We can’t thank the team at VEG Dublin enough for everything they did for our dog, Theo. Theo was hospitalized for several days after ingesting xylitol, and from the moment we walked through the doors, the entire team treated him like he was their own. Every doctor, technician, and nurse took the time to explain what was happening, answer our endless questions, and keep us updated throughout every step of his recovery. There were moments when things felt incredibly uncertain, but they never stopped fighting for him. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication gave us so much comfort during one of the hardest experiences we’ve ever been through. They celebrated every small win with us, were honest when things were difficult, and made sure Theo received exceptional care around the clock. We never doubted that he was in the best hands. On Friday, we were able to bring Theo home, and we know that’s because of the incredible team at VEG Dublin. We are forever grateful for the care, kindness, and expertise they showed our family. Thank you for giving us our boy back! 🤍

On the 25th on July I came home in the evening to find my baby girl Grisha having a seizure on the bed. VEG ER was one of the only places opened so we rushed her there. They triaged her very quickly and took very good care of my baby. Unfortunately my Grisha could not be saved and we had to make the difficult decision to put her down. The compassion and empathy shown by everyone there was appreciated during this hard time. Before a room was available for us to say our goodbyes they put up partitions to give us a semblance of privacy. When a room opened They gave me plenty of time to say goodbye in a private room. I got to hold her through the whole thing. After she passed we were allowed as much time as we wanted to sit with her. Last week I received her paw print and some hair in the mail along with a personalized card with notes from the staff. While I wish I never had to take her there I appreciate the compassion and care they showed my baby girl and us.

We found ourselves at VEG ER on a Saturday morning with our kitty, Dewey (not what we had planned, but alas). We were greeted by Aaron, who went above and beyond in terms of kindness, customer service, and making sure we were all comfortable. Dr. Landry was the veterinarian on duty, and I really appreciated her bedside manner, the time she took to talk with us and explain what she thought was going on with Dewey, and just her general personality and warmth. The wait was long as there were quite a few others there, but I wouldn’t have traded it for a shorter wait given how great the team was. I also want to give Vincent and Katelyn a shoutout. They were our vet assistants for the day, and they were both wonderful and kind even though Dewey wasn’t 😭

We brought our cat Felix in for a bad FLUTD flare. The staff tended to him immediately to check for a blockage and gave excellent care throughout. I really appreciated being able to stay with Felix the whole time, including during the ultrasound. One of the staff even stayed with Felix in the exam room while I took a bathroom break (that was extremely sweet, thank you). The veterinarian talked to me for over 10 minutes to make sure I understood the treatment plan and the vet tech did the same. I will definitely keep VEG in mind for the future.

Our puppy was having stomach issues (diarrhea & throwing up). Came here and was seen immediately. Everything was clean and great communication between the main vet and this team. Dr. Stevie and our nurse were amazing. Answered all our questions super quickly and comprehensively. She even gave us some preventative tips for long-term care for our pup at home. The nurse told us the facility is open concept, so you’re able to pretty much be next to your pet for almost every procedure, which is so important for keeping them calm in a usually stressful situation. Also, the cost wasn’t too much more compared with going to the normal vet, which was such a pleasant surprise. I highly suggest this capable team for anyone who needs speedy, accurate, and thoughtful care!

This experience exceeded anything we could have expected from an ER facility. They wasted no time helping our girl and even made us feel comfortable during the process. I love that we were able to stay with her and know what was going on. What a relief!! We are incredibly grateful for the care our dog received, and the comfort they provided us as well. They saved her life, the staff are heroes in our eyes!!

