Best pet ER. Been here many times throughout the years and they are always amazing. Amazing service and care from when you enter to when you leave. The doctors/nurses/staff are very smart and on the ball so you feel like you can trust them which takes a lot of stress away. They're also mindful of you and your pets' comfort and can help make the situation easier / more comfortable, particularly for longer visits. The open floor plan is helpful so you can be with your pet, in the loop, easy to find if you have visitors, and always visible to faculty/staff — you never feel forgotten about, confused, or low priority. Just had to leave my pet overnight and felt not only comfortable leaving her in their hands but also relieved. Thank you team

We had a wonderful experience at Veg ER, when our German Shepard had a seizure in the middle of the night, we rushed over and we were so pleased with the immediate response the moment we walked in, the care attention and information was amazing. The hospital is well equipped and staffed. We were able to stay with our boy for the extent of the visit and when he was admitted, we were welcomed back anytime to go right in and sit with him. The staff was professional, kind and loving with Yosef. Each doctor and nurse we encountered impressed us. 100% recommend this hospital.

My dog Smidge was recently diagnosed with IMHA at VEG and was hospitalized and received 2 blood transfusions. I got to stay with Smidge the entire time and I had no idea that was even a possibility. Thank goodness we ended up at VEG!! Smidge was seen and treated by Dr. Travers, Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Leidecker, Dr. Jones, Dr. Gallucci, Dr. Dockery, Taylor, Hannah, Antonella, Bekki, and several more over those few days, and every single one of them treated Smidge with so much love and care, took time to answer questions and explain things, and helped me to make the best decisions possible in a really tricky situation. I’m so thankful for every staff person. Y’all are the best!! ❤️

This was truly exemplary veterinary care! This was my pup and I’s first emergency vet visit, and from the first phone call, Samantha immediately connected me with Dr. Donohue, who offered her initial plan of action based on our situation. Once we arrived, the entire staff led with kindness and empathy — you can really tell their priority is taking care of your pet (and you too!). The entire process was transparent and I left knowing my boy has the best care possible. I especially love their “say yes” policy which allows you to work with them financially, if needed. Emergency vet medicine can be financially inaccessible, but knowing about this policy lowered the threshold for making that decision to take my boy in. Facility wise, the hospital was clean and open concept, so I could see my dog the whole time. It also had with rooms available for stressed dogs. The space makes a scary experience less stressful for all parties involved. We are so thankful for the staff’s hospitality and kindness. Highly recommend this as your main ER vet hospital in Staten Island!!

I have unfortunately had many experiences at emergency vets and VEG blew me away with the ease and caring and attentiveness. We were brought right back to be evaluated and put into a room. My cat is hairless and it was pretty cold in there. One of the staff members brought multiple sweater options for my cat to wear while we were there. She also brought in a pet bed in with hot packs in it. The doctor came and evaluated my cat and recommended the treatment plan. I agreed and shortly after the vet nurse came in with the medication. She checked in on us multiple times while waiting for the medication to work. Everything was successful, and we were able to leave once the medication left my cat’s system. They double checked that she wasn’t too sleepy and checked vitals before we could leave. All in all we were in and out in less than an hour. I cannot recommend VEG enough and cannot think of anything that would have made our experience better. 10/10!!!!

OMGGG This was my 2nd time here! Both times my Sophie Grace was taken care of with such gentleness and compassion! She was in pain due to a hematoma to the ear lobe! They took extraordinary care of her! She wanted to go around and say hello and kiss on everyone that worked there. We did keep it to a minimum, though. Lol The 1st time they drained the blood and wrapped her ear and put a head wrap/brace to minimize shaking her head. The 2nd time, they drained the blood Put a drain in and tacked with sutures all around her ear to prevent the blood refilling and to kind of send the blood to the drain. So it will drain out. I absolutely love!! the open concept and that I get to be right there with my girl as she is being treated and taken care of! Thank you so very much ladies for the love, comfort and care you showed my Sophie Grace! I was so at ease, confident and comfortable with the care you gave my baby! Dr. Bierly, Taylor Kaley and the others who assisted THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

Words cannot express how amazing this facility is. The reviews that mention the angels that are working here are so true. The gentleness, warmth and care that the staff provides is worth every penny (and we all know that pet ER visits can be pricey). For my visit, I was greeted by Allie at the door upon first step. No struggle between balancing the pet carrier while trying to open the door. Three wonderful ladies - Allie, Meredith and Dr. Gilbert urgently but calmly guided me and my fur baby to the table to discuss the trouble he was having. I was a wreck, as I was concerned for my baby. I had also had a nightmare of experiences before reaching this facility, which they let me ramble on and on about. All while paying attention to the most relevant parts and important tidbits AND while showing genuine empathy. I was most impressed with the way they gently handled by fur baby while also not giving in / folding from his mean disposition (he was an unhappy camper that day). They perservered and did what needed to be done to get him back in good health. I could go on and on and on about this place, but I know the other reviews will speak to anything I've missed. I've never been so comfortable spending a lump sum of money on someone else LOL. Allie, Meredith and Dr. Gilbert - THANK YOU so much for your kindness, your patience, your gentleness, your persistence and your hospitality. Boot is still bitter with you Meredith about the thermometer in his bum, but deep down I know he thanks you too :). Here is a pic of him resting when we got home that evening.

