Went there today with our Cavapoo who had just collapsed and they took us right in to check her vitals. The vet Dr Rodriguez was very thorough made sure we called our vet to send VEG MD her dogs records. I was really happy with the open family like atmosphere and all the staff were very attentive to our needs. You can see exactly what care they are providing. This is a 5 star animal hospital and the first place I would take my pet in an emergency on Staten Island .

I do not even know where to begin. This is undoubtedly the place to go if you need emergency or quick assistance which you’re sick animal. From the second you walk in to the second you walk out, you are not forgotten. Attention was given at every single level, from walking in the door to triage to treatment to explanation of what we’re wrong with you animal until the moment you leave. Highly, highly, highly, highly, highly recommend.

My family and I brought my pug Rosie in today and we were met with excellent service. Samantha was the first one over to us and from the very beginning she was AMAZING! She kept us, including Rosie, all calm and laughing and by the end Rosie was ready to go home with her! Dr. Blake was great as well, she took the time to listen to everything we said and explained everything very well. Overall we had a great experience and are very appreciative of Sam and Dr. Blake!

We had to bring our sweet Balinese cat Kai in for consistent vomiting at midnight. We have used 2 other emergency vets in years past here in oklahoma. I can say hands down this was the best emergency vet we have ever used. They were quick, efficient, had wonderful customer service, and genuinely cared for Kai. From the vet to the tech to the triage person-all of them were wonderful! Thankfully he was discharged by 330am after X-rays!

As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted and made to feel comfortable. My little Morkie was vomiting blood most likely from something she shouldn’t have eaten but they immediately checked her vitals and made sure she was ok. They then ran tests and X-rays to make sure all was good. They were very kind and I like that they let you be with your pet the whole time, not like other facilities that make you wait In a room while they take your pet. It’s also open concept there so you can see everything going on, especially how caring and gentle they are with our pets. The waiting room is nice with couches and pet blankets to make them comfortable and there are even snacks and coffee, water for us pet owners. Top notch facility!

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 cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at VEG ER. From the moment we walked through the doors, the level of compassion, professionalism, and efficiency was truly remarkable. First and foremost, the front desk staff was incredibly welcoming. They already knew Skip’s name before we even had a chance to introduce ourselves, which immediately made us feel like we were in the right hands. Within seconds, we were greeted by Brooke, one of the veterinary technicians, who was absolutely phenomenal. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. Our initial triage and vitals took maybe a minute, and Brooke immediately recognized that, given Skip’s medical condition, he needed to be brought into a room. There was no unnecessary waiting or confusion, just quick thinking and exceptional patient care. Within minutes, we were seen by Dr. N, who wasted no time developing a clear, strategic, and well-thought-out treatment plan. Everything was explained thoroughly, and we felt completely confident in the team’s approach to helping Skip. The communication, coordination, and genuine concern for his well-being were outstanding.

This is hands down the best vet clinic I've been to, with the most amazing staff. I'm so grateful to Jenny and Liz, who gave me so much emotional support when my cat swallowed a foreign object and when he had urinary issues. I'm also grateful to Dr. Archibald, Dr. Havinga, Justin, and Jesse, who were incredibly generous with their time, attention, care, and compassion. I've been to many vet clinics in Washington, Massachusetts, and California, and this is by far the best one. Being at the ER with a pet is never a pleasant experience, but I felt safe and comfortable here the whole time. Their prices are also reasonable compared to other clinics, especially considering how superior the care is. Also, they're not owned by Mars, the corporation that produces M&M's, Snickers, and Twix, and also owns Banfield, BluePearl, VCA, and other chains. I also loved that they had great snacks, and not just for customers. It says a lot that they make sure their own staff are well taken care of too. I'm so grateful a place like this exists.

We took our little pitty dog to the ER because she had a laceration right above her eye. We very much appreciated how kind and professional every single vet tech was with us. We loved the open floor plan of the clinic. We loved being able to be part of the process. Vet techs were very competent. We very much appreciated learning that our veterinarian had been trained at one of the best programs in the country. Her suture skills were really good (excellent). Better than we had experience many times in the past with our other dogs. Anesthesia protocol was very good.

