vet hospital

I had to bring my dog Pudding in on the 4th of July for an anal gland that looked like it was about rupture through the skin. Eddy (vet assistant) was quick and very nice helping us get checked in. Our nurse Tony was knowledgeable, gentle and efficient with my dog who was in pain. Dr. Watson was very mindful and gave great after care advice and care during the procedure. I’ve always heard nothing but great things from pet owners about VEG Boynton specifically and fortunately/unfortunately have had excellent care from them with my dog also! Thanks VEG Boynton!

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 🧡

Our little Yorkie got into some poison on a road trip. We first brought him to a very good small animal ER in TX, then drove through the night for further care close to home in Abq. I had not heard of VEG ER but found them in an online search. They had only been open for a few weeks, but already had many positive reviews. We pulled up at shift change on a Sat morning and even with the distractions of changing shifts and other animals coming in, we were treated efficiently and so compassionately. We LOVE the concept of staying with your pet through the whole procedure. Our guy needed blood drawn and at the other office he was taken away for the draw and it very difficult. Because we were able to help hold him and keep him calm at VEG ER, they were able to easily draw the blood that was needed and he was not stressed out. We had to come back for a few more blood draws and each time he walked happily and confidently in to the office. He doesn't even do that at his own vet (whom he loves!). Our experience with VEG ER at a very stressful time for us could not have been any better. We're so grateful that Albuquerque now has this option 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you ever have a pet emergency, don't hesitate just go there. I called ahead and gave them a rundown, our dog was in shock, unknown abdominal problem, not poisoning. Immediately on a table with 4 techs and the Vet, IV fluids, ultrasound, withdrew fluid from his swollen belly to verify it was blood, simple blood test, BP, all with us by his side and constant communication. From meeting us at the door with a gurney to diagnosis was less than 10 minutes. Gave us estimates, choices, no pressure. Gave us a comfortable, private, quiet room to say goodbye. Stay overnight if you need to, take as long as you need, before euthanasia. Tons of treats provided, canned chicken, string cheese, hersey kisses, all the forbidden things. Over the top thorough, efficient, honest, and so compassionate. 🥺❤️‍🩹 (Sampson had a very sudden tumor on his spleen that ruptured and bled profusely. He'd had a recent history of a different cancer. We chose mercy for him over more protracted pain.) 🌈 Thank you to the crew at VEG ER Palm Desert for caring so much! Sincerely, Tori, Brian, and Sampson

My dog Ice was taken to the vet by me where I live in CT where an xray showed a possible mass that needed to be scanned via ultrasound. Ultrasound, technicians were not available in my area and so I drove to my home town of Brooklyn after speaking with this facility and finding out that there was a doctor available to conduct the ultrasound. Dr. Cross did an amazing job with the ultrasound and later sat with me to compassionately but realistically give the next steps. The next day, we were able to have the surgery that she needed. I am very grateful to Doctor Cross for his help and to all of the staff there who took us in immediately.

I had taken a duckling who suffered from trauma over here for an evaluation and whether euthanasia would be the better choice rather than rehabilitation. From the very beginning of contacting this establishment, everyone I spoke to was incredibly kind, patient, and even humorous in the perfect times that made the situation much more tolerable. The doctors took their time examining the duckling I brought in and were very gentle with explaining why euthanasia would be the best, and I was not pressured at all to sign away responsibility/ownership of the duckling until after the examination and a decision on what to do, which I appreciate. Given my situation being a wild life animal, I was able to receive services for free, so I cannot attest to pricing; however, the staff were great.

This place ROCKS!!! I brought my cat 5050 in for a foxtail in her eye and they did the deed. Reasonable fees. I’ve been doing TNR ferals for 30-ish years. I have to say this place is the nicest I’ve ever been to. And a week later her follow up showed she is 100% good to good. Rocket crew at VEG. I’m so glad I’m a VEGetarian~ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Rupert McMuffin gave us quite the scare in the middle of the night, and I’m so grateful we brought him here. He was shaking, lethargic, and could barely walk, and we were obviously terrified. Everyone we interacted with was kind, calm, and reassuring. They took great care of him, explained what they thought was going on without making us feel rushed, and helped make a really scary situation feel much more manageable. Thankfully Rupert is totally fine now, but I’m so appreciative of how well he was treated and how compassionate the team was with us too. The cost was also very reasonable for an emergency vet visit, which was a nice surprise. I hope we never need an emergency vet again 😂, but if we do, I would absolutely come back here. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy!

