They are amazing!! Thank you Dr. Valdez, Cora and Heidi for taking care of my dog Libby. She is feeling much better!

Highly recommend VEG for your pet emergencies. Our papillon suffered anaphylaxis from an unknown source, and they immediately started care in their open concept facility, explaining what was going on while encouraging us to ask questions. . We were never put in a room behind closed doors to approve inflated prices prior to our pet receiving emergency care. All the staff were competent, professional and kind. Pricing was very fair.

I wanted to thank everyone in VEG, for their excellent work, patience and dedication. They saved my dog’s life yesterday. My dog developed an acute pancreatitis and bloody stools in the evening after 5PM, I took him to the ER worried he might not make it to the second day’s vet appointment. He was having faucet diarrhea with a lot of blood, vomiting and everything developed within an hour. Dr. Blair and a lot of nurses gave him a full blood check, x-ray and all kinds of analysis. They also give Mocha IV and a lot of other helpful medications, which are exactly what he needed. I can see my baby started to wake up to life after the IV. They are very knowledgeable, and they kept telling me it’s Mocha’s new diet. I couldn’t believe it, because it is Farmer’s Dog Food, the so called “fresh” and “most healthy” dog food, no to mention it is so damn expensive. Today I did a lot of research on dog food, guess what… they are right, it is the Farmer’s dog food. There are many other cases, and a lawsuit on Farmer’s dog food that leads to bloody diarrhea and pancreatitis. Thank you everyone working in there, you guys are angels. I know nowadays everywhere is under staffed, but you guys have been doing an amazing job and saving the lives. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!

The vet care you have always needed and might not have known you were missing!!!! Excellent care, open concept office that allows you to REMAIN with your pet while they receive care! And the staff was so friendly and empathetic. 100 stars!

Brought in my senior dog Zula October 2026. It was fast, communicative, caring, and relatively inexpensive (less than I thought, not unreasonable). Did not guilt or pressure me into unnecessary imaging, and took very good care of my dog. Pets are kept mostly in full view of the public so nothing shady going on. Gave me good advice, answered my questions, and gave me a nice little goodie bag. It was $200 for an emergency exam for my 10 lb senior dog who was suddenly very still and unable to sleep, eat, or move properly. They offered a thorough explanation, different options, explained everything well, and she even made some adjustments to give me a few discounts. I was able to pay right on my phone very hassle free. My dog ended up being ok, luckily, and will be better with ongoing meds and care. Overall very good experience!

This was such a positive experience. We were recommended to go to an emergency hospital in N Dallas. We signed up online to get in line, so we wouldn’t have to wait in the waiting room. They took us back as soon as we arrived. Then proceeded to leave us in the exam room for 2 hours without any communication for those 2 hours. Then someone came back and offered us beverages. Really? We remembered we had met some VEG Drs at an event and decided we should go back to Allen and try VEG. It was night and day, 1000% more positive…We were greeted at the door as soon as we got out of the car! Then taken right back to an exam room and a vet tech (Sara-ie (sp? sorry) was 2 minutes right behind to triage Lilibet! From arrival to discharge everyone was so wonderful and the entire visit was +/- an HOUR! We’ll never go to another ER in the future because it was such a positive experience, we’re fans of VEG♥️ Additionally, every staff member at VEG was awesome! I wish I had asked the lady who greeted us name, but she’s wonderful, Sara-ie (sp?😬) was so sweet, careful and gentle with Lilibet, Carlos was amazing, he got nipped on accident, while Lilibet was being treated and was a champ about it and of course Dr Rodriguez, her bedside manner and care for Lilibet was thorough and she explained everything in detail, which we very much appreciated. Lilibet is in our care, while her mom’s in London, so it was also nice that everyone was very understanding and willing to help us care for her…

Dr Volkman is so knowledgeable, and the whole staff that was there on Thursday night were fantastic! So calm, caring, compassionate and kind. Everyone knew what to do, and they kept me calm while I was a mess on the inside. Thank you for caring for my pup 🐕 I edited my review to add more, from my experience on Sunday night. I was seen by Dr. Koons and she was just fantastic. The staff were all so dedicated and attending to all the pets in need. I don't know how they juggled all that with smiles on their faces, but these women are just saints! Thank you for your patience with all my questions and helping get Joey comfortable.

