VEG took amazing care of Bones when he was sick last year. The positive impact that every single professional here has been long lasting and meaningful for my entire family. They were incredibly kind, took the time to keep us informed, and above all, took amazing care of my dog who means the world to us. The teamwork portrayed is amazing to watch, and easy to see in the moment in an open concept ER. They made every effort to say yes to us and I loved that we could stay involved in Bones care. To the amazing team at VEG, your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed. I see your devotion to your craft and dedication to helping as many pets and families as possible. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU all! For taking such amazing care of our special family member in their time of need.

I can’t say enough positive things about the team at VEG Fort Worth. Our mini dachshund was suddenly experiencing a scary allergic reaction, and from the moment we arrived, the staff sprang into action with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was not only stabilized, but brought back to a healthy and comfortable condition. A huge shoutout to our technician, Kelsey, who was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process. She kept us fully informed on every step of the medical treatment plan, explained what was happening in terms we could understand, and constantly checked in on our puppy. What meant the world to us was how she didn’t just provide medical care—she also made sure our puppy felt calm and loved, sneaking in cuddles and affection whenever she could. That kind of compassion made all the difference in such a stressful moment. Dr. Chong was equally amazing. She was incredibly thorough, proactive, and aggressive in her treatment approach to ensure our puppy received the highest level of care possible. Her confidence and expertise immediately put us at ease, and it was clear she was committed to doing everything she could to help our pup recover quickly and safely. The facility itself is modern, clean, and truly top of the line. Everyone we encountered on the team was friendly, warm, and professional. I would fully and wholeheartedly recommend VEG Fort Worth to anyone facing an emergency with their pet. Respectfully, I hope I never have to visit them again—but if the need ever arises, I know without a doubt that we’ll be in the best hands possible.

This was by far the most hospitality I've have received, in any industry, ever. This was the GOLD standard for performance, hospitality, and service. Friday night, just got home from work around 6:30pm.I called with a mild concern of vomiting and blood in stool, Christian assured me that we could be helped right away and sent me an easy to fill out on the way intake/check in form, After taking to christian, he transferred me to the doctor (who allows you to talk to a doctor this quick for free). I showed up with my cat and my 7 year old, the front staff was easy and welcoming, the open concept of the building was awesome encouraging transparency and overall efficient. Dr.Summers helped checked our cat out (within literally 30 seconds of entering the front door). This was just wildly easy. After checking vitals and assuring us the cat is stable, Dr.Summers then proceeded to let my 7 year old use her stethoscope and listen to the cats heart, it wasn't a stunt to impress, it was genuine. they got my family a stool during the ultrasound so they could see and explain the screen, involved us in decisions and prepared us for costs and helped us manage the things we could and couldn't cut out. Great explanations, great service, great facility. all around it was great.
