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.

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’d recommend this place to any of my animal loving friends & family for all of their pets emergencies. Brought in my dog, Bailey, last week for an allergic reaction & she was cared for immediately. Although my dog was scared (since she seen the vet twice in one day) they understood & was still able to work with her squirmy self. Bailey is doing so much better now & I have the vets at this establishment to thank!

I cannot thank everyone at VEG enough over the past 2 days. On Sunday morning, I had to take my dog there that ended up having a blockage in his intestines after getting into one of our cabinets while I was away. Although the wait was a bit longer than usual with it being Memorial Day weekend, they made sure both my dog Jordan and I were comfortable while we waited. Once we met with a doctor, they made sure to do an in depth examination while keeping him calm and near me which helped. They went over the treatment plan and payment plan options with me and made sure to answer the multitude of questions I had for them without making me feel like I was being annoying or wasting their time as they were extremely busy. I ended up having to keep my dog there, but they allowed me to come get him at 1:00am as I had wished once his treatments were done instead of making me keep him there overnight. Since unfortunately we could not get his obstruction to move, I did end up taking him back the next day. As soon as we arrived, multiple staff members greeted my dog Jordan by name and were very attentive right away when they saw us again which I greatly appreciated and was impressed with. They brought him a giant soft bed for him to rest on during the check in process. We were about to move forward with surgery, but the new doctor on shift wanted to double check imaging again to make sure it was necessary even when I told them to go ahead and do whatever they needed to just to get this out of my dogs system. I agreed to the plan or reimaging and am glad I did! We ended up getting the blockage to move, and with the medication provided we ultimately got it out of his system without surgical intervention (which we originally thought was necessary). I appreciate them saving me a ton of money instead of just moving forward with surgery right away! He is now resting at home. Shout out to Dr. Prada, Dr. Bugg, the very kind nurses/assistants (apologies that I cannot remember everyone’s name) and even the security guard for helping us! We LOVE you all!

Great experience all around! We took Jolene in on a busy Sunday after getting into a little scuffle with another pup and we were seen very quickly. All of our options and the cost of each option were explained to us and the tech answered all of the questions we had so that we could make a decision on how to treat Jolene’s wound. We decided to start by having the wound cleaned to asses the severity of it and our final decision was to give her a few staples to help her heal quicker. We were never pressured into choosing the more expensive option - I appreciated the integrity here! We were allowed to stay with Jolene the entire visit and they sent her home in a high quality cone to prevent her from trying to nip/scratch/or irritate the wound and interfere with the healing process - much appreciated!
I took Jolene back today to have the staples removed and it was another great experience! Alex greeted us at the door with a smile and took us back straight away. Our vet tech Sonny was so patient and great with Jolene. She was super friendly and even took the time to answer questions I had about one of our other dogs which I really appreciated.
So much love for the wonderful staff at VEG!

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.

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! ❤️

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!

ALL THE STARS for the incredible women at VEG who have helped me many times over the past few years.
No matter what time of night, how many questions asked and what the issue was the staff have always been incredibly patient, extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind.
Thank you Jessy for dealing with my initial panicked call and keeping me chill while waiting for test results.
Thank you to Dr Gaby for your calmness and explaining everything to me and for being a vet.
And thank you to Samantha for holding and comforting my wiggly, grape eating puppy when I was of no help. You are a Zen goddess!

I just visited Veg ER for Pets, and I had a great experience. The facility was very clean, and everyone there was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can really tell the staff genuinely care about the pets they treat. They made us feel comfortable and showed compassion throughout our visit. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality veterinary care.

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.

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!

The team at VEG took such fantastic care of our pitsky, Adele, when we had to rush her to emergency care twice over the span of a week for pale gums and bloody vomit. It was a scary time for us, but throughout Adele's overnight stay (where we got to stay right with her in a private room), we were reassured she was in expert hands with folks who were providing exceptional care as they diagnoses her with ulcers and gastritis. We received regular updates, thorough explanations of invoices & estimates, and streamlined communications. On our second visit, when we learned Adele needed more intensive care, the team quickly got us connected to MedVet so she could have a blood transfusion. I'm sorry I don't remember everyone's name who supported us, but Michael, Rowan, Chrissy, Kiandra (sp? ultrasound tech! and the tech in training!), Dr. Kruzova, Dr. Gulson, Dr. Billand, and the other doctors, nurses, and staff who supported overnight Monday 6/29 - Tuesday 6/30, as well as 7/5, all took such great care of Adele (and her moms!). The team was also super helpful with my follow up calls and questions. We cannot thank you enough for all have done for our sweet girl.