Dr. Mortimer and the whole team are exceptional. The manner in which they interacted with both our Goldendoodle and us was nothing short of incredible. The immediate feeling of knowing that we could trust VEG with our girl and leave her while hospitalized, even though we could stay if we chose to, made the experience top notch. Our girl arrived very sick and to be able to have her home in less than 24 hours speaks volumes. The professionalism and patient care provided is not easy to find and the plus is that you could stay with your pet through it all provides a sense of peace, calm and trust that our girl was in excellent hands. Thank you Dr. Mortimer and the rest of Minnie’s care team. You all deserve endless doodle hugs! Love, Minnie and Family

All the ladies were fantastic, Kat, Arissa, Stephane, Kim, Sleepy, Bashful and Dr. Jacobson…I brought my little Yorkie who was pretty sick and they were gentle to my 4lb little guy and even handled me well who was a bit emotional. I appreciate how they went over his panel with me and how kid gloves they were with my little guy. I’m not going to lie, I hope I never have to go back except on Christmas to drop off cheesecake to the fine crew. In all seriousness Thank You all 🙏

Our old boy Squatty lived a long, but hard life. He happily shared his last three years with us with such love and loyalty. Saying goodbye to him was hard, but the kind and caring staff were with us through it all. They involved us in every step taken in Squatty’s comfort and passing. The team at VEG ER are beyond amazing! They truly love their work and truly care for our pet-kiddos. Thank you so much for your help in such a trying time. We left there feeling lifted by compassion and the peacefulness of our boy. 🐕💙 Godspeed, Squatty!

This was our first experience ever needing emergency vet care. I knew we could call ahead and ask if being seen was necessary, and I love that it was an open conversation. I wasn't told "we have to see the dog to answer questions", they truly listened and said which symptoms were concerning and why. When we got there we were immediately greeted by a physician who ensured my dog was not crashing (this was a valid concern based on OG symptoms) and then quickly released and triaged. I was taken to a couch with my dog and offered blankets for myself, drinks, food, anything we needed. Everyone listened to my concerns, shared them, and made sure my dog was healthy and safe to go home. Every care plan option was laid out clearly and with no guilt/shame if cost would constrict our abilities. We got the testing our dog needed quickly and easily while staying by his side which was very important for his mental wellbeing. I greatly appreciate the layout of this office, and the option to be hands on with your pets care, and the option to stay in the open layout or have a quiet room based on your pets needs. I really think being able to see what was going on helped my pet relax and stay calm in a typically very stressful situation. He went from shaking like a leaf to approaching clinic staff for head pats. Needing emergency vet care is always stressful and usually expensive, but at least here I could see not just with my eyes but in how my pet reacted that good medical care is the top priority here. I really sincerely appreciate the care and advice we received with you tonight. If we need emergency care again we know exactly where to go, but lovingly hope we never see you again, lol! ✌️

Brought my 5 year old border collie here recently when I discovered she decided to snack on a pair of underwear! She is a super nervous dog when it comes to vets let alone an ER vet but the team here was absolutely incredible! So welcoming/warm and very calm which totally eased any of my anxiety. I appreciated that they mapped things out for me before doing them making sure I was aware of what was going to be done with my dog and Dr. Emily was so fabulous! Her personality and her focus/care for my dog was so amazing/genuine and i absolutely will be coming back to this location should there ever be another emergency with my girl!

