I cannot say enough amazing things about the team at VEG in Larkspur. At 3am, after calling multiple emergency vets throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area and being told there were no surgeons available, VEG stepped in and saved my dog’s life. Finn was in an extremely scary situation, and from the second we walked through the doors, the entire team treated him like their own. Dr. Donner and her surgical team were incredible — calm, confident, compassionate, and transparent through every step of an emergency surgery. After surgery, Dr. Walker and her team provided outstanding post-op care and monitoring. They kept me constantly updated, answered every question with patience and empathy, and made one of the most stressful nights of my life feel manageable. You can truly tell that every single person there deeply cares about both the animals and the families attached to them. Thank you, Dr. Donner, Dr. Walker, and the entire VEG staff for everything you did for Finn. We will never forget it.

Exceptional care for my 20 year old very sick cat. They were so attentive and comforting during the whole process of saying goodbye. They have a sensory sensitive room with dim lights and white noise. Shout-out to the team that was there Sunday June 14th late evening. If I could give 10 stars I would. I even got a tuft of my baby's fur in an adorable keepsake.

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!

I cannot thank the team at VEG Schaumburg enough for the incredible care they gave my dog Remy. From the moment we arrived everyone was so kind and welcoming. They treated both my dog and I with genuine care. After Remy’s surgery they allowed me to stay overnight with her so I could be by her side. They are open 24 hours, which is very convenient. The room set up for family’s including a sofa bed is very considerate. My Son was able to visit w us as well. I wish I remembered all of the team members names who constantly checked on us and answered all of our questions and made sure Remy was comfortable and safe. Dr. Chernock is genuinely compassionate. He had a lot of patience for me at such a stressful time. Dr. Carney performed surgery, she is a Rock 💫 Star. Dr. Chernock and Dr. Carney complement each other very well. Dr. Carson the anesthesiologist is hands down the best, effortlessly winsome. Shout out to Alexis, Shannon, Christel, and the rest of the amazing staff. I am beyond grateful. They went above and beyond. Thank you.

Everyone was excellent! Dr Juan was very knowledgeable and honest, and he collaborated with me to make sure that I was updated with what was going on and that I got everything done that I wanted to for my pet. The receptionist was super kind and attentive in making sure we were comfortable, checking in with us and bringing us snacks and drinks while we waited. All the nurses that worked with my pet were very empathetic and gentle with her to make sure that she was comfortable and getting the best care possible. I didn't have to wait at all to be brought back to the treatment area - they got started on her right away. My pet is a cat so we waited with her in an enclosed room to the side of the treatment area where she was more comfortable away from the dogs and able to walk about the room freely. We could still see through the blinds though what was going on in the hospital with the other pets that were there being helped and were given the opportunity to come to the treatment area to watch her being cared for.

Thank you so much to this clinic for taking care of my pup after she got into my pill case and ingested my meds that are toxic for dogs. They were sweet, swift, informative and just all around amazing. They were in quick communication with ASPCA poison control. For an emergency vet they are also affordable. They even provided our girl some parting gifts. So glad I chose this facility. They are a well oiled machine and care for the animals and owners. Everyone here deserves a raise for their work. There was everything from distressed heartbroken owners to slight issues that they dealt with each situation kindness, compassion, reassurance and advocacy. Dr. Rogers was a dream. So helpful in explaining the clinical stuff to a layman and reassuring us as pet parents. We were there for a messy situation involving inducing vomiting. Everyone was so kind in making sure she was comfortable. Everyone deserves a raise stat!!!! Shout out to the real heroes the nurses, techs, nurse practitioners who guided the messy process with a large breed. I was stressed so miss their names but they are included in the raise requests.

Yep, emergency care is expensive and time consuming… but if you’re going to spend the money, this is a great place to do it! We were waiting on a bench overnight, which was fine. The center is a giant open room! The operating room has a big window so you can see inside and many of their procedure tables are right in the middle of the room where you can see everything that’s happening to your pet. I loved it! Transparency is important to them! Being with my pet through everything is important to me! We ended up being admitted and they let me stay in the kennel with him and eventually got us into a room with a fold out bed where we could both rest. Being with him helped him relax and rest. The providers are very kind, accommodating, and there are free snacks, coffee and water. It’s a little thing but when you’ve been awake for more than 24 hours, it means a lot! Definitely recommend highly!

