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!

When Jersey was hospitalized at VEG for three days, the team transformed one of the most stressful experiences into something I will always be grateful for. Jersey is a very anxious senior dog. Like many pet parents, I was terrified when she needed emergency care. My previous experience at another local animal hospital left me feeling helpless and disconnected because I wasn't allowed to stay with my pet. VEG was the complete opposite. There are no restrictive visiting hours. You can come and go as needed. Whenever I visited Jersey, the staff welcomed me with kindness and compassion. Every time I visited, a nurse would pull up a chair beside Jersey's crate and encourage me to spend time with her while she received her IV fluids. Being able to hold her in my lap during a stressful experience was a gift. Throughout her stay, every doctor, nurse, and team member treated both Jersey and me with patience, empathy, and respect. They took the time to answer questions, explain her treatment, and make sure I felt informed and supported. The true testament to how special VEG is can be found in Jersey herself. Normally, she pulls and rushes past veterinary offices as quickly as possible. Yet after her potty breaks during her hospitalization, she would willingly walk back into VEG. For an anxious dog like Jersey, that spoke volumes. My deepest thanks to Dr. Weggeland, Dr. Hauser, Dr. Friedman, Dr. Green, and Dr. Johnson, as well as Christina, Nicole, Elise (?), and the many other nurses and staff members whose names I unfortunately can't recall. Every one of you played a role in helping Jersey and supporting me through a difficult time. VEG took a stressful and traumatic situation for both an anxious pet and a worried pet parent and made it feel safe, compassionate, and even special. I will never forget the care we received.

To the AMAZING staff that helped me, my husband, and our baby boy on Christmas morning, THANK YOU for doing everything you could, under stressful circumstances, on Christmas Day, to help my reactive and aggressive dog, Hurley, safely get tinsel out of his stomach. It has taken me so long to write a proper thank you because shortly after this incident, we had to euthanize our boy. I am still actively grieving, but I want you to know how much you are appreciated, especially under the extreme stress we and our dog were under. You all risked yourselves to help my dog without hesitation. He snapped over and over at the air, wanted to get as far as he could from you sweet people as possible, and you still tried your best to instruct me to help as his trusted person, get a cone on, give him dose after dose to vomit the tinsel - and it worked. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking care of us and our boy that morning. Upon returning home from RI, we had to say goodbye to our boy due to his aggression soon after. This was one of the last awful memories for us and stressful events for him after years of trying to help him, manage triggers, medications, and consulting with experts to keep him happy and everyone safe. He was at his lowest seeing you all, and you showed him and us grace that made it just a little easier, and that meant so much. People are often quick to blame, not understand, or lack empathy - but not your team. Thank you a million times over for your quick action, thoughtful consideration in reducing the stress and any procedures for Hurley, and for your compassion for animals and people alike. I will never forget that day for more than one reason, the second being how you responded with huge hearts. Thank you, you all are actual angels on earth.

Dr. Wood and Hannah made me feel like they could do anything. So helpful, caring and knowledgeable. They went well out of their way to make me comfortable in a most stressful situation. There were dayside doctors and staff that also contributed to Beau’s recovery. Amazing, all in their own right. I will recommend VEG to all my family, co workers and friends. Thank you for saving my best friend’s life. I can never thank you all enough.

My little jack Russell was in a lot of pain. I called and they were extremely professional and polite. I can't sit in small rooms and that was not a problem. They immediately started checking her right when we arrived. They took really good care of my pup. I highly recommend this animal hospital. Again I highly recommend this animal hospital.

So grateful we have VEG in Woodbury. My dog had her first major ear infection that accelerated rapidly by the end of the day and the whole staff made the experience as good as an ER experience could be. My dog was well cared for and it was really lovely to see how much the staff cared about each family that came in. Also, the cost was not as high as I expected an ER visit to be. In these tough economic times, it’s a relief to know my dog could get the emergency help she needed at a cost that didn’t absolutely break the bank. Thank you so much to the amazing team at VEG.

Dr. Fahey and the entire team here at VEG in Palo Alto were absolutely fantastic! My dog inhaled a foxtail and they immediately took action and resolved the issue! We are so grateful for their professionalism and care. Every person we interacted with on their large team showed us kindness in a stressful situation and helped answer all my questions. We were in and out in less than an hour and a half and the price was so reasonable for the level of care he received. Highly recommend this group.

Sadly, I had to rush Robert back to VEG just hours after our first visit because he suffered a severe second wave of anaphylactic shock. To say this team is life-saving is an understatement. They immediately admitted him for a 24 hour overnight stay, monitored his shifting vitals minute-by-minute, and completely pulled him out of danger again.While the entire 24-hour staff was incredible, Dr. Beckwith, Dr. Ritchie, Erin and Carolyn were absolute heroes during the day and overnight shifts. They treated Robert like their own. They gave me total peace of mind during a mentally draining crisis. Carolyn and Dr. Beckwith laid the perfect foundation during the day and the overnight team Dr Ritchie and Erin took exceptional care of him through the night. I’d like to reiterate, the ENTIRE staff was amazing! I just don’t remember everyone’s name! Thank you VEG Mount Pleasant! Thank you all for giving my boy his life back twice in one day!

