I want to thank Dr. Ashby and all of the nurses who took amazing care of my Demi! She came in with signs of Pyometra and after testing it was confirmed. She then went for a same day spay and I was extremely nervous and anxious. Dr. Ashby was so reassuring and I truly trusted her and the nurses. They treated her like their own and gave her so much love. I couldn’t have asked for better care for her!! I was also able to stay overnight with her while she recovered which was so great to be able to do! They helped me with all my questions and I feel relieved knowing I can come here for any emergency and my dogs will be treated with so much love and care!🫶🏼🐾

Fast Eddie had 7 seizures Tuesday, including one when we first arrived at AEG. The care was incredible. I can't explain how great the entire Staff was, except they made us feel like he was their dog, while also attending to all the other pets. Such great care!!! I am a real person, and today, Fast Eddie is comfy right at home. Thank you AEG, St. Peters, Mo.

Dobby has an inflammation for his foreskin also with little bit bleeding. We were so anxious and worried about him keep licking himself ( already booked the appointment for next morning but still feel need to buy an Elizabeth collar) Thank you Dr. Anderson for helping out! We were in such an anxiety so I kind of lost my ability to organize my language. Every one is super helpful and nice to us, I hope this place goes well and everyone be safe!

So thoroughly impressed with this Pet ER. Had to bring my Bearded Dragon for a emergency visit and left feeling confident and appreciative about her care. The Doctor, Foster was very thorough with my Sassy and I never felt like I was being rushed to make a choice for my Lizard. All the Vet Techs that were involved in her care were also very thorough and caring for her condition. The Customer service lady was top notch as well. She got us a room and quickly took down why we were there and not once made us feel like we were a burden. Prices were very reasonable and it did not feel like we were being price gouged. Multiple options for payments and payment plans was a fantastic extra that I did not see coming. I loved the team that was there for us and our Sassy. 100% plan on coming back for ANY animal emergency.

My experience at VEG ER was one in a million! Everything and everyone was absolutely amazing. The care My baby received was beyond any expectations I had. The open concept is amazing. It also helps to see how they care for other patients. It helps you relax and reassures you that your pet will receive the same treatment. I believe Chloe recovered faster because I was able to stay with her. She was admitted for 2 days. I will recommend this emergency vet hospital to everyone who asks me. As far as pricing, im not sure what the going rate is for this kind of service but I don't regret having to pay it. I was able to use care credit to pay it.

Brought my dog to VEG after ingesting her toy. Dr Blohm was wonderful and kind. Walked me through her plan to make her vomit so it wouldn’t cause a blockage. Major success! My dog is happy and ready to eat her next foreign body. 10/10 recommend

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.

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!

Our dog needed care for an infected, newly discovered wound late Saturday night. We were greeted by kind staff who directed us to an open bay with a comfortable place for me to sit and a dog bed for my pet. I wasn’t used to the open vet setting where we could hear most conversations with owners there and see most interactions. But it was comforting to know other worried pets & parents were treated so well. I was informed of everything about my dog’s condition and given time to ask questions. An estimate was texted to me. I didn’t have to leave my dog when he was taken to a procedure table in center of the facility and in view of all. He was given adequate sedation during the procedure and sent home with pain meds snd antibiotics. I regret I can’t recall names of the 2 kind, knowledgeable vets working with us. But the awesome staff were Gabbie and Nancy. I have a healing broken bone and Nancy even got my dog in the car for me. Hopefully we never need another emergency vet visit- but if we do, we will definitely come to VET.

We had an excellent experience at VEG ER with our Loki. The team was careful, thorough, and detail-oriented throughout the visit. They clearly explained everything, and never tried to upsell us on unnecessary tests or treatments. They had all needed testing and diagnostics in-house and able to be done that night. They diagnosed the issue and provided the medicine needed to resolve it. I would absolutely bring him back if we ever need emergency vet care again.

VEG was competent, helpful and kind. They act quickly and seem to genuinely care about our bunny. The price for the service was reasonable as well. I recommend them and will go back if I need to.

VEG is the place to go for your fur babies. I have come here several times and the treatment for both owner and pet is exceptional! The facility is very clean each time I was there. I wouldn't go anywhere else. If you want the best care for your pet, Veterinary Emergency Group is the place. You will not regret it. The staff is the most caring people I have ever met at any Veterinary office. I really can't say enough about my experience there. Thank you for always giving my baby the best care and experience in such a crucial time. You guys Rock! Josephine Colon

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!

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.

They are amazing. Make her feel so welcome to provide blankets and towels and food and IVs that can be moved so she can sit by the window and in the private room we can visit her 24 seven the staff and the doctors are so welcoming and kind and accommodate for any needs, and they make her feel safe and provide private rooms with multiple things that you can use to feed help sleep and pee in.

This was my second visit to VEG with my senior German Shepherd, Juno, and once again they exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with kindness, compassion, and genuine care. What stands out most is that they never make you feel like just another appointment. They take the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and make sure both you and your pet feel cared for. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. Every doctor, technician, and team member shows up with so much compassion and passion for what they do. As a pet owner, especially when you’re worried, that level of empathy means everything. I’m so grateful to have VEG nearby and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Juno again. Thank you for taking such incredible care of her.

VEG emergency vets was a savior for our elderly dog today . He's 13 and was in such pain all night he could not lie down, he paced and panted. He has arthritis and joint pain . VEG got him on meds to make him comfortable so our son who's had him since the first grade could spend a bit more time with him . I truly didn't expect to bring him home but he's wagging his tail at our son and eating . We know we are going to say good bye soon but not today . We were able to help make decisions. We were giving an option for X-rays but asked if we could just try meds to get him comfortable. They were totally okay with that . They made us feel comfortable and seeing them care for other pets as well was a experience that reassured us we took him to the right place ! This facility is top notch and was so needed in our area. Prices were very reasonable for emergency pet care. Thank you VEG ❤️❤️

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! ❤️

Both of my cats have been admitted overnight. The most recent one was the scariest. He was very close to death and they were very quick to take care of him. They monitored him so well and gave him all the things to make him better. We slept there with our cats both times and it has been amazing each time. They are not only attentive to your animals, but to you as well. They genuinely care about you and your animals wellbeing. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone

I had a great experience at VEG South Tampa yesterday. I brought my morkie in to get checked because she was throwing up for 24 hours. Mikayla at the front desk was so kind, empathetic, and prompt with each patient that came in. My dog was in triage shortly after check in. Within the hour, it went from calm to extremely busy. With that being said, please note that your case will be pushed back if your pet is stable & there are more critical cases that are brought in! As someone who is a pet owner and lover, I completely understand and if my pet were in critical condition, I really hope that they’d prioritize that! The wait times could be long, but they do give you the option to leave your dog in the kennels and come back when results are ready. They offer snacks and drinks in the lobby if you decide to stay! Dr. Moses did great assessing my dog, but Dr. Davison took over by the end of the night. As I watched 10 or more people shuffle in and out, I witnessed Dr. Davison explain in great detail the plan of care for each and every animal, all of which was explained with deep compassion for whatever the situation entailed. Every question and concern answered without any pressure to make certain decisions. We need more vets like this! Estevan was my nurse and he did a great job making sure my dog was okay to leave and had everything she needed. Thank you to the team at VEG South Tampa for a great experience under not so great circumstances.
