I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Beverly and his team! From the moment we walked in the door, we were met with genuine compassion and kindness. Our family was quite distraught over our 5yr Malamute/Shepard mix being in respiratory distress, especially when we found out it was due to spontaneous pneumothorax. He explained everything thoroughly, listened to our concerns, provided us with options, and came up with a treatment plan that worked best for our family. We are so thankful to say that the chosen treatment plan worked, and our sweet girl is back home with us. We will forever be grateful for Dr. Beverly and everyone else that helped care for Dakota ❤️.

I have often found the other emergency vets in the area have staff too undertrained and not equipped to deal with actual procedures. When my cat accidentally swallowed a six inch piece of string at 12:30am Saturday, I debated about calling any of them for an hour. Then I remembered there was a new one I saw on Dorset Street. It was a very long night and they had to try a couple methods, but they were all so calm and pleasant and prepared to actually treat the problem there. Surgery was not necessary but they were ready if it came to that. None of the ‘sorry we can’t do that here you’ll need to wait to see your regular vet in two days’ I’ve gotten from the other places. I was so emotional and drained and dreading the wait for her procedure, but the rooms are equipped with futons! They even have pillows and blankets! I was able to relax and just focus on keeping my cat comfortable. This is a place that understands how exhausting the stress can be and how many people will spend the night unwilling to leave their pets. Their facilities are clean and everything is thought of; I was too upset to eat but I did see they had a variety of snacks and amenities. I’m so glad I made the call and gave VEG a chance. My cat was back to herself and string-free when I got her home. The cost is high but that is simply the nature of an emergency vet and was expected. Luckily we have pet insurance to cover some and they take CareCredit. Really glad VEG is in the area now.

VEG emergency vets was a savior for our elderly dog today . He's 13 and was in such pain all night he could not lie down, he paced and panted. He has arthritis and joint pain . VEG got him on meds to make him comfortable so our son who's had him since the first grade could spend a bit more time with him . I truly didn't expect to bring him home but he's wagging his tail at our son and eating . We know we are going to say good bye soon but not today . We were able to help make decisions. We were giving an option for X-rays but asked if we could just try meds to get him comfortable. They were totally okay with that . They made us feel comfortable and seeing them care for other pets as well was a experience that reassured us we took him to the right place ! This facility is top notch and was so needed in our area. Prices were very reasonable for emergency pet care. Thank you VEG ❤️❤️
