emergency
vet hospital

I wish this animal emergency was open before my other dog passed away. You are able to stay with your pet throughout much of the time. Everything is open and transparent and the staff is very empathetic towards all concerns. All questions answered. The prices are not on the low end but I do not believe i was overcharged, as this is a 24 hour emergency hospital. What a great peace of mind to know there is this kind of care day or night for our animals. Everything is comfortable and yiu can stay with your pet the whole time! Tbe restroom is very clean! Hopefully it stays like that! They have snacks and beverages for the humans. We never want to have to have these visits but just know they are there for our animal babies! Five stars all the way!!

VEG ER was amazing in helping me when I brought in 5 two day old kittens, one of which needed surgery—an amputation. Dr. Sullivan, Theresa, and Trey were the dream team, expertly navigating this surgery on such a tiny, two day old kitten body. We’re calling him Hercules, and he and his sibling are thriving because of their quick, quality care! Thank you so much 🙏

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!

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🌈🐶💛

I brought my French Mastiff Enzo in the other night. He had a seizure out of the blue in the middle of the night. They ran tests and sent us home with to monitor him and to come back if he gets worse while we wait for his bloodwork. Well later that afternoon he seized again and we watched him. Well went back later in the evening as he got really bad and Dr McGhee was there. Our mastiff was 10 1/2 and had lived past his life expectancy by a few years. The staff and Dr McGhee were amazing. Enzo was an amazing dog and they showed him dignity and kindness. Our whole family was there as we knew this was going to be the end. I believe Enzo held on for all of us to be there. I told Dr McGhee how I always pictured knowing it was going to be time to put him down and I had a whole day planned of Enzo getting all his fave treats and just being spoiled. The Dr and Techs went and made a plate from stuff in their lunches. That meant the world to me. Unfortunately Enzo had stopped eating and didn’t get to enjoy it, if he could though the plate would have been licked clean, but just the gesture of their kindness in a time that was so hard for all of us. I can’t put into words how amazing that moment felt to me. I can’t even put into words what Enzo meant to my family. His loss is felt to a degree that is unfathomable. He was literally not just a dog and he was never treated like a dog. He was family. The vet and techs treated him just like that, not like another sick animal but like a family member who just couldn’t fight anymore. Enzo made sure we were all there and just like he did for us everyday, we all made sure we were there for him. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness they showed to our old man who was the greatest gift we ever had. Thank you Dr McGhee and staff for supporting us and helping us with a process of life that is the worst part. The sacrifice of time and your lunches was a great tribute to a great dog! I included pictures of his smile and his fave past time of sleeping.

TL;DR: My dog Peanut had emergency bowel obstruction surgery and was hospitalized for 4 days and VEG was beyond incredible. Wednesday morning my dog was refusing food for the 2nd time, had no balance, had been throwing up and needed help. Brought her to VEG ER for Pets in Maple Grove. Immediate in, X-Rays, blood work, IV, and a nasal tube to her stomach because they were going to try and empty it. Bloat was removed out immediately but they came back with an intestinal blockage and severe dehydration. Not quite sure how far down the blockage was or what it was entirely. There was a chance it was hair and grass and that mass hydration could get it to move and we wouldn't need surgery. So we stayed and hydrated through her IV for 8 hours she went through almost a liter of fluids IV. The first time they tried to empty her stomach there was no luck. The 2nd time they emptied 900ml of fluid from her stomach. Almost a liter of fluid just sitting in her stomach. They re-ran all the tests and sadly she needed surgery. They were quick, prepped her and were going to start immediately. I went home because I needed to take care of my other dog. They called about 2 hours later. Surgery went extremely well, they removed the blockage and were keeping her the night for recovery and for her GI track to wake up and start moving Thursday I went down and saw her for a couple hours, sat with her, tried to get her to eat with no luck. Brought one of my sweatshirts for her for comfort. Did get her to drink water and they were still pulling a lot of fluids from her stomach because her GI track wasn't waking up. I went home for a couple hours before going back down again. She had started to have some diarrhea but it was just watery on herself. They determined to keep her another night with the hope of Friday to be the day. Friday I got an update that improvement stalled. She wasn't progressing but she wasn't worsening. Her potassium had also dropped significantly. So they'd put her back on it and had also started to feed her through her NG tube to try and get her GI track to wake up and function again but based on the quantity of fluid they were still extracting they were going to keep her for the day. I went down to see her and they did inform me she'd licked some baby food. I also brought down a chicken and rice mixture for her. She was beginning to get reactive and snippy with the vet techs when it came to her NG tube or IVs but we made some steps with her eating some of the food I brought and was told before I arrived she'd eaten more baby food as well. I was hopeful for Friday evening. I called to check after I'd gone home again but she was still producing too much fluid in her stomach that they didn't feel comfortable sending her home. Saturday morning 6:25am I woke to a phone call. She'd improved drastically overnight. Was eating more, keeping less fluid in her stomach, and had the diarrhea under control. I could come get her and bring her home. I told them I'd be there in an hour. A little after 8am Peanut and I were on our way home. I'm beyond grateful and appreciative of all the staff at VEG for their dedication, help, and support.

