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.

*****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. 👍

I cannot say enough about the staff and our experience this week at VEG in Snellville. Our 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Madyson, was immediately triaged and taken for X-rays upon arrival. She was suffering from a sudden GDV (bloat), a life-threatening condition involving a twisted stomach that requires emergency surgery. Given her age, the potential complications and recovery challenges, and her ongoing struggles with Cushing’s disease and thyroid disease over the past two years, we made the incredibly difficult decision to let her go peacefully and return to her Heavenly Creator. The tears continue to flow because Madyson was truly the best dog. While our hearts are broken, we know we made the most loving and compassionate decision for her. The entire team at VEG was exceptional. They were kind, compassionate, patient, and willing to answer every question we had. They never rushed us and allowed us to spend as much time with Madyson as we needed. I am so grateful to have a 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital so close to home. I trust their expertise and their evaluation completely. While I hope we never need emergency services for our other dogs, it brings me comfort knowing that VEG is there if we do. God bless each and every one of you. Thank you for being there for us during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

I cannot thank VEG ER enough for everything they did to save my little Dumpling. Our kitten got into our dogs flea and tick medicine which is very toxic to cats and my baby started to have tremors and throwing up a few hours after she ingested his medicine. I called VEG ER and from the moment they answered the phone I knew I was going to have a good experience and instantly felt like I could trust them. They were so kind on the phone, advised us to come in right away. As soon as we walked in they knew who we were and called in for a STAT treatment and when I say all the nurses and doctors from the young gentleman who triaged us were SO KIND And took us in immediately! Started treating our Dumpling right in front of us and kept us informed the entire time of what was happening. They pulled up chairs for us to sit with her in the trauma area while they worked on her and All the nurses were so attentive of her, monitoring her tremors while the doctor was figuring out a treatment plan. She needed to spend the night to get her medication and be monitored for symptoms and the care and services were unmatched! We got lucky and was able to bring our baby home the next day and she has fully recovered! We will forever be grateful for the WONDERFUL team at VEG ER in Willow Grove!

Our experience at VEG was nothing short of amazing. I brought my AiChan “Chi chi” in at the recommendation of our vet. She had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes the week before. She was lethargic, refusing to eat, peeing and drinking a lot. We had not received our insulin yet and local Costco was on back order. From the moment we stepped foot in the door we were welcomed and taken to a room right away. The staff interaction with me and her was comforting. Chi chi stayed with them from Wednesday to Friday night. I received updates regularly on her status and felt reassured knowing she was doing well. I was also welcome to come at any time to visit. I loved the fact that I could stay with her the whole time if I wanted. Being that I had never administered insulin before they took the time to teach me how. Before leaving they cleaned her well, made sure we had everything. The staff and doctors were all so attentive and caring. I could feel the love they have for our pets. Thank you all for making our experience during such a stressful time comfortable and loving for her. Side note: thank you for shaving her and making sure her new “fur-cut” didn’t look crazy 😉

The VEG Etobicoke staff and vets were really incredible, especially during such a stressful time. My cat swallowed a sewing needle and they were able to assess her quickly, locate the needle, and remove it without difficulty. I called ahead and they sent a check in form to speed up the process on arrival. We were immediately greeted and taken to a sofa where we could set up and stay close to our pet. There was some wait - all in all we were there for about 5 hours (7pm to midnight on a Monday), but she was seen by a tech immediately and by the vet within half an hour. They communicated with me and each other consistently throughout and I found the environment warm and friendly. I really felt like everyone cared deeply about the wellbeing of my cat, along with all the other animals on site. The clinic is modern and well equipped. Despite not being the closest vet emergency clinic to me, I would absolutely go back here (although of course I hope I don't have to!) because of the exceptional service and care that we received. At one point they came around with snacks for everyone to choose from! Really impressed and would highly recommend.

Our dog ate a towel and were worried about his intestines. Took him there and the staff was great. Busy, but great. It's an open architecture, everything is out in the open, basically just a large room, you kind of get to know what's going on, the good, the bad and the ugly. Staff are super busy, and it is expensive, but they know what they are doing and are prepared for anything (that fits) to come through the doors. We were encouraged to come visit and sit with our dog as he needed to be there for about 10 hours to get a couple sets od X-Rays. Not the most comfortable place, but we sat in his cage, and I think he felt OK.

