If I could have put 10 stars I would. From the shift on Wednesday night 07/08/26 and spending the whole day at VEG with my cat Roscoe on Thursday 07/09/26 when he had to get surgery, to lastly his recovery on Friday 07/10/26. Everyone treated Roscoe and I like family and Dr. Beshir was very informative as well as skillful to identify the issue and get it taken care of quickly. Dr. Beshir’s team was very helpful in supporting as well especially I believe her name was Holly, she helped Roscoe during the surgery to get him stable. The whole recovery team post surgery, the night of and the day after were tremendous, they cared for him like he was their cat, even though he was very spicy. The pricing was also something that Dr. Beshir was able to work with me on getting it a little lower, as it was a little expensive but worth it in the end. My wife and I cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness and support to help save Roscoe’s life. We are truly grateful.

VEG ER was amazing in helping me when I brought in 5 two day old kittens, one of which needed surgery—an amputation. Dr. Sullivan, Theresa, and Trey were the dream team, expertly navigating this surgery on such a tiny, two day old kitten body. We’re calling him Hercules, and he and his sibling are thriving because of their quick, quality care! Thank you so much 🙏

From the minute we walked in, the customer service was excellent. The staff was welcoming, kind, and made both us and our pet feel comfortable right away. You can tell they genuinely care about animals, and that made the entire experience so much less stressful. We felt safe leaving our furry family member in their care because everyone was professional, attentive, and handled everything with confidence and compassion. The process was also fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which we really appreciated. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience and would highly recommend this place to any fellow pet owner or furry friend. It’s always a relief finding a place that treats your pet like family.