VEG Marietta was my first experience at an animal ER. Every single person we came in contact with was exceptional. They showed kindness, patience, understanding and empathy towards me and my family. Our little kitten wasn’t strong enough to make it, and they made that process as painless as it could have possibly been. They even mailed us a handwritten sympathy card once we had gotten her remains. I am blown away by their level of care.

I like many others on here, rarely leave reviews but I felt like it was necessary to express my sincere gratitude for the entire staff at VEG Hillsboro/Beaverton. From the moment I walked through the door with the night crew to the day crew, my dog was prioritized and treated with the best possible care. The entire team explained information as we went and I was asked on multiple occasions if I had any questions or needed anything. While I really hope I never have to return with my dog Pixie, I’m thankful to know that if I need to, I will absolutely be coming here. Thank you again to everyone at VEG for taking such great care of my dog Pixie and for going the extra mile the entire way through the process.

I’m so glad we decided to take our 15 year old baby Ruby here! The doctors and nurses were exceptional and compassionate, explaining everything to us thoroughly, they were honest about Ruby’s prognosis and gave me space to cry and process my emotions, and they explained everything they were doing every step of the way. They genuinely care about our pets and treat them with love and care. The waiting room is very calming and comfortable and the facility looks very advanced, like a human ER. When we brought Ruby in, she was in very bad condition and they took care of her immediately. The doctors and nurses answered all our questions patiently, they explained her condition and every test result, and they let me stay next to Ruby for hours late at night. Even when I went home to rest, they texted us to update us on her condition. They were exceptional at making both me and my pet feel safe and comfortable and they went out of their way to make sure Ruby was comfortable and taken care of. The doctor even sat down with me personally and talked with me about how I was doing and encouraged me to take care of myself. I’m happy to say Ruby, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, is much better now thanks to VEG ER and she’s recovering nicely! She’s back to her happy, energetic, cute, hungry, bossy self. They talked to us honestly about what to expect and what signs to look out for, explained her home medication to us, and they’re willing to work with you on pricing and different options for your pet’s care. If I were you, I’d 100% come to VEG ER for your pet’s emergency care :) Edit: Ruby’s doctors were Dr. Kahn, Dr. Finney, Dr. August, and Dr. Villarraga, her nurses were Krista, Manuel, and a few others I unfortunately don’t remember the name of. The whole team, both day shift and night shift, were excellent from the doctors to the nurses to the front desk to everyone else involved in Ruby’s care ❤️

This was my first visit to a pet ER. Every interaction I had with staff was exceptional, from my initial phone call, my interaction with the receptionist upon arrival, the nurses and assistants, and the two vets I saw during two consecutive days. Although my visit was prompted by a possible toxic ingestion of an unknown quantity of grapes that required two visits, observation, and blood tests over a two-day period - rather than a trauma situation requiring critical and immediate intervention - I was impressed with the staffing at every step of the process and how they interacted with every person who brought a pet to the ER. Hopefully, my dog will not require an ER visit in the future, but if she does I will not hesitate to return to the Sandy, UT VEG ER. I was very impressed with the entire facility and the people.

My first choice for er service for my pets. Was the best and knew my pet was in the best care and anyone needing an er for their pet this should be your first no matter the drive time. I won’t go anywhere else. They went above and beyond even transporting my pet to another place for her to get surgery. They even worked all nice to find a place for her to have her surgery done first thing in the morning taking that stress off of me. They believed in her as much as she did herself and they gave her a whole new life living and loving.

If you are in the unfortunate position that your pet needs immediate care this place is amazing. The people are kind and patient. There’s also snacks, coffee, chargers etc for your use while you wait. I hope I never need them again but if I do I will know my dog is in good hands.

We have used VEG in Texas and now in Las Vegas for our highly traumatized rescue Dolce. The staff is extremely efficient and caring. You are involved in every decision for your pet. Not only consenting to the treatment but how it is administered to be more successful and less invasive. Seeing this extremely supportive employee culture in 2 states is evidence of great management. I asked if staff like working at VEG and every response is genuine and absolute. This translates to a better customer experience. Special thanks to Angie, Nurse Louise, and Dr. Julie Jones.

They take good care of your animals and us nice waiting area drinks and snacks for all . Also staff treat us like family and friends.My dog Daisy is as in good hands with doctor Mathew and associates.