This entire group of people are not just people they are community of compassionate experienced understanding and extremely phenomenal veterinarians, vet technicians, the vet director the receptionist everyone at this location was beyond phenomenal caring and passionate about animals and the people that belong to the animals. The day before I was blessed to meet this team I had taken my beloved esa dog to another emergency vet that was more local to me but only local buy a few more miles. I arrived there at 7:30 p.m. and did not leave until 4:30 a.m. the following morning 32 minutes of that was standing at the desk waiting to be checked out They pushed the upsell and thrived on the devastation that your pet was in distress and you were an emotional turmoil. The previous ER vet pushed diagnostic I understand it's important but they were more concerned about collecting funds for testing then treatment and assistance for the animal and when you didn't have the $12,000 for the surgery they encouraged euthanization they were not very honest. The following day I contacted VEG and I was obviously an emotional distress lack of sleep and devastated that I may lose my best friend my therapist and my family member. (My canine). Dr D'Angelo spoke to me on the phone I was quite impressed that the veterinarian the doctor on duty took the time to promptly speak to me about the symptoms and conditions of my pet. (Their system is not set up as a traditional standard over priced product ) they are more focused on the treatment appreciate the diagnostics however my symptoms were pretty obvious and once I gave her all the information I had from the traumatic experience the night before with the other people they did not just start applying to an estimate and started out with financials they created a plan of action with urgency and compassion and they made it work all of them work together as a community of passionate caring doctors and technicians When my pet and I arrived we were greeted with their receptionist and intake specialist she was amazing offered snacks drinks in the meantime being very patient with taking our information Dr D'Angelo spoke to me she promptly looked at the pet to see the size of the bladder stones in question explained some of the Dynamics and spoke to the director and the whole team and even some they came in on their day off they walked me through the process of the procedure the testing results explained each one of them and the Dynamics and concerns of any elevations that were present in her blood work. I arrived at VEG at approximately 11:30 a.m. by 1:30 2:00ish my dog was being taken back to begin her surgery. Before I left VEG they told me I could call anytime to follow up on progress and if there is anything that was concerning or they had to stop couldn't move forward I would be contacted so after I rested at home for a couple hours I called and spoke to Dr D'Angelo again and she let me know how the whole thing went and that my dog was in recovery. When my dog was picked up there was a clear list of follow-up instructions all her medications and a bag of special dog food for her they even called and spoke to me on the phone asked if I had any concerns and wanted to follow up and see that she was doing okay. Over the course a couple days I had some questions so I would call in the veterinarian duty the actual doctor we get on the phone promptly and answer any questions concerns or suggestions that they may offer beyond reasonable doubt these people are true animal lovers and are very passionate and compassionate about their line of work and have an extreme amount of knowledge.

What a knowledgeable and kind group of people that we experienced. We had a tough situation with our beloved cat and our family appreciated their honesty and expertise more than they probably know. We so love our pets and want to have the most up-to-date and honest information so that we can make, sometimes very difficult, decisions. Please keep up the great work. Highly recommended.

I don't think I could really put into words how much I truly appreciate VEG. I've been to the VEG location in Leesburg 3 times and each time I've been blown away each time. The first experience was a sad one but not because of VEG, our 16 year old cat was having seizures and Dr Reiss and her team were there in a heartbeat. They did absolutely everything they could to save her but unfortunately she didn't make it but their compassion and support through it all was so comforting. My second visit, our sweet 9 week old puppy, Tucker, got puppy strangles - Urgent care couldn't figure out what was wrong with him but within a few minutes of stepping into VEG I felt supported when Dr Anderson and her team made sure that he was triaged immediately and tests were run. She knew immediately what she was looking at and that made me breathe a sigh of relief especially that we caught it in time and it was curable. I felt so comfortable leaving him overnight, I got a call before bed and first thing in the morning, I was able to bring my boy home early the next day and the treatments have made him a brand new dog! He's very happy and healthy! My last visit was a few days ago and it was the most heartwarming and supportive experience of all. My sweet baby cat, Ryder, had to come in due to a fever that started at 104 and then spiked to 106, with no known origin of where it was coming from which terrified me to no end. The support I felt from the staff - Vincient, Sonya, Madison, Lily, Kaitlyn, Kelly, and Aaron just to name a few made me feel like I was with family. I was able to stay the night and they went out of their way to set up a bed for me in the room I was staying in so that I could stay with my boy. They made sure I had snacks and drinks so I was taking care of myself too. Dr O'Brien, Dr Mollano, and Dr Reiss - Thank you for saving him, for working to figure out the best approach, not making me feel crazy for any of my questions or suggestions, just all around making me feel like we were a team and he wasn't just another cat. I feel like thank you isn't enough but I really couldn't fully express how grateful I am for you. There is no one else I'd trust my animals with, VEG is an extremely special place with an extraordinary staff and the best doctors. Thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart.

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 ❤️

My blue heeler received amazing care here. No one wants to go to the emergency vet, but this experience was as painless as it could possibly be. The dr saw our dog within minutes of walking in and communicated a care plan quickly. They provided a quiet room for us because our dog is anxious. The nurses were knowledgeable, efficient, and comforting. My dog was admitted for the night, and they provided EVERYTHING so I could stay with her: bed, phone charger, toothbrush, coffee, snacks… I would never have expected that from an emergency vet. Not only that, but my dog received a very high quality of care, and she is now home and well. I could not be more grateful.

