I came in with my pet rat for a possible respiratory infection, and they were so efficient and put me at ease very quickly! They took us right back because of the symptoms I described and immediately checked all her vitals and got us settled into a private room where my rat was free to roam around until being seen. Dr. Cameron and all staff were so sweet. For an emergency visit and medicine, the pricing was very affordable. And they got my consent for all treatments performed after I reviewed pricing and agreed to it. Chili and want to thank you all for the amazing care 💕

Visited them today because my dog swallowed a big piece of pork bone. None of my previous dogs had ever done anything like this, so I was honestly freaking out. I searched around and decided to go with VEG ER in Anaheim since they had the highest reviews. It was a bit of a drive, but 100% worth it. The staff and doctors were all super friendly, and the clinic was really clean, organized, and had an open layout that made it feel less stressful. Everyone took the time to explain what was going on, and I never felt pressured into anything. One thing I really appreciated was how transparent they were with pricing. After discussing the treatment options, they texted me a rough estimate before moving forward. The emergency exam fee was around $200, and the Maropitant 10 mg/mL injection to make him throw up was about another $200, plus the other medication and treatment fees. My total came out to about $835. They were very upfront about the costs, and they also accept CareCredit if you need it. The injection worked, and my dog threw up a decent amount of the bone, but there were still some pieces left. I decided not to do a second round because the medication can make them pretty drowsy, and I didn’t want to put him through more unless it was absolutely necessary. For now, I’ll just be monitoring him closely and hoping he digests the rest without any issues. Hopefully I never have to come back for another emergency, but if I do, this will definitely be the place I go. Thank you to everyone at VEG for taking such good care of my pup and helping calm an anxious dog mom. 10/10, highly recommend ✨

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.

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.

This place is so empathic and kind. Treated my pup from a scary situation. Their bedside manner is impeccable, their knowledge is fantastic, and their care for my pup was top notch. Yes, they are a little costly as they are an emergency vet, but they saved my best friend's life, so I owe them my most sincere thanks and gratitude. Hope yall stay in business a long long time!

VEG was absolutely amazing and incredibly compassionate during one of the hardest moments I've experienced. My dog had been hit by a car, and I was completely overwhelmed, but the entire team helped me through the process with so much care and kindness. The nurse who cared for us was exceptional. She was comforting, patient, understanding, and incredibly gentle with both my dog and my emotions. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answered every question I had in a way that made me feel informed and supported. I wish I had gotten her name because she truly made such a difficult experience a little easier. I hope I never have another emergency, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to VEG. They have an outstanding team, and I'm so grateful for the compassion and care they showed us when we needed it most. Gilbert and I left with a smile!

Dr Campbell and the vet tech Dre were wonderful in their treatment of my lab Irving’s ingested marijuana. They immediately gave him an injection of an anti nausea med, one liter fluids and did blood tests to be sure organs were ok. I recommend them highly! .

The services we received were truly exceptional and went beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The entire team knew exactly what they were doing and was incredibly supportive, professional, compassionate, and empathetic throughout our experience. Dr. Basit, Jazmine, Crystal, Brittany, and Haley are truly the best of the best! They communicated with us every step of the way, kept us informed, and took the time to explain their processes and everything that was happening with our fur baby. My family and I cannot say THANK YOU enough. The situation we encountered with our fur baby was completely unexpected and extremely emotional, but the team here at VEG ER for Pets provided our family with comfort, reassurance, and genuine compassion when we needed it most. Their sincerity and dedication truly meant the world to us. If your pet is ever experiencing an emergency or any concerning health issues, please don’t hesitate to bring them here. I am 100% confident that this team will take excellent care of your fur baby and will not let you down. Thank you again to the entire VEG ER for Pets team, especially Dr. Basit, Jazmine, Crystal, Brittany, and Haley, for everything you did for our family. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐾

