I want to give a huge thanks to Dr. Manning, Dr. Riddick, and every staff member who helped when my cat’s health took a sharp turn. I brought my 10 month old kitten to VEG last week when he got sick and our regular vet couldn’t see him, and I’m so so thankful for the compassion and care from everybody who works there. I was able to bring him back within 24 hours for no extra exam fee where the staff determined that he should stay overnight for treatment. They talked me through what procedures they would be doing and presented different payment options as well. I was also allowed to either stay with him overnight or come and visit whenever. They helped me get life-saving medicine through Chewy, and overall I was just so grateful for our experience. The overnight staff even made a cute little name tag for my cat, and made sure he was comfortable through what was surely his scariest experience in life. I’m sitting here now watching him be his crazy self again, when just a week ago he wouldn’t even lift his head to look at me. Thank you VEG for everything!!!

I can’t thank my veterinarian in Princeton enough for saving my dog’s life! When he experienced a twisted stomach, the team acted quickly and efficiently, and I was amazed to see him walking out the very next day. A special shoutout to the incredible crew working from 5 PM to midnight for their outstanding care and support. You truly made a difference! Highly recommend! 🐾❤️ Thank You form Wesley and his family.

Early in the morning at 5:03 AM on July 17, 2026, my dog Ryan got bit by a Mojave green while we were running around in the desert. The VEG for pets Veterinarian group came through in a very tight spot. Ryan is at home now resting and recovering because of the great work this Veterinarian Hospital had initiated.

This place is so amazing! We brought our 10 year lab Charlie in. She had emergency surgery and Dr. Guenther and Karen saved her life!! I was able to sleep in bed right with Charlie night of surgery. The entire staff was so wonderful, caring, and answered many questions. Thank you all so much XOXO

I am very pleased with my visit here ☺️. My cat, Bobo, wasn’t eating or drinking. She felt very weak for two days. I had decided this wasn’t like her at all. So I rushed over here. the staff is incredibly kind and helpful❤️ they have a tough job. I found out Bobo had a high fever and tapeworms. though the bill wasn’t nice, I don’t blame anyone for it. An emergency vet comes with its costs. Immediately two days after visiting, Bobo was jumping on tables, using the litter, meowing. Just being herself again…☺️I was so happy!!! My cat was back to normal. no sickness, no fever, and she had medicine for her tapeworms. I definitely recommend you all to come here. just be patient with the staff. they’ve seen a lot, and they surely don’t make the prices. ❤️ so do not blame the staff for the enormous bills. what I did was I stated my budget and they were considerate of it. Below, I attached a before and after photo of Bobo😻visiting this location! (She had stayed in that box the entire day with no movement) no playing, eating, or anything. But after ! She was able to go up and down the stairs and play with her siblings 💕

After noticing our sweet boy was holding his neck down we took him to our local vet, we were given the run around on treatment options & were eventually told we needed a $5,000 MRI done at another clinic so that they can figure it out. We were keeping him medicated until we could get him into physical therapy because we were under the impression of a pinched nerve or disc issue & our local vet wouldn’t help us any longer. Fast forward two weeks later his health was declining. We made the decision to bring him into VEG, immediately we welcomed with the most compassionate and caring staff. Dr. Smith & Jacy came over to look at our boy & said she wanted to check for cancer. Many people brought their animals in the hours that we were there & the attention to Kane, my husband & I never slacked a bit. After some x-rays, it was confirmed that’s exactly what it was & unfortunately we had to make the decision to euthanize our boy. Jacy moved us into a private room to say our goodbyes, & share thoughtful words. Dr. Smith was extremely thorough and patient with us & our questions. I cannot thank them enough for the level of care ourselves & Kane received that night. Picture tax of our sweet boy. ❤️

My pet cat was quite ill. We were seen quickly and all the staff members were wonderful. They seemed to be working together well. We were seen quickly, my cat was assessed and treated quickly and appropriately. We were able to go home in a couple hours with a diagnosis and treatment that worked well. My cat was less than impressed with the temperature taking and suprapubic urine draw. My husband and I, human health care providers, were very pleased with the care. I let him sit on the deck with supervision the next day. We were surprised by the open concept treatment area. We saw so many sweet animals and we were praying for all of them. If we ever need ER vet care again, we are driving straight to VEG.

