The whole team here is absolutely wonderful. I had to bring in my senior rat for respiratory issues and unfortunately she had to be put down. They were so kind and helpful through the whole process, gave me plenty of options and then gave me as much time as I needed to sit with my girl until I was ready to let go. They sent her off to cremation for me and the service they are partnered with for this is also really great. 10/10 experience with them I highly recommend. Thank you VEG care team ❤️

The staff were very nice and helpful. I recommend their office for any of your pet emergencies after hours. They treated Hondo as if he was their Dog. Thank you.

VEG took great care of our cat who was blocked due to FIC, they took quick action, answered all of our questions, and went over everything with us in extreme detail. It was a wild experience to be in the room with them while they triaged our cat and other animals, we stepped out during the procedure but you can stay with your pet the entire time if your choose to. All of the staff were incredibly calm and friendly every time we visited our cat and the doctors were there on the phone to give any updates when we called to check in. Thank you so much to their incredible team, our kitty Licorice is feeling so much better. Thanks for being so kind and taking such good care of him. We can’t thank you enough.

I've lived in NWA for over 20 years and finally have emergency pet care that I Love at VEG ER!! I've brought three different animals to this Pet ER and the kindness and comfort not only goes to the care of the pet but also to the pet "parents". The staff greet you at the door, assist you if needed and bring you bottled water. For my first visit, I brought a turtle in that had swallowed a fishing hook. It was too deep for us to safely get out. The Veterinarian at the time, I'm sorry I forgot his name, was so awesome! He kept the turtle, removed the hook and returned it back to exactly where my grandson caught him. The doctor called me to share the good news! I knew during and after my first visit with VEG ER that I was coming back with my next pet that needed emergency care and I did. The second visit, I brought my little Chihuahua in and PET ER was quick to tend to him and were so careful handling him. It was a pleasant visit even for my Karson. The third visit was during the middle of the night and we were anxious. VEG ER, Shyenne, greeted us at the door per usual and got us settled and Dr Majors tended to Princess right away. Dr Majors listened to our concerns and addressed them all. She answered all of our questions and put our minds at ease. The diagnosis was clear and we were given more than one plan of action to choose from for Kitty's care. Shyenne was awesome in helping us with understanding the medicine measurements and she even gave Princess the first doses. VEG ER is the ONLY place that I am going to take my pets to for emergency care. I wish they had an everyday clinic as well. If you want exceptional, professional and loving care for your pet, then VEG ER is the place to go! They care about you too! I'm so thankful I found them! 🐢🐕🐈‍⬛💜

Visited them today because my dog swallowed a big piece of pork bone. None of my previous dogs had ever done anything like this, so I was honestly freaking out. I searched around and decided to go with VEG ER in Anaheim since they had the highest reviews. It was a bit of a drive, but 100% worth it. The staff and doctors were all super friendly, and the clinic was really clean, organized, and had an open layout that made it feel less stressful. Everyone took the time to explain what was going on, and I never felt pressured into anything. One thing I really appreciated was how transparent they were with pricing. After discussing the treatment options, they texted me a rough estimate before moving forward. The emergency exam fee was around $200, and the Maropitant 10 mg/mL injection to make him throw up was about another $200, plus the other medication and treatment fees. My total came out to about $835. They were very upfront about the costs, and they also accept CareCredit if you need it. The injection worked, and my dog threw up a decent amount of the bone, but there were still some pieces left. I decided not to do a second round because the medication can make them pretty drowsy, and I didn’t want to put him through more unless it was absolutely necessary. For now, I’ll just be monitoring him closely and hoping he digests the rest without any issues. Hopefully I never have to come back for another emergency, but if I do, this will definitely be the place I go. Thank you to everyone at VEG for taking such good care of my pup and helping calm an anxious dog mom. 10/10, highly recommend ✨