My guy overheated one hot evening after a long walk. I wasn't sure what it exactly was at the time which worried me. It was about 9pm so I decided to take him to VEG ER for Pets. They were extremely quick getting him in (even when they had a handful of animals already there being attended to). They checked him out and then put him in an oxygen tank which you see in the photo. The loud noise he was making started to slow down and eventually stopped. They weren't 100% sure if it was a trachea collapse or overheating. They wanted to do some xrays to find out, but after the ER fee, oxygen fee, etc it was a bit pricey so I decided not to do the xray because he seemed fine by then. They recommended some medication in case it was the trachea so I did get that (Which I haven't used at all). Luckily it was just overheating so I saved $600 without the x rays and my bill with meds was about $450. $200 for ER fee, $200 for the oxygen tank, and about $30 for the medication (plus tax). So it was a bit pricey and I think they probably knew it was just over heating since he was fine shortly after sitting there for a few minutes but I understand they wanted to be sure and it is technically an ER. So overall I was happy with the visit. Plus the employees are all extremely nice, very helpful, and it's a great environment (all things considered).

Very grateful to have found and brought my guinea pig to VEG Costa Mesa. The Drs. and team were warm, attentive, and professional. Immediately after coming in, I had seen how taken care of and comforted my guinea pig was before her passing, I can't think of a better place I could've taken her. Thank you to all the veterinarians here for being so caring and I appreciate all of your efforts from your team. They didn’t have to, but they provided a room to be able to spend those last moments with her and even I was given a blanket with hearts on it where she was carefully wrapped in, which I found were tender details. This time has not been easy, though all of the support from the ER team has meant a lot and been invaluable. May God bless VEG Costa Mesa.♥️ I keep on remembering Lily.♥️

Paddington says to thank everyone who pet him and gave him all the attention he demanded. The staff are the reason why Paddington does not associate VEG on Rampart as a negative experience. Thank you to everyone’s help and all the love given to him on our *latest* visit 😭. Thankfully nothing serious this time. Realizing right now that I don’t recall my nurses/techs names’, I am so sorry. I think I was just happy that Paddy was happy and completely forgot to get names. The two ladies kept us updated and offered help throughout our entire stay. They were also so chill with our strange encounter; someone I knew walked in with their own pet concerns. They helped ease those parents immediately. Afterwards our areas merged (while still separate) and the nurse/tech were so good about keeping us updated but keeping patient info confidential. I was able to witness them, and DVM Jones, treat the pet and parents with compassion, offering comfort and understanding throughout, offering options for payments without judgement to the parent’s ability to pay. Unfortunately, the fur babe’s diagnosis was too severe and treatment and recovery would be difficult, so the difficult decision was made for comfort. I hate it came to the conclusion it came to. I could tell the staff were affected, and yet they did the switch up everyone in the medical does where they put their emotions aside and made sure that each fur babe and parent they encountered got the level of care they deserved. The staff even helped me when we were discharged and had my dog and took the other family’s *literal* baby so they could say their goodbyes. We were no longer a patient but they still checked on us and gave Paddington tons of love. The staff at VEG on Rampart are something special, because while it was all tough for the other family, in the end they managed to have the other parent’s laughing. *Thankful for anyone who remembered Paddy from previous visits. You fill his bucket and boost his ego, and this point his name should be Diva Paddington.*

At 3 am on a Sunday our cat had a medical emergency. We called Veg and they took us right in. Unfortunately, we had to put our sweet girl down and there was nothing anyone could do. Given the circumstances the staff at Veg were so kind, compassionate and completely devoted to helping. Thank you to the staff and doctors at Veg. Your service was truly amazing during this difficult time.

We brought our puppy Pearl in as an emergency after she suffered a leg injury, and the entire team at VEG ER for Pets in Winter Park was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff was loving, attentive, and made sure she was comfortable the whole time she was there. They clearly care deeply about the animals they treat, not just the medical side of things but her comfort and emotional state too. We were understandably distressed bringing her in, and the staff made a scary situation so much easier to get through. We are incredibly thankful for everyone there who took care of our little girl. Highly recommend this team to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet.

Dr. Ellebracht and her team of rockstars nursed my pup back to health! They were so loving and kind. Very organized and were happy to answer my million questions I had as a concerned pet parent. Just incredible. Thank you so much VEG team.

