While VEG can be very pricey, that's pretty standard for emergency care, and I've found them to be largely accommodating. I wanted to specifically thank the kind vets who evaluated my poor kitty Felix, both when he was ill and at the end of his life. Specifically, the vet who helped FeFe pass on was very compassionate and supportive during one of the hardest days of my life. VEG also offered a quiet, dark room for a private goodbye, which meant a lot to me. I recommend them to all my friends with pets.

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

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.

Today was our first visit to VEG and I was pleased with our time there. Our regular mobile vet couldn't fit us in so I headed to VEG to have my dog's eye checked out after an incident. It was busy but I felt like we were seen in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable price. I liked that my dog was able to sit with me while we waited and during the exam. It helped keep him calm. Everyone we encountered was caring, kind and thorough. Will definitely return if needed.

We took our sweet kitty, Iggy to be seen and they explained everything in detail. He has FIP and his body was shutting down. They were able to make him comfortable and drew fluid but ultimately we found he was septic. We made the difficult decision to euthanize him. My 8 year old son was with me and they were so kind to him. They allowed us time with him in a nice room and placed him in a box with a paw print. I hope we never need another pet at an ER but if we do, we’re going here.

I took my senior pittie mix Maple here with what turned out to be horrible pancreatitis. She was hospitalized and I stayed with her all night and they made me up a bed so we would be comfortable together. This was my first time being overnight and I emergency vet and I didn’t know what to expect. Everyone was so kind and stopped to give her lots of love and reassurance no matter how busy they were. I really felt like they cared about her and wanted to get to know her which made all the difference in her care plan I am certain. They also refunded some costs on my bill for things that they didn’t end up needing to do, which I thought was really kind of them. It was obvious that they wanted to make sure that they billed me fairly. VEG is my favorite emergency vet because they employ gentle handling and allow you to stay with your pet the entire time. No secret back area where you’re not sure what they’re doing with your animal, or what kind of care they are getting. I cannot mention everyone who helped us, but Dr Zaremba, Em, Gretchen, Aubrey, we are so grateful. I didn’t catch your name but the person working the desk was so kind and helpful and took a turn hand feeding Maple when she became more interested in playing than eating when she started to feel better. What a talented and kind group of humans. Thank you for saving my little old lady.

Where can I start, well for one I wish I knew the names of the ladies that helped us when I went with my precious Nala, whom I miss so much. We called in on May 19th at 3am and told the very nice lady who answered what was going on with Nala and how she was having a hard time breathing and slobbering all over. Was instructed to fill out a form so that they can have her information ready on file and to bring her in right away. We were received at the door and taken care of immediately. Unfortunately we were shown on the ultrasound that she was having heart issues and had fluid all around her heart. She was already dying so we had to choose to let her go in peace. The 3 doctors were very supportive with me and my daughters. It was a very hard decision but I didn’t want her to suffer. Thank you for being so patient and compassionate with us. It meant the world 🌎 to us. Thank you also for the box you added Nala’s body in and for the beautiful card you sent us. We have it in our fridge. They’re the kindest people I’ve ever met. I highly recommend them.

I brought my dog, Rue, to VEG and had such a great experience. From the moment we walked in, both doctors on shift immediately greeted us. Dr. Mohan did Rue’s exam and ultrasound right in front of us and explained everything as she went. Dr. Weston came over just to love on Rue and check in on us. The nurses, Laura and Alex, were so gentle with Rue during her blood draw and IV catheter placement. Every single person was so kind. I’m so grateful for the care Rue received and would recommend VEG Fort Myers to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet.

I will always be grateful for the care and support we received. Dr Irvin and her staff at the Sugar Land location showed so much compassion and took great care of my little Yogi Bear during this challenging state. They did everything to keep him comfortable and calm while providing great medical care. Allowing me to be there at his side throughout his treatment also helped to make him feel safe. Thank you all for being there when we needed you!!

These people are real life angels! If you have an emergency with your pet, there is not a better place to go! They were kind, compassion, patient, sincere, and every other incredible word to describe people who genuinely care about animals and their owners.

My dog Ice was taken to the vet by me where I live in CT where an xray showed a possible mass that needed to be scanned via ultrasound. Ultrasound, technicians were not available in my area and so I drove to my home town of Brooklyn after speaking with this facility and finding out that there was a doctor available to conduct the ultrasound. Dr. Cross did an amazing job with the ultrasound and later sat with me to compassionately but realistically give the next steps. The next day, we were able to have the surgery that she needed. I am very grateful to Doctor Cross for his help and to all of the staff there who took us in immediately.

