I've been to them twice in different cities and have had a great experience at both. My dog got sick at 2am and they took her in right away. The staff is the best and will always recommend them.

The staff was exceptional, Tiana immediately greeted us with a smile and got us checked in. Nurse Alexis was friendly and compassionate while assisting our sweet boy! Dr Eicher was attentive and thorough during the exam. We appreciate the comfort of the facility, couches separated to provide pet families space, coffee, tea and water readily available. We would be happy to go back BUT we hope we won't need the services.

Marilyn and the staff was very helpful and transparent. I had bad/serious news delivered to me about my pet and she did a fantastic job delivering it and having the tough conversation. She gave me follow up instructions and gave me professional recommendations on how to handle my pets condition. She made a difficult moment a little bit easier which I think is priceless. It’s an open layout so you could see the entire process and even be part of the process. I think that’s very important for pet owners since we care about their well being.

I was totally upset and worked up when I called VEG ER, but the gentleman on the phone was incredibly kind and calm. When I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and organized the building was. The open concept floor was not what I was expecting but it was really awesome being with my dog every step of the way. The gentleman that helped us offered a bed for my dog to lay on, which was good because we waited like 5 hours. They offer snacks, drinks, as well as blankets for humans because it gets quite cold in there. Everyone there was kind and friendly. You could really tell they were dedicated to their job and providing the best experience for their patients. My princess loved being able to watch everyone walk around her and was completely content. The doctor even sat with her when we were finally seen so she wouldn’t have to be moved. :) All the staff talked to her like a baby whenever they addressed her which made me happy too. Really shows they love animals. Paid about $660 to find out she didn’t have a lot of poop in her, but the peace of mind was worth it. Getting to see how they take x-rays was cool too, even if my poor baby had to be manhandled hehe. The bill was much cheaper than I expected, which was nice. It was for the initial exam and the x-rays. Would highly recommend coming here for a transparent, wonderful experience! ❤️

We spent the last three days at VEG with our beloved 5 year old dog, Jammer, initially suspecting he had HGE… which turned into a much more harrowing experience than we could have fathomed when he didn’t respond well to treatment. We were terrified, emotional, and thought we would have to euthanize him after 36-40 hours (and even planned his necropsy, prepared to say our goodbyes.) Each and every single vet and tech and receptionist we worked with over the past few days was nothing but compassionate, caring, supportive, and willing to discuss each and every option. The fact that this amazing team was even willing to consult criticalists on his behalf multiple times speaks to how much they care… and ultimately was what saved him, along to their top-notch care, their willingness to allow me to assist with treatments, and even permitting me to do his esophageal tube feedings unassisted. He is alive today thanks to the team at VEG. His future is unsure… and we have a long road ahead of us, but we wouldn’t have even had that option if not for this team. He is HOME, which is all I ever wanted through this ordeal, even if it’s not for long. I cannot, and I mean CAN NOT, thank everyone at VEG enough. Jam, my husband, and I are beyond grateful. Thank you for allowing us to stay with our boy throughout the insane holiday weekend, providing us everything we needed, and caring for him like he mattered to you like he matters to us. Dr. Summers, Dr. Huff, Dr. Mac, Dr. Lockhart, Dr. Logan — and most especially Jam’s angel of a tech, Sam — THANK YOU for saving him for us to see couch naps and car rides and joy again.

They are amazing. Make her feel so welcome to provide blankets and towels and food and IVs that can be moved so she can sit by the window and in the private room we can visit her 24 seven the staff and the doctors are so welcoming and kind and accommodate for any needs, and they make her feel safe and provide private rooms with multiple things that you can use to feed help sleep and pee in.