The amazing team at VEG saved my best friend and I will forever be indebted to them (both literally and figuratively 😅). I called in a panic that my 12year old pitbull may have bloat, and staff on the phone suspected the same, so we sped right over. Within minutes of arrival, the vet techs had done scans to confirm her stomach was indeed twisting and she needed surgery immediately. It was all-hands-on-deck to swiftly get her catheterization lines placed and release gas from her abdomen to give her some relief while the operating suite was being turned over from another surgery. I was allowed to stay with my baby as they prepped her, which was unexpected and deeply appreciated (despite how upsetting it is to see your baby go limp with sedatives and get intubated). They recognized a possible adverse reaction to the sedative within minutes and quickly reacted to address it. They kept me appraised of every step they'd be taking, then gave updates throughout the surgery. By some miracle, (really by the magic of the talented VMDs there), my old lady not only survived a major complication, (total splenectomy), but also came through surgery and recovered swiftly. I was even allowed to stay with her post-op in her kennel, which was another unexpected and happy surprise to me. I went from thinking it was time to say goodbye to my beloved old girl, to bringing her home less than 24hours later. I write this review 1-week post-op, with my old lady happily snoring next to me, and am certain this wouldn't be the case if not for how well-trained and impressive VEG staff is. Every extra moment with this girl is priceless, and VEG gave me time I didnt think I'd be getting as soon as I knew her diagnosis at this age. THANK YOU VEG!!

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 brought in my pet on a holiday and even though it was busy the staff did a great job at handling the amount of animals and families! I was really pleased with their attentiveness and kindness! I felt comfortable leaving my pet in their care and trusted they were doing right by us

The best emergency care I've ever received. We arrived around 7am and had zero wait and were seen immediately. Dr. Jaclyn and the tech were extremely kind and knowledgeable. Having a senior dog is not for the faint of heart and they took all my concerns with seriousness and compassion. They text you the estimate for your care so you're able to view it and decide in private what works best for you. They also offer Affirm payment plans which was a huge relief. I left the clinic feeling confident in my dog's care and treatment plan and that he was already on the road to recovery. Huge thank you to everyone there. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with any pet emergency. Thank you ❤️

I had to take Sia, my cat to VEG today because VCA Animal Hospital on Bradshaw does not have a doctor. I thought my cat was in respiratory distress because she got a cold and was breathing like she was distressed last night. I did not sleep at all and I was very stressed out and concerned for her. Upon arrival they called a doctor right over who assessed her and told me she was not in respiratory distress and put us in a private room where more vital signs were taken. We saw a doctor in less than 10 minutes and we were assured the cold needed to run it's course and she would not recommend antiviral medication. The doctor said we could take her home. I thought we would get a huge bill but she said there was no cost because they didn't do anything. But, they did a great service for me and my husband because we had piece of mind that our furbaby was not going to die. The fact that they took her immediately to see a doctor for triage to determine if she needed oxygen was very impressive. I was in tears. All staff who checked out my cat, Sia, did a wonderful job. I truly appreciate this service being here in Elk Grove and I highly recommend this emerging service for all furbabies.

My kitty Zedd was having trouble breathing and we were really worried about him and couldn’t get him in anywhere else so we decided to take him over to VEG to get him some help. The entire experience was absolutely amazing. They got him in as soon as we walked in the door and they got him on Oxygen ASAP and ran through their check up. The vets were incredibly transparent through the entire process and they did not go crazy charging extra money on anything. I really appreciate the extra special care they took and I was right by his side throughout the entire process. I’m so happy we decided to rush him here rather than taking him to the normal vet and potentially having to wait while his breathing got worse. We learned that he has asthma and they went through all the steps with me on how to take care of our baby and make sure he was back to feeling better and breathing easier. Not only could I see the quality care they were giving to my kitty but also all the other animals at the clinic. Highly recommend VEG to anyone else who needs emergency care for their pet and knowing good well that they will do a spectacular job! Thank you so much for making our boy feel more like himself again! :)

Dr Dodd and Paris were great! My pup has pancreatitis confounded by atypical Addison’s and he was super nauseated and uncomfortable even after treatment at a nearby vet. The VEG ER team completed a limited ultrasound to rule out anything unexpected and gave him meds to make him comfortable. We’re in from out of town and I’ve been so worried that I couldn’t sleep — so by improving his comfort they helped the whole family.

All the technicians and the Dr. were extremely gentle, friendly and caring with my shy, scared cat. They did the labs right there so we could begin the necessary treatment without having to ‘endure’ another car ride in the carrier. The doctor explained the tests and treatment options well, and I was given information on what to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. The exam, treatment and explanations were not rushed and I felt all my questions were answered. I was very impressed with everyone and everything.

