Dr. Riley and staff were very professional and compassionate as we made the hard choice of letting go of our dog PeteE. They were completely patient with us and throughly informative each step of the way. Thank you The D'Avanzo family

Five stars for VEG Brookhaven. The open, transparent concept is what sets them apart. You can see exactly what is being done to your pet, no different than in a human hospital, and that puts their competency on full display. A far superior experience to BluePearl. The flow was smooth, the wait was short, everything was efficient, and I was constantly updated. Prices were reasonable. Everyone we worked with was wonderful, and their modern, automated approach to sharing medical information was better than any vet experience I've had. I will continue to use them for all emergency needs.

As fur-mother to five years old dog was one of terrifying experiences. Maska refused to eat for two days in a row and I tried to feed his favorite food, treats and even a piece of chicken. Neither did he ever eat anything. No doubt. I had to take him to animal emergency care. Tests, x rays after they checked his temperature, it was 101.2. I waited until one of nurses came with news. They found a foreign object in his small intestine. My stomach dropped. I thought, “How could i miss that”. They had to perform surgery to remove it to prevent a life threatening. They discovered a human toy - Blox Fruit toy. Nothing of us have seen this before. It is very dangerous for both cat or dog. I was luck to admit him on time and he survived. They kept him for 24 hours until he was able to eating. He came home and have a quiet time. Thanks to ER vet team for saving his life. Very grateful. One thing they suspect he could have pick up outside and swallowed. No claimed the human toy. Importantly he is alive. Be aware about any toys aren’t designed for chew. It can kill your fur baby.

VEG save my Great Dane’s life! She was bitten by a western diamondback rattlesnake about 1 inch below her right eye. VEG Gave her better care and treatment than I have received in hospitals myself. Dr. Conn Was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Without her guidance, I know my Izzy would no longer be here. The nurse that was with us sat in the floor with a blanket for over an hour, never leaving my baby’s side. Checked her vitals every five minutes. She treated her like I feel she would have treated her own kid. I will never take one of my animals anywhere else. And I would have paid them triple the amount of money it cost me if I would have known how amazing their service is!

I hope we never have to come back here again… not because of our experience, but because nobody wants to see a vet team for anything other than routine care, especially for a pet medical emergency. However, if we ever end up in a situation where we need care again immediately, this will for sure be our go-to. From our initial phone call to checkout, everyone showed compassion and a genuine love for what they do. We were in a large shared room, so I was able to see how the staff interacted with other patients, and everyone was treated with the same level of compassion and attentiveness. Cassidy was amazing at putting my anxious dog at ease, and even staff who didn’t treat her remembered her and asked how she was doing when we came back for follow-up bloodwork the next day. These types of visits are never expected or cheap, so I really appreciated that they gave me different treatment options and recommendations while working with my budget without making me feel judged. I’m glad this was the first result when I Googled “animal ER near me” and couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you to the entire team for what y’all do!

This place is amazing, so polite, and welcoming I took my rat here for him to be euthanized and they didn’t charge me, this was so heart warming for me- these people were so nice to me and my friends while my whole world was falling apart. These people show they care about their patients and clients. I do not know what i would have done without them yesterday. God bless them. i am here to edit my review after getting my boys cremation remains back, he arrived in a beautiful bag in his urn, a heartfelt message from the whole team sending their condolences and i even got his little feet back, so happy to have my boy back knowing he was taken so well care of❤️❤️

VEG is an incredible experience! They had no idea I was coming and yet somehow they met me at the door. They did not make me go to a desk or fill out any paperwork. They just immediately started caring for my pet. There was zero waiting involved. They just gave the most incredible care immediately. I'm so incredibly happy to know that this place exists.

Ms. Hauser, I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank you for everything you did for Zoey and me last night. 🖤 You met me during a moment when I was completely overwhelmed, emotional, scared, and honestly just exhausted. You didn’t just take care of Zoey—you showed so much kindness and compassion toward me too. You saw that I was going through it, and instead of making an already stressful situation harder, you made me feel heard, understood, and reassured. The fact that you were so amazing with Zoey and were kind enough not to charge me meant more to me than you probably realize. It wasn’t simply about the money; it was the compassion behind it. In a moment when I felt like everything was becoming too much, your kindness gave me a little bit of relief when I desperately needed it. Thank you for treating Zoey with such care and for treating me like a person who needed a little extra grace that night. I’ll genuinely never forget it. People like you remind me that there are still incredibly kind people in this world. Thank you again, Ms. Hauser, from both Zoey and me. 🐾🖤