I want to sincerely thank the entire team for the wonderful care they provided to my dog, Kira. From the moment we arrived, everyone was kind, professional, compassionate, and attentive. The staff took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly examine Kira, and explain everything clearly. They made both of us feel comfortable during a stressful time, and I truly appreciated their patience and caring attitude. It is clear that this team genuinely loves animals and is dedicated to providing excellent care. Thank you for treating Kira with such kindness and helping her feel better. I am very grateful for the support and exceptional service we received. Highly recommended! ❤️❤️

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

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG ER for Pets. From the moment we rushed our cat, Ruckus, through their doors, every single person treated her—and us—with compassion, kindness, and genuine care. Their open-concept hospital meant we never had to leave her side, which brought us so much comfort during one of the scariest moments of our lives. The doctors and staff were incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. They stabilized Ruckus and gave us hope when we needed it most. But what truly sets VEG apart is what happened after we left. They continued checking on Ruckus days and even weeks later, simply because they cared. They didn't have to, but they did—and that speaks volumes about the hearts of the people who work there. Knowing they're open 24/7 gives us peace of mind that if another emergency ever happens, we'll never hesitate to bring our pets to VEG. They are more than an emergency hospital—they're a team of compassionate people who truly love animals and the families who love them. Thank you for everything you did for Ruckus. We'll never forget your kindness. ❤️🐾

I was here last night with my pup, Yoshi from midnight til about 4am. They were able to check vitals, do blood work and provide x-rays on site. The entire staff was extremely empathetic and professional. It was impressive to see them handling the animals attentively and how you as the pet parent get to be involved in every step of the process to offer your pet love and support during treatment. The facility is very clean. Special shoutout to Iris and Mario who were especially kind and compassionate to my special boy when he was in pain.

We can't say enough good things about VEG ER in Clearwater. Our 10 year old Yellow Lab had a complete intestinal blockage, and we spent 14 hours there. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was incredible. We were there through three different shifts, and every single person from the lead veterinarian to the nurses, technicians, and front desk staff was compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring. One thing that was very important to us is they allowed us to stay with our dog the entire time. Once a room was available, they prepared a private room with a small couch so we could be as comfortable as possible while staying by his side. That level of compassion made such a difficult situation a little easier to get through. Even after we went home, I called the next two days because I still had questions about our dog's condition. The veterinarians on duty took the time to answer every question without rushing me, and I truly appreciated that. VEG made the best of a very scary and emotional experience. If your pet ever has an emergency, I highly recommend them. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for both pets and their families was exceptional.

This isn’t our first visit to VEG, and I’m sure it won’t be our last—pet emergencies have a way of striking when you least expect them. It’s an enormous comfort knowing their team of wonderful, strong (mostly) women 💪 are there whenever we need them. I’m especially grateful they allowed me to stay by my pet’s side throughout treatment and included me in her care. No one knows a pet better than their owner, and that partnership made all the difference in her comfort and recovery. The staff answered every question with patience and kindness throughout our stay. Carla, our nurse, was gentle and attentive with our girl in a way that meant more than words can express. Dr. Croel was thorough, direct, and honest with us every step of the way. The facility itself is spotless, and the staff clearly prioritize patient care in everything they do. As much as we hope to never need an emergency vet, we’re deeply grateful VEG is there when we do. Maya and her family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mel, Elly, and Marianne were world-class. Such an incredible, caring, and personable team. This is hands down the best vet service I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was completely locked in and genuinely cared about my cat. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. They were super responsive, compassionate, and always one step ahead. I truly appreciate their care and heart. By the end, they felt like they were my cousins lol. If every vet operated like this, the world would be a better place.

We were greeted warmly and quickly upon arriving. Dr Isabel took the time to understand the issues before starting treatment. She and Emma then carefully tested her. They explained treatment course patiently and clearly. Everyone always welcoming and friendly. We appreciate the care our dog received.