The whole team was amazing. They saved my frenchie Lola on the spot from respiratory failure. Lola was cared with excellent skills, love and lots of care. Her nurses Alex and Clencly were by her all the steps of her life threatening episodes, saving her twice from respiratory colapse. Her amazing Dr. Lopez was great walking me through all the intense life threatening episodes and ensuring she had her meds, tests and constant care around the clock. In the middle of an awful ER day, I felt in the best hands, and truly cared by all the staff and most importantly her immediate team. Best ER in the city! 💓🐶

Our almost 12 year old yorkie had a severe anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine. My husband is a pediatric ICU physician, my daughter is a neonatal RN, and I’m a retired PICU RN. We also co-own a private practice, pediatric urgent care not far from Veg ER. As health care professionals and small business owners, we could not have been more pleased with the way our little Leia and our family were treated. Every member of your practice was so kind and caring- informing and involving us in every step of her care. The snack and beverage station, private family rooms with a pull out bed, pillows, sheets and blankets, were next level care. Thank you for making a very scary and stressful situation as comfortable as possible for all of us. We hope to never need an emergency pet ER again, but if we do, we know exactly where to go.

After two days of hospitalization at his primary vet, my dog was transferred to VEG for weekend/overnight hospitalization. Him and I spent 42 hours in "Hotel VEG". While this was truly a terrifying and emotional situation, VEG made our experience comfortable, peaceful and even pleasant (under the circumstances). He had four total doctors during his long stay and they were all great. However, he was under Dr. Benjamin Rogers' care the majority of the time and Dr. Rogers was truly wonderful! He handled all of my emotions/concerns/questions in such a gentle and caring way, while still being honest about the severity of the situation. Each of the nurses he had were also very caring and attentive to both him and myself. Sadly, I do not recall the name of one nurse in particular (hopefully VEG can look him up in the records to ensure he is aware of this review), but he was so caring and loving towards my dog. My dog was unable to stand/walk upon arrival at VEG, and this particular nurse and I were outside at 2 AM when he was finally able to walk and the nurse was literally cheering his milestones, encouraging him to walk every single step and just about as excited as I was to see his progress. I felt like my dog and I were both cared about during our entire stay. While I hope that I never need VEG’s services again, I would not hesitate to return, if necessary. I truly believe that set up that allows you to stay with your pet the entire time was very healing for my dog and allowed him to focus on getting better, without the stress of wondering why he was alone in cage during such a scary time for him. I called several hours before the transfer so that they knew he was coming and was provided an electronic intake form so that they had all of his information beforehand. I called again a few minutes before my arrival and was met in the parking lot with a gurney to get him inside. A doctor immediately began examining him and taking his extensive history from me. We were quickly set up in a private room with a bed for him and I to share. We were consistently checked on throughout his treatment and I was always told what they were doing and why they were doing every single thing they did for him.

I am forever grateful to the entire team at VEG for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care they showed our beloved kitty, Bella. We first came to VEG because Bella wasn't doing well, and our veterinarian suspected there might be something wrong with her spleen. Dr. Gabriela Reyes was the attending veterinarian that day. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what she believed Bella might be facing and treated Bella with such genuine care. An ultrasound was performed, and we returned home hoping for the best while waiting for the results. Later that same night, Bella suddenly began gasping for air and could no longer move. We rushed her back to VEG immediately. By then, the ultrasound report had come back and confirmed our worst fear: Bella had a very aggressive cancerous tumor in her spleen, and surgery was no longer an option. As heartbreaking as it was, our family made the difficult decision to let Bella go peacefully so she would no longer suffer. Dr. Gabriela Reyes showed us extraordinary compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She gave us the time we needed, answered our questions with honesty and empathy, and helped make an impossible decision just a little more bearable. I will never forget her kindness. The entire VEG staff was equally amazing. Every person we encountered treated Bella—and our family—with such dignity, warmth, and respect. They made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be. While we wish the outcome had been different, I am deeply thankful that we found VEG. Thank you for caring for Bella with such love and for helping our family say goodbye with compassion. Bella will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget the kindness your entire team showed us during her final moments.