Lawrence is an outstanding provider! He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and takes the time to thoroughly explain everything while making you feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care. The entire team is caring and professional, and I always feel that my pet is in good hands. One of the biggest advantages is that they offer a 24-hour emergency clinic, which provides incredible peace of mind knowing your pet can receive care any time of the day or night. I highly recommend Lawrence and this veterinary clinic to anyone looking for exceptional, reliable care for their animals.

We brought our 3-year-old tuxedo cat in at 1am on Memorial Day. Laura Hauser was the doctor in charge, and even though our cat FREAKED out, we managed to get blood tests & x-rays, and went home with a treatment plan. All test results were made immediately available to our primary vet (Dr. Kuhlman at Gramercy Park Animal Hospital) and we were able to follow up with a probable diagnosis (IBD) and treatment plan. This was going well for a couple of weeks until 3:30am on 6/13, when we discovered that Chico had ransacked the compost bucket. Laura Hauser was on call, remembered Chico, and gave us helpful reassurance over the phone. At midday, when our primary vet instructed us to go to VEG ER because Chico had vomited twice, we were seen by Dr. Jake Weggeland, who was gentle, attentive and professional. Nicole and another assistant administered the anti-nausea shot quickly and efficiently with minimum distress to Chico (who FREAKS out in vet offices--did I already mention that?). So, shout out to everyone.

The experience we had, at one of the worst nights in our life, at the Viera, FL VEG was exceptional!! At 1:30 in the morning Memorial Day we brought our golden doodle, Scooter in for emergency care. I woke up at 1:30 AM and noticed Scooter was lethargic. I took him out in the yard raining and he just laid down and would not get up. We immediately took him to the Viera, FL VEG. He had a swollen stomach with heavy breathing. The ladies there immediately took him and started testing, including blood work, ultrasound, X-rays, starting IV’s etc. He had a seizure on the table. Needless to say we were a mess. That same day he was swimming and playing like normal with the kids. We were told he had a large tumor on his spleen that had ruptured/sepsis. He was only 7-1/2 years old with no previous major issues. A 60th birthday gift to my wife. Inoperable with 2 to 30 days to live. We made the only decision we could make. They brought us in a candle lit dark room to let us say good bye. They believed he could hear us but the seizure took allot out of him. The doctor came in when we were ready, 2 minutes, could not stand to see him suffering. He received the shoots and our best friend was gone! Nothing so terrible could have been done any better! The doctor and technicians (Jessica & Jessie) were wonderful!! Excellent service in one of the worst times in our life!!

I had a great experience at VEG this past weekend. Lucy needed emergency surgery after swallowing a sock, and the entire team was compassionate, professional, and communicative throughout the process. They took the time to explain everything, kept me updated, and made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. It meant so much to me that I was able to visit Lucy after her surgery whenever I wanted. Being able to see her and check on her during such a stressful time provided a lot of comfort and reassurance. I am so grateful for the care Lucy received and am happy to report that she is recovering well. A special shoutout to Dr. Bradley for her kindness, expertise, and dedication. Thank you to everyone at VEG for taking such great care of my girl!

VEG was competent, helpful and kind. They act quickly and seem to genuinely care about our bunny. The price for the service was reasonable as well. I recommend them and will go back if I need to.

We found our sweet 12 year old dog struggling to breathe and move early in the morning. We called VEG and they answered immediately and said to bring her in. Once we arrived, the immediately began to try to help her and save her. They were calm compassionate and so gentle. Unfortunately, we lost our sweet pup. The staff was so amazing. They let us sit with her until all or family could arrive to say goodbye. I was so impressed with their kindness and help as we made final arrangements. Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful through such a terrible time.