There is a calm vibe here, and an open layout. It's WAY better than a typical emergency vet, which feels like walking into an active operating room. They have sofas set up and everyone hangs out communal-style with their sick animals and great staff. They also have private rooms. The Doctors and support staff helped our two dogs who both got into rat poison in the yard. We spent 24 hours there flushing the pups out, and met lots of different employees. Everyone we interacted with had a great disposition. We had to wait on occasion but you're in an emergency room, so that is expected. It is not inexpensive to have this caliber of employee and level of service. Bring cash or pet insurance. Despite this reality, we highly recommend!

Extremely caring, compassionate and honest. Best experience we’ve ever had with a pet at an emergency veterinary facility! Upon arrival, they gave us a mat so that we could sit on the floor to keep our dog comfortable while he waited for the doctor. Wonderful staff. Very attentive. And thorough - the doctor went over all the options to help us choose the best course of care for our pup.

After a long travel day yesterday, my dog, Louis stepped on something that cut open his paw and required a small procedure where he needed to be sedated. I was SO impressed with the staff. They were efficient and knowledgeable and most importantly- so friendly/fun - which was impressive on a busy Saturday Halloween night! Dr. Bush, Winnie, Jorge and Brandy were all great to work with. They all went above and beyond (and when we left without his cone, Brandy sent it to us so we didn’t have to come back). I’d never been here before and they made the situation so much better. Hopefully your pet doesn’t need the ER but if/when it happens - go here - I can’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely recommend. From the moment I walked in I felt like my dog was in good hands. I appreciate the set up that the animal is immediately assessed and getting to stay there with them is a really great touch. I have been in emergency situations with my dog before and we had to wait in a waiting room, then he was taken back and I had no idea what was going on. From my experience, the cost of this hospital was very affordable compared to others. When I got my quote I was shocked at the price and confident I would be able to do all I could to help my dog. I am confident I was given every option available and was informed fully to make decisions regarding his care. Dr. Beuser went above and beyond and I can’t thank him and the team enough for their care of my beloved companion, Brewster.

This is not a place any of us want to end up with our beloved pets, but the staff is really caring and thorough, and they made the experience as comfortable as possible for me and my little man, Charles. Thanks to the skill and care of the team, I’m one of the lucky ones who was able to go home with my buddy this time, and although his time is limited, his full and very quick recovery from surgery has given me a chance to enjoy some extra time with him, and that means the world to me. Thank you so much to everyone who helped over the past couple days during such a difficult time.

I had a perceived emergency with my cat James Thomas Johnson aka Jimbob (lol) and my choices were either Leader in Cooper City or VEG Pembroke Pines. The choice was easy for me as I had already had a good experience at the VEG Fort Lauderdale. By good experience, I mean the night staff was absolutely amazing. I was losing and evidentially did end up losing my cat, Denver. I was an absolute wreck as 1) I’ve never lost a pet before so the pain and overall experience was shocking and brand new 2) carried guilt from dismissing signs that her kidney diesease worsen rapidly because she just had bloodwork done about 2/3 months prior and it was okay, and 3) I was dealing with an asshole of a bf at the time who wasn’t treating or speaking to me kindly while losing my bestfriend and essentially my earth guardian— so I was the most absolute hottest mess. The reason why I am bringing all of the up aside from being that I trusted VEG previously and felt very cared for, is because I was blessed enough to cross paths with the same vet that helped me through my experience with Denveralmost 3 years ago— Dr. Marilyn Prieto! JimBob thankfully ended up being okay and I was shown his X-rays and all else to have further validation. It was healing to cross paths with her again and this time have a positive outcome. I can’t express enough how amazing of a soul she is and everyone else who was working with her were also all so sweet! I’ll bring my cats to VEG any and every time we have an emergency and I will always recommend them to other people when the opportunity presents itself