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG ER for Pets. From the moment we rushed our cat, Ruckus, through their doors, every single person treated her—and us—with compassion, kindness, and genuine care. Their open-concept hospital meant we never had to leave her side, which brought us so much comfort during one of the scariest moments of our lives. The doctors and staff were incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. They stabilized Ruckus and gave us hope when we needed it most. But what truly sets VEG apart is what happened after we left. They continued checking on Ruckus days and even weeks later, simply because they cared. They didn't have to, but they did—and that speaks volumes about the hearts of the people who work there. Knowing they're open 24/7 gives us peace of mind that if another emergency ever happens, we'll never hesitate to bring our pets to VEG. They are more than an emergency hospital—they're a team of compassionate people who truly love animals and the families who love them. Thank you for everything you did for Ruckus. We'll never forget your kindness. ❤️🐾

Highly recommend. We were able to talk to the vet on the phone before making the drive for our dog. Once we arrived, they were so kind and compassionate. Very informed and they walk you through the process and charges before doing anything. I also like that we were able to be with our dog while they ran the tests. They let us bring our other dog in as well and gave her lots of love and treats!

I went with my cat late at night, and I had the best experience. As soon as I entered, Andy helped me, and she was so nice. Dr. Watson saw my cat, and she was very thorough and explained absolutely everything. She did an amazing job. Nurse Margo was exceptional; not only did she explain everything to me and was amazing and sweet to my cat, but she also sat down with me and answered all my questions. All the staff were so sweet. The best staff for an ER; people go there overwhelmed and stressed, and you encounter such angels. Thank you!

My experience taking my 1 year old toy poodle Luxe was amazing. It was everything I expected and more. As soon as I stepped foot in the door I was met by one of the staff members and Dr. Pauline Bravo was right there to attend to my Luxe who was not feeling well. Veronica and the rest of the staff were very helpful, friendly, devoted and professional. I would recommend the VEG Emergency Hospital to everyone that needs help with their fur baby/babies. VEG staffs are truly team players. Thank you for taking care of my Luxe. Regards! Rossalyn🩷

Really appreciate this staff they are genuinely good people and we are so grateful. The location is very clean and very welcoming

I had to bring my dog to the VEG ER, because of a stroke my vet had missed. Even though it was too late and she could not be saved, VEG ER tried all they could to save her. They took her from our arms the moment we stepped in the door. We were treated kindly from everyone at this facility. She was never left alone, a nurse was by her side the entire time. They were honest about her condition, but never rushed us to make a decision. Dr. Swartzel was phenomenal, he even sat on the floor next to me when letting me know how she was doing and discussing our options. I felt like they respected us and were empathetic about the entire situation. They made the euthanasia process easier, the room was cozy and we were able to sit with our baby as long as we needed. I would 100% recommend this ER.

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 experience we had with VEG was fantastic. When we arrived, we met with Dr. Butts to have Leia evaluated and come up with a plan of treatment for her. Following that, he consulted with Dr. Rodriguez for surgery. They treated Leia with the utmost care. The support staff was also fantastic in keeping her comfortable and taken care of. I appreciated the time everyone spent with us answering our questions and concerns.

My wife and I are SO thankful for VEG ER for Pets! We sadly had to put our little feather child to sleep this morning after 16 long amazing years with that little guy! We woke up from hearing him squeaking and seizing uncontrollably and we knew he was not doing well. We knew it was time. We searched good ole Google and saw all the amazing reviews and called them immediately. They were so gentle and kind over the phone, and completely calmed our nerves and invited us in. As soon as we walked in, they were so attentive and helpful, and showed empathy. They quickly gave our baby bird medication to make him comfortable, and gently took us to a nice room with soft music and a comfortable couch to spend our last moments with him. They even gave us a nice little plant in memory of “Papi” Thank you to every single one of you that was there this morning! You truly helped my wife and I through a difficult time. We HIGHLY recommend VEG ER!

This place saved Cowboy’s life. The doctors and techs were incredibly knowledgeable and so kind every day we were there. We cannot thank them enough. Prices are the highest I’ve seen for an ER vet, but they’re centrally located, 24/7 and you can stay with your animal the entire time if you want to. We got 90% reimbursement via pet insurance too via lemonade. So, if you can afford to pay up front initially, they will make sure you get your money back once a claim is filed. Thank you VEG!

