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.

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.

VEG did an amazing job saving our boy. He was in boarding while we were out of state and his stomach flipped causing bloating. Our boarding facility got him right over to VEG. They took an x-ray and confirmed. The doctor called me and told me everything she had to do to operate and fix his stomach. They sent us a quote and we paid it online. They performed emergency surgery and took care of him over night until we got back to Michigan. They kept us informed the whole time and sent text messages with updates. When the cost was lower than the quoted amount they also refunded us $700. I couldn’t be more thankful they have a facility close to our boarding facility. A flipped stomach if not caught in time can be fatal to a dog and we are so grateful our fur baby Otis is doing well. Thank you VEG doctors and nurses!

Lexi showing the doctors the "all clear" and back to enjoying her favorite pastime. We've given her raw bones while supervising her for over 10 years. Well, she managed to get one stuck in the roof of her mouth that we could not dislodge. The staff at VEG was phenomenal. They started treating her the minute we got into the door. Being able to see them treat her gave us a level of comfort. Highly recommend. PS...Lexi is happy to report she will only get the meat off the bone now.

I can’t say enough good things about the care Charlotte received at VEG. We brought our 13-year-old Boxer in for a urinary issue, and from the moment we arrived, we felt that she was in caring and compassionate hands. Dr. Scott Yorke was absolutely wonderful with her. With an older dog who has been through a lot, it was incredibly reassuring to have a veterinarian who was so kind, gentle, patient, and thorough. He took the time to carefully examine Charlotte, explain what was happening, and make sure she was comfortable throughout the process. The entire experience was handled with professionalism, compassion, and genuine care for Charlotte. When you have an older dog who means the world to you, that kindness makes such a difference. Thank you to Dr. Yorke and the entire VEG team for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We are truly grateful.

Everyone here was incredibly kind and compassionate. I brought in a tiny wild baby bunny that my cat had caught after being turned away by several other places. Even though it was wildlife and not an animal they would normally treat, the entire team was still willing to take a look, care for the bunny, and do whatever they could to help, without charging me anything. What touched me most was how much compassion everyone showed toward such a tiny life. The staff also helped reach out to wildlife rehabilitators to see if anyone could take the bunny. Unfortunately, because the bunny was so young and fragile, there wasn’t a rehab with the appropriate resources available to accept it. Even though there was only so much they could do, everyone genuinely tried. I’m especially thankful to Phoebe, but I truly appreciate every single person who helped us that day. After being turned away by so many other places, seeing an entire team willing to spend their time and effort helping a tiny wild animal meant so much to me. You can tell that the people here genuinely care about animals, no matter how small they are or whether they are someone’s pet. This experience left such a wonderful impression on me. If either of my cats ever needs emergency care, this will absolutely be one of the first places I consider. Thank you to everyone who helped and showed so much kindness to this little bunny. ❤️

Every doctor and nurse over the 2 days we were there cares for both my dog and me. They let you stay the entire time. The sofa beds are comfy. They really care for your pet and you.

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.

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.

The friendliest vet staff I can imagine!!! So kind, compassionate, and they truly love what they do!! I love the open concept so I'm never left wondering what is going on. I'm so grateful for the treatment we've received so far, and they're making this the absolutely best as we navigate this chocolate mishap with my little guy. From the front desk, nurse, assistant, and doctor, 5/5 stars!

Highly recommend. We were able to talk to the vet on the phone before making the drive for our dog. Once we arrived, they were so kind and compassionate. Very informed and they walk you through the process and charges before doing anything. I also like that we were able to be with our dog while they ran the tests. They let us bring our other dog in as well and gave her lots of love and treats!

A phenomenal place for my dog’s emergency. (Actually puppy emergency). It was clean, well equipped, and very responsive to both my needs and my pup’s. I highly recommend the whole care team - Dr. Erdesz, Nikki, Lizzie and Paige. They are exceptional professionals whose caring hearts, gentle handling, and love made all the difference. Pup is fine - back to normal life.

I was impressed with the level of care for how busy they were. They were attentive to both my pet and my own needs. They were professional and friendly. And they have answered any questions I have had after taking my pet home! Highly recommend

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.

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.

I brought my puppy in last month for vomiting blood and diarrhea. After imaging it showed he ate a diaper and needed to have surgery. I was at a lost I could afford to pay for my little puppers surgery and I tried everything to come up with the money and it wasn’t enough. The hospital helped me with the cost to save my pups life. After surgery I called them several times with in those first few days and each time they were patient with me and empathized with me. They treated my baby as their own. I am go grateful for them.

The most compassionate and professional Emergency Vet I have ever encountered. Our Corgi Biscuit hurt his paw playing outside, and Dr. Smallcomb and her entire staff showed such care to get him taken care of. Even when putting him for sedation, they put him in a lovely room with the blinds drawn and gentle music playing to make him comfortable. Just absolutely extraordinary.. thank you so much to all of you!

Brought savior in for a gunshot wound hands down the best care and services staff is very friendly and knowledgeable provided us with information on the dog care from arrival up to discharge they offer various payment options. They’re genuine here for our pets. They don’t refuse treatment or care I highly recommend and trust our fur babies in their hands. Thankyou for a wonderful experience and for helping through this hard time.

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.

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!