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! Mandy says thanks for taking care of her 🥰🐾

It's hard to find the right words to express how thankful we are for this entire team!! Our sick pup spent two nights here and our family spent many, many hours ourselves here. We must have met almost their entire team and every single one of them was kind, caring, smart, empathetic, calm, and straightforward about what our pup would need. It was truly incredible that they allowed people to stay with their pets- and still stayed calm with multiple emergencies at once and multiple humans watching them!!! I really don't know how they do it. Feel so, so lucky to have a VEG here in Littleton. Thank you all for providing life saving care to our guy Rocky❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹

Everyone here was incredibly kind and compassionate. I brought in a tiny wild baby bunny that my cat had caught after being turned away by several other places. Even though it was wildlife and not an animal they would normally treat, the entire team was still willing to take a look, care for the bunny, and do whatever they could to help, without charging me anything.
What touched me most was how much compassion everyone showed toward such a tiny life. The staff also helped reach out to wildlife rehabilitators to see if anyone could take the bunny. Unfortunately, because the bunny was so young and fragile, there wasn’t a rehab with the appropriate resources available to accept it. Even though there was only so much they could do, everyone genuinely tried.
I’m especially thankful to Phoebe, but I truly appreciate every single person who helped us that day. After being turned away by so many other places, seeing an entire team willing to spend their time and effort helping a tiny wild animal meant so much to me. You can tell that the people here genuinely care about animals, no matter how small they are or whether they are someone’s pet.
This experience left such a wonderful impression on me. If either of my cats ever needs emergency care, this will absolutely be one of the first places I consider. Thank you to everyone who helped and showed so much kindness to this little bunny. ❤️

Most definitely, THE BEST, place around if you're needing emergency care or just basic care for your pets, the staff that worked the night of our girls emergency were AMAZING, i sadly only remember one of their names (Julie Bulford) i think that's how you spell the last name. They never took our girl out of our site, they let us be involved in helping with her (optional) They never did any testing, treatments, medications, etc without asking first and also going over everything previously and making sure the price was okay with us before jumping the gun. I've never been to a vet with so much respect and compassion for our pets, i will continue to be a loyal customer to this place and also owing them our lives for saving our chihuahua (M.GiRl) Thank you guys SO MUCH all of you we're IMMACULATE

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.

They were the absolute best! Kind, caring, compassionate. My old boy scared the bejesus out of us with a tummy issue at the worst possible time, but they took great care of him and helped a stressed out fur mom with assistance for his bill, which I will absolutely be paying forward with a donation right back to them next week. If your companion needs care I highly recommend VEG ER in Clearwater. I also highly recommend you also donate to them if you have the means to, so they can continue doing their amazing work and helping companions and their humans! Manny says thank you!! 🩵

Everyone here is sooo kind and helpful and they made us feel more at ease about our sick kitten! We were helped immediately upon arrival and put into a comfy room. Dr. Hahn and all of the technicians were so friendly and knowledgeable and we loved being able to be with our kitten during most of the treatment. They communicated with us in detail throughout the process. Thank you guys for helping him! He is doing so much better after just one night!

These people are very concerned with your pet's needs. They are very respectful and want to do nothing more then help get our pets on recovery. They are also very passionate about the owners feelings and concerns. They're in this for our animals and not the money. Thanks again to EVERYONE at VEG in Chapel Hill, NC for getting Baby feeling better.

We are incredibly thankful for the VEG ER team and the amazing care they gave our Dr. Squiggles!
We took Dr. Squiggles in when we noticed he hadn’t been peeing, and we were extra stressed because he’s known for being very feisty at the vet. Squiggles did not hold back from showing the care team his intense spiciness, and yet the doctors handled him with understanding and care. They identified a urinary block and clearly laid out a treatment / care plan for us.
We’re sorry he gave the team a tough time (enough to break the ranking scale and warrant a new “Pepper X” designation), but he’s home now and is being a sweet bell pepper boy! We really appreciate VEG ER, and want to especially thank our care team: Dr. Wallach, Carla, Moira, Liz, and Maryan.