10/10 recommend VEG when your pet is ill. they sit on the floor with you and your pet - it’s a little thing but it makes all the difference when your dog is in crisis. Both of our dogs, honey bear and care bear (one old girl and one pup), received wonderful emergency treatment with this group. They even sent a card to us when our sweet honey bear passed. The vet techs and vets were very communicative, professional and knowledgeable. They were so good with our skeptical little cattle dog. Thank you VEG! Hope we don’t have to see you soon, but we’re happy to know you’re there for us :)

The veg team did an exceptional job! Every time we’ve come here, the service is always over the top! They are all very caring and attentive to not only the dogs needs, but also our needs as well! CEC Zara was very welcoming, nurse Dina was very attentive, and Dr. Conn was very empathetic very good at listening to our concerns at a time where we were nervous and scared. She offered wonderful solutions and she worked with us to help our dog get better! We had to go in two days in a row first time being our dog was in pain and very anxious and Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in, Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an Uneasy. He was not wanting to eat and was getting dehydrated by the day. The second time we went in Dr. Cohen helped us and she also did an amazing job. Thank you so much to you and your incredible team. We are super appreciative to you all! 🙏🏻 something else I love about veg is that they don’t take your pet out of sight. You’re able to see them pretty much at all times while they’re caring for them. If your Pet is experiencing an emergency, I would definitely not even think twice and bring them here to veg for any of their emergency needs!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank the team at VEG ER for Pets enough for the incredible care they gave my dog during such a frightening time. From the moment we walked in, everyone treated us with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Dr. Anghel was outstanding—thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Nurse Samantha was so caring and attentive, making both my dog and me feel comfortable. Cat, the assistant, was gentle and compassionate, and Brittany made the entire process smooth and welcoming. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make sure my dog received the best possible care. They truly treated her as if she were their own. During a stressful emergency, they gave us peace of mind, and I will always be grateful for their dedication and kindness. Thank you, Dr. Anghel, Samantha, Cat, and Brittany, for your exceptional care. I highly recommend VEG ER for Pets to anyone who wants a team that genuinely cares about both pets and their families.

We had to bring our cat here for an emergency, and I’m so grateful we did. The staff was incredibly friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to our concerns and were very understanding of our budget and what we were comfortable with. I never felt pressured into unnecessary tests or treatments, which meant so much during an already stressful situation. You can truly tell they care about the animals and their owners. If you ever find yourself needing emergency veterinary care, I highly recommend this clinic. Your pets are in good hands here!

I can’t recommend these guys enough. Ive unfortunately been twice now (my dog is a menace, but we love her!) The first time we were treated by Dr. Lingen & Paige as our RN. My dog got a bone stuck around her jaw, lesson learned for me, we are now a no bone house. The second time my dog started limping- turned out it was her patella. At this time we were treated by Dr. Patel & Angie as our RN. Tatiana gave excellent customer service running around to everyone checking in offering my dog toys & the families waiting snacks/drinks. When we came the second time Paige was there again & she had remembered us from the time before. (Not a big deal, but was nice.) Both times we were in and out fairly quickly. The staff was beyond compassionate and thorough. Neither of these times were life or death but they were able to help. I do want to say I was impressed to see a facility with such a great team. Not just for us but for everyone being treated and amongst the staff. The second time there happened to be a dog aggressive dog being treated and another dog/people aggressive dog. They did everything to respect those dogs needs & the safety of others. Also they offer payment plans, which is wonderful. I highly recommend.

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!

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 drove over an hour to receive care for my basset hounds digestive issue to prevent a blockage. I called before making the drive, I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Teal. Her expertise, professionalism, and clear plan gave me optimism. Her calm, soothing voice, was the cherry on top! Upon arrival, you’re greeted by a friendly receptionist, the facility is large and clean. Annett took great care of my boy. She was patient, gentle and confident in what she does. Dr. Carter and all staff don’t waste your time or money here. They know time is of the essence, I’m thankful I found this facility. Thank you VEG ER for everything!

Yesterday could’ve been a nightmare but this place was truly amazing. My dog got into a prescription pill bottle and shared some with my cat. Dr. Hanlon helped clear their systems and monitor them until it was safe to go home. They gave me a private room with my cat & dog together so I could be with them both for the full 8 hours as they each got treatment, not having to sit in a waiting room desperate for updates. I even had DoorDash deliver dinner to the front desk and they brought it back to me. They gave us a litter box, water bowl, and multiple large blankets. The ability to be with both my dog and cat at the same time was worth every penny (and it was a lot of pennies).