As a veterinary technician for general practice, I was absolutely blown away by the kindness, caring, comforting staff from the second I walked in and was greeted by Gabbie who was absolutely an angel to me my entire visit. I had to rush my 14 year-old diabetic senior dog over there late at night because he declined very quickly and was not well. I did end up doing tests and ultimately euthanized him. I was devastated and heartbroken. But having caring souls around you at a time like that, REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE AND I CANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!! During my stay , everyone was hands on with not only Dennis, but ME. They were prompt , hands on, transparent , efficient, professional but also personable people. All of you. I especially want to acknowledge the names that I remember who worked with me and Dennis that night- Gabbie❤️Dr Tiffani ❤️Maddie ❤️Sam ❤️Jess ❤️Floyd. You all made a huge difference and continue to do so whether you are a CSR, technician , veterinarian - you all matter. Thank you from the botttom of my heart

This entire group of people are not just people they are community of compassionate experienced understanding and extremely phenomenal veterinarians, vet technicians, the vet director the receptionist everyone at this location was beyond phenomenal caring and passionate about animals and the people that belong to the animals. The day before I was blessed to meet this team I had taken my beloved esa dog to another emergency vet that was more local to me but only local buy a few more miles. I arrived there at 7:30 p.m. and did not leave until 4:30 a.m. the following morning 32 minutes of that was standing at the desk waiting to be checked out They pushed the upsell and thrived on the devastation that your pet was in distress and you were an emotional turmoil. The previous ER vet pushed diagnostic I understand it's important but they were more concerned about collecting funds for testing then treatment and assistance for the animal and when you didn't have the $12,000 for the surgery they encouraged euthanization they were not very honest. The following day I contacted VEG and I was obviously an emotional distress lack of sleep and devastated that I may lose my best friend my therapist and my family member. (My canine). Dr D'Angelo spoke to me on the phone I was quite impressed that the veterinarian the doctor on duty took the time to promptly speak to me about the symptoms and conditions of my pet. (Their system is not set up as a traditional standard over priced product ) they are more focused on the treatment appreciate the diagnostics however my symptoms were pretty obvious and once I gave her all the information I had from the traumatic experience the night before with the other people they did not just start applying to an estimate and started out with financials they created a plan of action with urgency and compassion and they made it work all of them work together as a community of passionate caring doctors and technicians When my pet and I arrived we were greeted with their receptionist and intake specialist she was amazing offered snacks drinks in the meantime being very patient with taking our information Dr D'Angelo spoke to me she promptly looked at the pet to see the size of the bladder stones in question explained some of the Dynamics and spoke to the director and the whole team and even some they came in on their day off they walked me through the process of the procedure the testing results explained each one of them and the Dynamics and concerns of any elevations that were present in her blood work. I arrived at VEG at approximately 11:30 a.m. by 1:30 2:00ish my dog was being taken back to begin her surgery. Before I left VEG they told me I could call anytime to follow up on progress and if there is anything that was concerning or they had to stop couldn't move forward I would be contacted so after I rested at home for a couple hours I called and spoke to Dr D'Angelo again and she let me know how the whole thing went and that my dog was in recovery. When my dog was picked up there was a clear list of follow-up instructions all her medications and a bag of special dog food for her they even called and spoke to me on the phone asked if I had any concerns and wanted to follow up and see that she was doing okay. Over the course a couple days I had some questions so I would call in the veterinarian duty the actual doctor we get on the phone promptly and answer any questions concerns or suggestions that they may offer beyond reasonable doubt these people are true animal lovers and are very passionate and compassionate about their line of work and have an extreme amount of knowledge.

I cannot say enough nice things about this place and the people who work there. I brought in my dog, Todo, and every single person I came into contact with had excellent communication skills, empathy, and were just SO kind the entire time. The issue my dog had was enough of an emergency, but also not top priority in comparison to some other animals that were there. I knew this going in! That being said, plan to bring some headphones, or things to keep you busy in case you do have to wait a while! I did end up waiting quite some time, but they were extremely communicative with me the entire visit and I completely understood that they had to take care of the most sick patients first! I know that not all animals are easy to treat like my dog was, so huge shoutout to Dr Samantha Pool for your hard work while still maintaining professional and empathetic care. Your job cannot be easy! Special thank you to Grace, our nurse, and Morgan, who greeted us at the door and regularly checked in on us. Grace kept in touch with me while I briefly went home and she sent pictures of my dog before his procedure! She was the best!!! I highly recommend bringing your pets here should you ever need professional, empathetic, kind and communicative emergency care!

