vet hospital

I cannot recommend this team and business enough. They were considerate, gentle, and informative from start to finish. We were immediately seen to a table (7 pm on a Sunday) and I waited no more than 10 minutes to see the vet, 15 minutes to have her tests started. The vet tech who came over first, Danny, actually sat on the floor in front of my dog to calm her and say hello while he asked me questions. The doctor, Dr. King, was so gentle with her and helped me understand the possible causes for her issue, treatment options (including the most affordable ones), and even talked to my dad in the phone because I needed some support while I was here. The vet tech that came to get her for Xrays and bloodwork, Shawnie (sp?), came over early while waiting for her partner to spend time with my pup and get to know her a little before they got started. Was it expensive? Yes. Did I expect that? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Thank you to this amazing team and to anyone reading this, I hope you never have to take your pets to a pet ER, but if you do - this is the place to go, hands down.

VEG is a wonderful asset to the community. They are kind, compassionate, and make connections with pet parents as well as the pets. I feel cared for as a human there in the time of distress with the pets I’ve taken there. The staff listen and communicate well and work with each pet’s personality to make the visit as comfortable as possible. I was able to participate in my pet’s care to ensure what needed to happen did.

Our family will be forever grateful to the team at VEG Easton for saving our sweet boy, Charlie. Charlie was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis and became critically ill. There were moments when we truly didn't think he was going to make it. We were devastated, scared, and preparing for the worst. From the moment we arrived, the entire team treated Charlie as if he were their own pet and treated us like family. A special thank you to Kayla, Gavin, Alissa, and Dr. Shay. Their compassion, expertise, patience, and genuine care were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They took the time to explain everything, answer our countless questions, and support us through one of the most difficult experiences we've ever faced. The medical care Charlie received was exceptional, but what made the biggest difference was the time, attention, and love they poured into him. We truly believe that their dedication played a huge role in his recovery. Today, Charlie is back home with us and continuing to improve, and we know we owe that to this incredible team. Thank you for giving us more time with our beloved boy. We will never forget the kindness, compassion, and hope you gave us when we needed it most. ❤️ Charlie's very grateful family 🐾

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.

I cannot thank this hospital and their incredible team enough for saving my kitten’s life. My kitten was in a life-threatening emergency after swallowing a foreign object and needed immediate surgery. The doctors and staff spent several hours performing the operation, and throughout the entire process they showed an incredible level of professionalism, patience, compassion, and dedication. From the moment we arrived, everyone treated us with kindness and took the time to explain every step of the treatment. Even during such a stressful and emotional time, they never made us feel rushed and answered every question with patience and genuine care. It was clear that they truly cared about my kitten as if it were their own. Their skill, determination, and love for animals gave my kitten a second chance at life. They literally brought my kitten back from the brink of death, and I will be forever grateful for everything they did. The care didn’t stop after the surgery—they continued to monitor my kitten closely and made sure we understood how to care for the recovery at home. It is rare to find a veterinary team that combines exceptional medical expertise with such warmth, kindness, and heartfelt compassion. Every doctor, technician, and staff member went above and beyond, and I will never forget what they did for my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience, your compassion, your dedication, and for saving my kitten’s life. You truly are heroes, and I will always recommend this hospital to anyone who wants the very best care for their beloved pets.

This team loves animals! The Roseville location, while new, runs like a tight and smooth sailing ship. It is evident when you walk in the doors that animals and their owners are instantly cared for. We brought in our dog and felt that when he was discharged two days later, he was now their dog too. It was such a reassuring and emotional feeling as an owner. Thanks to Dr Weberg who let us be close and comfort our pug while working ever so carefully on him. I've never experienced so much calm, positive professionalism in a veterinary office, let alone an emergency room. Thank you to all of the kind doctors and remarkable staff who helped Charley (and us) get through a very scary ordeal! He's happy and healthy and home ♥️

This is the only place we want to take our dog in an emergency - the staff are exceptional and the care is top notch!! Our large 12-year old dog (Rugar) was suddenly struggling to breathe, lethargic, and unable to move - so we went straight to VEG. Their team sprung into action by carrying him out of the car when we arrived, assessing him immediately, and then within 5-10 minutes being able to give us an initial picture of what was happening. He was admitted overnight with a comprehensive care plan. They made me comfortable to stay with him (blankets, pillows, pull out couch, snacks, drinks) - and they were constantly checking on him (and me) with love, tenderness and incredible medical/technical skill and know-how. Thank you to Dr. Vitale, Raegan, KiKi, Amanda, and the rest of the team for your immediate action, high quality care, exceptional communication, and the thoughtful time you took to transition us over to new folks at each person’s shift change. This win was all you!! Thank you to Fran, Dr. Peckham, Dr. Li, Amanda, Lexie, and Kim for your constant care and diligence overnight and into the next day. You rocked it. To the folks in charge at VEG - this Peabody team is top notch. The genuine care and concern they show, regardless of how busy they are, is rare to find. Thank you for saving our old boy and for being so supportive of us through that scary time. 💜

