Everyone who cared for Lola across all three shifts was absolutely amazing. This was my first visit to VEG, and I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism, kindness, compassion, and openness to collaboration that I experienced from your entire team. When your beloved pet is hurting and you don’t know why, it is incredibly stressful. Being included in the entire process made me feel much less anxious, and I know that having me there with her helped Lola feel less anxious as well. I truly appreciated being able to stay by her side, understand what was happening, ask questions, and feel like I was part of her care. Thankfully, our outcome was positive, but what made an already emotional experience so special was your Manhattan Beach facility and the incredibly talented and compassionate people who cared for Lola. Please pass along my sincere thanks and gratitude to your entire Manhattan Beach team. Every person we encountered supported, encouraged, and reassured both Lola and me, and I won’t forget it. I sincerely hope I never have a reason to see all of you again! But if life ever throws Lola and me another curveball, I will be at your door without hesitation. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my girl. ❤️ Patti Bishop - and crazy Lola (English Bulldog)

It's super stressful (obviously!) to have to take your pet to the ER. BOTH of ours had to go and the staff, experience and physical conditions at Veg Manhattan Beach were exceptional. From the intake with Lynn to the nurses Adrielle, Christina, and Daphne, I felt 100% comfortable and reassured that they truly had passion and expertise beyond just performing their respective duties. Dr. Hsu was amazing exuding the most calm and personable demeanor and is clearly super-intelligent, professional and thorough in terms of treatment procedures, and how she articulates options. She also has such humility when I suggested that she should have her own podcast because she has such a very charming personality. I've never had such an experience like this in being a pet owner for thirty years. The other remarkable aspect of Veg is the open floor concept where you're able to stay with your pet to help assuage any anxiety and be part of the treatment process, as opposed to just handing off to somebody and worrying. They are super welcoming and transparent in terms of what they're doing. It was very reassuring to know that I could just come in at any point after their overnight admittance to see my doggos or just to call, to find out what was going on. I felt like I had a family member or close friend who was taking care of our pets when they needed life saving measures. Thanks again!

Dr. Lee and the entire team were wonderful during my dog Kane’s emergency visit late Sunday evening. They were compassionate, attentive, and took the time to thoroughly evaluate him and explain all of my options. We even got to see them caring for a baby goat, which really highlighted the dedication and compassion they have for every animal that comes through their doors. Even though I ultimately decided to stabilize Kane and follow up with our regular veterinarian, I truly appreciated the care and support they provided. They went above and beyond to make sure Kane was comfortable and that I felt informed during a very stressful situation. I’m incredibly grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and genuine concern. Thank you, Dr. Lee and the entire team!