Beyond blessed I took my baby girl Rossie to this vet! I honestly don’t know what would’ve happened with her if I would’ve not taken her on time! Rossie got there with her heart beat extremely low close to almost passing away! I was fortunate for the whole team to take care of my baby girl she was never left alone. They did everything to help her and we were lucky and blessed she made it through! My babies heart went from 40 to 120 🥺♥️🙏 although treatment is extremely expensive I am happy my baby survived and was Diagnosed with Addison disease. I will forever be thankful it’s like they brought my baby back to life.

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 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!

Wonderful experience! Being able to stay with my dog meant everything to me. Nothing was done in a backroom - you watch over your pet at all times and can participate as much as you want. I was very satisfied with the explanations about treatment plans and was grateful for the team approach.

I was SO thankful for the care provided to my baby here! I was out of town and family took my doggy in. I was so worried as he has Addisons Disease. The vet Nicole Huette, called me and went over results, my concerns, care I wanted, what she saw fit etc and made me feel so much better! Staff was kind from the first call and the entire experience!

My dog, Saki, was admitted to VEG with a life-threatening fever of 106°F and was hospitalized for two nights. As soon as we arrived, Dr. Beene immediately started treatment. During the ultrasound, I appreciated how she gave details of each organ in real time so I could understand what was going on. The next morning, Dr. Zaremba was incredibly thorough. She took the time to answer all of my questions while starting second line treatments and explaining next steps. I’m an anxious dog mom, but never felt like a burden to the staff. Everyone treated us with kindness and compassion. Sarah went above and beyond to be proactive and patient with a fearful dog, Ashley was so helpful and caring when I was exhausted without sleep, and I am so appreciative to Nicky for placing me & saki in a private room so we could stay together during the hospitalization. I wish I had a full list of everyone’s name, but anyone who helped us - whether it was checking a temp, changing an IV/med, or physically carrying my dog outside to use the bathroom when she was too weak to walk - your care made a difference. Saki is my soul dog - thank you to the VEG team for giving us more time together. 💜

Best experience I could have asked for, I am so grateful to the staff at VEG! Our 8 year old kitty accidentally ate a rubber band and had it sticking partway out his butt; my wife and I were in a panic at 2am and called to see if they could see him. They sent a check-in link via text, we filled it in, and went straight there. As soon as we arrived, they immediately examined our little guy and assessed for any urgent needs. During our visit he got xrays (which they even let me come watch for), an enema, and a few injections to help with his constipation and comfort. Every staff member was caring, gentle, kind, and compassionate to him the whole time -- it's clear the team truly loves animals! They were also very empathetic about my financial situation, I didn't have the funds in the bank, but they helped me apply for Care Credit so he could get the care he needed right away. At the end of it all, his xrays were all clear and they sent us on our way with everything we needed to keep an eye on him while he worked thru it. This morning he finally passed the rubber band and he's happy and thriving once again! Thank you VEG staff, thank you one million times over!! I'm so happy we came to you with our cat!

Paddington says to thank everyone who pet him and gave him all the attention he demanded. The staff are the reason why Paddington does not associate VEG on Rampart as a negative experience. Thank you to everyone’s help and all the love given to him on our *latest* visit 😭. Thankfully nothing serious this time. Realizing right now that I don’t recall my nurses/techs names’, I am so sorry. I think I was just happy that Paddy was happy and completely forgot to get names. The two ladies kept us updated and offered help throughout our entire stay. They were also so chill with our strange encounter; someone I knew walked in with their own pet concerns. They helped ease those parents immediately. Afterwards our areas merged (while still separate) and the nurse/tech were so good about keeping us updated but keeping patient info confidential. I was able to witness them, and DVM Jones, treat the pet and parents with compassion, offering comfort and understanding throughout, offering options for payments without judgement to the parent’s ability to pay. Unfortunately, the fur babe’s diagnosis was too severe and treatment and recovery would be difficult, so the difficult decision was made for comfort. I hate it came to the conclusion it came to. I could tell the staff were affected, and yet they did the switch up everyone in the medical does where they put their emotions aside and made sure that each fur babe and parent they encountered got the level of care they deserved. The staff even helped me when we were discharged and had my dog and took the other family’s *literal* baby so they could say their goodbyes. We were no longer a patient but they still checked on us and gave Paddington tons of love. The staff at VEG on Rampart are something special, because while it was all tough for the other family, in the end they managed to have the other parent’s laughing. *Thankful for anyone who remembered Paddy from previous visits. You fill his bucket and boost his ego, and this point his name should be Diva Paddington.*

We had to bring our sweet Balinese cat Kai in for consistent vomiting at midnight. We have used 2 other emergency vets in years past here in oklahoma. I can say hands down this was the best emergency vet we have ever used. They were quick, efficient, had wonderful customer service, and genuinely cared for Kai. From the vet to the tech to the triage person-all of them were wonderful! Thankfully he was discharged by 330am after X-rays!
