Very accommodating and caring. Staff didn’t hesitate to care for our pet or us. As soon as we walked in they started to look after our puppy. Well staffed with plenty of people who care. They offer multiple payment plan options and the staff really is there for YOU. Keeping in mind its an animal hospital pricing was fair and honest. Only good things to say about every person we encountered . Even at midnight they don’t miss a beat.

We had to bring our sweet Balinese cat Kai in for consistent vomiting at midnight. We have used 2 other emergency vets in years past here in oklahoma. I can say hands down this was the best emergency vet we have ever used. They were quick, efficient, had wonderful customer service, and genuinely cared for Kai. From the vet to the tech to the triage person-all of them were wonderful! Thankfully he was discharged by 330am after X-rays!

Do NOT hesitate to take your pet here. If anyone knows, it would be myself since i practically lived there for 3+ days. There is not one thing that the team at VEG Nanuet could have done better. They collectively saved my dogs life. I was there for days with my dog, and had the opportunity to meet what I believe to be most of the staff, and every single doctor, vet tech (nurse), receptionist, vet assistant etc etc was absolutely AMAZING at what they do. My elderly dog had to undergo major surgery with aspiration pneumonia, and as most know who have had similar experiences with elderly humans and animals, that's a death sentence in many cases. But my sweet girl is home, happy, playing with her ball, because this amazing team made it happen. They watched me sob for days, and every single person had wonderful bedside manor, even making me laugh at my worst. My tears of heart break turned into tears of joy knowing my Lady girl was coming home with me. The transparency here with being able to watch everything, including the surgery, is unmatched. I thought it was the end for my pup, but Dr Raino kept me going, and Dr Catto performed the surgery that saved her ultimately. I cannot thank them enough. I truly have a place in my heart for these people now after what they've done for my girl and my family. Because of my experience here im certain my future career path is in animal medicine, watching their empathy, kindness, and real true knowledge of animals is inspiring. I haven't slept in days so i may be rambling, but it's the rambling of a happy dog mama in the end. PSA as well, ban peaches. For good. Thank you all again!

WOWWW! Just wow! The service and compassion provided by this place, especially the nurse manager Alecia & Dr Doll, are Incredible. This place will go above and beyond to help you every step of the way. They truly care and it shows! My husband was out of town and I was unable to lift our dog Girl into the truck on my own. She had a severe infection in her leg and needed help asap! The staff offered to come to my home and help load her into my truck! When they arrived to our home plans changed and I was unable to take her to the vet. The staff was so understanding and offered to come inside to assess her condition. After they left they stayed in contact with me checking in on Girls state through the night and next morning. The next day I was able to get her to their office and we were met with open arms and love. We are forever grateful for this place in our time of need! We highly recommend them!

My husky was severely lethargic and had been throwing up for over 24 hours. He was in so much pain. After 2 long nights of laying in the floor with him and wondering if we could make it to our primary care vet, I decided it was time to get him some help. I called several places and ended up taking him here by the direct recommendation of the doctor, who was willing to talk to me on the phone! I am SO glad I did. I can’t say enough about the medical team here. Everyone was very thorough and made my dog and I comfortable from the very beginning. Unlike some ER vet places, they don’t try to sell you things, or treat you like a number. Most importantly, they were eager to listen to ALL of the details I had for them regarding my baby, and they genuinely cared. I am so grateful to have found this place, it was worth driving the extra 20 minutes for me!

The staff and care at VEG ER is the best I have experienced. No one wants to be in the situation to go to an emergency vet, but we were with our 12 year old Tortie who wasn’t eating, vomiting, and lethargic. They were quick to triage her, and do the needed tests. Their open plan allows you to stay with your pet, touch them, hold them and comfort them through most tests. Sadly, after the findings, we had to make the decision for euthanasia. We were not rushed during the process and allowed as much time with her as we needed. Every member of the staff who we interacted with was sincere, empathetic, caring, and loving to us and our cat. Thank you for your support to us and our baby during a difficult evening.