Oh my goodness! I am SO incredibly thankful we were recommended to VEG ER yesterday! ❤️ They treated my baby like he was their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Going to our regular vet can be really difficult for him, so I had never seen him so happy, calm, and comfortable around a veterinary staff before. From the warm welcome, to triage, the vet assistants, and the doctor—every single person was absolutely amazing. I’m honestly overwhelmed with tears thinking about how much love and care they showed my baby. 🥹❤️ The compassion they gave him meant more to me than I can even put into words. I can’t recommend VEG ER enough! If you ever find yourself needing emergency care for your fur baby, this is definitely the place. 🐾

Exemplary veterinary care! We live less than 15 minutes from another VEG location, but I will always drive 40 minutes to VEG Newton, because here we feel safe and trust that Dobby is in great hands. My 15 year old husky came in early Saturday with explosive bloody diarrhea. He was lethargic and confused, after ongoing GI issues that a previous ER visit never resolved. Dr. Kennedy was warm, confident, and thoughtful. She walked me through her reasoning, laid out clear options, and invited me to stay by Dobby’s side through his tests, which meant everything for the attached mature puppy. She also put his case on high alert before releasing us, and when I called with a question, Dr. Risch already knew his care without needing a briefing. Over 14 hours on Saturday and 6 more at Monday’s follow up, we watched the team fly across the floor checking on every patient and stay positive even as emergencies rolled in. The whole team was phenomenal, and a few deserve a special thank you for the small things that really stood out. Ed (perhaps Matt?) loosely wrapped Dobby’s fluffy tail to keep it clean and placed his IV catheter on the first try, which is no small feat for a dehydrated, needle cringe pup. Jen checked in all day, took extra care removing bandages from his fur, and sent us home with sample Rx food he actually loves! Emily was so thoughtful when taking his X rays. And Maddy was gentle and thorough with his ultrasound. The best proof came on his IV potty breaks. Dobby, who typically refuses anything he does not like, happily explored the shopping center nearby and then pulled me back to the hospital, not the car! He must have felt better and comfortable there, and to me that was the clearest sign he felt safe and loved in their care. We walked in with a lethargic husky and walked out with a curious huskydoodle, well on his way to a full recovery. One note for leadership: during our stay, about 20% of patients seemed to need imaging interpretation. At that volume, outsourcing radiologist may be leaving real value on the table. A dedicated in-house radiologist would give your clinicians a real-time thought partner, shorten diagnostic turnaround, and strengthen continuity of care for patients and families. Worth benchmarking your historical imaging case volume! All in all, thank you, VEG Newton! Y’all are all rockstars and we are so grateful!

This place and the people are amazing! Taking your fur baby to the hospital and having to leave them there is stressful and scary. The doctor’s and nurses were so kind and empathetic. They made everything a lot easier. It’s amazing how you can stay there with your fur baby as long as want and they make you feel very comfortable and keep you informed. Teddy was pretty sick but they were amazing with him and even celebrated his birthday, got him some toys and made him feel special! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby overnight. I love the open floor plan and the encouragement to stay there with your pet for as long as you want. Thank you so much for your kindness and exceptional care when it came to Teddy. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I am so thankful I brought my baby girl Roxy to this ER. The entire staff was genuinely loving and caring during one of the hardest moments of our lives. They took us in right away and made her end of life process peaceful and comforting. A special thank you to Amanda, who went above and beyond to make Roxy a special charcuterie plate ...seeing how happy it made her eat meant the world to us. Thank you all for your extraordinary kindness.

Our family will forever be grateful to the entire VEG team for the incredible care, compassion, and support you showed us and our sweet Kato during our last two visits. While our experience was bittersweet, every member of the team we encountered made a lasting impression on us during one of the most difficult times of our lives. We even made new friends along the way, and that has been absolutely priceless! From the moment we arrived, we felt surrounded by people who genuinely cared. Each person who helped us, comforted us, and cared for Kato contributed to making an incredibly painful experience a little easier to bear. Your patience, kindness, understanding, and willingness to walk alongside us through such a heartbreaking time meant more than you will ever know. Losing a beloved pet is like losing a member of your family, and the emotions that come with saying goodbye are indescribable. We are so thankful that, during our most vulnerable moments, we were met with such tenderness, compassion, and understanding. It was evident that the entire team recognized how deeply Kato was loved and how much he meant to us, and that made all the difference. To every staff member who played a part in caring for Kato and supporting our family, THANK YOU!!! Although we wish things had turned out differently, we are incredibly thankful that we had your team beside us through it all. The kindness you extended to us is something we will always carry in our hearts. We thank God for each and every one of you! Thank you for the work you do, the hearts you serve with, and the love you show to animals and their families when they need it most. You are making a difference in ways you may never fully realize. Your compassion reaches far beyond the medical care you provide; you bring comfort, reassurance, and genuine human connection during some of life’s most heartbreaking moments. Kato will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will never forget the care, dignity, and compassion your team showed him and our family. We would also like to extend a special thank-you to Dr. David for providing such outstanding care to our sweet Kato! Dr. David is truly one of a kind! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was exactly who Kato and our family needed during one of the most heartbreaking and difficult times of our lives. There are no words to fully express how grateful my husband and I are for the care, compassion, and support he provided to Kato and to us throughout this experience. Dr. David, thank you for being such a remarkable veterinarian and, just as importantly, for being authentically YOU! Your kindness and the way you cared for our family during such a vulnerable time mean more to us than you will ever know. We are so thankful that God placed you in our path when we needed it most. To the entire VEG team and Dr. David, thank you for being a blessing to our family and for caring for our sweet boy. We will forever be grateful! 🙏🏼❤️ With gratitude, Sylvana & Scott