Dr. Fahey and the entire team here at VEG in Palo Alto were absolutely fantastic! My dog inhaled a foxtail and they immediately took action and resolved the issue! We are so grateful for their professionalism and care. Every person we interacted with on their large team showed us kindness in a stressful situation and helped answer all my questions. We were in and out in less than an hour and a half and the price was so reasonable for the level of care he received. Highly recommend this group.

After taking our pug to two different emergency animal clinics to treat his bladder stones, we almost gave up on getting our boy the treatment he needed. We called VEG and they connected us straight to the surgeon and we had him there in less than 30 mins. He was taken back immediately and they started to work on our boy. I’m so grateful for the courteous staff and amazing doctor who did his surgery. We were charged 2k by one clinic and 8k by another and neither had a surgeon on staff as they said they did. We are so lucky to have found VEG, would highly recommend. Their prices are super affordable and their staff is incredible !

I cannot thank the team at VEG Hoboken enough for everything they did for my family and our three little dogs during one of the most terrifying moments of our lives. After our dogs were involved in a fire, we were panicked and didn’t know what to do. We called VEG, and without hesitation they told us, “Bring them in immediately. Don’t worry about the money right now—we’ll work with you. Our priority is your babies.” Those words meant more than they will ever know. In one of the worst moments of our lives, they immediately put our minds at ease and focused on what mattered most: saving and caring for our dogs. From the moment we walked through the doors, every single person treated us with such kindness, compassion, and patience. They didn’t just care for our dogs—they cared for us as a family. A huge thank you to Dr. Singler, whose compassion, professionalism, and calm demeanor helped us through such a traumatic experience. We knew our babies were in the best hands. Thank you to Carla and Cheryl, who were so gentle, reassuring, and attentive throughout the entire process. Their kindness helped calm both our dogs and our nerves. Thank you to Rachel, who was so caring and compassionate, making us feel supported every step of the way. And thank you to Liz, Christina, and Britt for going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and never felt alone. Every interaction with this team was filled with genuine empathy and kindness. We were actually referred to this VEG location by a family member whose own dog was saved here, and after experiencing this level of care firsthand, I completely understand why they recommended them so highly. You can tell this isn’t just a job for the staff at VEG Hoboken—they truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were their own. They never made us feel judged, rushed, or like we were just another client. We felt heard, supported, and cared for from beginning to end. I will forever be grateful to every single person who helped our dogs today. If you ever find yourself needing emergency veterinary care, I cannot recommend VEG Hoboken enough. They gave us hope when we desperately needed it, and for that, we will always be thankful. Love, Luna, Skye, and Raine 🐾

I brought my dog in on one of the scariest days of our life. The staff treated him with the utmost compassion and care. They truly treated him like he was the most important dog in the world (because, of course, he is). I hope I never need an emergency vet again, but if I do, I’m so glad VEG will be there to help my pet. Dr. Lee was so knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He made sure we understood exactly what was happening and had a calming presence that let us know our Toast was in the best possible hands. The veterinary assistant was so compassionate as well. She made it clear that our dog was her only priority and her sole focus during that time was keeping him comfortable. After discharge, we thought of even more questions and called back in. Dr. Lee himself got right on the phone and once again took the time to answer all of our questions. Finally, we knew an emergency vet would be expensive. They were totally honest and transparent up front about what the cost would be and any alternatives to treatment that might have been available should cost be an issue. The total bill was less than I expected walking in and I appreciated the honesty regarding financial obligations. I would rate 10 stars if I could.

Here’s a Google review you could post: ★★★★★ We had to make one of the hardest decisions a pet owner can make today and say goodbye to our sweet little hamster. I wasn’t sure what to expect walking into VEG ER for Pets in Alpharetta, but from the moment we arrived, every single person we encountered treated us with incredible compassion, kindness, and respect. They never made us feel rushed. They answered every question with patience and gave my daughter and me all the time we needed to say goodbye. Even though our pet was tiny, they treated her life as though it mattered just as much as any other animal that came through their doors. We never felt like just another case or another bill. Before we left, they gave us a clipping of her fur and the tiniest paw prints they’ve ever made. Those keepsakes mean more to us than I can put into words and will be something we treasure forever. Losing a pet is heartbreaking, but VEG made an incredibly painful day just a little more bearable. We are grateful for the empathy, dignity, and genuine humanity they showed our family. Thank you for reminding us that the size of a life has nothing to do with the size of the love it leaves behind.