I want to thank the staff working overnight last night. We brought my Diesel baby in because he was really struggling. Even though it was 3 am the staff was quick and very compassionate for our situation, all hands were on deck. I’d like to thank Dr. Rocha for explaining things in a good manner and being very patient with my family during this time. Also of course for taking care of Diesel and not sugar coating anything no matter how hard it was to hear. She was very caring. It was a very hard time for us as we had to put my almost 13 year old baby down, but i’m glad it was in the hands of your animal hospital. Thank you for caring for my Diesel when he needed it most. May he rest in paradise🤍

Absolutely outstanding care! We brought our retired Military Working Dog in after a bad hit-by-car injury, and the team at VEG was phenomenal. A huge thank you to Victoria (our vet tech) and Dr. Hopper for their skill and compassion. The entire staff worked together seamlessly — it was impressive to watch. The front desk lady was also wonderful and so helpful. One tiny suggestion: name badges or quick introductions would be nice so we can personally thank everyone. VEG is truly the gold standard for emergency vet care in North Atlanta. Highly recommend!

The kindest staff! They made me and my dog feel super comfortable, explained everything that was going on. Even came and sat on the ground with me and my pup. Shoutout to all the staff working Monday night (07/13)!! They even built a make shift wall so my reactive dog could be as comfortable as possible and not see the other animals coming in and out. Also incredibly clean inside!

I can't say enough great things about this place! From the care of my pet and the care of myself, this place goes above and beyond. I joke with my friends and family that I didn't get this care when my mom was in the hospital! They saved Wrigleys life and made sure I understood every step and procedure. I was able to come and go as I pleased and felt good knowing he was in good hands. Between the hearts he stole and the hand holding he did, along with the size of tumor removed from his belly, I'm sure he won't be forgotten by the incredible vets and techs that cared for him.

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.

After seeing how highly rated VEG Carle Place was, I decided to take my 14-year-old Chihuahua, Sushi, there after I found him collapsed, lethargic, and running a 104° fever. I’m so glad I did. Sushi was triaged immediately upon arrival. It was a busy day, so we did have to wait about an hour to be seen, but he was resting comfortably while we waited. The veterinarian who treated Sushi was Dr. Huang. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained what he believed was going on, discussed the different possibilities, and reviewed the treatment options with me. He recommended hospitalization, IV fluids, antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, bloodwork, and X-rays, and he was upfront about the costs involved. I chose to move forward with the bloodwork, IV fluids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea medication, but declined the X-rays because they were outside of my budget. When I explained that I also had concerns about the cost of hospitalization, I never felt judged or pressured. Instead, Dr. Huang recommended another emergency specialty hospital where Sushi could have an abdominal ultrasound performed by a specialist at a more competitive price. I appreciated that he focused on what was best for Sushi rather than where the testing was performed. He also made it very clear that if I chose not to hospitalize Sushi overnight, I needed to follow up the very next day with the specialist he recommended. I followed his recommendation, and Sushi received excellent care there as well. I also want to recognize the entire VEG team for their outstanding customer service. From the receptionist, to the intake staff, to the veterinary technicians, and Dr. Huang, everyone was kind, compassionate, and professional. Although I didn’t get the names of the two veterinary technicians who primarily cared for Sushi, I do remember that one had a Stitch tattoo and the other had an amazing personality. They treated Sushi gently, made sure he was comfortable, and took the time to answer my questions. This wasn’t my first experience with a pet medical emergency, and what stood out to me about VEG Carle Place was the honesty, communication, and compassion of the entire team. I never felt pressured when discussing the financial aspect of Sushi’s care, and I felt comfortable making an informed decision based on the options that were presented to me. This was my personal experience, and it left a lasting impression. If I ever need emergency veterinary care again, VEG Carle Place will absolutely be one of my first choices. Thank you to Dr. Huang and the entire VEG Carle Place team for taking such great care of Sushi.

