They took such great care of my cat star! We brought her in because she had been hurting and we knew we had to put her down that night, They put us in a comfortable relaxing room to love on her while she was getting put to sleep. All of the staff were super kind and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to her! They also sent me home with so many paw prints and fur pouches With her fluff in it, which meant so much to me! A few days later, we got a call saying that her clay paw print was ready and I picked it up today and it was absolutely beautiful!!! They are such an amazing animal Hospital and I definitely recommend!!!!!

When we had to say goodbye to our dog, Latte, this clinic made one of the hardest days of our lives as gentle as it could possibly be. She suffered from end stage lymphoma, and we looked into several veterinary clinics beforehand, and this one stood out for its reasonable pricing. But more than that, from the moment we walked in, the staff guided us straight to a private room with no waiting in a busy lobby, and gave us all the time we needed to grieve and to let Latte go at our own pace. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and we could feel how much they truly cared about us and our dog throughout. We had arranged to take Latte home afterward for a private cremation, and the way they prepared her for us was beyond anything we expected. She was placed in a paper coffin with flowers, and when we asked, they even clipped some of her fur and placed it in a small glass bottle to include with her. It was so thoughtful and so full of heart. Latte deserved the most loving farewell, and that's exactly what she received here. Every staff member was compassionate and kind. We are so grateful we chose this clinic, and we're so glad Latte's last moments were held with such care. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts💖

I cannot say enough amazing things about the team at VEG in Larkspur. At 3am, after calling multiple emergency vets throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area and being told there were no surgeons available, VEG stepped in and saved my dog’s life. Finn was in an extremely scary situation, and from the second we walked through the doors, the entire team treated him like their own. Dr. Donner and her surgical team were incredible — calm, confident, compassionate, and transparent through every step of an emergency surgery. After surgery, Dr. Walker and her team provided outstanding post-op care and monitoring. They kept me constantly updated, answered every question with patience and empathy, and made one of the most stressful nights of my life feel manageable. You can truly tell that every single person there deeply cares about both the animals and the families attached to them. Thank you, Dr. Donner, Dr. Walker, and the entire VEG staff for everything you did for Finn. We will never forget it.

I can't say enough good things about VEG. After my dog was bitten by a rattlesnake last week, we rushed him in, and from the moment we arrived, the staff was incredible. They immediately took my pup in, were so gentle, and kept us informed every step of the way. They made us feel at ease, even offering coffee and water to my family while we waited. I really appreciated their transparency and care--it was never about just the money, it was all about helping us and our dog. I'm so grateful to them!

Our ‘very’ active year and a half old pup was running through the woods and hurt her dewclaw! It was a Sunday and our regular vet was closed. We do have a closer emergency vet, but they had a 2 to 3 hour wait, We thought we’d drive just a little bit further and go to VEG ER. Our compliments begin with our arrival, The nurse who checked us in was so kind and comforting, although a minor injury, there’s still a bit of panic when you love your dog! I noticed she was so friendly with everyone that came in the door. Everyone seemed very comfortable for an emergency room! Our second compliment would be the nurse, our dog was a bit nervous and shaking like a leaf, the nurse was so kind and gentle as she took our girls vitals. Our third compliment is to Dr. Stevie, she was fabulous, very knowledgeable and confident and knew exactly what to do and what the results would be! They had to knock our pup out to remove the dew claw and everything went exactally how they said! The weight was not bad at all, considering an emergency room! The entire staff was absolutely fabulous and We have an extremely high recommendation for this emergency room! Our pets are our love and priority…VEG ER Treated our girl as such! Thank Dr. Stevie and staff!!!

We recently found ourselves in need of emergency vet services in the middle of the night with an out of the ordinary stalled labor & delivery of our one of our expectant females in our breeding program. The entire staff was friendly & professional throughout our entire time & care at VEG, Asheville. Drs Bentley & E were great to work with! They acknowledged that I was veteran breeder, and understood this was not my first rodeo. Nick, Amy, & Kristy rounded out the entire team that came alongside me and my dog to assist in the best possible outcome for her care & her pups during our time at VEG. One of the MOST important aspects of VEG is that you are allowed to stay with your pet during their care. For a breeder this was the up most importance, for me to keep my eyes on my dog and how she was or was not progressing during her labor and that I was still able to whelp her pups myself. Great clinic & staff! Highly recommend! -Trish, Antler Creek Siberians