I’m late on writing a review but I also wanted to give an update on my sweet baby Missy! Words can’t describe how grateful I am for this place and the nurses and doctors. My Missy was seen last November for severe subcutaneous emphysema caused by another vet’s negligence. Missy is my soul cat I couldn’t imagine losing her due to something that could have been prevented, she’s my world and my reason I’m here. The nurses and doctors were so compassionate and empathetic they KNEW how important it was to save Missy. They were honest about everything up front and kept me updated all through the night through text or a call. I can’t remember the doctors name that first took Missy that night but I do remember dr shoemaker taking over her care the next morning and he was amazing, his aftercare plan was great and Missy made a full recovery and she’s better than ever. Her new vet who recommended VEG saw her for a check up after her ER visit and said she might have some residual damage from the trachea tear but other than that she’s been so much better. She’s still her very loving self and still so playful with her brother! I will be forever grateful for everyone at VEG for saving my baby girl. Also I was quoted 3k to start treatment for her and they knew money was tight for me but when I came back to get her they were actually able to treat her less than that and was able to put money back into my pocket. They could have lied and took all the money and not helped Missy and said there was nothing they could do but they didn’t. The integrity of this place and commitment of this medical team goes beyond 4 stars! Here’s some recents pictures of Missy! She’s doing great and clean bill of health!

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.

My dog broke her leg somehow and I was able to get her to VEG and they got her in as soon as we walked in the door, started the exam and gave us a very comfortable place to be seen. I feel like they really listened to any and all my concerns and I had a lot. They made me feel like they cared for my dog like she was their own. They even decorated her splint in style!!! They had drinks and snacks for anyone that would like something. It might have taken a bit but I knew I would be leaving no matter how long it took with a very happy, well cared for dog. Very humbling experience and making this a recommended go to place. Prices are very reasonable for emergency care also. I am so happy to have them in the greenbay area.

I cannot imagine going to another ER after experiencing the VEG open concept. I cannot say enough good things and the care they gave my mini dachshund puppy❤️ I brought her here after she ate part of an oatmeal raisin cookie. (Toxic) After vomiting was induced at her regular vet, she was hospitalized at VEG for two days on IV fluids. The doctors and staff were absolutely outstanding. All the Vet Techs are amazing and super sweet. I especially want to thank Chelsea, Vet Tech, She was amazing and took such amazing care of both Siena and me. She constantly checked in on us, made sure we were comfortable, and even set up an area so I could stay overnight and sleep next to Siena. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the animals and loves what she does. ❤️ I spent over 24 hours at VEG during her two-day hospitalization, so I got to see firsthand how the team works behind the scenes. I watched pets come in with emergencies and saw how quickly everyone was on their feet helping them. The vet techs were constantly checking on, caring for, and comforting the animals staying there. Seeing that made me trust and appreciate this place even more. VEG is truly a game changer because you can stay with your pet throughout their hospitalization. And the doctors are all around there in the same room, you can ask a question any time. Being able to stay by Siena’s side was such a blessing. I love this place! 🐾❤️

We were sent to VEG from urgent care for continued overnight care and treatment. My kitty suffered from an acute kidney event and recovered quickly and fully at VEG. I like that the triage area is in the middle of the room when you enter and the kennels are open to the room. Your animal is treated and cared for right in front of you. You can stay with your pet as long and often as you care to. You speak directly with a vet when you call with questions. All the staff are very kind and loving toward the animals. You can tell they definitely care about your babies. My experience was great. The only downside is this level of care comes with a great expense, but they will tell you up front what the cost will be.

I brought my puppy in last month for vomiting blood and diarrhea. After imaging it showed he ate a diaper and needed to have surgery. I was at a lost I could afford to pay for my little puppers surgery and I tried everything to come up with the money and it wasn’t enough. The hospital helped me with the cost to save my pups life. After surgery I called them several times with in those first few days and each time they were patient with me and empathized with me. They treated my baby as their own. I am go grateful for them.

Veg Emergency Animal Hospital was amazing. The service, The Karen staff, the expertise, all went above and beyond my expectation. I was able to stay with my dog, was involved in the decisions, and allowed to sit in the kennel with him while he rested!

