This is hands down the best vet clinic I've been to, with the most amazing staff. I'm so grateful to Jenny and Liz, who gave me so much emotional support when my cat swallowed a foreign object and when he had urinary issues. I'm also grateful to Dr. Archibald, Dr. Havinga, Justin, and Jesse, who were incredibly generous with their time, attention, care, and compassion. I've been to many vet clinics in Washington, Massachusetts, and California, and this is by far the best one. Being at the ER with a pet is never a pleasant experience, but I felt safe and comfortable here the whole time. Their prices are also reasonable compared to other clinics, especially considering how superior the care is. Also, they're not owned by Mars, the corporation that produces M&M's, Snickers, and Twix, and also owns Banfield, BluePearl, VCA, and other chains. I also loved that they had great snacks, and not just for customers. It says a lot that they make sure their own staff are well taken care of too. I'm so grateful a place like this exists.

Our almost 12 year old yorkie had a severe anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine. My husband is a pediatric ICU physician, my daughter is a neonatal RN, and I’m a retired PICU RN. We also co-own a private practice, pediatric urgent care not far from Veg ER. As health care professionals and small business owners, we could not have been more pleased with the way our little Leia and our family were treated. Every member of your practice was so kind and caring- informing and involving us in every step of her care. The snack and beverage station, private family rooms with a pull out bed, pillows, sheets and blankets, were next level care. Thank you for making a very scary and stressful situation as comfortable as possible for all of us. We hope to never need an emergency pet ER again, but if we do, we know exactly where to go.

God forbid you ever need their services, but if you need it, these people are absolutely amazing! They love animals first off, and their customer service is amazing! They’re accommodating and understanding! They made us all feel right at home and completely comforted us in our time of need! Our dog loved all of them, which made getting his treatment so much easier. I am so grateful they were able to see us so fast. Thank you again for your services!