I'd definitely recommend them. My husky does do well at vets, so they allow you to stay with your fur baby the entire time, they have an open layout where staff comes to you so you aren’t stuck in a room. They were extremely gentle with him and me… and I know we both felt more relaxed!! You can tell they love their job and are dedicated to taking care of your pet.

Mel, Elly, and Marianne were world-class. Such an incredible, caring, and personable team. This is hands down the best vet service I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was completely locked in and genuinely cared about my cat. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. They were super responsive, compassionate, and always one step ahead. I truly appreciate their care and heart. By the end, they felt like they were my cousins lol. If every vet operated like this, the world would be a better place.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG Dallas. My dog, Gertie, was transferred to VEG after being diagnosed with IMHA at DUAC, and what was an incredibly scary and emotional time was made so much easier by the kindness and compassion of their entire team. Gertie needed to be hospitalized overnight, and Kody went above and beyond by setting me up in a room with a cot so I could sleep there with her. Being able to stay by her side the entire time brought me so much comfort, and I know it brought Gertie comfort too. I will never forget that kindness. Every single person we encountered cared for her so genuinely…from the CSR who helped me carry Gertie into the clinic, to the veterinary technicians, to the doctors overseeing her care. Everyone was gentle, compassionate, and so sweet to her. I never felt like she was just another patient. When Gertie ultimately needed specialty care, they helped facilitate her transfer to VCA and made sure she was getting the next level of care she needed. Having a critically ill pet is terrifying, but VEG made us feel cared for every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire team for taking such wonderful care of my girl…and for taking care of me, too. 💗

Absolutely outstanding service from VEG pleasant hill that words alone cannot describe. Unfortunately our cat ate a hair tie and needed induced vomitting immediately. Upon arrival the team here was extremely quick to assess Kylans situation and take care of him as fast as possible. Even with other situations going on at the time Kylan received the best care possible and the vets were able to get the hair tie out. Because of the situation we were unfortunate enough to not catch the names of the vets that assisted us but they provided us excellent service and went above and beyond to reassure us of the situations and provide a layout of what procedures will/might need to be done. We felt extremely blessed walking out tonight and are extremely grateful for each and everyone of the vets at VEG Pleasant hill. Thank you so much for helping save our kitty!

On the 25th on July I came home in the evening to find my baby girl Grisha having a seizure on the bed. VEG ER was one of the only places opened so we rushed her there. They triaged her very quickly and took very good care of my baby. Unfortunately my Grisha could not be saved and we had to make the difficult decision to put her down. The compassion and empathy shown by everyone there was appreciated during this hard time. Before a room was available for us to say our goodbyes they put up partitions to give us a semblance of privacy. When a room opened They gave me plenty of time to say goodbye in a private room. I got to hold her through the whole thing. After she passed we were allowed as much time as we wanted to sit with her. Last week I received her paw print and some hair in the mail along with a personalized card with notes from the staff. While I wish I never had to take her there I appreciate the compassion and care they showed my baby girl and us.

Everyone here is sooo kind and helpful and they made us feel more at ease about our sick kitten! We were helped immediately upon arrival and put into a comfy room. Dr. Hahn and all of the technicians were so friendly and knowledgeable and we loved being able to be with our kitten during most of the treatment. They communicated with us in detail throughout the process. Thank you guys for helping him! He is doing so much better after just one night!

VEG did an amazing job saving our boy. He was in boarding while we were out of state and his stomach flipped causing bloating. Our boarding facility got him right over to VEG. They took an x-ray and confirmed. The doctor called me and told me everything she had to do to operate and fix his stomach. They sent us a quote and we paid it online. They performed emergency surgery and took care of him over night until we got back to Michigan. They kept us informed the whole time and sent text messages with updates. When the cost was lower than the quoted amount they also refunded us $700. I couldn’t be more thankful they have a facility close to our boarding facility. A flipped stomach if not caught in time can be fatal to a dog and we are so grateful our fur baby Otis is doing well. Thank you VEG doctors and nurses!

I would highly recommend using veg er before any other place around. They were super efficient, caring and just amazing. They do not just try to raise your bill for unnecessary work like some vets we have been to in the past. They actually care about your animal. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor were amazing and I’d like to thank them for taking such good care Jack for us, from the time we walked in with him until we left. They gave us the time we needed to spend with him before his final moments and it is all appreciated. We had Veronica, Amanda, Jennifer.and Mei to name a few. Thank you all again.
