My 7 month old pup had a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting. 2 hours were spent here. Efficient care for a reasonable price. I do feel like they will rapidly out grow the space they are in currently. Several dogs but all dogs and owners behaved very well.

My kitty is struggling with gastro-intestinal issues and was having a bad day. It was a busy holiday weekend and I decided to try this VEG location since it was closer than my regular vet. I am SO thankful I brought him here. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and got me and my cat to Dr. Crossfield very quickly. The facility is brand new, very clean, and efficient. I got to stay with my cat throughout all of the diagnostics and treatment he received (IV meds/fluids/ultrasound) and I think it made a big difference in his temperament. Dr. Crossfield was very thorough and helped to stabilize my cat. He sent me home with medication that has been working well so far. I was also pleased that the cost was rather moderate for emergency care! Highly recommend this place!

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!

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

I have often found the other emergency vets in the area have staff too undertrained and not equipped to deal with actual procedures. When my cat accidentally swallowed a six inch piece of string at 12:30am Saturday, I debated about calling any of them for an hour. Then I remembered there was a new one I saw on Dorset Street. It was a very long night and they had to try a couple methods, but they were all so calm and pleasant and prepared to actually treat the problem there. Surgery was not necessary but they were ready if it came to that. None of the ‘sorry we can’t do that here you’ll need to wait to see your regular vet in two days’ I’ve gotten from the other places. I was so emotional and drained and dreading the wait for her procedure, but the rooms are equipped with futons! They even have pillows and blankets! I was able to relax and just focus on keeping my cat comfortable. This is a place that understands how exhausting the stress can be and how many people will spend the night unwilling to leave their pets. Their facilities are clean and everything is thought of; I was too upset to eat but I did see they had a variety of snacks and amenities. I’m so glad I made the call and gave VEG a chance. My cat was back to herself and string-free when I got her home. The cost is high but that is simply the nature of an emergency vet and was expected. Luckily we have pet insurance to cover some and they take CareCredit. Really glad VEG is in the area now.

We took our little pitty dog to the ER because she had a laceration right above her eye. We very much appreciated how kind and professional every single vet tech was with us. We loved the open floor plan of the clinic. We loved being able to be part of the process. Vet techs were very competent. We very much appreciated learning that our veterinarian had been trained at one of the best programs in the country. Her suture skills were really good (excellent). Better than we had experience many times in the past with our other dogs. Anesthesia protocol was very good.

My husky was severely lethargic and had been throwing up for over 24 hours. He was in so much pain. After 2 long nights of laying in the floor with him and wondering if we could make it to our primary care vet, I decided it was time to get him some help. I called several places and ended up taking him here by the direct recommendation of the doctor, who was willing to talk to me on the phone! I am SO glad I did. I can’t say enough about the medical team here. Everyone was very thorough and made my dog and I comfortable from the very beginning. Unlike some ER vet places, they don’t try to sell you things, or treat you like a number. Most importantly, they were eager to listen to ALL of the details I had for them regarding my baby, and they genuinely cared. I am so grateful to have found this place, it was worth driving the extra 20 minutes for me!

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 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.

When one of my worst fears came true and my cat Penny experienced a life-threatening urinary obstruction at 3am, her VEG team not only saved her life but also showed a level of compassion and dedication that’s hard to find elsewhere. Thank you so much to her team — Dr. E, Dr. Neal, Dr. Caldwell, Megan, Hannah, Nola, and everyone else involved in her care — for taking such incredible care of Penny and turning one of the most terrifying experiences of my life into one where I left feeling relieved, with my best friend still by my side. Her doctors performed life-saving surgery before dawn and went above and beyond in every aspect of her care, including patiently answering my endless list of questions. Her technicians were incredibly kind, hardworking, knowledgeable, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed to be as comfortable as possible during our stay. As any emergency visit understandably is, our visit was expensive, but the team helped me save money in every way they could. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for VEG. I’ll never forget the compassion, skill, and reassurance they showed me during the scariest night of my life.

So grateful for everyone who works here. As far as emergency vets go it was reasonably priced. My 19 year old baby got in a fight with our younger cat the other week and she had a really bad infected wound. I called around to 3 other emergency vets around midnight that said they weren’t taking new patients. At VEG they told me they don’t do that. They have you sit there with your pet while they treat them. They showed so much love and goodness to my baby and to me. Now she is back to herself and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her. Thank you all!!!