I can't express enough how thankful I am to the team at this veterinary clinic. When my cat Willow went into labor for the first time, what started as a hopeful situation turned into an emergency situation. The vet handled everything with professionalism and care, making sure both my cat and I felt supported throughout the processes. They have willingness to work with a payment plan, easing the financial stress during such a difficult time. Beyond the care for my cat they went above and beyond for myself. When I was leaving at 1 AM after a beyond exhausting and overwhelming few days I noticed I had a flat tire. When asking if I found a ride home and got it towed tomorrow if it would be okay to leave it overnight, instead a worker assisted me with AAA and helped all the way up to them arriving. This level of compassion and going the extra length is rare and speaks volumes about their dedication—not just to the animals they treat but to the owners as well. Every person I encountered at the clinic was genuinely so caring, they do their work out of love and commitment, not just as a job. I am forever grateful for their support and highly recommend this vet to anyone who wants compassionate, expert care for their pets. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We drove from Toledo and I can’t say enough good things about this place. From the moment Chapo and I walked in, everyone treated us like family. They were incredibly attentive to both Chapo and myself, made sure I was always in the loop, and even connected promptly with Chapos neurologist. What really stood out was how comforting they were and how much they genuinely cared. It’s handled so differently than anywhere else I’ve been. A truly safe and caring space when we needed it most. I 100% believe Chapo wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this place and the people that cared for him. Just wow.

Last week, after getting home from an evening event, we noticed our 17-year-old Chiweenie acting weird. To save the gore, it was apparent in the next couple of hours that he was declining very fast. Knowing he would not make it through the night and fearing him being in pain, we looked for an open overnight vet, VEG came up and had a really good reputation, and I’ve heard of them before from other friends and colleagues. Not too far away (Pflugerville) so we drove over to the Arboretum at 1 AM. My wife was afraid of saying goodbye to our old man in a sterile room with a metal table… We walked in and it’s a very different experience! Everything is right in front of you. They knew we were coming in, ushered us into a quiet room with two chairs and a shag carpet and dim lights. It was extremely comfortable and inviting and calm. Caitlin was our technician that evening, she was an absolute rockstar! Very sympathetic and professional. Even though we’ve experienced a loss with a close friend’s dog, they still made sure we understood everything that was coming ahead. They gave us plenty of time to say goodbye and we’re very supportive during the process. When we were ready, the doctor came in and visited with us and put our old man to rest. He lived a good, long life, outside of expiring very quickly that evening, this is the best possible way for him to have gone out. VEG provided and unparalleled experience in our time of loss and grief. They deserve 11 stars!

VEG treated my sick dog with so much compassion and love. Dr. Sparks, Dr. McReynolds, Katelyn, Elexis, Marykate and Candice all were amazing, helpful and kind. We were dealing with a lot of uncertainty and trying to soak in a lot of information. The team was so patient and helped guide me through a difficult weekend. My dog is so anxious in vet offices but they took such good care of her. I followed their treatment plan and she was better within a week’s time! Hoping she never gets sick again, but if she does, I will go to VEG immediately.

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

I am forever grateful to the entire team at VEG for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care they showed our beloved kitty, Bella.
We first came to VEG because Bella wasn't doing well, and our veterinarian suspected there might be something wrong with her spleen. Dr. Gabriela Reyes was the attending veterinarian that day. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what she believed Bella might be facing and treated Bella with such genuine care. An ultrasound was performed, and we returned home hoping for the best while waiting for the results.
Later that same night, Bella suddenly began gasping for air and could no longer move. We rushed her back to VEG immediately. By then, the ultrasound report had come back and confirmed our worst fear: Bella had a very aggressive cancerous tumor in her spleen, and surgery was no longer an option.
As heartbreaking as it was, our family made the difficult decision to let Bella go peacefully so she would no longer suffer.
Dr. Gabriela Reyes showed us extraordinary compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She gave us the time we needed, answered our questions with honesty and empathy, and helped make an impossible decision just a little more bearable. I will never forget her kindness.
The entire VEG staff was equally amazing. Every person we encountered treated Bella—and our family—with such dignity, warmth, and respect. They made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be.
While we wish the outcome had been different, I am deeply thankful that we found VEG. Thank you for caring for Bella with such love and for helping our family say goodbye with compassion. Bella will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget the kindness your entire team showed us during her final moments.