Thank you so much to this clinic for taking care of my pup after she got into my pill case and ingested my meds that are toxic for dogs. They were sweet, swift, informative and just all around amazing. They were in quick communication with ASPCA poison control. For an emergency vet they are also affordable. They even provided our girl some parting gifts. So glad I chose this facility. They are a well oiled machine and care for the animals and owners. Everyone here deserves a raise for their work. There was everything from distressed heartbroken owners to slight issues that they dealt with each situation kindness, compassion, reassurance and advocacy. Dr. Rogers was a dream. So helpful in explaining the clinical stuff to a layman and reassuring us as pet parents. We were there for a messy situation involving inducing vomiting. Everyone was so kind in making sure she was comfortable. Everyone deserves a raise stat!!!! Shout out to the real heroes the nurses, techs, nurse practitioners who guided the messy process with a large breed. I was stressed so miss their names but they are included in the raise requests.

I cannot say enough about the staff and our experience this week at VEG in Snellville. Our 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Madyson, was immediately triaged and taken for X-rays upon arrival. She was suffering from a sudden GDV (bloat), a life-threatening condition involving a twisted stomach that requires emergency surgery. Given her age, the potential complications and recovery challenges, and her ongoing struggles with Cushing’s disease and thyroid disease over the past two years, we made the incredibly difficult decision to let her go peacefully and return to her Heavenly Creator. The tears continue to flow because Madyson was truly the best dog. While our hearts are broken, we know we made the most loving and compassionate decision for her. The entire team at VEG was exceptional. They were kind, compassionate, patient, and willing to answer every question we had. They never rushed us and allowed us to spend as much time with Madyson as we needed. I am so grateful to have a 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital so close to home. I trust their expertise and their evaluation completely. While I hope we never need emergency services for our other dogs, it brings me comfort knowing that VEG is there if we do. God bless each and every one of you. Thank you for being there for us during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

VEG ER is amazing. They have a very caring team and I credit them with saving my dogs life after he was exposed to methamphetamine at dog beach. After we were released from the hospital we had several concerns. Each time I called I was able to immediately speak with a doctor. Truly exceptional care. Thank you all so much!

My cat Stewart was pretty sick, so I brought him to Medvet after he vomited blood. They were absolutely horrible. After waiting hours past when we were supposed to be seen, we left. I tried to get him in to OSU, but they were full and recommended VEG. I had actually never heard of them, but I haven't really dealt an emergency situation before. I called, in tears, and they immediately helped calm me down. Once I got there, they brought us back right away. They listened to all my concerns and addressed everything I mentioned. They were transparent about possible problems he could have, the costs of everything associated, and treatment plans. The vet we saw was Sarah. She's absolutely amazing! I couldn't praise her enough. Sarah and all the other staff were kind and compassionate. They were everything you would want or need in an emergency situation. I couldn't be happier about the experience we had and would recommend them every time! Thank you guys so much for helping our little guy out in his time of need. He's doing great thanks to you all!

Last week was a scary week for our family.. Our 10-year-old lab, Digger, needed emergency intestinal surgery after ingesting four pairs of underwear (yes… FOUR 😭). I, along with my family want to publicly thank the incredible team at VEG for the way you cared for Digger, and for the way you cared for me and my family through it all. From my endless tears and heartbreak to every decision and “what happens next,” you walked me through step-by-step with patience, compassion, and true professionalism. With his age and a very difficult healing process, we’ve had countless visits and still have ongoing ones… and not once did you make me feel like I was being “too much” or overdramatic. You understood that Digger is family, and you treated him like he was your family too. And as you can see by the picture, his brother Dallas is worried about his big brother too. ❤️ The love and worry doesn’t just stop with the humans in our family, our pups feel it too. We’re still not completely out of the woods, but I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your care, your kindness, and the compassion you show every single day. Thank you, VEG, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🐾 God Bless, Marla and Doug Stilwill

Wow! what a facility. Nothing fancy but efficient. The staff is fabulous! They made me feel at such ease when my bird was attacked by a cat. The doctor and vet assistant were so caring and knew their stuff. Nothing reassures a parent more.I travelled all the way from Clarksville, and would do it again in a heart beat. I'm happy to say Pippy is doing well and resting. Her Hubby said to tell you THANK YOU! C.Mason :)