I am super impressed with this vet ER! The place looks very hospital-ish and everyone is communicating and helping others. There were other families and dogs being take care of around me, but it never felt like we were being ignore in order to treat others. The hospital manager was great, she was going around asking everyone how they were doing, offering drinks and snacks, she even provided me with a charger for my phone since I forgot mine and my phone was dying. They explained everything they were doing with Bella to me and made sure I understood what the test, med or result was! They took x-rays and ultrasound on my Bella and they did amazing! She usually squirms and gets annoyed when other people try to hold her down or flip her on her back, but they did amazing! Overall I am super impressed by the care for both pets and their humans! If I could make this my permanent vet, for routine things I would! I would absolutely drive the hour just to go to them! 💚 Thank you to all of the people making sure our fur babies are healthy and happy! 🐶💚

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

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.

I’m late on writing a review but I also wanted to give an update on my sweet baby Missy! Words can’t describe how grateful I am for this place and the nurses and doctors. My Missy was seen last November for severe subcutaneous emphysema caused by another vet’s negligence. Missy is my soul cat I couldn’t imagine losing her due to something that could have been prevented, she’s my world and my reason I’m here. The nurses and doctors were so compassionate and empathetic they KNEW how important it was to save Missy. They were honest about everything up front and kept me updated all through the night through text or a call. I can’t remember the doctors name that first took Missy that night but I do remember dr shoemaker taking over her care the next morning and he was amazing, his aftercare plan was great and Missy made a full recovery and she’s better than ever. Her new vet who recommended VEG saw her for a check up after her ER visit and said she might have some residual damage from the trachea tear but other than that she’s been so much better. She’s still her very loving self and still so playful with her brother! I will be forever grateful for everyone at VEG for saving my baby girl. Also I was quoted 3k to start treatment for her and they knew money was tight for me but when I came back to get her they were actually able to treat her less than that and was able to put money back into my pocket. They could have lied and took all the money and not helped Missy and said there was nothing they could do but they didn’t. The integrity of this place and commitment of this medical team goes beyond 4 stars! Here’s some recents pictures of Missy! She’s doing great and clean bill of health!

It has taken me a little bit to write this. This emergency vet, they are kind, compassionate, and empathetic... I am grateful for them and their staff. We live in Casa Grande, there is no ER vet.. VEG was the closest at just over an hr away (due to traffic at the time on the I-10). I called to tell them we were coming with our 91lb German Shepherd who collapsed, had very pale gums and was drooling profusely. They told me to let them know when we arrived and they would come out and carry her in. They did just that. Immediately asked if we wanted resuscitation since she had stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Said "please know it's not all about money, but I do need to make you aware of the fee for resuscitation" I truly felt it wasn't about money, but they had to let us know.. kept coming to us to give us updates, asked if we needed anything, gave real but compassionate possible outcomes. Eventually found she had fluid in her chest cavity due to a ruptured tumor on her spleen that we were unaware she had. They were so kind, so apologetic.. not one word from their staff sounded insincere. Though our baby girl didn't make it, I saw for myself how much this staff cares. I couldn't have asked for more, except that there was one closer to us. Thank you all for trying to save Senshii, she was loved so very much and thank you for your kindness in every aspect of our visit.

What started as an extremely difficult and emotional day ended in a level of kindness I haven’t experienced in a very long time. My dog had an emergency early this morning, and after months of ongoing stress and hardship, I was already overwhelmed. From the moment I walked in, I was met with compassion, patience, and genuine care. Dr. Ayoub was incredibly kind, thorough, and thoughtful—taking the time to explain everything and making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Caitlin at reception was phenomenal and truly a gem / angel on earth. Thank you for chatting with me while I was so nervous. Every single person I interacted with treated me with such warmth that I found myself overwhelmed with emotion—in the best way. They took amazing care of my Suki, and I left not only with peace of mind, but with a sense of hope and positivity that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I will recommend this team to anyone and everyone. It’s clear they truly love animals—and just as importantly, they care for the people who love them. Dr. Ayoub, I will never forget your compassion and kindness. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion we received at VEG ER for Pets during one of the most difficult moments with my dog, Poet. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was calm, kind, and incredibly supportive. They acted quickly to stabilize him and kept me informed every step of the way in a way that was clear and easy to understand, even while I was overwhelmed and emotional. I especially want to recognize Jasmine, who went above and beyond. I was extremely distraught after learning Poet had been diagnosed with Addison’s disease and could not stop crying. She took the time to comfort me, explain everything thoroughly, and help me regain a sense of calm. Her compassion felt genuine and grounding during a very frightening experience. Every single person we interacted with showed patience, empathy, and professionalism. They didn’t just treat my dog—they supported me as an owner going through something heartbreaking. They truly made me feel cared for like family. I’m deeply grateful for the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an emergency with their pet.