My sister who works for a vet office highly recommended them over the other long standing Vet ER in the area. When I walked in the staff immediately walked over started assessing my Great Dane while I was explaining to them what was going on. The staff and Dr.Rupiper were amazing. I never felt like an inconvience to them. They answered my questions and let me watch through a window when they did xrays. They worked with me and my budget and got me the answers that were needed. It was a little bit of a drive for me but was well worth it. Can’t recommend enough!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this veterinary emergency clinic. From the moment we arrived, the staff was quick, attentive, compassionate, and incredibly professional. They took the time to listen to our concerns, thoroughly assess our dog and keep us informed every step of the way.
The entire team was caring and efficient, which made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. It was clear that everyone genuinely cared about both our dog and our family. The level of service, kindness, and expertise we received was truly outstanding.
We are so grateful for the amazing care they provided and would highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of emergency veterinary care.

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 ❤️🐾

The most transparent veterinary care experience I have had (in WA, CA, or MI)! The facility has comfortable spaces for pets and people. The team kept me informed and invited me to be as hands-on as I wanted to be (with the exception of in the X-ray and operating rooms, but these had windows so I could see everything I cared to look at).
The team was compassionate, competent, and genuinely cared about my dog Fezzik and trying to get the best outcome. Dr. Cat was more than thorough (and had a banger of a playlist for operating) in the effort to get all the answers and find solutions for my pup.
Additionally, the estimate that I accepted and paid was slightly higher than the actual costs, and my credit card was refunded the difference the very next day.

I want to sincerely thank the entire team for the wonderful care they provided to my dog, Kira. From the moment we arrived, everyone was kind, professional, compassionate, and attentive.
The staff took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly examine Kira, and explain everything clearly. They made both of us feel comfortable during a stressful time, and I truly appreciated their patience and caring attitude.
It is clear that this team genuinely loves animals and is dedicated to providing excellent care. Thank you for treating Kira with such kindness and helping her feel better. I am very grateful for the support and exceptional service we received.
Highly recommended! ❤️❤️

VEG is amazing! The staff, the facilities and the care are phenomenal. You are met with compassion and genuine care for you and your pet. Humans should be treated this well by their physicians! Everything is explained, you are made to feel important and seen. The care and attention is exceptional. There was not one staff member that didn’t appear to have a positive attitude or genuine respect for the patients and their family. I was lucky to walk away with treatment and good news. I witnessed someone get not so good news- the care that the human and pet got was not only compassionate, it was beyond the call of duty. Exceptional Service in all aspects.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place deserved one. Brought my dog Scout in for vomiting and diarrhea, and honestly the experience exceeded every expectation I had for an emergency vet.
Everyone from the Scott who helped with the payments, to the technicians, and the amazing doctor was genuinely kind and treated Scout like he mattered. Before doing anything, they explained every recommendation, walked me through costs upfront, and answered my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured. The doctor was thorough, communicated clearly, and made sure I left knowing exactly what to watch for. Most importantly, it felt like they cared for Scout like he was their own pet, not just another patient coming through the door.
Emergency vet care isn't cheap, but I left feeling like every dollar was well spent on a team that actually cared about getting Scout the right outcome.
Wouldn't hesitate to bring him back if he ever needed emergency care again. Hope I never have to. Thank you. 🐾

I can’t even begin to explain my gratitude and thanks to Dr. Pfeiffer, Dr. Runte and the entire staff at VEG. On Wednesday my sweet dachshund Murphy began to show signs of pain and difficulty walking. Dr. Pfeiffer assessed him and diagnosed him with likely IVDD. She explained everything and gave me clear return precautions and discharge instructions. On Thursday night Murphs symptoms progressed and I called VEG and they told me to bring him back in. Dr. Runte quickly assessed Murphy and explained everything that was happening. Dr. Runte called Animal Medical Center of Seattle and got me an emergency appointment with the neurologist on Friday morning and Murphy then had emergency surgery that night.
This was a terrifying experience and Murphy has a long road to recovery ahead but I am so grateful for the doctors and staff at VEG who took such good care of my boy and supported me while I was there. Highly recommend VEG.