VEG is one of the best pet emergency care with the best management in New York. 100% recommend to all pet parents. It was June 4th, Thursday night. Worried sick after discovering my kitten swallowed 1.5 inch long needle with few feet long thread attached called VEG at Williamsburg in Brooklyn at 11 pm. Receptionist picked up my call right away, put me on hold briefly to consult the doctor. She got back to me within less than a minute confirming it was a life threatening situation and sent me a link right away to finish checking in on my way to the hospital saving time and made checking in effortlessly easier. Even it seemed busy with other emergency pet cases around when I walked in, they were fast with their service. Dr. Blake-Marie Jones introduced herself as my kitten’s attending doctor. There was another doctor who simply must be mentioned was Dr. Wasi Ashraf. Since my kitten’s case was tricky she was constantly overshadowing the situation with was Dr. Jones. Then I learned she is the medical director of VEG who was off duty but made herself available despite the fact that it was in the middle of the night past 12 am. Instantly I knew my kitten was in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. As I had mentioned my financial concern, Dr. Jones discussed the least cost effective to the most cost effective treatment plans with the pros and cons to help me decide. Most importantly I was introduced to their payment plan available for the people with financial crisis as accidents happen with no warning. The doctors and the staffs are extremely humble, considerate and kind that they will help you figure out the financial situation reassuring a solution no matter what. Dr. Wasi even approved to help me financially from their donation fund to lower my cost. What else can you ask for while being afraid of your pet child’s life with minimum to no financial preparation. The entire hospital setup brings so much relief as you walk into VEG hospital. Just like human emergency care, VEG has many doctors and nurses available surrounded by many equipments ready for all procedures even surgeries for pets in need of emergency care. They even offer a self-serving coffee plus snack station adding more comfort to the sleepless night. A designated staff was present to help me throughout all the steps till I met my veterinarian. Dr. Jones was very transparent about the treatment plan considering the price range with success rate, in my case getting the needle with thread safely before it reached my kitten’s intestine and create more damage. They handled it perfectly as this case was time sensitive. They have done 2 x-rays to make sure the needle was still in the stomach. At the end of all worries, Dr. Jones came to me with the needle and thread as soon as she extracted them out from my kitten’s stomach. You could tell how excited she was from the success. That’s all you wanna see in your pet’s doctor, the passion. As much as I’m grateful to the almighty God, I will forever be grateful to VEG, to Dr Wasi, Dr Jones and the rest who were there for the journey, for such hospitality and sincerity they had shown towards me and my kitten. It’s the ideal hospital for pet emergency care that any pet owner can ask for.

There are simply not enough words to express my gratitude to everyone at VEG Williamsburg. My beloved dog, Hank, suffered a life-threatening heat stroke and arrived critically ill. From the moment we walked through the doors, every single person we encountered treated him as if he were their own. The level of urgency, expertise, compassion, and communication was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. The doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to stabilize him, explaining every test, every treatment, and every decision with incredible patience and kindness. Even during one of the most frightening moments of my life, I always felt informed, supported, and confident that Hank was receiving the very best care possible. What makes VEG so special isn’t just the outstanding emergency medicine—it’s the people. Every team member genuinely cared. They celebrated every small improvement with us, answered every question without hesitation, and treated us with empathy and respect. Their compassion was just as remarkable as their medical expertise. Because of their quick thinking, exceptional skill, and unwavering dedication, Hank recovered far better than I could have hoped. I will never forget what they did for him—or for us. Emergency medicine is one of the hardest jobs imaginable, yet this team performs it with grace, kindness, and extraordinary professionalism. VEG is a truly special place filled with truly special people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving Hank a second chance. We are forever grateful.

I recently had a late night mid-week visit to the VEG Littleton location for a laceration on my dog’s paw. It was a busy night at the ER! I called ahead and we were shown to a private room when we arrived - my dog, Swayze, is leash and barrier reactive so I really appreciated having a quiet space with him. Intake happened quickly but we ended up having to wait a few hours before it was his turn. The care team checked in on us often and provided updates. During the procedure, I was able to stay with Swayze while he was sedated and received stitches. And I was able to watch and ask questions, which I really appreciated. The doctor and the nurses were all incredibly friendly, compassionate, and patient. A+ to VEG! Thanks so much.