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🩷

My dog Pico was sick for 3 days this week. We went in for a visit on Monday and were released to go home for outpatient care; when Pico didn’t improve, we came back on Tuesday and stayed for two nights. Even though my dog was sick and it was a stressful situation, my time at VEG ER was a fantastic experience from start to finish. There’s nothing I would change because it was perfect. The VEG staff is amazing and I admire their dedication to patients and animals. My husband also brought our dog Jack here in February (I was out of town for the day and was unfortunately unable to be there). Jack sadly had to be euthanized, but the care that we received during that visit and after the visit was remarkable and generous. I wish I got everyone’s names to compliment them all personally! Dr. Brough, Dr. Smith and Dr. Nacke-Horney were all fantastic and thorough. Patty and Jenna were warm and welcoming. All of the other vet techs were great and quick to help. I really appreciate everyone helping Pico and dealing with his GI issues. I know it required a lot of cleaning.

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

We had as good as possible experience with all of the staff at VEG ER H St over our cat’s several day stay with them. They were attentive and caring toward us and our cat even when the clinic was busy and they allowed us to visit at any time. They provided soft bedding in his space and also allowed us to bring clothes and blankets from home to keep him more comfortable. They were able to stabilize him and get him back home to us with instructions for his care and a certificate for his bravery. Very sweet staff!! 🖤

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’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!

The most welcoming and compassionate pet hospital we’ve ever visited. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and our little girl, Vivi, was immediately triaged. Two vet technicians and a veterinarian examined her right away, carefully gathered her history, and made sure she received pain medication as quickly as possible. Hannah, the technician manager, was absolutely wonderful. During the chaos of the traumatic incident, Vivi had a potty accident, and tech Hannah gently cleaned her up with such kindness and dignity. The compassion we witnessed throughout our whole visit felt so genuine and heartfelt. We were also given a soft towel to wrap Vivi in while we waited, a small gesture that meant so much during such a stressful time. Kim at the front desk, along with another lovely receptionist, offered us drinks and snacks and chatted with us as though we were neighbors and friends. The entire atmosphere was very warm, and welcoming. One thing we especially loved was the transparency of the hospital. We could see the team working, and it was obvious that everyone was incredibly busy, and completely focused on providing exceptional care. When it was time for Vivi’s procedure, we were able to stand beside her and watch the veterinarians work, which brought us tremendous peace of mind for a helicopter mom such as myself. Throughout our visit we met several members of the team as shifts changed, including Dr. Cohen, Dr. Lauren, and technician Christopher. I only wish I could remember everyone’s names because every single person treated both Vivi and us with extraordinary compassion, professionalism, and respect. I cannot recommend this hospital highly enough!

I'd definitely recommend them. My husky does do well at vets, so they allow you to stay with your fur baby the entire time, they have an open layout where staff comes to you so you aren’t stuck in a room. They were extremely gentle with him and me… and I know we both felt more relaxed!! You can tell they love their job and are dedicated to taking care of your pet.

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 say enough good things about the staff at VEG. Every single person we encountered was so sweet, kind, patient, and gentle with both our family and our cat, November, during one of the hardest moments we’ve ever had to face. One person who truly stood out was Melissa. Her kindness, empathy, and compassion meant more to me than I can put into words. Unfortunately, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to November, and Melissa basically held my hand through the entire process with her comforting words, wisdom, and genuine care. She made an incredibly painful experience feel a little less lonely and helped give us peace during such a difficult moment. I will never forget the kindness Melissa and the rest of the VEG team showed our family and November. We are forever grateful that he was surrounded by such compassionate people in his final moments. Thank you for treating him, and us, with so much love and dignity.

My two doggies got into some human medication and we needed to have them looked at asap. After speaking with ASPCA poison control, we took them over to VEG on Ralph Avenue. We were greeted by friendly staff when we came in . This was very consoling for me. After weigh in they took us into a room . I gave all the pertinent information I'd written down with the poison control number. This helped with check in process. We were there for a few hours. Dr Anderson went over a couple of options and she gave honest opinion of which course of action to take. We went with that route. It's the next day and my two doggies are 100% their normal self and getting into things.