An Absolutely Incredible Experience — Compassionate, Professional, and Full of Heart! I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG Emergency Veterinary Hospital. After rescuing a severely underweight, frantic, malnourished dog from the highway late at night, looked like she had also recently nursed puppies, she was clearly in a very vulnerable condition. I brought her home to help her calm down, give her food and water, and figure out the best place to take her for help. VEG was the first place I called, and from that very first phone call, I knew I was speaking with people who genuinely cared. The woman who answered the phone, whose name I believe was Kristen, was absolutely amazing. She was kind, comforting, professional, and incredibly helpful. She patiently walked me through the entire process, explained what to expect, and provided all the information I needed to feel comfortable bringing the dog in, even though it was already around 11:30 p.m. By the time I arrived, it was a little after midnight, and I was blown away by the entire experience. The facility was spotless, the staff was welcoming and professional, and every single person I encountered was warm, attentive, and compassionate. What touched me most was watching how the staff immediately embraced this sweet dog. They first scanned her for a chip , weighed her and checked her stats and soon after several of the women sat right on the floor with her, offering her water and food, gently petting her, and showering her with the love and reassurance she so desperately needed. She seemed to feel comfortable with them almost immediately. Watching these women surround her with such genuine kindness was incredibly moving. Because she was so underweight and malnourished, the team made arrangements to keep her and ensure she received the care she needed. Their attentiveness, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond gave me so much peace of mind. I rescued this dog because I couldn’t bear to leave her on the highway and get hit by a car-my adrenaline kicked in and I was determined to rescue her! Seeing her welcomed with so much love and compassion meant everything to me! You can tell when people are simply doing a job and when they genuinely have a heart for what they do. This team has heart. Every interaction made me feel that this dog was in good hands and that her well-being truly mattered to them. Hands down, one of the best veterinary experiences I’ve ever had. I am beyond grateful to the entire VEG team, especially the wonderful woman who answered my initial call and every staff member who cared for this sweet girl that night. If you ever find yourself in an emergency with your pet or an animal in need, I cannot recommend VEG Emergency Veterinary Hospital enough. They treated both of us with kindness, patience, and compassion when we needed it most. Thank you for being the kind of people who make a difference, not just through your medical care, but through your hearts. ❤️ God bless you all!

VEG save my Great Dane’s life! She was bitten by a western diamondback rattlesnake about 1 inch below her right eye. VEG Gave her better care and treatment than I have received in hospitals myself. Dr. Conn Was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Without her guidance, I know my Izzy would no longer be here. The nurse that was with us sat in the floor with a blanket for over an hour, never leaving my baby’s side. Checked her vitals every five minutes. She treated her like I feel she would have treated her own kid. I will never take one of my animals anywhere else. And I would have paid them triple the amount of money it cost me if I would have known how amazing their service is!

The veg team did an exceptional job! Every time we’ve come here, the service is always over the top! They are all very caring and attentive to not only the dogs needs, but also our needs as well! CEC Zara was very welcoming, nurse Dina was very attentive, and Dr. Conn was very empathetic very good at listening to our concerns at a time where we were nervous and scared. She offered wonderful solutions and she worked with us to help our dog get better! We had to go in two days in a row first time being our dog was in pain and very anxious and Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in, Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an amazing job. Thank you so much to you and your incredible team. We are super appreciative to you all! 🙏🏻 something else I love about veg is that they don’t take your pet out of sight. You’re able to see them pretty much at all times while they’re caring for them. If your Pet is experiencing an emergency, I would definitely not even think twice and bring them here to veg for any of their emergency needs!

I want to say thank you to the team that took me in and answered my questions, shown great compassion for the hardest choice I ever had to do and that was saying good bye to my baby boy Bentley. Their end of life program was as smooth as it could be and they helped me with my options with going forward in letting him go. They work with a great cremation company called paws to heaven and Keith was an amazing and kind person in understanding my grief as well.