My dog needed emergency care and VEG ER for Pets was a godsend. The staff were all compassionate and professional. The facility was clean and in great condition. All the fears and questions I had regarding my pet were answered with great compassion. I never once felt like just another customer and really felt that the staff loved my pet just as much as I do. I hope we never have another emergency but know I can count on VEG ER for Pets to provide valuable care. THANK YOU so much to the professionals at VEG ER for Pets, you were there in our time of need.

VEG ER made a really scary experience so much more comfortable for us and our Frenchie. Deno started aspirating after throwing up a lot during a pancreatitis flare. When we heard he needed to be monitored overnight, we were freaking out thinking we’d have to leave him somewhere and worrying we wouldn’t get updates. Being able to get a room and stay the night with him was peace of mind for us and made him more. Comfortable. The vets were great. Later in the day we even brought our other dog because we didn’t want to leave one while running home to care for the other. Our boy is almost back to normal now and we can’t thank them enough! So accommodating

I had a great experience here with my cat, Sherman. We were greeted immediately and brought to a room to ensure my Sherman felt comfortable. Juan was seriously the best! So friendly and helpful. You could tell he genuinely cared for Sherman and was looking out for his best interest. Mady F. was also a big help in assisting with Sherman's bloodwork and shots. Dr. White really made sure he was advocating for Sherman and what was actually best for him vs. jumping into the most expensive or extreme treatment method. It was a fairly quick visit for an ER trip less than 2 hours (maybe even closer to 1). The location was clean, all staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone in need of an emergency visit with a pet. - Kristen L.

I had to take my dog to VEG ER tonight and they were so nice the whole time! Super busy but still checked in on us several times, while we waited for pets with more serious issues to be helped. I was asked three times if I wanted water, tea or coffee. I watched them race to help a woman who ran in with her Frenchie that was having breathing problems. I watched them comfort an upset couple. I watched as they let a family with kids hug their dog when it was asleep from sedatives, and while they surgically removed a foxtail that made its way halfway up the pups leg. I even saw them treating a python! The vet gave me lots of info about what they thought was wrong with my dog, explained what they could do, and gave me a quote before doing anything. They said “absolutely”, when I asked if they could try to help him without the light sedation (didn’t work well - so he got the shot), and let me help try to hold him still when they gave the sedation shot (he’s 70lbs), and again when they did the procedure. They didn’t act scared of his aggressive behavior when he was in pain/scared, my former vet acted afraid him twice before just from him jerking his head away when she was checking his ears and wanted him sedated. They didn’t push any extra pills or procedures or diagnosis’ he didn’t need AND I left there with a bill less than a what I’ve paid for ear infections at the former vet! They were very busy and I was only in there a couple hours. I definitely recommend them.

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.

There are simply not enough words to express my gratitude to the incredible team at VEG ER for Pets in Dallas. They truly saved my sweet dog, Poppy’s, life, and I will be forever grateful. From the moment we walked through the doors, every person we encountered treated Poppy—and me—with compassion, urgency, and genuine kindness. During one of the most terrifying experiences of my life, Dr. Marhanka, Dr. Nealy, Dr. Huffman, Dr. Peter, and Dr. Chaney provided exceptional medical care while taking the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. They kept me informed throughout Poppy’s treatment, answered every question with patience, and never made me feel alone in the process. I also want to recognize Molly, AJ, Brittany, Mahogany, and Haley for the outstanding care, kindness, and compassion they showed us. Every member of the team worked together seamlessly, and it was clear that Poppy wasn’t just another patient—she was treated as if she were their own. One of the things that sets VEG apart is their commitment to keeping pet parents involved. Being able to stay with Poppy while she was receiving care and being kept informed every step of the way brought comfort during an incredibly frightening time. Because of the expertise, dedication, and compassion of this remarkable team, Poppy is alive today. That is a gift my family can never repay. Thank you, Dr. Marhanka, Dr. Nealy, Dr. Huffman, Dr. Peter, and Dr. Chaney and the entire VEG Dallas team, for giving us more time with our beloved girl. You didn’t just save Poppy’s life—you gave our family hope during our darkest moment. We will never forget what you did for us, and I recommend VEG Dallas without the slightest hesitation to anyone whose pet needs emergency care.