This isn’t our first visit to VEG, and I’m sure it won’t be our last—pet emergencies have a way of striking when you least expect them. It’s an enormous comfort knowing their team of wonderful, strong (mostly) women 💪 are there whenever we need them. I’m especially grateful they allowed me to stay by my pet’s side throughout treatment and included me in her care. No one knows a pet better than their owner, and that partnership made all the difference in her comfort and recovery. The staff answered every question with patience and kindness throughout our stay. Carla, our nurse, was gentle and attentive with our girl in a way that meant more than words can express. Dr. Croel was thorough, direct, and honest with us every step of the way. The facility itself is spotless, and the staff clearly prioritize patient care in everything they do. As much as we hope to never need an emergency vet, we’re deeply grateful VEG is there when we do. Maya and her family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

*****I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANY PET EMERGENCIES YOU MAY HAVE****** They do it all!! This is a REAL E.R. like as if it were for people. They will help your pet in an emergency, no questions asked! The doctors here ARE AMAZING!! They truly care here about animals. That's a rarity nowadays. This is THE 1st pet clinic in San Antonio that I've been to that actually has doctors and staff that care. I've lived here my whole life and I'm 40 now, that says it all just in itself. The compassion, understanding and communication from the doctors and staff really show! I really liked how the doctor squat down to talk to us at our eye level while we were sitting on the couch. It's the small little things as such that stick out the most when it comes to patient and doctor relationships. Her assistant was just as great too! She spent a lot of time talking with us about the Healthcare process and the procedures. They also have a financial program here that can help pay your pet bills if you cannot afford them, which I think is AMAZING! It's very clean, neat and organized. They have free coffee and snacks. The restrooms were exceptionally clean too. I'm happy my dad decided to take orange kitty here. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your help, concerns and thorough efforts. This is a DEFINITE 10 STAR PLACE. Keep up the great work ya'll. 👍

Abby and Angela are the absolute best ever! Amazing bedside manner and a wealth of information to help us determine next steps. They both did everything to make sure she was comfortable and even took care of us too! They both treated Phoenix like she was their own pup! Thank you Abby & Angela!

When my golden retriever had an eye emergency, I chose this ER simply based on location and a quick glance at the reviews. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, I was incredibly impressed with the care we received. The entire staff was so gentle and compassionate with my dog, and I was especially impressed by how thorough the exam was. Dr. Kimberlyn W. took the time to clearly explain which tests she recommended and why, and I appreciated being given pricing information before anything was done. At no point did I feel pressured into additional testing or treatment. Ariela and Shannon were also absolutely amazing throughout my dog’s care. Honestly, the best way to describe this place is something one of the assistants said: it’s like “The Avengers” of veterinary medicine. The best of the best all came together to work here. The diagnosis and treatment plan were explained very thoroughly, which I truly valued, and I was sent home with printed information to refer back to as well. During the wait for bloodwork results, someone even came in with a basket of snacks and offered me something to eat or drink…such a thoughtful touch during a stressful situation. I would recommend this place 100%.

I brought my puppy in after he got into some trouble and I was really worried. The staff was incredibly attentive from the moment we walked in and made me feel so much better. They were very transparent about pricing upfront and even gave me helpful information about pet insurance. What stood out the most was how warm and welcoming everything felt. I truly felt like my puppy was cared for with so much love. They also allowed me to be in the back and involved every step of the way which meant a lot to me. I have never had such a positive experience with an emergency vet. I hope I never have to come back but if I do I will absolutely return to VEG. The staff was amazing and so kind I really cannot express this enough. Thank you so much. 💕🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🐾

Honest, compassionate, responsive staff and vets. They took excellent care of my cat Lovebug. He is a very sick senior tabby and they got him through a crisis so he can have some more terrific days at home. Wonderful place for emergencies.

We had an amazing experience at VEG ER for Pets in Maple Grove. I took my Harper girl in for eclampsia, and the moment we walked through the doors, she received immediate care. The entire team was compassionate, attentive, and acted quickly. Dr. Chandra and the staff did an incredible job stabilizing Harper and getting her back on her feet within just a few hours. Their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care gave us so much peace of mind during a very scary situation. One thing we thought was unique about VEG was the open treatment area. It was reassuring to see the veterinary team caring for other pets, and my daughter enjoyed watching the team work and seeing some of the procedures being performed. It really showed how dedicated and hardworking everyone is. A special thank you to Nurse Sean, the curly-haired vet tech who greeted us at the door and immediately sprang into action, the first veterinarian who started making calls for Harper while we waited for Dr. Chandra, the Asian vet tech who disconnected Harper’s IV line, the wonderful staff member who initiated Harper’s IV, the tech who helped Sean gently hold Harper during her second lab draw, and the kind lady who helped us with our payment. We are so grateful for each of you! We didn’t forget about you, we just forgot some of your names. 😄 Thank you all for treating Harper with such kindness, compassion, and urgency. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care Harper received and would highly recommend VEG ER Maple Grove to all of our friends and family. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet girl!