We had as good as possible experience with all of the staff at VEG ER H St over our cat’s several day stay with them. They were attentive and caring toward us and our cat even when the clinic was busy and they allowed us to visit at any time. They provided soft bedding in his space and also allowed us to bring clothes and blankets from home to keep him more comfortable. They were able to stabilize him and get him back home to us with instructions for his care and a certificate for his bravery. Very sweet staff!! 🖤

I had my first visit to Veg Care! From the moment I walked in WOW!!!! This place was amazing. Incredibly beautiful place, wonderful staff, efficient, organized, friendly and beyond animal friendly!!! My vet who has been in practice and very well known at Foxmoor Hospital recommends VegCare and i only go where he recommends! Well I see why he does. I wanted to make sure I wrote a review for them because I went there worried with my 2 kittens. They treated them with so much care and love . Dr. Shim was an absolute pleasure. She didn’t want to leave the room ! She took the time with us . Gave us reassurance, explained the breed of our cat to us and what to expect. The staff went above and beyond . They even gave both of our kittens complimentary pedicures and cuddles 🥰 I will tell EVERYONE about VEGCARE!!! Thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This place ROCKS!!! I brought my cat 5050 in for a foxtail in her eye and they did the deed. Reasonable fees. I’ve been doing TNR ferals for 30-ish years. I have to say this place is the nicest I’ve ever been to. And a week later her follow up showed she is 100% good to good. Rocket crew at VEG. I’m so glad I’m a VEGetarian~ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion we received at VEG ER for Pets during one of the most difficult moments with my dog, Poet. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was calm, kind, and incredibly supportive. They acted quickly to stabilize him and kept me informed every step of the way in a way that was clear and easy to understand, even while I was overwhelmed and emotional. I especially want to recognize Jasmine, who went above and beyond. I was extremely distraught after learning Poet had been diagnosed with Addison’s disease and could not stop crying. She took the time to comfort me, explain everything thoroughly, and help me regain a sense of calm. Her compassion felt genuine and grounding during a very frightening experience. Every single person we interacted with showed patience, empathy, and professionalism. They didn’t just treat my dog—they supported me as an owner going through something heartbreaking. They truly made me feel cared for like family. I’m deeply grateful for the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an emergency with their pet.

Really appreciate this place. A trip to the emergency vet is never fun or cheap, but this ER does what they can to make your pet and you more comfortable. I appreciated the open concept, seeing rounds and understanding the triaging process, and getting to be with my cat even during procedures. I'm also grateful for the overnight room where I was able to sleep with my cat on my lap for a few hours while we were waiting. Staff also provided snacks, drinks, and phone chargers. Every employee, from front desk to assistants to LVTs to doctors, is good at their job, and I hope they're well-compensated. Thanks for helping Lexi feel better.

VEG was beyond amazing. We arrived scared, worried and anxious and after a few hours we left relieved and happy. The staff was amazing, Dr. Savino came in immediately to assess my cat Socks. Cassidy, Jelani and Christine were also so helpful and friendly. The best part is…if you are struggling financially, they will not hesitate to still help your fur baby and work something out with you. You never want to take your pet to the emergency vet, but if you do please take them here. You will not regret it! Honestly, I feel like my words don’t do this place justice for how truly wonderful they actually are. P.S. - they have snacks, coffee and freshly baked cookies!

Blown away by the service at this emergency vet. I have a very— vet— reactive pitbull mix and the staff was wonderful and accommodating. The doctor was knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. I got to stay with my dog even while she was heavily sedated and they were placing stitches. I will recommend this place to all of my family and friends needing emergency vet care.

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.*

As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted and made to feel comfortable. My little Morkie was vomiting blood most likely from something she shouldn’t have eaten but they immediately checked her vitals and made sure she was ok. They then ran tests and X-rays to make sure all was good. They were very kind and I like that they let you be with your pet the whole time, not like other facilities that make you wait In a room while they take your pet. It’s also open concept there so you can see everything going on, especially how caring and gentle they are with our pets. The waiting room is nice with couches and pet blankets to make them comfortable and there are even snacks and coffee, water for us pet owners. Top notch facility!

VEG treated my sick dog with so much compassion and love. Dr. Sparks, Dr. McReynolds, Katelyn, Elexis, Marykate and Candice all were amazing, helpful and kind. We were dealing with a lot of uncertainty and trying to soak in a lot of information. The team was so patient and helped guide me through a difficult weekend. My dog is so anxious in vet offices but they took such good care of her. I followed their treatment plan and she was better within a week’s time! Hoping she never gets sick again, but if she does, I will go to VEG immediately.

