not just to me, but especially to sweet Polly. I wish I knew everyone's names because they all deserve to be recognized for their amazing hearts!!! The staff worked so quickly, kept us informed, and gave Polly the best care imaginable! Seeing how gentle, patient, and loving they were with her meant everything to us during such a scary time. Thanks to them, Polly got the help she needed and we were able to bring her home. I truly feel so blessed and thankful that we had this place. If I could give them a million stars I absolutely would!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of Polly. I will never forget the kindness you showed us🥰❤️

Dr. Adams, Cav, Izzy, and the whole VEG team were phenomenal. They are exceptionally attentive, genuinely caring, and resoundingly professional. THEY ARE ROCKSTARS! I love the VEG business model and will continue to recommend VEG to friends, patients, and anyone who isn’t already a VEGGIE. We are so lucky to have a VEG in our community. Thank you for taking such great care of VinDi and all the pets under your care. No one wants to visit the ER, but once you experience VEG, you will never take your pet anywhere else in an emergent situation.

Highly recommend bringing your loved pets here. The care and service towards the pets and their humans was above and beyond. Transparency is a value here as there is no bringing your pet “to the back” - every station is out in the open so you can be with your pet through every procedure and test. The staff has blankets and drinks for the humans to ensure we are also comfortable while waiting for our pets to heal. The demeanor and care from the staff was truly something I’ve never experienced at a vet before - I felt so taken care of and believed my dog was in the best hands possible. I walked in with my dog who had lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea, and there was no wait, and urgency to solve the issue. What we though was an irritated GI tract was actually a flipped stomach, to which the entire team responded to rapidly and brought him into surgery. I was allowed to stay overnight with my dog while he was healing which helped the both of us with our anxiety. I have never witnessed this concept at a veterinary clinic before and I wish i could give 10 stars

On July 3rd (after 9pm) our dog was bit by a Coperhead snake. We were on vacation and far from any attention. From the moment we called to inquire, up to our discharge; our pet was immediately taken care of and the circumstances and treatment needs were clearly explained. Dr Sarbry and her team (unfortunately I don’t remember names, I was too distraught) looked after Tody constantly and made sure we were comfortable. They also allowed us to stay by his side. A week later, he is still recovering at home and we are very thankful for all the attention received. They acted fast which was very important to stop the venom effects. Thank you VEG ER at Austin team. We are very appreciative of your care

I took my beagle in at 2:30am and they were absolutely fantastic. I called ahead for advice and after talking to them they decided he should be seen. They texted a link to my phone and I submitted a very quick intake before bringing my dog in. Upon arrival, everyone was so sweet and caring. The open concept allows you to be with your pet at almost all times so there is no waiting around and wondering what’s happening. From the ER doctor to the nurses and triage, everyone was truly comforting and keeping me informed and comfortable at all times. My pup had to stay for 12 hours for an IV drip and I was able to leave and comeback whenever I wanted. Kasey, the overnight person we worked closely with was an absolute dream. She got him comfortable and checked in on me often for anything I may need while we waited together. When I returned later to check on him, Dot, his day nurse, was so sweet with her care of him and trusted my judgement on how to get him to cooperate. They put us in our own room while he finished the IV to give us some quiet time after a long night. I’m not a big review person, but after going through a stressful situation with my little love, the entire staff made it far better than I could have ever expected. Knowing they are there gives me huge relief should something go sideways again. Compassionate, kind, even funny (when appropriate and quite frankly needed). They love animals and will treat yours like their own.

I would like to highly recommend and thank the emergency animal hospital VEG ER in White Plains on Tarrytown Road. My newly adopted cat needed emergency care for a surprise bladder issue on Sunday morning and again on Monday night. The vets, vet techs and staff there were so amazing and our boy got the best care. Please visit them if your pet needs emergency care. I was blown away by their thorough care and extremely good bed side manners and kindness with humans and animals. You can tell these people love animals and their jobs. Also please keep Rubio in your prayers for continued healing. Thanks! Before and after pictures thanks to VEG ER in White Plains!

The nurses and doctors were absolutely amazing. Zero wait time, I called on my way and they immediately got to work on my cat when we arrived. They figured out what was wrong and explained to me every step of the treatment process. They were gentle, kind, and efficient working on my cat. He needed to be held there for 48 hrs and they kept me updated on everything, letting me know he was in good hands. Definitely recommend taking your pet to this ER, I’ve never had a better and faster experience.

I unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to put my sweet girl to sleep. I cannot thank the VEG ER staff enough for their kindness, patience, and empathy. Special thanks to Dr. Cuccaro for her amazing bedside manner and providing me with all of the details to make an informed decision; Theodore whose calming presence made such a difficult situation easier to handle; and Nathan who was so gentle with my baby. They allowed me to take as much time as I needed with her before and after & went out of their way to make sure we were both comfortable. It’s a decision nobody wants to make, but if you have to this is certainly the place to do it.

VEG saw my French bulldog for a heat related injury. As soon as we walked in the door we were met with prompt attention to our girl. She was on a treatment immediately despite the fact she was in fairly stable condition. The entire staff was so welcoming, loving and empathetic. Dr. Eisemenn met with us instantly and began the exam right away. Dr. Eisemenn and his team were excellent! Yes, emergency visits are expensive and we were provided an estimate without asking. We really appreciated the upfront transparency. Happy to say our girl is feeling as best as she can and she is recovering nicely at home. We are really grateful to the VEG team because this could have been a worse situation. Thank you!

I want to thank everyone I came in contact with at VEG Larkspur for their kindness! I felt very well taken care of and supported, and I appreciated that Riley's care was nurturing, comforting and thorough. The intake process with James was outstanding. He helped me settle down, with a private room which was so helpful, and he even shared some chocolate from his private stash :-) The doctor and every single one of the vet techs who helped Riley were wonderful, so caring and compassionate! The written report I received from Larkspur VEG via email a few days later was very helpful and included every detail of our visit including lab results. Their follow-up messages were so thoughtful, much appreciated, and they also forwarded a copy to Riley's regular vet. I'm so glad that Marin County now has this wonderful vet ER group, and I highly recommend them! Riley wants everyone to know that he is feeling much better now. =^..^=

I am so grateful for Dr Volkman and her associates at Veg ER. Our 12 yr old dog "Bug" was having difficulty breathing and I can't say enough about how caring and intelligent the staff was. When we first arrived he could only walk a short distance so they made him comfortable right where he was so he could rest and proceeded to treat him there. I've never seen our dog so at ease with strangers, I really believe he sensed the genuine caring they surrounded him with. I was amazed. Their home care instructions were detailed and easy to understand. One of the girls there even decorated his folder for his paper work with his name and some art... a small detail but little things like that really mean a lot. I can tell you these people genuinely care about the animals they treat. I highly recommend and won't hesitate to return when and if the need ever arises again.

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.

I cannot express my gratitude for the staff here. My Betty got into a bag of tums and Advil and was admitted for an overnight stay. They kept calm the entire time and were so friendly is made me feel so much more secure. Betty has now been home for almost a week and is back to herself. Everyone from the doctors to the front desk staff were amazing. And the warm cookies?! Are you kidding?! I wish the human ER was like this.

My dog was 13:year old female rough collie that started to decline in health as soon as she turned 13. She had been under care of my regular vet. Well on July 4th she started to have this weird whine bark; she had a similar behavior the night before but settled down. She seemed like she was anxious; so I tried to find out who could see her. I called the VEG in Leesburg and they told me to bring her in. ...I had told them over the phone I had decided it was time - she wasn't eating, could barely walk etc. I arrived; they came out to get her from my car and was already triaging her I had one person give me a glass of water while they were treating her ...they made sure I was comfortable while attending to my dog. The vet ran blood work and did a CT scan to confirm she didn't have anything wrong in her abdomen. They were also working on getting her temperature down but said it wasn't heat stroke. We decided the right decision was to let her go and the vet agreed. They took us to another room; the vet compassionately and caring let her go. She explained to me the process. The whole staff was compassionate and caring from the moment we came in to my dog's euthanasia. Today I got a card from them