Saving grace! This facility and the angels 😇 working there are hands down the best. The open environment where you are with your pet and around the staff the entire time is perfect and eases stress. Dr.Rushing is great but seriously the entire team is top notch! I can't believe they have so many people under 1 roof that are so compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, empathetic, loving, calm, full of heart, hard working, personable, humorous, driven, and all the other stuff that makes you love a group of humans after 1 visit. Thank you all so much for taking care of us and our beautiful girl Aurora last night. I hope I don't ever need to but I'd drive 2 hours to see you again if needed. One last thing..... I want to apologize for Aurora's dirty looks and especially to the doctor that got completely shut down and rejected for trying to read her a Harry Potter book. Lol she really prefers you sing her made up songs about how much you love her and how beautiful she is. Lol A big thank you from Princess Aurora and her servants

We’ve always had great experiences here but really appreciate Dr Wilson seeing our Milo, a blind and deaf husky, for some ongoing tummy troubles. On a stormy night the Dr showed concern for safe travel for our fosters and once onsite outlined the plan, again taking into consideration the late hours of the fosters. He was easy to talk with and ask questions to & very knowledgeable. Just a really great experience overall plus he showed a lot of consideration for our rescue funds. Dr Wilson stands out but we find every experience at VEG to be similiar, filled with compassionate, knowledgeable people who care about pets AND the people who are taking care of the pets. Milo shown here snoozing away while waiting on his test results.

Dr. Giana Gigantino and really the whole staff were phenomenal. We called on a Sunday night, walked them through what happened and told us best option would be to come in to be seen so we can figure out next steps. They gave us great recommendations, priced everything out before completing a service, and were very open and honest with how we should provide care. Kira is a very anxious doggo and they made her and us feel very comfortable in an emergency. Hope to never be back, but will go back if we ever need.

A sincere thank you to Dr. Diana, Amanda, Jenna, and the entire team at VEG Cambridge for the incredible care and compassion shown to my dog during our visit. From the initial assessment to the X-rays and blood work, everyone was so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. Dr. Diana took the time to thoroughly explain the examination findings with such insight and care, which truly helped bring comfort during a stressful moment. We are deeply grateful for the professionalism, empathy, and dedication your team brings every day. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my dog Gomdori!

My dog, Pepper, got on the counter and stole a rib from our bbq take out container. She had the whole rib down her throat before we could grab her. I called for some guidance and they suggested we come in. We came right to VEG and were met with the most helpful staff! From beginning to end, I felt welcome and cared for. Pepper ultimately had to undergo surgery to remove the rib bone, and everything from the price to the process was explained thoroughly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend VEG for anyone in the vulnerable position of needing help with a pet. Thank you all for your care and attention to a very special part of our family. ❤️

Absolutely outstanding care! We brought our retired Military Working Dog in after a bad hit-by-car injury, and the team at VEG was phenomenal. A huge thank you to Victoria (our vet tech) and Dr. Hopper for their skill and compassion. The entire staff worked together seamlessly — it was impressive to watch. The front desk lady was also wonderful and so helpful. One tiny suggestion: name badges or quick introductions would be nice so we can personally thank everyone. VEG is truly the gold standard for emergency vet care in North Atlanta. Highly recommend!

Most definitely, THE BEST, place around if you're needing emergency care or just basic care for your pets, the staff that worked the night of our girls emergency were AMAZING, i sadly only remember one of their names (Julie Bulford) i think that's how you spell the last name. They never took our girl out of our site, they let us be involved in helping with her (optional) They never did any testing, treatments, medications, etc without asking first and also going over everything previously and making sure the price was okay with us before jumping the gun. I've never been to a vet with so much respect and compassion for our pets, i will continue to be a loyal customer to this place and also owing them our lives for saving our chihuahua (M.GiRl) Thank you guys SO MUCH all of you we're IMMACULATE

Amazing care for exotics. My wife and I took in one of our goats for stomach issues and the team that helped us and our goat were rockstars.