From techs to doctors, I truly cannot speak highly enough of the staff at this VEG location. My sweet boy recently experienced a very sudden and traumatic illness, and he received phenomenal care from the moment he walked through the door until he was able to come home 3 days later. We were provided with clear, direct communication throughout the entire treatment process, and costs (though high, as is the nature of emergency care) were always transparent. The staff are thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. The hospital itself is open concept which allows you to stay with your pet during their exam and procedures, greatly reducing their stress level. In the event of an emergency, rest assured that there is no better place your animal could be!

My mother rushed my dog Chunk here for a possible seizure. I wasn’t home so I arrived just behind her. Where Emma introduced herself and advised she would be checking his vitals. He sounded good and for the moment he looked well, just excited. They told me they’d watch him for now - they were prepared if he had another episode. I didn’t think he had experienced one based off the video my mother produced, but since I was there I decided to stay and be safe rather than sorry. It was 855P. They already had 7 other patients ahead of us. They did advise me for now, since he was stable they would watch and check on him every so often, but they did have a few trauma response cases ahead of us. While there, another two trauma cases came in. They were swamped, but the team they had that night (Dr Basit, Emma, Adriana, Nekisha, and Stephanie) had a great flow going. They were all attentive to everyone as much as they could be. And they did well working with each other ! Like a team that actually enjoyed working with each other. Dr Basit did mention they were a new facility (opened a month ago) and she was the only doctor they had overnight right now. They did have an area for refreshments. They offered to bring some and advised that it was available to me if I would like. Nekisha had been bitten and wasn’t there when I arrived. She came in after being checked out to come back and help the team. I did hear them collectively thank her. They checked in on Chunk every so from a near and far - he was really just relaxing. When I was finally seen for a full assessment it was 1210A. Dr Basit was especially kind and thanked me for waiting patiently. She did a full assessment on Chunk who was good to go ! I couldn’t not leave a review. The staff was too good at what they do. Thank you ladies for an amazing job !!!

The friendliest vet staff I can imagine!!! So kind, compassionate, and they truly love what they do!! I love the open concept so I'm never left wondering what is going on. I'm so grateful for the treatment we've received so far, and they're making this the absolutely best as we navigate this chocolate mishap with my little guy. From the front desk, nurse, assistant, and doctor, 5/5 stars!

The veg team did an exceptional job! Every time we’ve come here, the service is always over the top! They are all very caring and attentive to not only the dogs needs, but also our needs as well! CEC Zara was very welcoming, nurse Dina was very attentive, and Dr. Conn was very empathetic very good at listening to our concerns at a time where we were nervous and scared. She offered wonderful solutions and she worked with us to help our dog get better! We had to go in two days in a row first time being our dog was in pain and very anxious and Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in, Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an amazing job. Thank you so much to you and your incredible team. We are super appreciative to you all! 🙏🏻 something else I love about veg is that they don’t take your pet out of sight. You’re able to see them pretty much at all times while they’re caring for them. If your Pet is experiencing an emergency, I would definitely not even think twice and bring them here to veg for any of their emergency needs!

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

Our old boy Squatty lived a long, but hard life. He happily shared his last three years with us with such love and loyalty. Saying goodbye to him was hard, but the kind and caring staff were with us through it all. They involved us in every step taken in Squatty’s comfort and passing. The team at VEG ER are beyond amazing! They truly love their work and truly care for our pet-kiddos. Thank you so much for your help in such a trying time. We left there feeling lifted by compassion and the peacefulness of our boy. 🐕💙 Godspeed, Squatty!

I had a great experience during my ER visit with my baby Yorkie, Logan. I brought him in because he was in respiratory distress, which was extremely scary and stressful. From the moment we walked in, he received prompt attention, and I was so grateful for how quickly the team responded. Dr. Elsinger was our ER veterinarian, and she was incredibly kind, helpful, compassionate, and attentive throughout the entire visit. She helped make a very stressful situation feel a little more manageable, and I truly appreciated the care she provided to Logan. The services were definitely pricey, but it is an emergency veterinary hospital, so be prepared and bring that credit card! 😂 When it comes to making sure your fur baby is okay, though, it’s worth it. Most importantly, I’m just incredibly grateful that my baby is okay and safe. Thank you, Dr. Elsinger, and the entire team for your compassion, prompt care, and for everything you do for our fur babies! ❤️🐾
