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.

We found our cat under the table sick yesterday morning. We called multiple vets around the Valley that could not see him. So we took him to VEG ER to get him looked at. They got us right in looked him over quickly. Unfortunately it was too late for our cat. The vet was honest about his condition, and gave us choices. The staff and vets made our cat comfortable for end of life care and they were kind to us and gave us time with him while we said good-bye. Thank you for taking care of our baby.

Veg ER provided my baby Ace with exceptional care and attention. The staff made us feel comfortable and gave Ace his own little super soft blanket! Dr. Bailey was very informative and professional! With all that was happening in the ER, Jessie was able to care for other patients and still give Ace great customer service! I can only give 5 stars but the service was a 10 out of 10!

Fantastic care and great service. My dog had a foreign object in her and was transferred to VEG at the recommendation of my urgent care vet. After a consult with VEG, they provided different treatment paths and were considerate of my budget. The entire team was fantastic, intelligent, and caring. During my dog's recovery, we had to return once more, and again the whole crew was fantastic, providing tiered/escalating treatment plans based on her response(s) during recovery.

God forbid you ever need their services, but if you need it, these people are absolutely amazing! They love animals first off, and their customer service is amazing! They’re accommodating and understanding! They made us all feel right at home and completely comforted us in our time of need! Our dog loved all of them, which made getting his treatment so much easier. I am so grateful they were able to see us so fast. Thank you again for your services!

I could not more highly recommend VEG ER for your pet's urgent care needs! The staff were super empathetic and all so loving to my senior dog, even though she was nervous, the vet techs made her feel comfortable and were able to get her to cooperate easily. The beyond kind staff went above and beyond for my baby and i am so appreciative! Not only were they good with my dog, they were also really reassuring to me and very directly explained the options. I love this place and am so grateful to the staff for their devotion and care!

What can I say? The veterinary staff at VEG are simply outstanding in every way. My mother brought our little dog, Gia, because she had several epileptic seizures one after another. From the moment my mom arrived, the entire staff immediately focused on Gia. They took her from my mother’s arms and rushed her inside so they could stabilize her properly. They kept her hospitalized overnight, and whenever we called, they always provided us with updates on Gia’s condition and progress. Honestly, if it hadn’t been for them, Gia might not be alive today. Excellent veterinary team! 💓 They are people who truly love animals and are dedicated to their work. Their compassion, professionalism, and commitment made all the difference for our family. We are forever grateful. 🐾💖

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough amazing things about VEG Allen and the entire team, especially Dr. Brown and the Monday night shift team (7/20). Our local urgent care veterinarian referred us to VEG after my dog, Koe, swallowed a corn cob. They had already attempted to induce vomiting without success, so after an almost hour-long drive, we arrived a little after 10:00 PM. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with smiles and immediately brought back. The hospital itself is unlike any emergency vet I’ve ever seen. Being able to stay with your pet throughout the process or see them at all times even if they required a procedure made an incredibly stressful situation so much more comforting. The team first tried a stronger medication to induce vomiting, but unfortunately the corn cob still didn’t come up. Dr. Brown sat down with me and thoroughly explained our options: endoscopy or surgery. She answered every question I had, never made me feel rushed, and had such a calm, reassuring presence that immediately put me at ease during one of the most stressful nights I’ve had as a pet owner. After talking with my husband, we chose to move forward with an endoscopy since it was less invasive, more cost-effective, and offered a quicker recovery. By the time bloodwork was complete, it was after midnight, and now my birthday. Spending my birthday at an emergency animal hospital definitely wasn’t how I imagined celebrating. Unfortunately, the endoscopy was unsuccessful because of where the corn cob was lodged. Once again, Dr. Brown patiently walked me through our options. She even told us we could have our regular veterinarian perform the surgery the next day if cost was a concern. After another conversation with my husband, we decided to move forward with surgery at VEG because, despite only knowing Dr. Brown for about three hours, I trusted her completely. I was able to watch through the OR window as Dr. Brown successfully removed the corn cob. During surgery, I mentioned to one of the nurses that it was my birthday. When Dr. Brown came out after surgery to tell me everything had gone well, she wished me a happy birthday and said she was sorry this was how I was spending it. That simple kindness meant so much. I stayed until Koe woke up from anesthesia before heading home around 4:00 AM. Before I left, Dr. Brown told me she would personally call with an update between 7:00 and 8:00 AM. At exactly 8:00 AM, my phone rang. She let me know Koe was doing great, explained the plan for the day, and said that if he continued eating well, he could come home that evening. When we returned that night to pick him up after my birthday dinner, I walked over to Koe’s kennel and immediately burst into tears. The staff had decorated his kennel with a Happy Birthday banner, put a birthday headband on Koe, bought cupcakes, a little plant, and a birthday card for me. After such an emotional, exhausting 24 hours running on almost no sleep, that thoughtful gesture was beyond anything I could have ever expected and meant more to me than words can express. The medical care we received was exceptional, but what truly sets VEG apart is the compassion, empathy, and humanity of every single person we encountered. They treated Koe like he was their own, and they treated me with so much kindness during an extremely stressful time. Dr. Brown and the entire Monday night team, you are all absolutely incredible. Thank you for saving my sweet boy and for turning what could have been one of the worst birthdays into one I’ll never forget for all the right reasons. To the VEG leadership team: if you read these reviews, please know that Dr. Brown and the Monday night staff deserve every bit of recognition. They are an incredible group of professionals who exemplify what emergency veterinary medicine should be. I sincerely hope we never have another emergency, but if we do, I will gladly drive an hour back to VEG Allen without hesitation. I will also recommend VEG to every pet owner I know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We took our 16yo lab in on a Friday night. From the person who greeted us to our tech to our vet, I cannot overstate how kind and empathetic everyone was. It was wonderful for our family to be with Lucy the whole time. The fee was extremely reasonable for emergency care. Highly recommended!