My kitty Zedd was having trouble breathing and we were really worried about him and couldn’t get him in anywhere else so we decided to take him over to VEG to get him some help. The entire experience was absolutely amazing. They got him in as soon as we walked in the door and they got him on Oxygen ASAP and ran through their check up. The vets were incredibly transparent through the entire process and they did not go crazy charging extra money on anything. I really appreciate the extra special care they took and I was right by his side throughout the entire process. I’m so happy we decided to rush him here rather than taking him to the normal vet and potentially having to wait while his breathing got worse. We learned that he has asthma and they went through all the steps with me on how to take care of our baby and make sure he was back to feeling better and breathing easier. Not only could I see the quality care they were giving to my kitty but also all the other animals at the clinic. Highly recommend VEG to anyone else who needs emergency care for their pet and knowing good well that they will do a spectacular job! Thank you so much for making our boy feel more like himself again! :)

This place is AMAZING! I called to inquire about services and wait time and the person who answered was helpful and sent a link to pre-register my dog. Upon arrival, it was like a pregnant woman in labor as staff greeted us by name, got my senior dog comfortable with a mat and blanket and did triage on the floor. We were just there for a bad ear infection but we’re still treated as a priority in a very kind and caring manner. Be prepared for the open style of care… you kind of can see and hear everything but it helps you understand the flow and serious priority (dog was rushed in and coded and EVERYONE stopped what they were doing to help this dog!) The staff and Doctors were so caring, they really listened and were not judgemental in any way. They treated my pup and sent us home with meds and instructions. PS… you can call anytime and speak with a Dr! Highly recommend!!!

It’s safe to say Priscillie was NOT happy with ME when I brought her home but she received the best care ever and I’m so happy I tried this place out! I cannot thank the staff enough for how kind, patient, and caring they were. I got to be as involved as possible to help ease P’s anxiety and they went above and beyond with all aspects of her care! I hope I never have to go back for emergency care but, knowing Priscillie, I probably will and I will definitely be using VEG!

I cannot thank everyone at VEG enough over the past 2 days. On Sunday morning, I had to take my dog there that ended up having a blockage in his intestines after getting into one of our cabinets while I was away. Although the wait was a bit longer than usual with it being Memorial Day weekend, they made sure both my dog Jordan and I were comfortable while we waited. Once we met with a doctor, they made sure to do an in depth examination while keeping him calm and near me which helped. They went over the treatment plan and payment plan options with me and made sure to answer the multitude of questions I had for them without making me feel like I was being annoying or wasting their time as they were extremely busy. I ended up having to keep my dog there, but they allowed me to come get him at 1:00am as I had wished once his treatments were done instead of making me keep him there overnight. Since unfortunately we could not get his obstruction to move, I did end up taking him back the next day. As soon as we arrived, multiple staff members greeted my dog Jordan by name and were very attentive right away when they saw us again which I greatly appreciated and was impressed with. They brought him a giant soft bed for him to rest on during the check in process. We were about to move forward with surgery, but the new doctor on shift wanted to double check imaging again to make sure it was necessary even when I told them to go ahead and do whatever they needed to just to get this out of my dogs system. I agreed to the plan or reimaging and am glad I did! We ended up getting the blockage to move, and with the medication provided we ultimately got it out of his system without surgical intervention (which we originally thought was necessary). I appreciate them saving me a ton of money instead of just moving forward with surgery right away! He is now resting at home. Shout out to Dr. Prada, Dr. Bugg, the very kind nurses/assistants (apologies that I cannot remember everyone’s name) and even the security guard for helping us! We LOVE you all!

The receptionist Fantasia I can't thank enough for her kindness and attention she gave as we said goodbye to our beloved dog MJ. The entire staff sprang into action as soon as we walked in the door. My dog was almost 16 years old and was fading. The entire staff handled us with compassion and empathy in what was a heartbreaking moment. It was if for that moment they became an extended part of our family and I will never forget that. Thank you VEG ER! Michael "MJ"Jackson 8/19/2010- 4/22/2026🌈🐶💛

This was my second visit to VEG with my senior German Shepherd, Juno, and once again they exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with kindness, compassion, and genuine care. What stands out most is that they never make you feel like just another appointment. They take the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and make sure both you and your pet feel cared for. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. Every doctor, technician, and team member shows up with so much compassion and passion for what they do. As a pet owner, especially when you’re worried, that level of empathy means everything. I’m so grateful to have VEG nearby and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Juno again. Thank you for taking such incredible care of her.

I unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to put my sweet girl to sleep. I cannot thank the VEG ER staff enough for their kindness, patience, and empathy. Special thanks to Dr. Cuccaro for her amazing bedside manner and providing me with all of the details to make an informed decision; Theodore whose calming presence made such a difficult situation easier to handle; and Nathan who was so gentle with my baby. They allowed me to take as much time as I needed with her before and after & went out of their way to make sure we were both comfortable. It’s a decision nobody wants to make, but if you have to this is certainly the place to do it.

I brought my kitty, Lucky, in on a very busy Saturday, holiday wknd night. They immediately assessed my cat and kept me up to date as they managed all of the other animals. I can’t say enough how professional and compassionate the entire staff was. I was so impressed watching them flow like a well oiled machine with caring and compassionate for every animal and human. They saved my cat’s life. He unexpectedly went into Diabetic Ketoacidosis. They got him stable, were very caring with him and made sure I got to take him home. the entire staff was phenomenal! Thank you

Great experience all around! We took Jolene in on a busy Sunday after getting into a little scuffle with another pup and we were seen very quickly. All of our options and the cost of each option were explained to us and the tech answered all of the questions we had so that we could make a decision on how to treat Jolene’s wound. We decided to start by having the wound cleaned to asses the severity of it and our final decision was to give her a few staples to help her heal quicker. We were never pressured into choosing the more expensive option - I appreciated the integrity here! We were allowed to stay with Jolene the entire visit and they sent her home in a high quality cone to prevent her from trying to nip/scratch/or irritate the wound and interfere with the healing process - much appreciated! I took Jolene back today to have the staples removed and it was another great experience! Alex greeted us at the door with a smile and took us back straight away. Our vet tech Sonny was so patient and great with Jolene. She was super friendly and even took the time to answer questions I had about one of our other dogs which I really appreciated. So much love for the wonderful staff at VEG!

Our experience at VEG was nothing short of amazing. I brought my AiChan “Chi chi” in at the recommendation of our vet. She had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes the week before. She was lethargic, refusing to eat, peeing and drinking a lot. We had not received our insulin yet and local Costco was on back order. From the moment we stepped foot in the door we were welcomed and taken to a room right away. The staff interaction with me and her was comforting. Chi chi stayed with them from Wednesday to Friday night. I received updates regularly on her status and felt reassured knowing she was doing well. I was also welcome to come at any time to visit. I loved the fact that I could stay with her the whole time if I wanted. Being that I had never administered insulin before they took the time to teach me how. Before leaving they cleaned her well, made sure we had everything. The staff and doctors were all so attentive and caring. I could feel the love they have for our pets. Thank you all for making our experience during such a stressful time comfortable and loving for her. Side note: thank you for shaving her and making sure her new “fur-cut” didn’t look crazy 😉

I would like to highly recommend and thank the emergency animal hospital VEG ER in White Plains on Tarrytown Road. My newly adopted cat needed emergency care for a surprise bladder issue on Sunday morning and again on Monday night. The vets, vet techs and staff there were so amazing and our boy got the best care. Please visit them if your pet needs emergency care. I was blown away by their thorough care and extremely good bed side manners and kindness with humans and animals. You can tell these people love animals and their jobs. Also please keep Rubio in your prayers for continued healing. Thanks! Before and after pictures thanks to VEG ER in White Plains!

Our baby we found out has anaphylaxis after we rushed her in for care. They assured me it wasn't my fault and based on all of the tests and imaging it was more than likely a severe reaction to a likely bug bite or sting. We spent about six hours there and I felt involved and comfortable the whole time. Everyone on the team was reassuring and welcomed questions which helps me rationalize what's going on. They followed up with me on some questions I had on medications. Extra thank you for the magic turkey and gravy baby food that made her feel so much better. Luckily she was seen right away and there had to be at least four people attending to her at first. When we were out of the woods and had to be monitored I got to stay with her in a quiet room between check ins. Then she got to thankfully come home with us and is much much better today. Although I left with anxiety about future anaphylactic shock events I feel thankful to be so close.