Veg ER is an excellent 24 hr 24/7 emergency hospital with very caring and compassionate staff. They immediately got us in and could see he couldn't breathe well and had ultrasound on him. And started a game plan immediately. Everyone worked as a well organized team and every one knew their jobs well. I was so thankful I was able to get him there in time. And I was able to bring him home eiith a treatment plan. Highly recommended

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Rusch and the entire team at VEG Flower Mound for saving my dog’s life. On Friday night, our dog needed emergency surgery for GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), and from the moment we arrived, everyone was compassionate, professional, and incredibly caring. Dr. Rusch and his team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. My family and I are deeply grateful for everything you did for our dog and for the kindness and support you showed us during such a frightening time. We truly appreciate your dedication, expertise, and compassion. Thank you for giving our dog a second chance.

This past Wednesday at approximately 5:30 p.m., my daughter brought our beloved bearded dragon, Alan, to VEG for emergency care. From the moment she arrived, Kelly and every member of the staff treated Alan and my daughter with extraordinary kindness, compassion, and respect. Alan had become seriously ill very suddenly. The team carefully explained his condition, discussed the available options, and gave her honest, straightforward advice while remaining incredibly gentle and caring. Although they offered possible treatments, they were also compassionate enough to help her understand that, sadly, those treatments were unlikely to be successful. Alan passed away, and his loss has truly broken our hearts. He was beautiful, playful, and such a cherished part of our family. His absence is deeply felt. This was our first experience with VEG, and we will never forget the immediate response, tenderness, and generosity shown to us during such a painful moment. The staff went above and beyond in ways that meant more to our family than we can adequately express. We are profoundly grateful that, when Alan needed help most, he was surrounded by people who genuinely cared. We would wholeheartedly recommend VEG to anyone needing emergency care for a beloved pet. Thank you, Kelly and the entire team, for the compassion and dignity you showed Alan and our family. With heartfelt gratitude, Katherine and Ann Miller

We took our 4 year old Portuguese water dog in for a true emergency. She needed a blood transfusion after eating rat poison and her blood was not clotting. There was lots of bruising but no internal bleeding to vital organs. She needed all all types of exams and several tests. She stayed overnight and needed lots of care. I called about every 3 to 6 hours and got all the answers I needed. I took her the next day for another blood test. They explained everything but since I had been keeping up with the test results on Dr. Chat Gpt I knew most of the stuff they were talking about. I was also uploading invoices as I was being billed. The prices are mostly normal and a few were a little high. But you're paying for comfort while you're in there. It is open concept so be prepared to have all your buisness out there. Everyone sitting around is very concerned about everyone's pet, some share and some over share. Whether or not that matters is neither here nor there, the vets are excellent.

Our family will be forever grateful to the team at VEG Easton for saving our sweet boy, Charlie. Charlie was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis and became critically ill. There were moments when we truly didn't think he was going to make it. We were devastated, scared, and preparing for the worst. From the moment we arrived, the entire team treated Charlie as if he were their own pet and treated us like family. A special thank you to Kayla, Gavin, Alissa, and Dr. Shay. Their compassion, expertise, patience, and genuine care were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They took the time to explain everything, answer our countless questions, and support us through one of the most difficult experiences we've ever faced. The medical care Charlie received was exceptional, but what made the biggest difference was the time, attention, and love they poured into him. We truly believe that their dedication played a huge role in his recovery. Today, Charlie is back home with us and continuing to improve, and we know we owe that to this incredible team. Thank you for giving us more time with our beloved boy. We will never forget the kindness, compassion, and hope you gave us when we needed it most. ❤️ Charlie's very grateful family 🐾

I want to give a huge thanks to Dr. Manning, Dr. Riddick, and every staff member who helped when my cat’s health took a sharp turn. I brought my 10 month old kitten to VEG last week when he got sick and our regular vet couldn’t see him, and I’m so so thankful for the compassion and care from everybody who works there. I was able to bring him back within 24 hours for no extra exam fee where the staff determined that he should stay overnight for treatment. They talked me through what procedures they would be doing and presented different payment options as well. I was also allowed to either stay with him overnight or come and visit whenever. They helped me get life-saving medicine through Chewy, and overall I was just so grateful for our experience. The overnight staff even made a cute little name tag for my cat, and made sure he was comfortable through what was surely his scariest experience in life. I’m sitting here now watching him be his crazy self again, when just a week ago he wouldn’t even lift his head to look at me. Thank you VEG for everything!!!

