The staff exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional care. Despite the ER being quite busy all staff seemed to be in great spirits and worked as efficiently as possible. I felt so comfortable here and so did my Luna. Thank you so much to everyone there! Your pet will be SO cared for here :)

VEG Frisco has always been there for my dog 24/7. Every time we went in, no matter if it’s a dog attack wound, explosive diarrhea, or urinary issues, we were always seen right away. The doctors and nurses gave my Charlie so much love which eased his anxiety at the vet tremendously (PLUS I GOT TO BE THERE WITH HIM THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS). I love VEG Frisco and will definitely return if i ever need them again!

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 had to bring a dog I’m dog sitting, Wally, into Veterinary Emergency Group in Edgewater today, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the entire team was incredibly kind, calm, and attentive. They immediately took Wally seriously, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a really stressful situation feel so much more manageable. Every single person we interacted with was compassionate, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure Wally was okay. One thing that stood out so much was how transparent they were about what they were doing and why, and how they kept me involved and informed the whole time. You can tell this team really loves animals and takes pride in the care they provide. Emergency vet visits are never fun, but if you ever find yourself needing one, I would wholeheartedly recommend Veterinary Emergency Group in Edgewater. Wally and I are incredibly grateful for the care and kindness we received tonight. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond.

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.

We had a scare with our recently adopted cat and the team here was so compassionate. We had such a long and frightening night but they took very good care of my cat. They gave us drinks and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Even though we were there for hours they still made sure to check on us and get us in fast upon arrival. Thanks to them we got referred to Paws Vet Clinic who also have an amazing team who did everything they could for our Mugen. Thank you! We really appreciate the team for taking care of him! He’s doing so much better now 💕

Amazing staff!! I have never needed to bring my sweet boy Bruce to an ER vet before. I am so thankful that VEG was the one I visited. Everyone who worked with me and Bruce were so kind and informative. They listened to my concerns about my boys tummy problems and helped ease my nerves while providing excellent care! Will definitely be my go-to ER vet going forward (fingers crossed that we aren’t there again for a long while!)

Everyone from Anneque at the front , the technician ( whose name I did not catch) and Dr Bailey were so lovely. Also, the Dr that I spoke with the following day was so thoughtful, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with. While my puppy was stable, there were multiple bigger emergencies being attended to. The care the patients, and the owners were receiving was all done with expertise and kindness. Bari and I say thank you so very much !

We are so grateful for the care our dog received at VEG when she suddenly passed out. It was a frightening experience, but everyone we encountered was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring. The team treated our dog wonderfully and performed a thorough evaluation to determine the cause. They kept us informed every step of the way and made us feel confident that she was in the best hands. While she recovered on her own, the testing and evaluation gave us tremendous peace of mind that there wasn’t a more serious underlying issue. Thank you to everyone at VEG for your expertise, kindness, and exceptional care during a very stressful time.

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.

Our little 1 year old puppy ate a penny. At first we weren't too concerned because penny's are small. After googling it and seeing how incredibly dangerous it is for animals because penny's minted after 1982 are primarily made of zinc and zinc toxicity can be fatal to the dog we went right to an emergency room. They induced vomiting but no luck. That clinic recommended VEG to have an endoscope used to try and grab it to pull it out. We called and they said bring her right over. They were right there at the door and incredibly friendly from the start. We loved the open/transparent floor plan and kept us informed the whole time! She was super stressed and nervous when the were inserting the port for a blood draw and to put her under and the doctor started doing a silly dance that totally distracted her and put her at ease. Plus we were right there with her to help calm her! They were successful in pulling the penny out and were just as happy and relieved as we were! This will be our Emergency Clinic if (hopefully not - praying not) we ever need their services again. Honestly the staff was so incredible we can't say enough!!! She recovered so quickly afterwards and as you can see from the picture of her in the car she was back to being herself!!!

I took my beagle in at 2:30am and they were absolutely fantastic. I called ahead for advice and after talking to them they decided he should be seen. They texted a link to my phone and I submitted a very quick intake before bringing my dog in. Upon arrival, everyone was so sweet and caring. The open concept allows you to be with your pet at almost all times so there is no waiting around and wondering what’s happening. From the ER doctor to the nurses and triage, everyone was truly comforting and keeping me informed and comfortable at all times. My pup had to stay for 12 hours for an IV drip and I was able to leave and comeback whenever I wanted. Kasey, the overnight person we worked closely with was an absolute dream. She got him comfortable and checked in on me often for anything I may need while we waited together. When I returned later to check on him, Dot, his day nurse, was so sweet with her care of him and trusted my judgement on how to get him to cooperate. They put us in our own room while he finished the IV to give us some quiet time after a long night. I’m not a big review person, but after going through a stressful situation with my little love, the entire staff made it far better than I could have ever expected. Knowing they are there gives me huge relief should something go sideways again. Compassionate, kind, even funny (when appropriate and quite frankly needed). They love animals and will treat yours like their own.

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.