2 for 2. No facility is perfect, and an ER naturally comes with its share of challenges, but we truly appreciate the care shown to our disabled pug. She suffers from spinal cord disease and is unable to relieve herself on her own, so occasionally we need a little help. Over the course of two visits, the staff was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring. Because it’s such a busy facility, there was only one staff member present during both visits, all the others were new to us. That said, every person we encountered clearly had our dog’s best interest in mind. Especially Dr. Kim and Dr Paola (Didn’t get her last name). As a pet owner, it’s important to understand the difference between what is medically necessary and what may be recommended to reduce liability or rule out more serious concerns. Some reviews criticizing costs may not fully recognize that distinction. Ask questions, educate yourself, and discuss options before approving testing — the staff has always been willing to explain recommendations and answer our questions thoroughly. If you are considering surgery and have the luxury of time, it may also make sense to consult with a specialist, as this is primarily an emergency facility. At the end of the day, aligning expectations with the purpose of the facility matters. We’ve consistently been impressed by the kindness, compassion, and professionalism shown to both us and our dog, and we will absolutely continue bringing her here when needed.

I came in on Sunday with my beloved guinea pig in a sudden decline. I spent the entire day at VEG with my toddler and I cannot express how wonderful their entire team was. They could clearly see I was struggling to hold the line between how emotional I really was and needing to keep my toddler occupied and semi-quiet and they quietly did everything they could to help not just my sweet guinea pig but also us. I’ve never ever been to a hospital setting pet or human that was this caring, this prepared, and this thorough. I unfortunately had to bring my girl back in the middle of the night to euthanize her and the way they cared for us all truly meant everything to me. Thank you guys so much for trying so hard 🤍

My Jack Russell was attacked by a coyote. I called ahead and they had doors open and table ready with all hands on deck. The calm demeanour by everyone helped keep me calm. He stayed 4 days since he was in such bad shape. They saved his life and treated him like he was their own. I know he was held and loved at night when I or my husband couldn’t be there. Thank you Dr Boiskin and Dr smith (day and night doctors who spent by far the most time working on him). Highly recommend VEG!

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my cat last night but....I couldn't have asked for a better place and better people. I had been taking her to another veterinarian than VEG ER. EVERY employee treated her like she was family. They were honest AND caring. The compassion was off the charts. Extremely knowledgeable and caring doctors, techs, receptionist....all of them provided service well beyond 5 star.

My partner and I have had to bring one of our cats here twice within a week, both times for urinary symptoms. Everyone was so kind and helpful, good at explaining what was happening, and made sure we knew what it would be like when our boy came out of anesthesia, since that can be disconcerting. When we first came in, he was very anxious and started panting, and they had an oxygen chamber they could put him in to help him calm down. It was much busier the second time, but they did their best to keep things moving forward for all their patients, it was impressive to watch from the private room they were able to give us for a few hours. A lot of the vet techs were the same both times we came in, and they recognized us and were so sweet with our cat. Every one of them clearly loves each individual animal they care for. They even had rain sounds and crickets playing in the cat room my boy spent a day hospitalized in, to help keep things calmer. I’ve just been really impressed by how kind everyone we’ve talked to there has been. I’ve called with late night questions a couple times, well before ever bringing a pet in, and they have been so patient with me, without fail. I also appreciate not having any anxiety showing up here as a queer couple. Because VEG makes a point of advertising inclusivity and respect for all kinds of people, I can focus fully on my cat’s health and not on my vet’s potential opinions about me and my partner. I wish we didn’t need to have an emergency vet we know and trust, but I know we have that here. I know if I bring either of my cats here they’ll be getting good care, no matter which of the vets is in.

I cannot recommend VEG Sandy enough! They deserve a 100/10 rating for the incredible care they provided. I had to bring my cat, Jack, here on a Saturday morning when he was extremely sick. He was suffering from a very high fever, severe abdominal pain, could not eat, and was completely lethargic. I was incredibly anxious and scared, but the moment we walked through the doors, everything changed. Their unique protocol is a complete game-changer. Unlike other emergency vets, VEG allows you to stay by your pet's side the entire time. The doctors, nurses, and the entire staff were exceptionally compassionate, professional, and sweet. They explained every single step and were completely transparent with the costs before doing anything, which gave me so much peace of mind. They managed to break Jack's fever, treat his stomach pain, and brought him back to life. I am sharing 5 pictures: the first 3 show how sick and weak he was that morning, and the last 2 are from today—completely healthy, happy, and full of energy! Thank you so much to the wonderful team at VEG Sandy for saving my baby and treating us with so much love. You are truly the best!

