This is a difficult review for me to write but it’s something I have to write about. Our husky, Indi, was taken to this location on the evening of August 29, 2025 for what we thought was a stomach issue. Unfortunately, we found out that Indi had a cancerous cyst in her stomach that erupted and nothing could be done except make her final moments as comfortable as possible. The staff at this location made Indi and the rest of our family extremely comfortable and many of the staff gave bits of food from their own lunches to give to Indi to enjoy in her final moments. It was very touching during that difficult time. The vet that night even stayed much later past when her shift was supposed to end (I had heard two vet techs talking about when she was supposed to be off) just to be with Indi and my family. I cannot thank the staff enough for their incredible generosity and empathy and support that they showed us during one of the hardest nights of our lives. We still mourn Indi but we could not have asked for a better place in that moment at that late of an hour. The staff was incredibly helpful and caring and we can’t thank them enough. I’m so sorry that we don’t remember any of their names but the staff on duty of August 29-August 30, 2025 were amazing people and I can only imagine the rest of the staff are just as great. We can’t thank you all enough for your gentle kindness.

While VEG can be very pricey, that's pretty standard for emergency care, and I've found them to be largely accommodating. I wanted to specifically thank the kind vets who evaluated my poor kitty Felix, both when he was ill and at the end of his life. Specifically, the vet who helped FeFe pass on was very compassionate and supportive during one of the hardest days of my life. VEG also offered a quiet, dark room for a private goodbye, which meant a lot to me. I recommend them to all my friends with pets.

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion we received at VEG ER for Pets during one of the most difficult moments with my dog, Poet. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was calm, kind, and incredibly supportive. They acted quickly to stabilize him and kept me informed every step of the way in a way that was clear and easy to understand, even while I was overwhelmed and emotional. I especially want to recognize Jasmine, who went above and beyond. I was extremely distraught after learning Poet had been diagnosed with Addison’s disease and could not stop crying. She took the time to comfort me, explain everything thoroughly, and help me regain a sense of calm. Her compassion felt genuine and grounding during a very frightening experience. Every single person we interacted with showed patience, empathy, and professionalism. They didn’t just treat my dog—they supported me as an owner going through something heartbreaking. They truly made me feel cared for like family. I’m deeply grateful for the entire team at VEG ER for Pets. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an emergency with their pet.