I took my senior pittie mix Maple here with what turned out to be horrible pancreatitis. She was hospitalized and I stayed with her all night and they made me up a bed so we would be comfortable together. This was my first time being overnight and I emergency vet and I didn’t know what to expect. Everyone was so kind and stopped to give her lots of love and reassurance no matter how busy they were. I really felt like they cared about her and wanted to get to know her which made all the difference in her care plan I am certain. They also refunded some costs on my bill for things that they didn’t end up needing to do, which I thought was really kind of them. It was obvious that they wanted to make sure that they billed me fairly. VEG is my favorite emergency vet because they employ gentle handling and allow you to stay with your pet the entire time. No secret back area where you’re not sure what they’re doing with your animal, or what kind of care they are getting. I cannot mention everyone who helped us, but Dr Zaremba, Em, Gretchen, Aubrey, we are so grateful. I didn’t catch your name but the person working the desk was so kind and helpful and took a turn hand feeding Maple when she became more interested in playing than eating when she started to feel better. What a talented and kind group of humans. Thank you for saving my little old lady.

June 25, 2026 THANK YOU VETERINARY EMERGENCY GROUP COSTA MESA We were referred to VEG Costa Mesa during a difficult time when we needed an emergency veterinary hospital that would allow us to stay with our beloved Mini Australian Shepherd, Lacey, during her end-of-life care.We arrived about 1:30 a.m. on June 9 and were immediately greeted by Dr. Nikki Smith and her compassionate ER staff. They took the necessary steps to ensure Lacey’s peaceful passing. We were then able to spend as much time as we needed in a quiet room with Lacey wrapped in a blanket in our arms, giving her our final love and goodbyes. Dr. Nikki Smith and the entire staff were incredibly caring, understanding, and compassionate throughout the entire process. We decided to have Lacey privately cremated. VEG handled the arrangements, and a few days later, we returned to the ER facility to receive a beautiful cedar box engraved with her name. They also provided us with a paw print cast in ceramic and enclosed some of her feathers as a keepsake. The entire experience was nothing short of benevolent. We are so grateful that we found VEG Costa Mesa in our time of need. It was the smaller ER for pets that provided us with the compassionate care and personalized experience that we were looking for. We highly recommend them! With heartfelt thanks, Marc & Ann I

Our experience with VEG ER for Pets was exceptional from start and sadly to finish. The entire team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, compassion, and expertise during a very emotionally stressful situation. Every member of the staff treated both us and our sick fur child with genuine kindness, taking the time to explain every step of the evaluation and treatment process thoroughly. The veterinarians and technicians were knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly dedicated to providing the highest level of emergency care. Their communication was excellent, ensuring we understood our pet's condition and treatment options while making us feel supported throughout the entire visit. The facility was clean, well-organized, and welcoming, and it was evident that patient care is their top priority. Knowing our pet was in such capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during a difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided by the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. Their commitment to excellence, compassion, and professionalism truly sets them apart. I highly recommend VEG ER for Pets to anyone in need of 24/7 emergency veterinary care. Thank you for everything you do for our beloved pets and their families.

We traveled from New Jersey to Arizona on July 16th on a road trip bc our dog needed to see the world. She was diagnosed in June with an aggressive brain tumor and we knew she wouldn’t make it to the new year . Unfortunately Saturday morning she had a seizure so we called our vet in New Jersey to recommend somewhere to take her here because we needed someone that had neurological team or able to treat her since this was serious . We found VEG and I couldn’t have asked for a better send off for our Bailey girl! The whole office was absolutely amazing . The second we walked in they grabbed her and immediately started an IV line . Dr Cohen , there are no words for this woman and the compassion she showed ! She treated Bailey as if she always knew her!! The nurses who took care of her were just unbelievable! Oakley , was just so caring , compassionate, patient, loving - no words and lastly Dr Conway , she has 2 frenchies and knew the pain we were feeling! She was so kind and loving ! She did everything she could and gave us the time we needed until we had to say goodbye! Thank you all for truly being amazing and we never would think a vet office would be this amazing . With so much love and gratitude- The Dugan Family

Fast Eddie had 7 seizures Tuesday, including one when we first arrived at AEG. The care was incredible. I can't explain how great the entire Staff was, except they made us feel like he was their dog, while also attending to all the other pets. Such great care!!! I am a real person, and today, Fast Eddie is comfy right at home. Thank you AEG, St. Peters, Mo.