My Frenchie, Romeo, developed a sudden, severe ear infection overnight. While we were walking, he began screaming in pain and shaking his head uncontrollably. Being in Kingman, AZ, on a Saturday night with no vets open was heartbreaking and terrifying; I felt completely powerless watching him suffer through a night of whining and crying. As a truck driver, I was incredibly relieved to find this 24/7 hospital along my route in Henderson, NV, on Sunday morning. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredible. Dr. Lorenza Malaguti is truly amazing, she is skilled, caring, and showed so much love towards Romeo. The nurses were equally attentive and clearly passionate about their patients. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the nurses helping Romeo. It is now Monday night, and Romeo is already back to his happy self running, jumping, and pain-free! He’s even back to doing what he loves most: destroying cardboard boxes! I am beyond grateful for the service here. I didn’t mind the wait at all; I saw other owners coming in with even more serious emergencies and was happy to wait while they were helped (that definitely tells you that the staff prioritizes emergencies correctly, which is a sign of a well-run hospital). They took amazing care of my baby, and that is what matters most. Also, a quick tip for other Frenchie owners: These dogs require specific care and the bills can add up fast. I’m so glad I have pet insurance and highly recommend it to others!

We had an excellent experience at VEG ER with our Loki. The team was careful, thorough, and detail-oriented throughout the visit. They clearly explained everything, and never tried to upsell us on unnecessary tests or treatments. They had all needed testing and diagnostics in-house and able to be done that night. They diagnosed the issue and provided the medicine needed to resolve it. I would absolutely bring him back if we ever need emergency vet care again.

This place is amazing! If your pet has an emergency, come straight here! They allow you to stay with your pet at all times and they do all procedures right in front of you. Our dog was here for 48 hours and we were allowed to sleep right next to her. The staff is AMAZING, kind, professional, friendly, competent. I do not have a single negative thing to say.

My first visit here was regarding cremation arrangements for my soul dog. The entire team handled our interaction with grace, patience, and empathy for my loss. My second visit was this week with my 3 month puppy who had been injured by another dog. There were familiar faces from my previous visit, and again, the entire team was kind, understanding, and knowledgable. Dr. Blutinger tended to Bean Burrito (my puppy) with undivided care and concern. He answered every smart or dumb question I had with patience and worked with me to develop a treatment plan that was realistic served the overall well-being of sweet Bean. Though you never want your furry family members to need a hospital, this is the absolute best place to come if ever needed. Mogging on you all by attaching a photo of Bean because she is the most adorable creature on the planet.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. From the frantic first phone call to walking out the door, I have never experienced such care, compassion, and kindness. The team were fast yet thorough, exceedingly compassionate and gentle, with skilled and knowledgeable hands. Unfortunately it was our girls time to pass and the team were just wonderful to us. The facility has a dedicated room for time to be with your family in a private setting for saying goodbyes. The financial side was a little steep. However, I will say it was worth every penny because oh how skilled, compassionate, and comfortable they made the experience. To the team working the early morning of July 3rd, thank you. Worlds can’t express our gratitude.

Upon entering, my dog was able to be seen in under a minute. I was involved in the entire process and the staff was so kind and compassionate. The techs made sure I was ok and rubbed my back as I received my dog’s cancer diagnosis and made sure I was comfortable and made me coffee while I waited. I have never encountered such kindness at a vet before. The doctor was direct and kind and came up with a realistic plan for keeping my pet comfortable for the duration of of her illness with no pressure do unnecessary treatments or expenses. I have already recommended this office to my friends and family and will continue to do so.

First I took my baby girl to an urgent care clinic. After waiting for about 30 minutes her condition got noticeably worse. The staff then said they couldn’t treat her condition and that she needed to go to the ER immediately. I’m so grateful that VEG was available. The team acted quickly, provided effective treatment, and ultimately saved my baby girl. I don’t have pet insurance, but the self-pay cost was reasonable than I expected—under 2k for her condition. Most importantly, she’s fully recovered within a day and back to her happy self! Thank VEG! For the excellent care and compassion! 🥰

Truly amazing experience with this team. They were kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and quick to address our emergency. All the things you need when dealing with an unexpected traumatic event with a pet. They were thorough and treated our pet as their own. I am blown away at the level of not only customer service, but caring VEG offered our family. Truly, thank you.