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 🐾♥️🙌👏

In late May of this year, we brought our extremely sick cat to VEG EP after a pretty awful experience at another ER the night before. From the very first phone call, our experience was seriously amazing. We were able to speak with the doctor the moment we walked in the door. Our cat was kept hospitalized overnight and we spent quite a bit of time there with him. Even when there were 5 other patients in the hospital, it was a very quiet and calm environment. Our cat is 10/10 peppers spicy, and everyone who handled him and interacted with him was SO GOOD with him, and I was very stressed and worried, but everyone handled me with a lot of care too. He is still working through whatever it was that made him so sick to begin with, but we really thought he wasn't going to last the weekend, and the VEG team completely turned that around for us and he's been improving ever since. Thank you so much for saving our kitty and I'm so sorry he wasn't nicer to you guys!!

I can’t say enough great things about this animal hospital. From the moment I walked in, the staff treated both me and my dog with so much care, compassion, and professionalism. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and well taken care of, taking the time to explain everything and answer all my questions without ever making me feel rushed. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do and care deeply about the animals they treat. They didn’t just focus on the medical side—they made sure I felt supported and reassured throughout the entire experience as well. That kind of kindness and dedication means everything when you’re worried about your pet. I’m incredibly grateful for the level of care we received and would highly recommend this animal hospital to anyone looking for a team that truly goes the extra mile.

We had to bring our fur baby Heidi in for emergency care at VEG in Sugar Land yesterday & Dr. Lee was wonderful. He was so caring & kind to both us & our fur baby. She’s truly our baby so it made a huge difference while we were so worried & she wasn’t feeling well. All of the staff & nurses were awesome too. Our girl was actually happy each time someone came in to get her for testing, to check on her or to talk with us. We’re so grateful for the level of care & kindness we received. It made a difficult situation a lot easier to get through. We highly recommend this place if you ever need emergency vet care.

VEG took amazing care of our cat, Paisley, over the weekend when her regular vet was closed. From immediate triage, to the care she needed following that, she was treated with care, compassion, and remarkable thoroughness. The staff treated her humans the same way, explaining her care, her diagnosis, (pancreatitis,) and discussing next steps with us and seeking our approval for each stage of her care. Costs were discussed up front. I was expecting her treatment to cost a good bit more than it did, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, VEG, for taking care of our family.

This operation is a class act. I've used them twice now, and each time the responsiveness and professionalism were top notch. Even at 4 am, a kind, funny and intelligent team of doctor and nurses attended to my sick and scared dog with confidence and efficiency. The facilities are ultraclean and comfortable. And the prices are fair. There's no question in my mind that I'll continue to use their services in the unfortunate case of another emergency.

I had to take my extremely "velcro" mini aussie in because he started having a cluster of seizures. All of the staff here are kind, compassionate and welcoming. The open concept set up was new to me but it allowed me to be with my boy the entire time. This was good for both of us. Everyone that worked with us took the time to listen and talk about treatment options. You are also welcome to stay the whole time to be with your pet. I wasn't prepared to be able to do that but it gave me great comfort. If I find myself in need of their services again, I may take advantage of that if I'm able. I think the hardest thing was leaving my boy. I didn't want him to think I wasn't coming back. He was started on medication quickly and has been seizure free so far, thank goodness! I had been to another local emergency vet in the past and it was a different experience. The waiting area was dirty, staff weren't welcoming or even trying to offer help at a time when, let's face it, things aren't going well and you just want to get help. I will 100% return to VEG in the future of needed. Thank you all!!! *including pic of our joyful reunion

This was one of the finest veterinary experiences we’ve ever had. Our dog was an emergent case referral from our primary vet with symptoms of an obstruction and a cough. We feared exploratory surgery or worse. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely, warm staff who instantly made us feel welcome and safe. We were checked in immediately and taken to a private room with a comfortable couch and quiet setting to allow us to rest while we waited. Our case was less emergent than others, so we did wait for quite a while but were kept updated, cared for, and as relaxed as possible. Dr. Sarah was absolutely top notch. She spoke with us instead of at us and made us feel heard, respected, and ultimately that our most cherished boy was in the best care available. It turns out he has a rare fungal infection which we are extremely grateful to have caught. Every part of the experience, including the respect around discussing cost and options, was excellent. To our vet tech and Dr. Sarah, and everyone who worked with Anakin we thank you so much for caring for him like he was your own, and also caring for us! We are extremely thankful for the care he received and truly appreciate all the attention to detail.

