I truly cannot say enough good things about VEG and the care Aster received. From the moment we arrived, it felt like everyone genuinely cared about her—not just as a patient, but as our baby girl. The entire team was incredible. Nurses who had rotated off Aster’s care would still come back to check on her, visit her, and say hi. I wish I could remember everyone’s names because so many people deserve to be recognized. The doctors were equally amazing. I’m someone who asks a LOT of questions, and I challenged just about every path and decision along the way. They never rushed me or made me feel like I was being difficult. They listened, explained their reasoning, talked through alternatives, and made me feel like we were all working together to make the best decisions for Aster. During an incredibly scary 3 days, having that combination of medical expertise, patience, communication, and genuine compassion meant everything to us. We are incredibly grateful to the entire VEG team for taking such wonderful care of Aster—and for taking care of us along the way, too. One is the real photo and the second is the photo aster is sharing with her friends I said it was made with AI but she said it was allll real. ;)

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Rusch and the entire team at VEG Flower Mound for saving my dog’s life. On Friday night, our dog needed emergency surgery for GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), and from the moment we arrived, everyone was compassionate, professional, and incredibly caring. Dr. Rusch and his team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. My family and I are deeply grateful for everything you did for our dog and for the kindness and support you showed us during such a frightening time. We truly appreciate your dedication, expertise, and compassion. Thank you for giving our dog a second chance.

Hazel was very well taken care of when we had to come in this week. All of the personnel were fantastic and treated Hazel with the best care I could ask for! Everyone took time to explain to me Hazel’s care plan and all of the procedures and allowed me to observe and ask questions. We were given a private room to stay in and when Hazel had to stay overnight she was placed in a quiet room to help with stress. The assistants even gave Hazel the princess treatment of hand feeding when she wouldn’t eat any other way. I am so grateful for their support and friendliness during a stressful time for Hazel and I. I would recommend VEG to everyone and it would be my first choice to go back to in the event of another emergency! Thank you to all the wonderful employees!!!

Best emergency place ever. Stuff is super professional and cute. They are so attentive and helpful, also friendly. My Arya’s doctor was Dr Yogo Never seen a doctor who was so warmly to my dog, professionally helpful. Thank you so much You guys saved Aryas life !

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.

If you have to go to an ER we cannot recommend VEG enough. Dr. Rogers, Calysta, Ashley, Tiffany and Cassie all took such good care of our dog. We felt comfortable and informed through the whole process. It’s all open concept and they let you watch and be with your pet as much as possible. Our dog was hospitalized overnight. Two days later we had concerns and went back. They took great care again. Buddy sends all his thanks and love to the team! Remember, it is an ER. There are sometimes waits if there’s an animal that is more critical than yours. That’s why they triage. It is expensive. I feel like compared to previous animal ER experiences we had, I would pay the premium here to be able to see what is happening and be informed throughout. We would absolutely come back if needed.

It was a busy Holiday when I brought my pup there as she was breathing rapidly. She was checked out immediately & then the staff triaged based on need. I was grateful that my pup was not as sick as many others & I appreciated the staff focusing on the pets with the greatest needs. I watched the staff provide expert & compassionate care to every pet/family. I know the treatment plan they developed with me for my pup prevented more serious issues. Thank you for being there!!

Sophie, Kris and Dr. Ulmer provided incredible care to our cat, Sushi. All were so nice and welcoming in a very stressful time. Sushi, if given a chance, would share these same sentiments and highly recommend for VEG ER to any pet parent in stressful and uncertain times, and here's to all who visit in the future that you find just as much support, access, and resources VEG ER is providing. The big decision factor was the open floor plan, and being provided a room once the initial assessment was completed. Thank you again VEG ER.

everyone at this hospital loves animals and humans everyone that helped on my cat, billy's case especially all three doctors that were on his case. They have an amazing loving staff day and night and an amazing team it was hard on everyone and they were so loving and caring and kind with me and especially my boy there was ups and down on his health and that god he made it out but regardless he was in such good hands i never once stressed about how they were handling him and caring for him thank you all so much again sending much love from my cat billy and I. I'd also like to add your allowed to stay with your pet as long as you want and can even sleep there. And the doctors really take their time to explain to you EVERY LITTLE thing so you feel included and they help you understand everything even the anatomy of your animal your even allowed to watch the surgeries and be close to your animal you will never once feel left out.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG of Carle Place. We unfortunately had to make the incredibly painful decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog of 20 years. The entire team was absolutely amazing and showed us so much compassion and empathy throughout the entire process. From the moment we arrived, they treated our dog with such gentleness, dignity, and love. The staff gave us all the time and space we needed. We will always be grateful for the way they cared for our dog and for the kindness they showed our family when we needed it most. Thank you to the entire team for giving our sweet dog such a peaceful and loving goodbye.

I stayed with my cat Marco a majority of his 36 hour stay at VEG and encountered a few different shifts of nurses and doctors. Every single person on those teams were welcoming and understanding beyond my expectations. I never once felt like he wasn’t in the best possible care. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for better treatment during and after his procedure thank you everyone so so much.