Went to VEG ER in Elk Grove, CA on Sunday 6/21/26. Let me start with they were absolutely wonderful! I have heard great things from friends in the vet field and I follow the VEG instagram as well. They definitely did not disappoint. My soul dog, Lilly, has kidney disease and heart disease and was fitting the symptoms for possible kidney failure. Nolan did our intake and was very kind and down to earth. Dr. Huntyr Mcmurty was Lilly’s doctor and she was compassionate, kind, caring, and listened very well. Dr. Mcmurty laid out what our options are and we agreed to proceed with blood work to check kidney values and go from there.after blood work supporting what I expected, extremely increased kidney values, Dr. Mcmurty explained our next options for hospital care or supportive care until humane euthanasia, of which we decided to do the latter since Lilly is 15.5yrs old. Overall the experience, as hard as it is to be with your sick fur baby, was very pleasant because of the wonderful care team and staff. I regret that I didn’t catch everyone’s name that helped Lilly, but each person was exceptional. All this to say it was very busy, a bit short staffed, and yet they still managed to remain calm, triage very well, and provide excellent care. If anyone needs an emergency vet I will always recommend VEG. Oh and those curious of pricing: with a sick and elderly dog I already expect to pay at least $500, and with ER vets I thought it would be significantly more, but was under $600 for an exam, blood work, medication, and subcutaneous fluids. So in my opinion very reasonable and well priced. Thank you VEG for all you do. Vets, vet techs, nurses, assistants, you are all amazing and no amount of praise can describe my gratitude towards you all. Thank you ❤️

VEG Redmond were wonderful during our cat's illness and passing. I called to see if they had availability when our kitty had labored breathing at 8 pm and they encouraged us to come in right away. Our girl was 14 and had an overactive thyroid and kidney issues. Wanted to add that on. She had lived a great life already and the end just came faster than we wanted. The staff was so welcoming and professional. We were able to be near her while they worked. They have state of the art tech just like human hospitals! They ensured she was comfortable and sedated during procedures and were very gentle. They even trimmed off some mats on her belly for comfort. The vet was honest about the prognosis and offered different tiers of service to decide on based on our budget. Our girl was near the end so we took her home and she passed with us the next day. We took her back for cremation services and they were just as kind. Highly recommend for sick animals! We saw lots of happy animals walk out after good care 😊

We brought our cat Roxy in not really knowing what was wrong. Emergency vets can be a little overwhelming but this location had some of the nicest staff I've ever met in the vet field. Dr Johnstone and the staff were incredible. They were quick to get vitals on my cat, listen our concerns and previous medical concerns to try and figure out what was wrong. After some test came back it was determine our cat was in a dire urgent situation due to her diabetes. After Dr Johnstone thoroughly went over treatment options we decided euthanasia would be the most humane option. It's never easy to say goodbye to a pet. I had my furball for over 15 years. The staff was so sincere with the process. Making sure we had a private room, had time to say our goodbyes and just over all very professional. I was happy to hear they offer paw and nose prints free of charge and a patch of fur. My Roxy will be cremated and returned back within a week or so. I just want to thank the entire staff again for their professionalism and sincerity in this tough choice. They never once made me feel what I chose was the bad route. They all listened to stories about our cat and all praised how even with her being sick they could she was loved and how she snuggled up to my shoulder while being examined. This was simply the best experience I could have asked for under these circumstances.

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.

This place completely changed my perspective on emergency vet. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, compassionate, and incredibly nice from the front desk, to the techs, nurses and doctors. They have a fully transparent approach to care where owners can be with their pets and witness treatment and procedures. Their plan to diagnose and treat my River was logical without unnecessary tasks that would increase costs. Our surgery to remove a foreign body obstruction was same day, they even offered to refer me to other places if I wanted to go elsewhere. The detailed records, notes, reports provided are on par or better than human healthcare (which is crazy to me). They saved my dog’s life and River is already back to normal just a few days after surgery. Thank you to Dr. Mauro, Dr. DiPaola and team for caring for River.

I walked into VEG ER with my english bulldog practically dead in my arms in a panic. The team here treated my dog (kobe) within seconds on my arrival. The love we felt throughout this entire 24 hours can’t be put into words. From the doctors to the nurses and the entire staff … they treated kobe like he was their very own. Dr Tusa took time to calm us down and explain to us exactly what was happening medically and made it understandable to us!! Eternally grateful that he was there when we came in. A special thank you to Oliver, Rachel, Cecil, Cesar, jasmine, Christine, dr Carl, dr Blake, and many more !! Do not hesitate to bring your dog here 🧡

Honest, compassionate, responsive staff and vets. They took excellent care of my cat Lovebug. He is a very sick senior tabby and they got him through a crisis so he can have some more terrific days at home. Wonderful place for emergencies.

I brought my puppy in after he got into some trouble and I was really worried. The staff was incredibly attentive from the moment we walked in and made me feel so much better. They were very transparent about pricing upfront and even gave me helpful information about pet insurance. What stood out the most was how warm and welcoming everything felt. I truly felt like my puppy was cared for with so much love. They also allowed me to be in the back and involved every step of the way which meant a lot to me. I have never had such a positive experience with an emergency vet. I hope I never have to come back but if I do I will absolutely return to VEG. The staff was amazing and so kind I really cannot express this enough. Thank you so much. 💕🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🐾