Dr.Constantinou answered all of our questions and made sure our cat was okay. Nurse Coco was extremely helpful and patient. I want to give a huge shoutout to Nancy, she made us feel comfortable and made the situation so much easier. She is a very sweet person. I also want to mention the environment is very clean! Pricing is very reasonable. My cat is good now :)

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 also love that you are able to stay with your pet the whole time! The facility was very clean and rhe staff was continously cleaning which is also so great to see!

VEG saw my French bulldog for a heat related injury. As soon as we walked in the door we were met with prompt attention to our girl. She was on a treatment immediately despite the fact she was in fairly stable condition. The entire staff was so welcoming, loving and empathetic. Dr. Eisemenn met with us instantly and began the exam right away. Dr. Eisemenn and his team were excellent! Yes, emergency visits are expensive and we were provided an estimate without asking. We really appreciated the upfront transparency. Happy to say our girl is feeling as best as she can and she is recovering nicely at home. We are really grateful to the VEG team because this could have been a worse situation. Thank you!

Both of my cats have been admitted overnight. The most recent one was the scariest. He was very close to death and they were very quick to take care of him. They monitored him so well and gave him all the things to make him better. We slept there with our cats both times and it has been amazing each time. They are not only attentive to your animals, but to you as well. They genuinely care about you and your animals wellbeing. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone

I first brought my 15-year-old dog here after she had a seizure a little over a month ago. I was incredibly impressed with how quickly the team acted, you could truly feel their sense of urgency and genuine care. Dr. Indya Woods was so kind, took the time to explain everything clearly, and respected every decision I made regarding my girl’s care. I loved being able to be with my dog throughout the whole process too! The nurse who helped us was also amazing, though I unfortunately can’t remember her name. It was such a scary and emotional situation, but I feel very grateful and blessed that my dog received the care she did. Update: Unfortunately, my girl had another, smaller seizure this morning just as I was about to leave for her primary vet. Since they were still closed, I called VEG for advice regarding the rescue medication they had previously sent us home with. They were incredibly kind, walked me through everything, and made me feel confident in my plan. Dr. Lauren Finney went above and beyond and even provided me an additional dose of the rescue medication, which I deeply appreciate. It gives me more peace of mind knowing I can help my dog at home if needed (though I pray I won’t have to). I would absolutely recommend this team to any pet owner facing an emergency. They truly care-not just for your pet, but for you as well!! Thank you all so much!!

Veg ER Georgetown is amazing! The staff is caring, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I called the facility on a Saturday evening after midnight when my 8 year old Cocker Spaniel ate an entire block of cheddar cheese with caramelized onions! I was so worried and upset and didn't know what to do. When I called the Georgetown ER the receptionist was so kind and calmed me down. He told me not to worry and he immediately got the Dr. on the phone. The Dr. listened attentively and took the time to explain the best protocol for my dog. She asked me for the name of the cheese that my dog had eaten and quickly researched the ingredients and the amount of onion content per block of cheese. Luckily, the % of onion in the cheese was not in the danger zone for poisoning a 44lb. dog. I was utterly relieved and thankful for the help of the Dr. I wish I could remember her name, but unfortunately I was so distressed I forgot to write it down. Without asking for any compensation she took the time to genuinely help me and put my mind at ease. Thank you VEG ER Georgetown you are wonderful human beings!! My dog is feeling much better and thanks you as well!!

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!

My wife & I are beyond grateful for the entire Veg care team! We both had low confidence our pup would make it through this “storm.” From the moment we stepped through doors the bed side manners, the support from understanding and helping us make tough decisions, the love and care they showed to our Pup to encourage her to fight through everything, and to each team member doing whatever they could to help support us all by making us comfortable however they possibly could….. no words can express how beyond grateful we are for each and every amazing individual working there. A special recognition to Dr Lee, Dr Timberlake, Miss Emily, Taryn, Chelsea, & Sam. You all were truly our Angels through out this entire experience. Each courageously steered our ship through this storm helping my wife and I keep faith that God would see us through this through the hands of you all. We observed how the entire team over two days, balanced putting every patient (and their owner) was given full individual attention, care, and support for. Each of you all are amazing individuals and admire you all! Also to the Director who came to us to offer starbucks- even a small gesture like that meant soooo much us- thank you! We have definitely decided that for the future, we will only be going here and would recommend here to everyone for their pet care emergency needs

