This was my first time ever having to take my rabbit in for an emergency visit so my anxiety was at an all time high, but the staff at VEG made me feel so at peace from the moment I walked in. They kept me updated on everything as it was going on and were so kind and gentle with my Tjay. Given it is an emergency clinic and other more critical patients were coming in that required immediate attention they were still very attentive to us and made sure we were receiving all the help we needed. I could not have had a better first experience, in the nicest way possible I hope I never have to go back, but I can at least rest assured knowing I have somewhere trustworthy I can turn to in my time of need. I unfortunately didn't get the names of the nurses who helped Dr. Bhattari look after Tjay. But if you're reading this and know who you are, thank you so so much for all your help from the bottom of my heart. You all made me so at peace when my mind was racing a thousand miles a minute. You all truly are doing the lord's work.

We were at VEG on May 3rd with a rescue cat from our Terminal Island cat project when a Good Samaritan walked in with a severely injured, paralyzed kitten. If it weren’t for Dr. Rue, Sandra, and the incredible team that night, she likely would have been euthanized later at the shelter. Instead, they showed extraordinary patience, supported us through the chaos, and gave her a fighting chance. The rescue we work with allowed us to take her in and we officially foster-failed her. While updated imaging later confirmed permanent paralysis from severe L2–L4 spinal trauma,DPS negative, Wilma is living an incredible life. Learning to express an incontinent kitten was terrifying at first, but now it’s second nature. Today, Wilma zooms around the apartment, climbs furniture, rides in her stroller, and is completely adored by our resident cats. VEG gave our little girl the chance to prove that a disability doesn't define an animal. Thank you, Dr. Rue, Sandra, and the whole team, for saving Wilma's life!

I wish this animal emergency was open before my other dog passed away. You are able to stay with your pet throughout much of the time. Everything is open and transparent and the staff is very empathetic towards all concerns. All questions answered. The prices are not on the low end but I do not believe i was overcharged, as this is a 24 hour emergency hospital. What a great peace of mind to know there is this kind of care day or night for our animals. Everything is comfortable and yiu can stay with your pet the whole time! Tbe restroom is very clean! Hopefully it stays like that! They have snacks and beverages for the humans. We never want to have to have these visits but just know they are there for our animal babies! Five stars all the way!!