A million thanks to everyone who was there to help my boy Loki! Since Thursday Loki was acting strange not eating. Friday morning we woke up and his whole face was swollen, took him to the vet I work at and they did amazing. Gave him two injections to help with the swelling and itchiness he was having. Was good for the rest of the day. Friday night before we go to bed, he starts shaking his head a lot but I read it could be due to the injections so I left that alone. After going back to work my gf told me Loki’s eyes are not normal and that he’s acting weird again. She brings him to me at work and I noticed his eyes ( look at last picture ) they were I guess getting swollen and bulging out. So we left my job and went straight to this amazing crew! Dr Godfrey, Cyle and the other tech( didn’t get his name, Mikayla (may be spelt wrong and the young gentleman who greeted us at the door were alll amazing and very caring for my little golden! They immediately started getting his vitals, checking him out as soon as we got there. I can’t thank them enough, I’m very pleased with how they handled everything. I definitely have already recommended everyone I know to go there in case of an emergency! Once again Dr. Godfrey and crew thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 🙏

Came in with a cat that was expelling out of both ends. We were treated with care and kindness. The staff and Doctor were pleasant and polite. I would recommend this place highly. The plan they came up with was reasonable and the price acceptable given it’s an emergency room. The condition of the facility was clean as well. They are also conveniently located making it an easy 2mile drive there. I’m happy to have found a Vet ER so close, clean and kind. Thank you for helping my kitty out.

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 place is so empathic and kind. Treated my pup from a scary situation. Their bedside manner is impeccable, their knowledge is fantastic, and their care for my pup was top notch. Yes, they are a little costly as they are an emergency vet, but they saved my best friend's life, so I owe them my most sincere thanks and gratitude. Hope yall stay in business a long long time!

We took our dog penny here late into the night due to her leg pain. We ended up finding out she likely has a torn ligament and will need surgery. Our dog hates the vet so much and was not at all cooperative to getting shots to sedate her for the X-rays. The team at VEG was so understanding and accommodating despite her freaking out. She was a tough cookie to deal with, but Dr. Bogart and her team handled her with ease. Our poor dog was scared to death but they were so sweet and kind to her, helped settle her down and ultimately we were able to get the X-rays we needed. I wish we could go to them for the surgery she needs, but we will definitely be back for any emergency needs. I cannot recommend them more highly! Do not hesitate to bring your pet here, the team is lovely ❤️

Team, Without question , I would give this place six stars. The care loved and concerned that they showed or our little loved one and my wife, was more than I could ask for. We were there for an unfortunate circumstance , but you can feel the sincerity and love as soon as you walk through the doors. The attention we received, the detail in which we were explained what was happening and the follow up shows the people who work here , love what they do. It is a great happiness that I save my life.Receive the best care she could have ever gotten and is now doing great. Thank you to all the staff at Veg ER!!

Today was our first visit to VEG and I was pleased with our time there. Our regular mobile vet couldn't fit us in so I headed to VEG to have my dog's eye checked out after an incident. It was busy but I felt like we were seen in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable price. I liked that my dog was able to sit with me while we waited and during the exam. It helped keep him calm. Everyone we encountered was caring, kind and thorough. Will definitely return if needed.

I had a great experience with this pet ER. While I was watching my friend's dog, I needed help administering his insulin, and they stepped in without hesitation. They were knowledgeable, patient, and handled everything with care, which gave me a lot of peace of mind because to be honest I was getting anxious and worried he wasn’t getting enough of his dose. It's clear they genuinely care about animals and know how to work with pets that have special medical needs. I really appreciated their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate veterinarian/ vet ER. Thank you everyone for all your help.

We made a visit to VEG Henderson for our cat who had a urethral blockage. They triaged him extremely quickly and efficiently, and he was in surgery within the hour. The clinic is open concept and they allowed me to watch his procedure, ask questions, and see his care team in action. He stayed for 48 hours and every shift did an amazing job taking care of him. They allowed me to stay with him as long as I wanted, and I was even able to say hello and chat with some of the other owners, too. The staff really care about the animals and owners and are always happy to answer questions. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care team. They also offer a 10% military discount.

God forbid you ever need their services, but if you need it, these people are absolutely amazing! They love animals first off, and their customer service is amazing! They’re accommodating and understanding! They made us all feel right at home and completely comforted us in our time of need! Our dog loved all of them, which made getting his treatment so much easier. I am so grateful they were able to see us so fast. Thank you again for your services!

Had an emergency for a kitten left by mama in the rain at 5am today, called them and sent by husband by. They helped IMMEDIATELY and were incredibly kind 🥹 Husband says the place was clean and extremely professional looking. The person that answered the phone was quick and very sweet. 10/10 Staff asked for the coloring of the kitten out of pure interest, included is her photo below.

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.