Lots of emotions this weekend, we basically spent Friday to Sunday onsite. Having said that, our experience was once again phenomenal. We just can’t say enough nice things about the staff and the quality of care at VEG. It’s not our first rodeo there. They saved our Iggy for now. She means the world to us, and it seems she grew on a few on the team there.

I recently took my pet to VEG Emergency Vet Care during an urgent situation, and the experience was excellent. The staff was welcoming and compassionate from the start. The doctor took time to clearly explain everything and showed genuine concern, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. The level of care was outstanding. They even followed up afterward and coordinated with our regular vet. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any pet emergency.

The doctors and staff here are amazing people who truly care about animals. They are literal life savers, doing everything for our sick puppy. They worked with us like no other place would to save our Rex. God bless them, I’m so grateful! Thank you to the doctors & the kind staff that made us comfortable as possible with 3 small kids. They’re the only place that could help us at 2am with minimal fund. Thank you ♥️

Update: More than a week later, he is still doing amazing! He’s back to parkoring with his siblings at 3 am, yelling at us so he can go sunbathe and eating like a horse. THANK YOU AGAIN!! 😭 I cannot put into words how grateful I am for VEG Alpharetta. Last week, our cat Guy Diamond, who is only 2 years old and whom we’ve had since he was about a week old, became extremely sick. What we thought was a stomach issue quickly turned into every pet parent’s worst nightmare. After bloodwork at our regular vet showed he was critical, we were rushed to VEG because they were the only nearby hospital with the medications and level of care he needed. The moment we walked through the doors, they already knew who Guy was. They immediately took him back and started working on him while keeping us informed every step of the way. Within hours, we learned that he had developed a severe kidney infection that had progressed into sepsis. His blood pressure was around 40/20, his kidneys were reaching their limit, and he had virtually no white blood cells. We were told his chances of survival were very low. I was an absolute emotional wreck. What stood out to me wasn’t just the medical care—it was the compassion. The doctor sat on the floor with my 5-year-old daughter and me and walked us through every option with so much patience, honesty, and empathy. They never pressured us. They simply helped us understand what Guy was facing and supported us through impossible decisions. When they told us that euthanasia would be a completely understandable choice given how sick he was, I looked at my daughter and knew I wasn’t ready to give up on him. This cat is her best friend. He’s family. So I gave them my budget and asked them to do everything they could to save him. The team at VEG did something I’ll never forget. They made my daughter and me a bed so we could stay overnight with him. If you ever have the opportunity to stay with your pet during a hospitalization, do it. Throughout that night, I watched these doctors and nurses pour their hearts into every animal that came through those doors. I saw heartbreak. I saw families saying goodbye. I saw pets fighting for their lives. And I saw a veterinary team that never stopped caring, no matter how exhausted they were. It completely changed my perspective on veterinary medicine and why emergency care costs what it does. They do so much more than people realize. I stayed awake with Guy until almost 5 a.m., praying harder than I think I’ve ever prayed in my life. Then the miracle started happening. His blood pressure began improving. His fever started coming down. And then we got the news that made me completely lose it, he was finally making white blood cells again 😭 They even showed them to us on the screen. I cried like a baby. After seeing so many heartbreaking cases come through that hospital, I wanted them to have a win. I wanted my daughter to keep her best buddy. I wanted our little boy to beat the odds. And somehow, he did. He wasn’t out of the woods yet. There was still edema around both kidneys, and we still had a lot to worry about. But every update got a little better. Every hour he fought harder. Less than 24 hours after we were told his chances of survival were slim, Guy came home. Today, just a few days later, he’s eating, drinking, using the litter box, demanding attention, and acting like the same goofy cat we’ve always known. Watching him curled up on the couch again feels like a gift I wasn’t sure we’d get. To every doctor, nurse, technician, and staff member at VEG Alpharetta: thank you. Thank you for treating Guy like he mattered. Thank you for treating us like family. Thank you for your honesty, your compassion, your skill, and your willingness to fight for him when things looked hopeless. Because of you, my kids still has their best friend. And because of you, we still have our Guy Diamond.❤️