It's hard to find the right words to express how thankful we are for this entire team!! Our sick pup spent two nights here and our family spent many, many hours ourselves here. We must have met almost their entire team and every single one of them was kind, caring, smart, empathetic, calm, and straightforward about what our pup would need. It was truly incredible that they allowed people to stay with their pets- and still stayed calm with multiple emergencies at once and multiple humans watching them!!! I really don't know how they do it. Feel so, so lucky to have a VEG here in Littleton. Thank you all for providing life saving care to our guy Rocky❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹

This place is the absolute best, hands down! My 7 month old puppy, Scout, was injured at a doggy daycare facility and everyone at VEG jumped right in to help him. From the moment we walked in, they listened to our concerns and thoroughly explained every detail of what they were doing to aid him. They were so gentle and compassionate and even sat on the floor with him to evaluate and kept it very low stress. I loved that I was able to be with him the entire time instead of him being hauled away into a separate room. My emotions were high and they made me feel calm while still validating my concerns. I have never experienced such compassion, care and transparency from any veterinary hospital the way we did here. Thank you so so much Dr. Dane and the entire staff for helping our little guy get on the mend! We are so so grateful.

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 ❤️

The amazing team at VEG saved my best friend and I will forever be indebted to them (both literally and figuratively 😅). I called in a panic that my 12year old pitbull may have bloat, and staff on the phone suspected the same, so we sped right over. Within minutes of arrival, the vet techs had done scans to confirm her stomach was indeed twisting and she needed surgery immediately. It was all-hands-on-deck to swiftly get her catheterization lines placed and release gas from her abdomen to give her some relief while the operating suite was being turned over from another surgery. I was allowed to stay with my baby as they prepped her, which was unexpected and deeply appreciated (despite how upsetting it is to see your baby go limp with sedatives and get intubated). They recognized a possible adverse reaction to the sedative within minutes and quickly reacted to address it. They kept me appraised of every step they'd be taking, then gave updates throughout the surgery. By some miracle, (really by the magic of the talented VMDs there), my old lady not only survived a major complication, (total splenectomy), but also came through surgery and recovered swiftly. I was even allowed to stay with her post-op in her kennel, which was another unexpected and happy surprise to me. I went from thinking it was time to say goodbye to my beloved old girl, to bringing her home less than 24hours later. I write this review 1-week post-op, with my old lady happily snoring next to me, and am certain this wouldn't be the case if not for how well-trained and impressive VEG staff is. Every extra moment with this girl is priceless, and VEG gave me time I didnt think I'd be getting as soon as I knew her diagnosis at this age. THANK YOU VEG!!

We found ourselves at VEG ER on a Saturday morning with our kitty, Dewey (not what we had planned, but alas). We were greeted by Aaron, who went above and beyond in terms of kindness, customer service, and making sure we were all comfortable. Dr. Landry was the veterinarian on duty, and I really appreciated her bedside manner, the time she took to talk with us and explain what she thought was going on with Dewey, and just her general personality and warmth. The wait was long as there were quite a few others there, but I wouldn’t have traded it for a shorter wait given how great the team was. I also want to give Vincent and Katelyn a shoutout. They were our vet assistants for the day, and they were both wonderful and kind even though Dewey wasn’t 😭

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.

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.

Everyone there took very good care of my dog Mandy today! The receptionist (Raven) was so kind and made us feel comfortable. The technicians and Doctors were friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. Noone ever wants to need the ER, but sometimes we do and it is so comforting to know how much they care! I also love that you are able to stay with your pet the whole time! The facility was very clean and rhe staff was continously cleaning which is also so great to see! Mandy says thanks for taking care of her 🥰🐾