Excellent care, not just for my kitty Olive but also for me, as I was an emotional wreck. 🥰 Olive had a sudden and acute UTI, which required a midnight visit, and the place was PACKED. I was alarmed at how long we might have to wait, but we were out of there in two hours, and that's due to just how highly organized this place is. Olive had a full exam, many blood tests, medications on-site and to bring home, plus fluids (even a nail clipping!). My only beef was the staggering price tag, as it clearly takes advantage of these emergency situations. (It costs $310 just to walk in the door.) But like any cat owner, I would have paid double to get Olive treated immediately, and I'm grateful that VEG-- such a quality animal hospital-- is within walking distance from my house. Still, bills like these show that adopting an animal in 2026 has now become a luxury, and so fewer people will do it because of the costs. And that has such sad implications in so many ways. Nevertheless, VEG is a terrific and trustworthy animal hospital. Big praise goes to Dr. Tiffany Chan for her skill, thoroughness and compassion during such a stressful night for both Olive and myself. Thank you, Dr. Chan. ❤️

It's super stressful (obviously!) to have to take your pet to the ER. BOTH of ours had to go and the staff, experience and physical conditions at Veg Manhattan Beach were exceptional. From the intake with Lynn to the nurses Adrielle, Christina, and Daphne, I felt 100% comfortable and reassured that they truly had passion and expertise beyond just performing their respective duties. Dr. Hsu was amazing exuding the most calm and personable demeanor and is clearly super-intelligent, professional and thorough in terms of treatment procedures, and how she articulates options. She also has such humility when I suggested that she should have her own podcast because she has such a very charming personality. I've never had such an experience like this in being a pet owner for thirty years. The other remarkable aspect of Veg is the open floor concept where you're able to stay with your pet to help assuage any anxiety and be part of the treatment process, as opposed to just handing off to somebody and worrying. They are super welcoming and transparent in terms of what they're doing. It was very reassuring to know that I could just come in at any point after their overnight admittance to see my doggos or just to call, to find out what was going on. I felt like I had a family member or close friend who was taking care of our pets when they needed life saving measures. Thanks again!

We did not expect that during our vacation time in Colorado for the 4th of July weekend, Pancake will get sick and needs emergency assistance. I admired their expertise when giving emergency care to my fur-baby. They make sure that Pancake is comfortable and allowed us to stay the whole time he was admitted. I am grateful with Dr. Remy Watt and the team that day. Pancake was doing good with the 10-hour drive back home and recovering well. 😊

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.

2 for 2. No facility is perfect, and an ER naturally comes with its share of challenges, but we truly appreciate the care shown to our disabled pug. She suffers from spinal cord disease and is unable to relieve herself on her own, so occasionally we need a little help. Over the course of two visits, the staff was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring. Because it’s such a busy facility, there was only one staff member present during both visits, all the others were new to us. That said, every person we encountered clearly had our dog’s best interest in mind. Especially Dr. Kim and Dr Paola (Didn’t get her last name). As a pet owner, it’s important to understand the difference between what is medically necessary and what may be recommended to reduce liability or rule out more serious concerns. Some reviews criticizing costs may not fully recognize that distinction. Ask questions, educate yourself, and discuss options before approving testing — the staff has always been willing to explain recommendations and answer our questions thoroughly. If you are considering surgery and have the luxury of time, it may also make sense to consult with a specialist, as this is primarily an emergency facility. At the end of the day, aligning expectations with the purpose of the facility matters. We’ve consistently been impressed by the kindness, compassion, and professionalism shown to both us and our dog, and we will absolutely continue bringing her here when needed.

Dr. Eisemann, Eddy (triage nurse/tech) and Jade’s primary nurse, Sarah, were all fantastic. Dr Eisemann was very helpful, kept us updated on testing/delays, communicated with my husband and i thoroughly and even took the time to update Jade’s primary Doctor. Eddy was awesome.. he is an asset to your establishment.. very friendly, and constantly reassured us that Jade was in good hands. We saw him running around busily, helping everyone and making sure all the tests were done quickly. Sarah, Jade’s primary nurse was just as wonderful! She is a REAL cat lover. She was calm, helpful, kept us updated and even texted us photos of Jade for progress updates. Overall, this was the best pet ER we have been to and you can really tell that the staff love the animals they work with. I can’t thank you all enough for taking care of the little one that i love so dearly. She is back home, very happy, eating everything in sight, and bossing everyone around 😺