I cannot say enough good things about VEG ER and the incredible team who cared for my 7 year old German Shepherd. At 5:30 a.m., I brought him in under the impression he had ingested insecticide. As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted and no time was wasted before they started evaluation. They quickly determined that X-rays were needed and, within minutes, identified life-threatening GDV.. his stomach literally flipped 360°. The team recognized the emergency immediately on the X-ray and wasted no time taking action. Thanks to their rapid diagnosis, and sense of urgency, he was in and out of surgery within hours, and their quick intervention undoubtedly saved his life. The facility was exceptionally clean, the equipment was modern and the level of 24/7 care and attention he received was truly unmatched. I am especially grateful to Dr. Lee, who stayed beyond her shift to perform the surgery, along with nurses Anthony and Mitch, who provided outstanding care. The follow-up care was equally impressive. Dr. Casali, Dr. Nair, Hannah, and Brittany were compassionate, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. They treated my dog as if he were their own and gave me peace of mind during probably the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. It’s been just over three weeks since his surgery, and while his shaved legs still make it look like he’s wearing little ankle boots, his incision has healed beautifully. You’d never know he underwent major emergency surgery, and he’s back to being the happy, energetic boy I know and love. I will be forever grateful to this incredible team and highly recommend them to anyone in need of emergency veterinary care.

We brought our beloved cat, Miso, to VEG after she was transferred from another veterinary clinic for severe respiratory distress. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the entire team was ready for her. They immediately began treatment, performed diagnostics, and moved with a level of urgency and coordination that gave us confidence during one of the most terrifying nights of our lives. Sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, we lost Miso that night due to severe heart failure. While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful to Dr. Mirna Topic and every staff member who cared for Miso and supported us through an unimaginable situation. One thing that stood out was Dr. Topic’s extraordinary compassion and communication. When we were suddenly faced with life-and-death decisions, we were overwhelmed, scared, and struggling to understand a very complex medical situation. Despite how busy she was, Dr. Topic took the time to patiently explain Miso’s condition, the available treatment options, and the pros and cons of each path forward. She used simple, understandable language and made sure we felt informed rather than pressured. That kindness and patience meant more to us than we can adequately express. Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly gentle, compassionate, and thoughtful. It never felt like they were simply treating a patient. They were caring for Miso as an individual and supporting us as a family. I also want to highlight something unique about VEG’s design and philosophy of care. The open-floor treatment area allows you to see exactly what is happening with your pet. You can stay nearby, witness the care they are receiving, and be present during some of their most difficult moments. As heartbreaking as our experience was, there was something deeply comforting about knowing that nothing was happening behind closed doors. We could see how Miso was being treated, what procedures were being performed, and how much compassion the team showed her every step of the way. VEG also provides private comfort rooms where families can spend as much time as they need saying goodbye in a calm, peaceful, and private environment. During one of the hardest moments of our lives, that space gave us the opportunity to properly say goodbye to Miso with dignity and love. They also offer professional aftercare services and guidance, helping families navigate the difficult decisions that come after loss. Another thing we greatly appreciated was their transparency. Before treatments were performed, we received clear estimates and explanations of costs associated with different treatment options. There were no surprises, no pressure, and no hidden fees. In fact, our final bill ended up being noticeably lower than the original estimate and much more reasonable than we expected for emergency and critical care. I sincerely hope we never find ourselves in an emergency like this again. But if we do, I would not hesitate for a second to bring my pet here. I know they would receive the highest level of medical care, compassion, honesty, and respect. To Dr. Mirna Topic and the entire team: thank you for everything you did for Miso. Knowing that she spent her final hours surrounded by people who genuinely cared for her brings us immense comfort. You are truly angels.

Amazing Vet and team!! My White English Golden Bella and I were out on Honeymoon Beach and she was struck and bit by a rattlesnake. I was overwhelmed with fear and a total wreck when we arrived. The wonderful team met me at my car, helped every step of the way, put their arms around me to comfort me and were so gentle with Bella and loving. They treated her like one of their own. I’ve never been to a Vet like this in my life and they will always hold a place in my heart. They even set my dog and I up in a private room so I could sleep next to her while she was receiving her anti-venom treatment and fluids. They gave us blankets, bottled water, pillows and coffee in the morning. What a beautiful team and crew… unforgettable. Bella is doing just fine and home with me now to recoup with all her stuffies and a bone. THANK YOU to the entire crew!!!

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!

The most transparent veterinary care experience I have had (in WA, CA, or MI)! The facility has comfortable spaces for pets and people. The team kept me informed and invited me to be as hands-on as I wanted to be (with the exception of in the X-ray and operating rooms, but these had windows so I could see everything I cared to look at). The team was compassionate, competent, and genuinely cared about my dog Fezzik and trying to get the best outcome. Dr. Cat was more than thorough (and had a banger of a playlist for operating) in the effort to get all the answers and find solutions for my pup. Additionally, the estimate that I accepted and paid was slightly higher than the actual costs, and my credit card was refunded the difference the very next day.