VEG saved my baby’s life!! I’ve been to VEG on two occasions. Each time the staff was friendly, skilled, and transparent. The most recent visit my cat was in a crisis state due to her organs being out of place. We watched as they literally revived her and stabilized her on oxygen to allow us to drive her to Access Palm Beach hospital that performed the surgery. They communicated everything with Access and their staff was waiting as we rushed her in. She made a full recovery and is back to her usual self thanks to them! Even if the outcome was not as great, my rating would not change. Medicine is often a game of chance but when it comes to the skills, they went above and beyond and we're so grateful! The other visit was for a simple ear infection for my dog that happened on a holiday weekend. I didn’t want her waiting for days in pain to see her primary vet so I took her to VEG and they treated it well and it was just as great of an experience, just with a little less drama ;)

This is by far the best emergency vet I’ve ever been to. The staff (especially Taylor and Kristen) were kind, caring, and took great care of my baby! She was hospitalized overnight and I got to stay with her in a private room which made the whole experience so much less stressful for her.

I wish this animal emergency was open before my other dog passed away. You are able to stay with your pet throughout much of the time. Everything is open and transparent and the staff is very empathetic towards all concerns. All questions answered. The prices are not on the low end but I do not believe i was overcharged, as this is a 24 hour emergency hospital. What a great peace of mind to know there is this kind of care day or night for our animals. Everything is comfortable and yiu can stay with your pet the whole time! Tbe restroom is very clean! Hopefully it stays like that! They have snacks and beverages for the humans. We never want to have to have these visits but just know they are there for our animal babies! Five stars all the way!!

Lots of emotions this weekend, we basically spent Friday to Sunday onsite. Having said that, our experience was once again phenomenal. We just can’t say enough nice things about the staff and the quality of care at VEG. It’s not our first rodeo there. They saved our Iggy for now. She means the world to us, and it seems she grew on a few on the team there.

My dog ingested something at home and became extremely ill. Our usual veterinarian was unable to see her promptly and advised us to seek emergency care. The staff at the facility were exceptionally kind, friendly, and supportive throughout the process. I was impressed with the quality of care provided, which I believe exceeded expectations often associated with human emergency rooms. They were transparent and upfront about the costs, which were surprisingly affordable. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of emergency veterinary services.

Everyone was extremely welcoming and empathetic. The professional and calming environment was very comforting in an otherwise stressful and upsetting situation. —My cat had eaten the foil strip from a self seal envelope and my vet recommended that we go to an ER due to the seriousness. When I got there, the building’s exterior was new and clean. I was immediately greeted by a kind staff member and doctor and invited to a private room. They quickly but thoroughly ascertained the situation and medical history and developed a plan. Unfortunately the first step didn’t produce the optimal results but subsequent treatment options were offered all the while with clear explanations and information. They were very patient while I considered the choices and costs and we ultimately chose the next least invasive approach which was successful. They offered me the choice to be involved and observing the treatment the whole time, which made me more confident of their abilities. I saw several patients coming and going, all of whom were treated with kindness and a personal touch. Should I ever need emergency care again, I will definitely return to the Pikesville VEG ER! Thank you so much Dr. Brough, assistants Jessie and Caitlin, and the procedure team Fabian, Katelyn and Megan!!

Our dog needed care for an infected, newly discovered wound late Saturday night. We were greeted by kind staff who directed us to an open bay with a comfortable place for me to sit and a dog bed for my pet. I wasn’t used to the open vet setting where we could hear most conversations with owners there and see most interactions. But it was comforting to know other worried pets & parents were treated so well. I was informed of everything about my dog’s condition and given time to ask questions. An estimate was texted to me. I didn’t have to leave my dog when he was taken to a procedure table in center of the facility and in view of all. He was given adequate sedation during the procedure and sent home with pain meds snd antibiotics. I regret I can’t recall names of the 2 kind, knowledgeable vets working with us. But the awesome staff were Gabbie and Nancy. I have a healing broken bone and Nancy even got my dog in the car for me. Hopefully we never need another emergency vet visit- but if we do, we will definitely come to VET.

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!

My blue heeler received amazing care here. No one wants to go to the emergency vet, but this experience was as painless as it could possibly be. The dr saw our dog within minutes of walking in and communicated a care plan quickly. They provided a quiet room for us because our dog is anxious. The nurses were knowledgeable, efficient, and comforting. My dog was admitted for the night, and they provided EVERYTHING so I could stay with her: bed, phone charger, toothbrush, coffee, snacks… I would never have expected that from an emergency vet. Not only that, but my dog received a very high quality of care, and she is now home and well. I could not be more grateful.