I'm blown away by how great this vet in the photo was. She saved my pet sitting client's dog's life. When I brought the dog in she was knocking on death's door. They moved so quickly and saved her life. Also your front desk lady on April 18th at 9am was fantastic. This place is 20 million times better than the other emergency vet on H Street.

My experience with the Manhattan Beach VEG this week was very positive. I help take care of a group of community cats nearby, and one of our older ones, Hal, had been sick for a while. There was unfortunately nothing we could do for him except to end his suffering, but Dr Cespedes, RVT Coco and the hospital manager (sorry, I forgot your name!) were so kind to us in this difficult moment. They remembered I’d called the day before to explain the situation, immediately gave us a private room, and handled our scared feral cat gently and respectfully. They also made arrangements for his cremation, which I really appreciated. This was a very difficult day for me, but I felt supported and cared for here. A heartfelt thank you for your compassion! ❤️

After our local emergency vet turned us away we went to VEG. Amazing facility! The staff works so hard and are so kind and empathetic. I hope I don’t ever need their services again, but if I do I wouldn’t go anywhere else. THANK YOU!

When my 13-year-old dog became seriously ill and was referred here by our vet, I was terrified. She was in a DKA state, severely dehydrated, and not eating. In all her years, I had never been through an emergency hospital visit with her before, and I felt completely overwhelmed walking through the doors. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated both of us with such kindness and compassion. My dog spent 4 nights and 5 days in their care, and during that time, I never felt like I was just another worried pet owner. They supported me, answered my questions, and helped me feel as calm and informed as possible during one of the scariest experiences I’ve had with her. I was especially grateful for the open-concept layout of the hospital. Being able to stay near my dog and see the team working gave me so much comfort. It made the whole experience feel more transparent, human, and connected. I will always be thankful for the care, patience, and compassion shown to my girl when she needed it most. I’m equally grateful for the kindness and support they showed me as a pet owner during one of my most emotional and fragile moments. I will never forget that.

The long awaited review! My star team! ⭐️Dr. Klipin ⭐️Yoshi ⭐️Nayeli ⭐️Rene ⭐️Brandi ⭐️Dr. Kuscevic ⭐️Diana This team is AMAZING! I don’t even know where to start. I came in on Saturday 06/06 at 9:30pm for an endoscopy on my son, Luther (doberman) who swallowed a small tennis ball. The team got to work very quickly starting him on Apromorphine. First dose didn’t work, YAY let’s give another dose to my hard headed boy!… still nothing. Fantastic! Let’s do an x-ray. “Mom, you’re gonna want to come see this” The team finds not 1, but 2 balls. Endoscopy time! I got a front row seat to watch the whole procedure which was very entertaining I might add. We end up finding out that this not so little man was putting together what Dr. Klipin very accurately referred to as a ‘treasure chest’. He had devoured 1 pair of my underwear, 3 tennis balls, a couple of pieces of cardboard and a heck of a lot of grass. Every pull was a celebration! 🎉 Unfortunately not everything got to be pulled out since it was located in some very hard to reach crevices in his stomach. We’ve reached the 2hr window… time to consider surgery. This is where I start getting emotional. Yoshi was very personable and starts to reassure me that everything will be fine; that this isn’t the first case they see like this and most definitely won’t be the last. He was by my side every step of the way and for that I appreciate him. We proceed with surgery. It’s 4am by this time and I have to work at 8:30am🤮 so I go home to take a nap. I come to see Luther during my lunch break and was absolutely delighted to see that Diana was sitting on the floor, taking care of Luther. She didn’t recognize Luther or I at first but she was one of the previous nurses at the Banfield Coral Gables location that quite literally watched Luther grow up from 3 months old to the wonderful boy he is now. I was SO excited to see her. I came back later in the day to pick him up and got told by Dr. Kuscevic that he was recovering with flying colors. YAY! On my way out to the car, I ran into Yoshi coming in for his shift. He could not believe that Luther had recovered so well and was so so excited for him to go home. I apologize for the long story time. Overall I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who helped me through this process. Nayeli, the vet technician who monitored his anesthesia and all of Luthers needs during his procedures. Rene, for getting a killer finger and hand workout when she was gifted the title of “the grabber” during his endoscopy (I hope you’re ok girl…because OUCH). Apologies to anyone whose name I left out! Here are a couple of pics of my menacing boy recovering maybe a little too well. He swears this whole ordeal was a figment of my imagination because he is completely unfazed.

I brought my kitten in last night and was seen by Dr. Weymouth and Nurse Mahala. I can't thank them enough for the care and attention they gave us. They were incredibly informative, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and were so patient with all of my questions. They even stayed overtime to make sure everything was properly taken care of before we left, which really meant a lot to me. What I appreciated most was their honesty and professionalism. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my kitten's well-being. I left feeling confident that she got the care she needed. Thank you, Dr. Weymouth and Mahala. I'm grateful to have a 24/7 vet I can trust with my pet.

To Dr. Huizar and the team, thank you so much for your kindness and dedication in helping Lucy through a successful surgery and saving my girl's life. I'm truly grateful. Lucy is recovering very well now and I can't thank you enough for your care and compassion.