I don't usually write reviews, but this place and staff absolutely deserve a five star review. I've been to emergency vets before, but I'd never experienced an open-concept emergency hospital like this, and it completely changed my expectations. We rushed our pit mix, Lockie, in because we thought she had been bitten by another dog. She was bleeding so badly and we couldn't control the bleeding. It turned out to be a mass that had been bitten, nicked, or somehow erupted, and needed to be removed and cauterized. From the minute we walked in, staff immediately took action. Everyone was kind, compassionate, and constantly checking on both Lockie and us. They explained everything as they went, answered every question, and made sure we were comfortable through the whole process. What really makes this place different is the open concept. You don't have to hand your pet over and sit in a waiting room wondering what's happening behind closed doors. We were able to stay with Lockie, watch her being cared for, and even watch the surgical procedure under anesthesia. That level of transparency gave us so much peace of mind. Even when other emergencies came in, you could see the team working together, which actually made us feel even more confident in the care they were providing. The pricing was in line and fair for what I'd expect for an emergency vet, and they were very upfront about everything. They went over all of the recommended treatments and allowed us the option to decline items that we felt weren't absolutely necessary, as long as it was medically appropriate. There was never any pressure, just honest communication and a genuine concern for doing what was best for Lockie. As someone who's pretty picky and pays attention to quality of care as part of my job, I was honestly impressed. This unfortunate emergency experience felt different, in the best way. The transparency, communication, compassion, and quality of care were outstanding. I hope we never need an emergency vet again, but if we do, this is where we'll be returning to. Thank you for taking such great care of Lockie, and her parents!

I wish this animal emergency was open before my other dog passed away. You are able to stay with your pet throughout much of the time. Everything is open and transparent and the staff is very empathetic towards all concerns. All questions answered. The prices are not on the low end but I do not believe i was overcharged, as this is a 24 hour emergency hospital. What a great peace of mind to know there is this kind of care day or night for our animals. Everything is comfortable and yiu can stay with your pet the whole time! Tbe restroom is very clean! Hopefully it stays like that! They have snacks and beverages for the humans. We never want to have to have these visits but just know they are there for our animal babies! Five stars all the way!!

We cannot thank Dr Bogle and Staff enough for their amazing compassion, empathy, professionalism, knowledge, and overall care of our cat Slate. This was out 1st time using them and we came in with respiratory distress. From the second we walked thru the doors the medical staff was working to bring Slate back to good health. They were upfront with care plans, cost factors, giving viable options, and walking thru the process with you. Although Slate crossed the rainbow bridge that night, the entire staff was there with us and treated us like family. They truly love the fur babies! VEG Willow Grove will become our new emergency vet center. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Sadly, I had to rush Robert back to VEG just hours after our first visit because he suffered a severe second wave of anaphylactic shock. To say this team is life-saving is an understatement. They immediately admitted him for a 24 hour overnight stay, monitored his shifting vitals minute-by-minute, and completely pulled him out of danger again.While the entire 24-hour staff was incredible, Dr. Beckwith, Dr. Ritchie, Erin and Carolyn were absolute heroes during the day and overnight shifts. They treated Robert like their own. They gave me total peace of mind during a mentally draining crisis. Carolyn and Dr. Beckwith laid the perfect foundation during the day and the overnight team Dr Ritchie and Erin took exceptional care of him through the night. I’d like to reiterate, the ENTIRE staff was amazing! I just don’t remember everyone’s name! Thank you VEG Mount Pleasant! Thank you all for giving my boy his life back twice in one day!

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 would highly recommend using veg er before any other place around. They were super efficient, caring and just amazing. They do not just try to raise your bill for unnecessary work like some vets we have been to in the past. They actually care about your animal. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor were amazing and I’d like to thank them for taking such good care Jack for us, from the time we walked in with him until we left. They gave us the time we needed to spend with him before his final moments and it is all appreciated. We had Veronica, Amanda, Jennifer.and Mei to name a few. Thank you all again.

Our almost 12 year old yorkie had a severe anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine. My husband is a pediatric ICU physician, my daughter is a neonatal RN, and I’m a retired PICU RN. We also co-own a private practice, pediatric urgent care not far from Veg ER. As health care professionals and small business owners, we could not have been more pleased with the way our little Leia and our family were treated. Every member of your practice was so kind and caring- informing and involving us in every step of her care. The snack and beverage station, private family rooms with a pull out bed, pillows, sheets and blankets, were next level care. Thank you for making a very scary and stressful situation as comfortable as possible for all of us. We hope to never need an emergency pet ER again, but if we do, we know exactly where to go.