The veterinary staff at VEG Upper East Side went above and beyond to help my dog, Palmetto. Dr. Kass was one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate veterinarians I have ever interacted with, and I could not recommend her more. After a week of various vet visits, procedures, and a trip to the emergency room, I was out of options and completely desperate to help my best friend. The staff here went well above what is expected of them to make me feel informed, comforted, and safe. Plus they did a remarkable job on my dog’s surgery. I could not recommend this team more. They took what was the worst day of my life, a day where I thought I might have to euthanize my dog and best friend, and gave me hope. Ten out of ten stars. 🩷

Everyone there took very good care of my dog Mandy today! The receptionist (Raven) was so kind and made us feel comfortable. The technicians and Doctors were friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. Noone ever wants to need the ER, but sometimes we do and it is so comforting to know how much they care! I also love that you are able to stay with your pet the whole time! The facility was very clean and rhe staff was continously cleaning which is also so great to see!

We have been to VEG four times, all four times we have been so pleased with the service we recieved. They did everything they could to work with our budget and help us afford Heidi's care, and my husband was so impressed this time, he has decided we will not be going anywhere else for urgent care. They are 40 minutes from us and we will always make the drive. Also, I was chatting to the receptionist and mentioned how I almost worked at VEG, and she said 'oh you totally should!' And sounded genuinely happy to be there. I work in vet med myself, and that is NOT something you hear very often. That spoke volumes. Well cared for staff equal well cared for patients. They also gave Heidi a bed during her stay and had comfy furniture for us to sit on. The technician who helped us was so gentle when he was cleaning up her wound and so nice to us. Nobody made us feel bad for being on a budget, which happens a lot at other ERs in the area. We have been to most of them, and VEG is by far the best experience we have had.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re a pet owner, having a place you can truly trust in an emergency is everything—and VEG ER for Pets absolutely delivers. From the moment we walked in, the level of care, urgency, and compassion was on another level. The staff immediately took control of the situation, making sure my pet was comfortable while also keeping me informed every step of the way. You can tell this team genuinely loves animals and treats every case like it matters—because it does. What really stood out was the transparency and professionalism. The vets explained everything clearly, answered every question, and never made us feel rushed. The facility itself is spotless, modern, and designed in a way that makes a stressful situation feel just a little bit easier. In moments where emotions are high, you want confidence—and that’s exactly what VEG gives you. Fast, knowledgeable, and incredibly compassionate care. Thank you to the entire team for being there when it mattered most. This place is a lifesaver—literally. 🐾

My golden retriever ate a corn cob, and I had no idea just how serious of a veterinary emergency this could be. I quickly learned that corn cobs can become lodged in the intestines, potentially causing a life-threatening obstruction. Thankfully, VEG ER immediately connected me with a nurse over the phone who took the time to explain the risks and why my dog needed to be seen right away. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding. Not once did I feel judged. Instead, they reassured us that accidents happen, and their genuine compassion made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to handle. Everyone was positive, professional, and attentive. The veterinarian on shift was extremely thorough, taking the time to explain everything in detail and answer our questions. What stood out to me the most was how they cared for not only our dog but also us. They truly treated us like family. I cannot recommend VEG ER enough for anyone facing a pet emergency. Their compassion, professionalism, and genuine love for animals made all the difference. I am beyond grateful they were there when we needed them most!

I ended up at VEG late night with my dog with a large laceration on his face. The facility was great. The team was amazing. The only reason I had to wait was two pups came in that needed care faster. I’m completely ok with that. Dr. Watts, Celeste and the whole team made me wish they were my personal medical team. They were so caring and gentle with our dog. He’s not loving his cone of shame today buts he’s patched up nicely and starting his recovery. Thank you so much from our whole family

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!!

Wonderful experience! The care and understanding that our dog received was amazing. From the minute we walked in the door and walked out the door our pet was with us, together through all the procedures we experienced understanding, patience, and professionalism with medical explanations along the way. We observed other pets and their owners being treated the same way. Keeping us together relieved a lot of anxiety and fear, which meant the world to us to be by his side and for him to see us. We want to thank the staff at VEG Shrewsbury for the amazing treatment that our Kangal received.