I don't think I could really put into words how much I truly appreciate VEG. I've been to the VEG location in Leesburg 3 times and each time I've been blown away each time. The first experience was a sad one but not because of VEG, our 16 year old cat was having seizures and Dr Reiss and her team were there in a heartbeat. They did absolutely everything they could to save her but unfortunately she didn't make it but their compassion and support through it all was so comforting. My second visit, our sweet 9 week old puppy, Tucker, got puppy strangles - Urgent care couldn't figure out what was wrong with him but within a few minutes of stepping into VEG I felt supported when Dr Anderson and her team made sure that he was triaged immediately and tests were run. She knew immediately what she was looking at and that made me breathe a sigh of relief especially that we caught it in time and it was curable. I felt so comfortable leaving him overnight, I got a call before bed and first thing in the morning, I was able to bring my boy home early the next day and the treatments have made him a brand new dog! He's very happy and healthy! My last visit was a few days ago and it was the most heartwarming and supportive experience of all. My sweet baby cat, Ryder, had to come in due to a fever that started at 104 and then spiked to 106, with no known origin of where it was coming from which terrified me to no end. The support I felt from the staff - Vincient, Sonya, Madison, Lily, Kaitlyn, Kelly, and Aaron just to name a few made me feel like I was with family. I was able to stay the night and they went out of their way to set up a bed for me in the room I was staying in so that I could stay with my boy. They made sure I had snacks and drinks so I was taking care of myself too. Dr O'Brien, Dr Mollano, and Dr Reiss - Thank you for saving him, for working to figure out the best approach, not making me feel crazy for any of my questions or suggestions, just all around making me feel like we were a team and he wasn't just another cat. I feel like thank you isn't enough but I really couldn't fully express how grateful I am for you. There is no one else I'd trust my animals with, VEG is an extremely special place with an extraordinary staff and the best doctors. Thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart.

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.

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! 🤍

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 wonderful things about VEG. They truly hold a special place in my heart. In March 2024, the incredible team at VEG helped save my golden retriever, Ruger, and I will never forget the compassion, expertise, and care they showed during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. More recently, the St. Petersburg location was equally amazing when Ruger needed treatment for a severe ear infection. A special thank you to Kevin, who was outstanding from the moment we checked in and continued to provide exceptional care throughout our visit. Every member of the staff made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. As pet parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. VEG consistently goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. If you ever find yourself facing a pet emergency, there is nowhere else I would recommend. VEG is simply the best!

Dr. Hammett took the time to communicate with us on the phone when we called with our emergency issue. The entire staff from the intake tech, nurses and Dr. Hammett were extremely professional, had great bedside manners and were very sweet with our pup. We continually received updates on our pups condition. We were released at just under 2 hours after the proper treatment. Even though VEG is a bit farther than other ER pet clinics near us , we would not hesitate to make this our go to ER clinic.

I cannot thank the team at VEG Schaumburg enough for the incredible care they gave my dog Remy. From the moment we arrived everyone was so kind and welcoming. They treated both my dog and I with genuine care. After Remy’s surgery they allowed me to stay overnight with her so I could be by her side. They are open 24 hours, which is very convenient. The room set up for family’s including a sofa bed is very considerate. My Son was able to visit w us as well. I wish I remembered all of the team members names who constantly checked on us and answered all of our questions and made sure Remy was comfortable and safe. Dr. Chernock is genuinely compassionate. He had a lot of patience for me at such a stressful time. Dr. Carney performed surgery, she is a Rock 💫 Star. Dr. Chernock and Dr. Carney complement each other very well. Dr. Carson the anesthesiologist is hands down the best, effortlessly winsome. Shout out to Alexis, Shannon, Christel, and the rest of the amazing staff. I am beyond grateful. They went above and beyond. Thank you.

I wish I remembered the names of everyone I saw the evening of 7/12, but I was truly so impressed with the entire staff. Being able to speak to a vet on the phone was a game changer, and I was seen immediately when I walked in with my dogs. The doctor and all of the techs were incredibly kind, sweet with my dogs, and very quick. I’ve never been in and out of an emergency vet so quickly! Although I don’t want to have to come back, I definitely would return to this location if my dogs ever need it again.

No one ever wants to have to visit the ER with their pet, but we cannot say enough good things about VEG. This was our first (and hopefully only) visit, but they were simply amazing. Our little guy ended up with a treble fishing hook embedded in his lips/mouth/nose. They took us right back when we arrived, pain meds were onboard in less than 15 min and he was sedated about 10 minutes after that. They carefully removed the hook and the barbs, all without one drop of blood. We were in and out of there in about an hour. While we are hoping to never have to go back, we certainly wouldn't hesitate, given the care and attention we received from all the staff.