Our experience at VEG-Chantilly far exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely attentive from the moment we arrived, meeting us at the door and completing an immediate triage. The large, open, shared room was surprising, instead of the usual individual 'hidden' exam rooms. We observed all pets being given floor pads or blankets for comfort, and everything was cleaned immediately after clients left. It was comforting to see staff interacting with every pet as though it were their own, giving lots of love and making owners comfortable as well. Diagnostic bloodwork was done onsite, with very fast results. Dr. Samantha Storey treated our dog for seizures, sharing her first-hand experience with the condition, and she instilled confidence that the chosen treatment plan would allow our young dog to live a happy life. Our visit to VEG-Chantilly was stellar.

I cant forget that Sunday, july 19, we brought my anton to VEG ER due to blockage for 2 days, i was in emotional wreck seeing my anton crying and in so much pain is unbearable . We arrived in the hospital and you can see the immediate assistance/action that they provided.. all through out the process, they explained what to expect etc. they let us know all updates for Anton. Doctors, nurses, assistants are not just an employee, they showed compassion and love to animals in the extent that i was amazed. They did everything that they could to save anton and i cant take you enough. Dr Dittmann, Dr hopper, nurses and assistants, i will never forget all you have done for us and Anton. He is still in recovery and hoping he gets back to his old self soon❤️

My dog swallowed a santol pit. When I called this place in a panic, the vet was very calm & suggested I bring Eevee in for evaluation. I’m glad I did and not wait the following morning. They injected her to make her vomit and out came the pit. The staff was excellent, explained every detail of her treatment & very transparent with the cost. Very nice people that show care & compassion to both the dog & the guilt-ridden mom. I’m highly recommending this place.

Intelligent. Compassionate. Patient. Thorough. Empathetic. Insightful. Friendly. Funny. I could put a million words together to describe the folks at VEG but these are the ones that have to be there. We brought our 2 year old male cat Kenny to them with a urinary tract obstruction in the dead of night on a Thursday, and the team there kept intensely diligent care of him until Saturday evening throughout several procedures and monitoring sessions. They also took tremendous care of us. They were earnest with us when necessary, transparent and firm in the most important moments, and humorous and helpful throughout it all. They were endlessly generous and did more than they had to do to help us at every turn. The only failure in our experience was me not remembering the names of all the nurses doctors and attendants who helped save our cats life. I owe them all an eternal debt of gratitude for their generosity, their willingness to fight for our cat and for us, and for their supreme compassion and empathy.

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 was so fortunate to bring my Aussie bearded dragon here when he had a respiratory infection. Everyone was so sweet, sympathetic, and helpful. I felt so at ease when they handled him and took him under their care, and paid swift attention to his needs. I highly recommend bringing any pet here, and I guarantee that you’re in the best of hands.

the greatest pet ER in texas, i wish i could tell everyone personally to take your pet here. Sí hablan español! we got to be by our dog’s side through it all, up to walking him up to the X-Ray room and surgery prep station. The surgery and X-Ray room have a window so you can get little glimpses of whats going on. every doctor and nurse on WallE’s case were attentive, kind and communicated any changes with his health. they have an open concept which i don’t think most people are used to but i found myself grateful to have other pet owners close by. we are all sad and stressed so having that sense of community really got us through that time. i truly feel like everyone who works there cares for these animals and are passionate in giving their patients the best care for them. when wallE was diagnosed, we were texted an invoice on how much treatment would be. to be real, its pricey but just like in human hospitals, everything is much more expensive because the hospital needs to have access to all kinds of medicine and equipment immediately. i highly recommend this place for emergencies! your regular vet will obviously be cheaper but if your looking up animal hospitals right now, its either emergent or outside of the hours your vet is open. if you don’t qualify for any of the third party credit options like we did, they offer alternative options! im so grateful we came to VEG hospital, they saved my dogs life. thank you Dr. Adam and all the other doctors and nurses who helped us.

Wow! We are currently fostering to adopt a 9 week old puppy and she started throwing up and having diarrhea today. We were referred to Blue Pearl who ended up being full and actually referred to another place that was also full. The second place referred us here and I am so thankful. This place was amazing. The staff was excellent. Super friendly, they all really loved their jobs and caring for all of the animals that came in. Special shoutout to C who was our intake tech in the isolation unit. She was vibrant, fun, so great with our puppy and just kicked off the whole experience on a positive note. Our Doctor, Dr. Morgan was also really exceptional. Very kind. Throughly walked us through what might be going on and what steps would be taken. Do not get me wrong, this was an emergency vet, we spent about 3.5 hours here, but we were constantly asked if we wanted any water, coffee or anything. That was really thoughtful of them. This will be our 1st stop moving forward in case an emergency comes up again with our babies. I can’t say enough positive things.

We had to bring our fur baby Heidi in for emergency care at VEG in Sugar Land yesterday & Dr. Lee was wonderful. He was so caring & kind to both us & our fur baby. She’s truly our baby so it made a huge difference while we were so worried & she wasn’t feeling well. All of the staff & nurses were awesome too. Our girl was actually happy each time someone came in to get her for testing, to check on her or to talk with us. We’re so grateful for the level of care & kindness we received. It made a difficult situation a lot easier to get through. We highly recommend this place if you ever need emergency vet care.
