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!

I was so beyond pleased with the care Wally received after testing positive for Parvo last week. While I was thrilled to learn that I could visit him at any time, even in the middle of the night, I felt beyond comfortable leaving him in your care for the two nights he spent there. I so appreciated the constant transparency about treatment options, costs, and frequent updates about how Wally was doing when I wasn’t able to be there. We were blown away by the amazing care he received! He absolutely LOVED his nurse Melissa, who took particularly amazing care of him (although the whole staff was incredible). I will absolutely be recommending VEG to all my friends with pets!

I truly could not recommend VEG ER more. I spent all morning either on the phone or sitting in waiting rooms at other emergency vets, only to be told there would be at least a three-hour wait. I think any pet parent can understand that feeling of desperation when something is wrong and you know things can go downhill so quickly. VEG was my last call, and from the moment they answered, they asked what was going on and immediately told me to head their way and call as soon as I got to the parking lot. They took such amazing care of our girl, Sif. I also really appreciated how transparent they were with pricing. They gave us an itemized receipt and even refunded us for a test we ended up not needing. They sent us home with a detailed recovery plan, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most of all, I want to recognize the kindness we were shown. After feeling like some other emergency vets in the area were dismissive or even a little rude, VEG was the complete opposite. Every employee we interacted with was so sweet, and you could genuinely tell they loved what they do. Even nurses and doctors who weren’t directly caring for Sif still stopped to give her pets and attention. Hopefully we never need an emergency vet again, but if we ever do, there is no question that we will be going back to VEG.

I had a really good experience here with my cat, Beau. As a college student on a budget, I really appreciated how understanding they were and how they helped get him the treatment he needed at a price I could afford. They were kind, patient, and never made me feel judged, even when I was second-guessing myself and worried about Beau. They were very gentle with him, and multiple staff members came in throughout the visit just to check on him and love on him. You could tell he already felt better just from all the love and attention he was getting. I’m so thankful for the care they gave Beau and how supported they made me feel during a stressful time. A special thank you to the nurse with the blonde curly hair and the male doctor, they were both wonderful.