This morning I brought my 2 year old cat in who vomited reddish watery liquid. I lost a cat suddenly when he was 2 years old in 2021 so this was a tough trip to make. The staff was amazing!! So kind and made me laugh a few times. Dr. Beckman was prompt, thorough and validated all my concerns. Even through my cat getting fluids and medication, not happy and let the techs know it too! 🤣 They all remained so calm and sweet to my little one. I hope I don't need to go back ever again but they will certainly be the place I do go if needed in the future. Thank you all SO SO much!!! Keep up the incredible work. Rue sends her love 🤣🐈‍⬛❤️

We had an amazing experience at VEG ER Pets. The staff were all amazing and appeared to be very well-organized. And knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make not only my pet but us feel very welcomed and cared for. They were very detailed and informative and involved us in the whole process Which made us feel more at ease with our concerns. They truly care about all the animals that come in, and they give all the animals their individual attention needed. They're warm and friendly and very attentive. I would definitely recommend VEG ER to my friends and family.

VEG took phenomenal care of our dog. He was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the week at VEG, and within days he had to leave us. The team at VEG made him comfortable every step of the way and supported us throughout the process. I cannot say enough about how empathetic, kind, and caring this team truly is. I highly recommend them. They explained everything to us, our options, and what quality of life and his timeline looked like at diagnosis. At his passing, they assured us we were making the best decision for him. They cared for him and our family throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to VEG.

I came in with my pet rat for a possible respiratory infection, and they were so efficient and put me at ease very quickly! They took us right back because of the symptoms I described and immediately checked all her vitals and got us settled into a private room where my rat was free to roam around until being seen. Dr. Cameron and all staff were so sweet. For an emergency visit and medicine, the pricing was very affordable. And they got my consent for all treatments performed after I reviewed pricing and agreed to it. Chili and want to thank you all for the amazing care 💕

I am incredibly grateful to the team at Emergency Vet Group for the compassion, professionalism, and urgency they showed when my service dog, Jeremy, was brought to their clinic after a tragic accident. On May 7, 2026, Jeremy was struck by a vehicle. My boyfriend and I rushed him to the clinic, hoping they could save him. As soon as we arrived, approximately seven or eight veterinary staff members immediately rushed to Jeremy's aid. Their quick response and dedication were evident from the moment we walked through the door. Despite their best efforts, Jeremy's injuries were too severe, and he sadly passed away. I know the veterinary team did everything they could to save my baby, and I will always be thankful for the care they provided during his final moments. Jeremy was more than a pet—he was my service animal, my companion, and a huge part of my life. Losing him has been devastating. Throughout the entire experience, the staff treated him with dignity and respect and showed me genuine compassion during one of the hardest days of my life. I cannot thank the doctors, technicians, and staff enough for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. While the outcome was not what I had hoped for, I take comfort in knowing that Jeremy was surrounded by people who cared and who fought to help him. Thank you, Emergency Vet Group, for everything you did for Jeremy and for the compassion you showed me when I needed it most. I will always be grateful. ❤️🐾

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!

Our little Yorkie got into some poison on a road trip. We first brought him to a very good small animal ER in TX, then drove through the night for further care close to home in Abq. I had not heard of VEG ER but found them in an online search. They had only been open for a few weeks, but already had many positive reviews. We pulled up at shift change on a Sat morning and even with the distractions of changing shifts and other animals coming in, we were treated efficiently and so compassionately. We LOVE the concept of staying with your pet through the whole procedure. Our guy needed blood drawn and at the other office he was taken away for the draw and it very difficult. Because we were able to help hold him and keep him calm at VEG ER, they were able to easily draw the blood that was needed and he was not stressed out. We had to come back for a few more blood draws and each time he walked happily and confidently in to the office. He doesn't even do that at his own vet (whom he loves!). Our experience with VEG ER at a very stressful time for us could not have been any better. We're so grateful that Albuquerque now has this option 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

All the ladies were fantastic, Kat, Arissa, Stephane, Kim, Sleepy, Bashful and Dr. Jacobson…I brought my little Yorkie who was pretty sick and they were gentle to my 4lb little guy and even handled me well who was a bit emotional. I appreciate how they went over his panel with me and how kid gloves they were with my little guy. I’m not going to lie, I hope I never have to go back except on Christmas to drop off cheesecake to the fine crew. In all seriousness Thank You all 🙏
