What to do if you find a stray animal in the Phoenix area

If you’re a Good Samaritan who found a stray, the best place to bring them is to your local GP veterinarian, a shelter, or rehabilitation center. If these options are not available, we can scan for a microchip to help you locate an owner. Our mission is helping people and their pets when they need us most, and that includes strays! If the stray you found needs emergency care, we’re here to help. 


Our Phoenix animal hospital is also a blood bank for dogs!  

VEG in Phoenix 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.

Blown away by the service at this emergency vet. I have a very— vet— reactive pitbull mix and the staff was wonderful and accommodating. The doctor was knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. I got to stay with my dog even while she was heavily sedated and they were placing stitches. I will recommend this place to all of my family and friends needing emergency vet care.

This VET emergency location is truly the best. They are so compassionate, timely, collaborative and supportive during a visit. While emergency vet situations are difficult to navigate, they take their time to ensure you understand what is happening with your pet and what the options are so that you can make a true informed decision about your pets care. Sedation for a Frenchie is very difficult and they took so much time and care to make sure he could breathe and handle procedures without issue. I wish these providers and techs were primary care as I would not hesitate to take my sweet puppies to them for their standard care. With three “Bo’s” being cared for at once, there was no time they were confused. Our Bo received so much love and support while we navigated his swollen gland. He is now home and snuggling with his sister. Thank you for all that you do. You’re truly amazing individuals!

My husband and his good buddy and fishing pal Nina were at the park the other day and a scary incident happened. Nina is a 2 year old Chihuahua with an incredibly sweet and loving disposition. Husband turned away for just a moment to speak with the game warden and heard his fishing pole move. He glanced around and Ms Nina had swallowed the treble hook that was surrounded by catfish powerbait. He clipped the line and called me in a frantic state. I looked up Emergency Pet Hospitals. Came upon VEG and decided to go there because it was close. By the time husband reached the clinic, he was hysterically weeping. He felt so guilty even though it wasn't his fault. She's a dog and catfish powerbait probably smells delicious to a dog. At the moment of arrival to the clinic, the staff displayed an amazing level attention and care. Not only for Nina, but for her Daddy too. It's so special there because they allow you to remain with your pet at all times. They x-rayed her and the hook was located in her esophagus. We had 2 choices...surgery or the Great Beyond. The veterinarian was Victoria, she is an angel incarnate. We were so stressed out with the decisions that need to be made. She gave us space, loving encouragement and guided us to the conclusion to at least try and save her with surgery. With steady hands, Victoria pushed the hook into her stomach, being careful not to tear any tissue on the way. She exposed her stomach, made an incision, and got the hook out without further incident. Victoria carefully stitched her up and off to the recovery area. Nina was highly medicated and high AF, so she had no clue what was going on. Britney made up a little area for me so that I could spend the night with Nina next to me. The love never wavered at any point while we were in the clinic for over 12 hours. Not just for us, but for EVERYONE that walked through the door. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone that needs a loving place to take their furry friends.