Drove an hour here for emergency care because the emergency vet closest to me is deplorable. The staff at VEG was caring and very sweet. They were also very thorough about everything. They even brought my boy a bed and blankie while we waited for x-ray results. It is expensive (as all emergency vet care is), and it took a while due to the triage nature of the facility, but the staff here is truly amazing. I definitely recommend.

My dog, Pepper, got on the counter and stole a rib from our bbq take out container. She had the whole rib down her throat before we could grab her. I called for some guidance and they suggested we come in. We came right to VEG and were met with the most helpful staff! From beginning to end, I felt welcome and cared for. Pepper ultimately had to undergo surgery to remove the rib bone, and everything from the price to the process was explained thoroughly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend VEG for anyone in the vulnerable position of needing help with a pet. Thank you all for your care and attention to a very special part of our family. ❤️

Dr. Pham and team took excellent care of my sweet little cat Cheebo. The facility is comfortable, clean and inviting. No wait time. Would definitely recommend.

Here’s a Google review you could post: ★★★★★ We had to make one of the hardest decisions a pet owner can make today and say goodbye to our sweet little hamster. I wasn’t sure what to expect walking into VEG ER for Pets in Alpharetta, but from the moment we arrived, every single person we encountered treated us with incredible compassion, kindness, and respect. They never made us feel rushed. They answered every question with patience and gave my daughter and me all the time we needed to say goodbye. Even though our pet was tiny, they treated her life as though it mattered just as much as any other animal that came through their doors. We never felt like just another case or another bill. Before we left, they gave us a clipping of her fur and the tiniest paw prints they’ve ever made. Those keepsakes mean more to us than I can put into words and will be something we treasure forever. Losing a pet is heartbreaking, but VEG made an incredibly painful day just a little more bearable. We are grateful for the empathy, dignity, and genuine humanity they showed our family. Thank you for reminding us that the size of a life has nothing to do with the size of the love it leaves behind.

First time here and we will 100% be coming back for any future emergencies with our dog (hopefully not too many times lol). Our girl was taken care of from the second we walked in to the minute she left. We were able to be there with her the whole time, and all the staff were such a joy. Grateful it wasn’t life threatening—even then they still treated her with priority and made us feel heard. Thank you to the team! She says thank you as she’s currently on her pain meds lol

We recently found ourselves in need of emergency vet services in the middle of the night with an out of the ordinary stalled labor & delivery of our one of our expectant females in our breeding program. The entire staff was friendly & professional throughout our entire time & care at VEG, Asheville. Drs Bentley & E were great to work with! They acknowledged that I was veteran breeder, and understood this was not my first rodeo. Nick, Amy, & Kristy rounded out the entire team that came alongside me and my dog to assist in the best possible outcome for her care & her pups during our time at VEG. One of the MOST important aspects of VEG is that you are allowed to stay with your pet during their care. For a breeder this was the up most importance, for me to keep my eyes on my dog and how she was or was not progressing during her labor and that I was still able to whelp her pups myself. Great clinic & staff! Highly recommend! -Trish, Antler Creek Siberians

Treated my dog and me so wonderfully. They listened and were never dismissive, they answered my myriad of questions without being defensive or annoyance, the proposed a comprehensive plan without unnecessary elements, were open to modifying the plan when this was both ok medically and better fit my dog and life. There was pretty much no wait but then again I arrived very early in the morning. Later on there were more patients but I did observe the staff doing their best to give wait time estimates to callers and those walking in. At every moment it felt like they were all on my dog's team and I genuinely appreciate it. Finally all kudos to Dr. Fuentes who seems to suspect the diagnosis from the start and based mostly on my retelling of the events.

Took Chairman Meow for his last car ride & my husband I went in & the staff here was absolutely wonderful. They took great care of our baby & made us feel comfortable. It's never a good experience to send your baby home over the rainbow bridge, but they made the process more bearable. Even though our hearts were broken, we know Chairman was not able to live his best life anymore & he was in such good hands 💙 thank you all for taking care of our little boy

VEG was absolutely amazing and incredibly compassionate during one of the hardest moments I've experienced. My dog had been hit by a car, and I was completely overwhelmed, but the entire team helped me through the process with so much care and kindness. The nurse who cared for us was exceptional. She was comforting, patient, understanding, and incredibly gentle with both my dog and my emotions. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answered every question I had in a way that made me feel informed and supported. I wish I had gotten her name because she truly made such a difficult experience a little easier. I hope I never have another emergency, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to VEG. They have an outstanding team, and I'm so grateful for the compassion and care they showed us when we needed it most. Gilbert and I left with a smile!

Team, Without question , I would give this place six stars. The care loved and concerned that they showed or our little loved one and my wife, was more than I could ask for. We were there for an unfortunate circumstance , but you can feel the sincerity and love as soon as you walk through the doors. The attention we received, the detail in which we were explained what was happening and the follow up shows the people who work here , love what they do. It is a great happiness that I save my life.Receive the best care she could have ever gotten and is now doing great. Thank you to all the staff at Veg ER!!

We brought our lab Cortez in after swallowing something. He ended up having to have emergency surgery. The team at VEG made us feel so incredibly comfortable during this very scary time, they were attentive, kind, and reassuring. He was able to have surgery scheduled for the next day and his surgeon was phenomenal. Each time we brought Cortez in for follow ups everyone remembered him, and they were so excited to see him. Of course, nobody wants to have to visit an emergency vet, but if you do, I would highly recommend this place! Everyone was amazing, thank you so much.