2 months ago I came into VEG ER after googling emergency vets nearby. I live 45 mins away but was at a loss of what to do regarding my beloved cat Figaro. 1 1/2 wks prior he had emergency surgery at his vet for a bad bladder obstruction. After that, Figaro just didn’t seem to recover 😢. I walked into VEG ER hoping for advice for his situation, knowing Figaro was at a place he wouldn’t be able to recover and the wknd a day away. The staff immediately came up and greeted me. I was crying so badly I couldn’t get a word out. They were so sweet and comforting; handing me tissues, letting me know I could take my time trying to get out Figaro’s condition. There was no rush and they were extremely attentive. I can’t thank those two sweet staff gals enough! All of my questions were answered and they gave me a tour-explaining each area of the ER. If your pet needs surgery, you have the option of being right alongside them during the whole thing. They have special secluded rooms w/fresh linen for a comfortable place to stay w/your pet for longer recovery times. There’s also a beautiful room to itself, set up w/soft lighting, quiet, warm, and comfortable for you and your pet if they need to be put to sleep. That part was very meaningful because at the regular vet, Figaro would’ve had to be put down on a cold metal table in an uncomfortable exam room. They went through all cost questions I had, as well as payment plan options. Everything was straight forward and there were no hidden fees. A huge plus was knowing I could bring my pet in and VEG does an assessment/checks vitals/ect. for no cost at all. If you decide to proceed w/the plan of care/advice from the Vet, you can. But you’re not obligated. It’s also open 24 hrs. I left there feeling so at ease knowing if I brought Figaro in, his last moments wouldn’t be so scary. We didn’t make it the next day. Figaro passed away. Here we are 2 months later. It’s the wknd w/no vet clinics open. I had no doubt where I would bring my other cat Goose who was ill. The staff grabbed the door for me right away, as I had my hands full w/Goose. An assessment and vitals were performed. While I waited for Dr. Megan Brewer’s care plan and advice, my mom and I were given a comfortable area to wait w/Goose. Dr. Megan was absolutely wonderful, along w/the rest of the staff that night! They didn’t rush Goose (which would have caused fear/anxiety), and had such a gentle approach. I was able to be w/him throughout all his tests and care. VEG also sends the visit and results to his regular clinic which is great! Seeing the way they interacted and cared for a couple other animals during that time was also comforting. I cannot say enough about VEG ER-Woodbury! I confidently recommend them to anyone wanting the best care during for their pet in an emergency. I wish more individuals put so much kindness and heart into their work like the staff do here❤️

I drove over an hour to receive care for my basset hounds digestive issue to prevent a blockage. I called before making the drive, I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Teal. Her expertise, professionalism, and clear plan gave me optimism. Her calm, soothing voice, was the cherry on top! Upon arrival, you’re greeted by a friendly receptionist, the facility is large and clean. Annett took great care of my boy. She was patient, gentle and confident in what she does. Dr. Carter and all staff don’t waste your time or money here. They know time is of the essence, I’m thankful I found this facility. Thank you VEG ER for everything!

I cannot speak highly enough of the team that cared for our Bernese Mountain Dog, Louis, yesterday after he ingested a corn cob. We were referred to VEG Naperville after a very frustrating experience at MedVet Chicago (where Louis is a regular patient for Wobblers Syndrome) and let me tell you - the experiences were night and day. Dr. Martin and her team Carlie, Catherine, and Meredith (hoping I remembered correctly!) were extremely kind and attentive to our boy. We got twice as much service in the same amount of time at MedVet and we loved being able to stay with him during his whole visit. Thank you again to the team!!

We can't say enough about VEG ER for Pets. The care was outstanding, we were involved in our pets care from the time I called to his after care instructions and leaving. Everyone treated us as a whole, explained everything clearly and concisely and answered any questions that came up. They made sure we were taken care of as well as our fur baby, we were treated as a whole unit and were involved in every step of his treatment and could be a part of the whole process and treatment which was a very long and unfortunately unproductive endoscopy, but we were told there was a chance it wouldn't work but we went ahead anyway. They tried their best and went above and beyond. We knew and saw first hand Sam was in great care. They were disappointed the endoscopy was unproductive. We were still very happy we went ahead with it, and understand their disappointment, they tried so hard. And they were very gentle with our big puppers the whole time and very respectful. There was much love, you could feel it. Highly recommend. We were hesitant to drive that distance that late at night but it was worth it. We look forward to having them open a clinic closer to home in case they are ever needed again