We had an outstanding experience at VEG on M Street. From the moment we walked in, Dr. Yeepum, Alex, Ashley, Andrea, and Lillie (who ran up to meet us at the door) immediately put both Lola and our family at ease. They were compassionate, welcoming, and explained every step of her care so we always knew what was happening. Lola came in with heart failure, and thanks to their quick action and exceptional care, she was able to come home healthy and safe. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern everyone showed. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl.

Truly amazing experience with this team. They were kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and quick to address our emergency. All the things you need when dealing with an unexpected traumatic event with a pet. They were thorough and treated our pet as their own. I am blown away at the level of not only customer service, but caring VEG offered our family. Truly, thank you.

We brought our cat Roxy in not really knowing what was wrong. Emergency vets can be a little overwhelming but this location had some of the nicest staff I've ever met in the vet field. Dr Johnstone and the staff were incredible. They were quick to get vitals on my cat, listen our concerns and previous medical concerns to try and figure out what was wrong. After some test came back it was determine our cat was in a dire urgent situation due to her diabetes. After Dr Johnstone thoroughly went over treatment options we decided euthanasia would be the most humane option. It's never easy to say goodbye to a pet. I had my furball for over 15 years. The staff was so sincere with the process. Making sure we had a private room, had time to say our goodbyes and just over all very professional. I was happy to hear they offer paw and nose prints free of charge and a patch of fur. My Roxy will be cremated and returned back within a week or so. I just want to thank the entire staff again for their professionalism and sincerity in this tough choice. They never once made me feel what I chose was the bad route. They all listened to stories about our cat and all praised how even with her being sick they could she was loved and how she snuggled up to my shoulder while being examined. This was simply the best experience I could have asked for under these circumstances.

Dr Brittany Hall and her team (Jams, Mcglynn, et al) were respectful, empathetic and expert in handling my 3.5 yo GR. Inspite of a busy ER, this team coordinated their efforts to treat my little guy for his ingestion of a foreign object. Least invasive effort attemtped without desired results, they approached the next option cautiously. After briefing in the nightshift, Dr Hall stayed with my pet until he was clear of the object! Top notch place! This place has earned my first choice for emergency care for my animals.

I had a great experience here. My cat was bit by a dog pretty badly. When we walked in he was immediately evaluated by a vet and then given pain medicine for the wait. We were allowed to wait in the car until a room was available so he was comfortable the entire time. Once we got a room there was quite a wait due to some emergencies that came in. We were checked on and communicated with during the wait. Once it was our turn, his wounds were cleans and sutured. Everything was explained and all of my questions were answered. I was allowed to be there for the entire procedure. I was also charged exactly what I was quoted when I came in (which is expensive because it’s an emergency vet and they can’t operate for free). My kitty ended up requiring extra anesthesia which I was not billed for. Everyone on this team is absolutely an expert at what they do. I’m so glad this is where I chose to bring my cat.

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

The receptionist Fantasia I can't thank enough for her kindness and attention she gave as we said goodbye to our beloved dog MJ. The entire staff sprang into action as soon as we walked in the door. My dog was almost 16 years old and was fading. The entire staff handled us with compassion and empathy in what was a heartbreaking moment. It was if for that moment they became an extended part of our family and I will never forget that. Thank you VEG ER! Michael "MJ"Jackson 8/19/2010- 4/22/2026🌈🐶💛

Our first time going to Veg ER was great, considering the circumstances. Our dog managed to tear a claw off of her paw and the staff was very gentle and compassionate with our dog. It was clear throughout that the Veg ER team is kind, knowledgeable and had our pet's best interests in mind. Overall, we had a great experience and appreciate having this 24/7 resource available in our neighborhood!
