24 Hour Emergency Vet Hospital and Urgent Pet Care in Littleton, Colorado

Dr. Danielle Debrincat
Medical Director
Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine
After completing her Rotating Small Animal Internship at Georgia Veterinary Specialists, Dr. Debrincat worked at a specialty and emergency veterinary hospital in Westchester, NY. This is where she first learned about VEG. After several years, Dr. Debrincat made the switch to VEG in March 2020 and says, “I could not be happier!” Keeping people and their pets together and having the opportunity to help them through some of their most difficult moments is why she is proud to work at VEG. Outside of work, she enjoys skiing, camping, and hiking with her dog, Wrigley.

VEG is skilled to handle emergency care for avians, reptiles, and all types of exotic pets.
DO I HAVE TO CALL BEFORE COMING IN?
Though you can just walk into any of our 24 hour hospitals, we recommend calling first so we’re familiar with the situation when you come in.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT VEG?
When you take your pet to VEG, you’ll be seen by a veterinarian right away, even before filling out paperwork. We’ll even meet you at your car if you need help bringing in your pet. No waiting in the lobby; you stay with your pet the entire time, even if surgery is involved. And yes, we’re pet lovers, but we’re people-friendly too!