I cannot say enough about VEG. My sweet girl had a traumatic, life threatening, unexpected situation yesterday. From my phone call with Jasmine to being greeted by the techs and working with Dr. Croslin, it was an amazing experience despite the awful situation we were there for. You really do get to stay with your pet the entire time. The staff are all very kind, knowledgeable and passionate towards you and your loved one. They performed various tests very quickly, found the problem so fast and provided options and outcomes in a way that was considerate and compassionate. In the end, my family and I made the very difficult decision to put my baby to sleep. The entire process was so difficult on my heart but the team took care of us every step of the way and truly showed care and love although we had just met. During a time that you really don't want to be thinking of the financial aspect of things, but you're worried about how big that bill is about to be-the pricing was absolutely reasonable and fair. I promise you will be in excellent, caring hands if you need to come to VEG in the Alliance area. Call ahead on your way there. They will send you a link to a brief form to fill out, so that as soon as you walk in the door, you can be seen right away. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you from the bottom of my very broken heart, to the team of techs and Dr. Croslin for working so fast and with so much love yesterday for my sweet baby girl, Shadow.

We have been through many emergency rooms for Dogs, regular vets for Dogs and our Bella is 16 1/2 with stage five lymphoma so you can imagine we have been through many different places for different reasons and Veg is just different, special and very good Different. We have found that one of the most important things for us as Pet parents, as well as Dogs in general is making sure that they are not separated at their most desperate times and it appears VEG has solved those issues by allowing us to be with her every moment of her eight hour journey. While this has just begun I do feel it was the right decision to come here and the staff has been fabulous. Highly recommend.

Thank you to the staff who helped my family and I through one of the hardest decision we had to make. They took the time out to weigh out our options, answer any questions we had. But most of all the care and compassion we received through this painful time. He is now no longer suffering in the arms of my mother who passed in January. Yuki truly was my angel baby. I was blessed to have him, even if for a short time. Thank you so much for doing everything you possibly could. For supporting my family and loving these beautiful fur babies as if they were your own. God bless! Here are some photos of Yuki during better days w/ Calum who loved him dearly and is lost without him. 😔 🌈

★★★★★ Five Stars — Exceptional Care When We Needed It Most I cannot express enough gratitude for the extraordinary care my dog and I received at VEG ER for Pets. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with a level of compassion, kindness, and professionalism that I will never forget. My fur baby had been deteriorating rapidly, and I was terrified that I was losing him. I had been desperately searching for answers, and for the first time, I genuinely felt heard. The veterinary team listened carefully to my concerns, took the time to understand his history, and developed a thorough, thoughtful plan of care. Every recommendation was explained clearly, and I was included in the decision-making process every step of the way. What touched me most was the tenderness with which they handled my baby. He was hurting, frightened, and vulnerable, and they treated him with such patience, gentleness, and respect. That alone meant more to me than words can express. We spent approximately six hours there, but somehow, it never felt like six hours. The staff checked on us constantly, offered snacks and drinks, and even made sure I had a phone charger. Those may seem like small gestures, but when you're sitting in an emergency hospital scared for your pet's life, they mean absolutely everything. Not once did I feel forgotten. Their financial transparency was equally remarkable. They were upfront about costs, carefully explained our options, and actually presented the most cost-effective approaches before discussing more expensive alternatives. I never felt pressured or taken advantage of. Instead, I felt respected, informed, and supported. I walked into VEG terrified that I was losing my best friend. I walked out feeling heard, reassured, and, most importantly, hopeful that my boy has a fighting chance. I will forever be grateful to the entire team for the exceptional medical attention they provided and the humanity they showed both of us. You didn't just care for my dog. You cared for me, too. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I cannot recommend VEG ER for Pets highly enough.

We had to bring Zoey in for an emergency, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to care for her. From the moment we arrived, both the veterinarian and the nurse assisting her were exceptional. During such a stressful time, they both showed great professionalism, empathy, patience, and, above all, treated Zoey with so much love and care.They kept us informed, answered all our questions, and made sure our baby received the attention she needed. We are extremely grateful for the way they treated us and for the reassurance they provided throughout the emergency. 🐾 **Excellent Team. We definitely recommend this veterinary clinic 100%.

My dog swallowed a santol pit. When I called this place in a panic, the vet was very calm & suggested I bring Eevee in for evaluation. I’m glad I did and not wait the following morning. They injected her to make her vomit and out came the pit. The staff was excellent, explained every detail of her treatment & very transparent with the cost. Very nice people that show care & compassion to both the dog & the guilt-ridden mom. I’m highly recommending this place.