Our sweet Stella had to go to VEG ER Frisco on June 6th around 4am. She had given birth to (6) pups at home, but the (7) pup had not been birth after (3) hours. During the process of her giving birth, I called their office to ask a few question (first timer here) and Dr. Koons was very informative through what to expect. After making the right call, the (7) baby could not make it into this world at home and we headed to see Dr. Koons in person. She had the room all ready for us when we arrived. When I say her and all other staff went above and beyond for us is an understatement. Dr. Koons is a genuine soul that puts care and detail into all
she does. We knew Stella was at least pregnant with 10 pups. After the 10th was born at the ER (past Dr. Koons shift), she went back for an x-ray, surprise, we had two more!! Y’all!! Twelve puppies!! Thank you, Kaitlyn, Arianna, Abby, Beth, Dr. Koons and Dr. Nelson for the outstanding service and care of our family/pups. Everything was performed right in front of us and that was important not to be shut in a room while our Stella was behind closed doors in another room. Since birth, I have called back serval times when our regular vets office was closed. Outstanding service each time. My heart cannot express our gratitude enough!! Sincerely - Stella & Family paws up - high five 🐾♥️🙌👏

It's hard to find the right words to share how grateful I am to VEG for being there and helping my very sick dog get better. They are attentive and kind, professional and very knowledgeable. I am grateful to the whole staff with a particular shoutout to Dr. G., Dr. McCorkel, Dr. Vossler, CEC Maddi, and Nurse Jenny. Thank you for taking such great care of my very nervous dog. It is such a relief to have access to such a reputable practice when needed in an emergency as well as for phone consults/having my questions answered. Thank you so much for being here for us!!

I stayed with my cat Marco a majority of his 36 hour stay at VEG and encountered a few different shifts of nurses and doctors. Every single person on those teams were welcoming and understanding beyond my expectations. I never once felt like he wasn’t in the best possible care. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for better treatment during and after his procedure thank you everyone so so much.

Went to VEG ER in Elk Grove, CA on Sunday 6/21/26. Let me start with they were absolutely wonderful! I have heard great things from friends in the vet field and I follow the VEG instagram as well. They definitely did not disappoint. My soul dog, Lilly, has kidney disease and heart disease and was fitting the symptoms for possible kidney failure. Nolan did our intake and was very kind and down to earth. Dr. Huntyr Mcmurty was Lilly’s doctor and she was compassionate, kind, caring, and listened very well. Dr. Mcmurty laid out what our options are and we agreed to proceed with blood work to check kidney values and go from there.after blood work supporting what I expected, extremely increased kidney values, Dr. Mcmurty explained our next options for hospital care or supportive care until humane euthanasia, of which we decided to do the latter since Lilly is 15.5yrs old. Overall the experience, as hard as it is to be with your sick fur baby, was very pleasant because of the wonderful care team and staff. I regret that I didn’t catch everyone’s name that helped Lilly, but each person was exceptional. All this to say it was very busy, a bit short staffed, and yet they still managed to remain calm, triage very well, and provide excellent care. If anyone needs an emergency vet I will always recommend VEG.
Oh and those curious of pricing: with a sick and elderly dog I already expect to pay at least $500, and with ER vets I thought it would be significantly more, but was under $600 for an exam, blood work, medication, and subcutaneous fluids. So in my opinion very reasonable and well priced.
Thank you VEG for all you do. Vets, vet techs, nurses, assistants, you are all amazing and no amount of praise can describe my gratitude towards you all. Thank you ❤️

I had to bring my dog Pudding in on the 4th of July for an anal gland that looked like it was about rupture through the skin. Eddy (vet assistant) was quick and very nice helping us get checked in. Our nurse Tony was knowledgeable, gentle and efficient with my dog who was in pain. Dr. Watson was very mindful and gave great after care advice and care during the procedure. I’ve always heard nothing but great things from pet owners about VEG Boynton specifically and fortunately/unfortunately have had excellent care from them with my dog also! Thanks VEG Boynton!