We are visiting for the week and our dog woke up very lethargic. We knew she needed to be seen by a vet. We searched for a 24/7 vet and came across VEG ER in Costa Mesa. Dr. Kong and her staff are AMAZING! Our little gal was feeling so much better when we went to pick her up. Their facility is great! It’s clean and welcoming. They walk you through everything that they’re going to do and the process is seamless. All her medical updates were sent to our vet back home and we didn’t need to hesitate to return if our little gal displayed any setbacks. I highly recommend VEG ER. We visit often so we now have them on speed dial, literally. Thank you VEG ER. You are amazing!

We walked in and were assigned a room to get assessed right away. The intake desk and nurses did a check up on our pet bunny who had an upset stomach. The doctor nurses and staff were attentive to Louie, and explained every bit of the process with us. We were there for a few hours, but that's what to expect from any ER. They had water and some snack for us while we waited for his X-rays and diagnostics to come back. We are grateful for the attentiveness of the doctor and her entire staff for our bunny's recover from his belly. I can't thank you enough for his care. If you have a pet .. this is the ER to go to.

I had a great experience here with my cat, Sherman. We were greeted immediately and brought to a room to ensure my Sherman felt comfortable. Juan was seriously the best! So friendly and helpful. You could tell he genuinely cared for Sherman and was looking out for his best interest. Mady F. was also a big help in assisting with Sherman's bloodwork and shots. Dr. White really made sure he was advocating for Sherman and what was actually best for him vs. jumping into the most expensive or extreme treatment method. It was a fairly quick visit for an ER trip less than 2 hours (maybe even closer to 1). The location was clean, all staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone in need of an emergency visit with a pet. - Kristen L.

I am incredibly grateful to the team at Emergency Vet Group for the compassion, professionalism, and urgency they showed when my service dog, Jeremy, was brought to their clinic after a tragic accident. On May 7, 2026, Jeremy was struck by a vehicle. My boyfriend and I rushed him to the clinic, hoping they could save him. As soon as we arrived, approximately seven or eight veterinary staff members immediately rushed to Jeremy's aid. Their quick response and dedication were evident from the moment we walked through the door. Despite their best efforts, Jeremy's injuries were too severe, and he sadly passed away. I know the veterinary team did everything they could to save my baby, and I will always be thankful for the care they provided during his final moments. Jeremy was more than a pet—he was my service animal, my companion, and a huge part of my life. Losing him has been devastating. Throughout the entire experience, the staff treated him with dignity and respect and showed me genuine compassion during one of the hardest days of my life. I cannot thank the doctors, technicians, and staff enough for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. While the outcome was not what I had hoped for, I take comfort in knowing that Jeremy was surrounded by people who cared and who fought to help him. Thank you, Emergency Vet Group, for everything you did for Jeremy and for the compassion you showed me when I needed it most. I will always be grateful. ❤️🐾

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. I’ve been raving about them every day to people. On Friday 5/15 my cat was showing obvious discomfort with signs of a urinary issue. Our primary wouldn’t be open long enough to do a procedure and recommended we go to Veg in Allen. We live in Wylie, but after speaking to them on the phone (extremely kind and informative) I decided to go to them. I’ve never seen an open concept vet before, it was interesting- I don’t mind either way as long as orange boys healthy. LET ME TELL YOU - they were so sweet, every single nurse and doctor, to my child and myself on top of our cat. We were there during a busy time of day, so waiting was to be expected and they were so accommodating and offered us some snacks to munch on while waiting for availability to do the procedure. I watched parts of the procedure for my cats urinary block, got to ask questions, learn, I actually had a good time. Didn’t expect that! Of course, a 2 day hospitalization would be best for my cats needs but I couldn’t afford it. They went over the feasible options for me and were sure to tell me the benefits of each thing on the list and risks of taking him home but were doing their best to ensure he would be as healthy as possible. They took their time during the procedure, other nurses came up and offered to assist or just watch. You can tell they love to be there. I cannot say enough good words about them. He is doing well 5 days later🧡 thank you!!

First time here and we will 100% be coming back for any future emergencies with our dog (hopefully not too many times lol). Our girl was taken care of from the second we walked in to the minute she left. We were able to be there with her the whole time, and all the staff were such a joy. Grateful it wasn’t life threatening—even then they still treated her with priority and made us feel heard. Thank you to the team! She says thank you as she’s currently on her pain meds lol

I had really bad experiences at emergency vets before where I felt ignored for hours while my pup was in pain, so I was honestly scared to bring my little Bobbie in. But Dr. Julie Jones and her team made my experience completely different. They made sure Bobbie got the help he needed right away, and they took the time to answer all of my questions while I was stressed and worried. Everyone was so patient and kind with him, even when he was moving around a lot, and they never lost their cool. Bobbie is doing so much better now, and I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who helped take care of my baby. ❤️

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 🙏