When my dog Milo got sick, I was super worried and had to bring him to this emergency vet. When I walked in. I was shocked at how many people were there to help my dog and not only that they were there to help they like actually cared about the dogs in any animal that was coming in. There was so many people that had their hands on Milo within a few minutes of him coming in and All were super helpful. Dr. Ellington was probably the best doctor for Mi He truly loved my dog instantly and was really good at explaining what was going on with him and made me feel safe enough to leave him overnight with them. I could’ve also stayed with him if I wanted to, but I needed to sleep myself so I left him with them and I knew he was in the best care. I’ve never felt so grateful for an emergency that in my life they truly are the best place to go and I hope that if you ever need these services that you would check them out because they were the best that I’ve ever seen every single person there was wonderful and I wish I got all their names but I didn’t. They are fantastic and I highly recommend.

Dr. Buckley was absolutely amazing. She's such a human being. She really cares about animals. Highly recommend this location for any emergency pet needs

Dobby has an inflammation for his foreskin also with little bit bleeding. We were so anxious and worried about him keep licking himself ( already booked the appointment for next morning but still feel need to buy an Elizabeth collar) Thank you Dr. Anderson for helping out! We were in such an anxiety so I kind of lost my ability to organize my language. Every one is super helpful and nice to us, I hope this place goes well and everyone be safe!

I want to give a huge thanks to Dr. Manning, Dr. Riddick, and every staff member who helped when my cat’s health took a sharp turn. I brought my 10 month old kitten to VEG last week when he got sick and our regular vet couldn’t see him, and I’m so so thankful for the compassion and care from everybody who works there. I was able to bring him back within 24 hours for no extra exam fee where the staff determined that he should stay overnight for treatment. They talked me through what procedures they would be doing and presented different payment options as well. I was also allowed to either stay with him overnight or come and visit whenever. They helped me get life-saving medicine through Chewy, and overall I was just so grateful for our experience. The overnight staff even made a cute little name tag for my cat, and made sure he was comfortable through what was surely his scariest experience in life. I’m sitting here now watching him be his crazy self again, when just a week ago he wouldn’t even lift his head to look at me. Thank you VEG for everything!!!

I had a great experience with this pet ER. While I was watching my friend's dog, I needed help administering his insulin, and they stepped in without hesitation. They were knowledgeable, patient, and handled everything with care, which gave me a lot of peace of mind because to be honest I was getting anxious and worried he wasn’t getting enough of his dose. It's clear they genuinely care about animals and know how to work with pets that have special medical needs. I really appreciated their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate veterinarian/ vet ER. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Everything about the care was amazing. The staff cared for her immediately. They explained everything as we went along. They were so patient and understanding, and let me get comfortable that my dog didn’t have viable options. Everyone involved and especially Dr. Bluhm was fantastic. In the end, I brought her home for a short stay, but she was gone within eight hours, so really nothing to be done. I will really miss her.

I had such a great experience bringing my dog, Mister Killer, here for emergency care. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed. We were seen immediately by both a vet tech and the veterinarian, which gave me so much peace of mind during an already stressful situation. One of the things I loved most was the open-concept setup. I’ve been to other veterinary clinics and had never seen anything like it before. I thought it was such a progressive, transparent, and reassuring approach. Being able to see more of what was going on made me feel comfortable and confident that Mister Killer was in good hands. The entire staff was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. They listened to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and treated my little guy with so much compassion. I’m extremely grateful for the care Mister Killer received and for how comfortable the staff made me feel throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend this emergency hospital to anyone looking for compassionate, efficient, and modern veterinary care. Definitely a 5-star experience!

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! :)
