24 Hour Emergency Vet Hospital and Urgent Pet Care in Allen, Texas
Dr. Jeremy Hoge
Medical Director
Arizona State University; Western University of Health Sciences
After earning his DVM in 2009, Dr. Hoge returned to the San Francisco bay area to practice at a busy general practice where he “did it all!” The practice started to do less urgent/ER cases and he started to feel burnt out. He remained a partner until the sale of the practice in 2019. His passion for veterinary medicine was fueled once again when he began relief shifts at the local ER. In 2023, Dr. Hoge was looking for a change and made the switch to VEG for the robust culture and the excitement of ER. Dr. Hoge most enjoys the growth mindset of VEG and believes keeping pets and their parents together is incredibly important.

Our Allen emergency vet hospital is also a blood bank for dogs
VEG Allen is a VEG Blood Bank location, which provides blood for canines. These donations help save the lives of dogs in need of transfusions. The blood we store can be available to a VEG hospital or shared with a local veterinarian. It’s one more way VEG can give back to the community. You can help by signing up your dog to be a blood donor. To find out more, ask one of our VEGgies about the VEG Blood Bank.
