I want to thank the staff working overnight last night. We brought my Diesel baby in because he was really struggling. Even though it was 3 am the staff was quick and very compassionate for our situation, all hands were on deck. I’d like to thank Dr. Rocha for explaining things in a good manner and being very patient with my family during this time. Also of course for taking care of Diesel and not sugar coating anything no matter how hard it was to hear. She was very caring. It was a very hard time for us as we had to put my almost 13 year old baby down, but i’m glad it was in the hands of your animal hospital. Thank you for caring for my Diesel when he needed it most. May he rest in paradise🤍

My Jack Russell was attacked by a coyote. I called ahead and they had doors open and table ready with all hands on deck. The calm demeanour by everyone helped keep me calm. He stayed 4 days since he was in such bad shape. They saved his life and treated him like he was their own. I know he was held and loved at night when I or my husband couldn’t be there. Thank you Dr Boiskin and Dr smith (day and night doctors who spent by far the most time working on him). Highly recommend VEG!

VEG took amazing care of our cat, Paisley, over the weekend when her regular vet was closed. From immediate triage, to the care she needed following that, she was treated with care, compassion, and remarkable thoroughness. The staff treated her humans the same way, explaining her care, her diagnosis, (pancreatitis,) and discussing next steps with us and seeking our approval for each stage of her care. Costs were discussed up front. I was expecting her treatment to cost a good bit more than it did, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, VEG, for taking care of our family.

Had an emergency for a kitten left by mama in the rain at 5am today, called them and sent by husband by. They helped IMMEDIATELY and were incredibly kind 🥹 Husband says the place was clean and extremely professional looking. The person that answered the phone was quick and very sweet. 10/10 Staff asked for the coloring of the kitten out of pure interest, included is her photo below.

We drove from Toledo and I can’t say enough good things about this place. From the moment Chapo and I walked in, everyone treated us like family. They were incredibly attentive to both Chapo and myself, made sure I was always in the loop, and even connected promptly with Chapos neurologist. What really stood out was how comforting they were and how much they genuinely cared. It’s handled so differently than anywhere else I’ve been. A truly safe and caring space when we needed it most. I 100% believe Chapo wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this place and the people that cared for him. Just wow.

Took great care of my pet! The staff is friendly and genuinely concerned about every animal. My furry toddler, Pepper, was seen promptly and remained comfortable the entire time. They let you know exactly what the plan is and the cost, plus any other options available. Makes a stressful visit just that much easier.

We had to take our dog, Gary, in for a minor injury (torn claw that had to be removed) and I was super impressed from the moment we walked in. No questions asked, because it was obvious what the injury was, we were taken straight into triage, seen straight away by the nurse and then again by doctor 10mins later. She explained the whole process of what she recommended (sedation, removal, follow-up care, antibiotics and painkillers) while also asking if we understood and if we had any concerns. What I especially loved about this place was the open and transparent environment of the facility. It felt like being in a human ER. We were practically in the middle of all situations and treatments and we were so close to Gary all the time. Often, at other places, you send your pet off to a backroom and you have no idea what’s going on. VEG ER is not like that. You’re literally sat with your pet through the entire experience. What’s also great is because you’re allowed behind the curtain, you get to see what else is going on. Behind us was a couple who had a cat with lots of complications and they had to make some pretty upsetting decisions. The vets were extremely kind, empathetic and patient with them. Which took a lot of time and time away from our dog being treated. BUT… because we were in the same room, we could see what was happening and were able to empathize with this family. We had a full visit time of 4.5hrs, which would usually annoy me, but because I was able to see everything going on, I truly understood why it took so long. I’m so impressed with this place that I wish they had a regular vet offer rather than just ER. I hope I never have to return, but solely down to obviously not wanting my dog to need it. If we ever need an emergency vet visit again, this is where I’d return. Recommend to all for any emergencies.

Update: More than a week later, he is still doing amazing! He’s back to parkoring with his siblings at 3 am, yelling at us so he can go sunbathe and eating like a horse. THANK YOU AGAIN!! 😭 I cannot put into words how grateful I am for VEG Alpharetta. Last week, our cat Guy Diamond, who is only 2 years old and whom we’ve had since he was about a week old, became extremely sick. What we thought was a stomach issue quickly turned into every pet parent’s worst nightmare. After bloodwork at our regular vet showed he was critical, we were rushed to VEG because they were the only nearby hospital with the medications and level of care he needed. The moment we walked through the doors, they already knew who Guy was. They immediately took him back and started working on him while keeping us informed every step of the way. Within hours, we learned that he had developed a severe kidney infection that had progressed into sepsis. His blood pressure was around 40/20, his kidneys were reaching their limit, and he had virtually no white blood cells. We were told his chances of survival were very low. I was an absolute emotional wreck. What stood out to me wasn’t just the medical care—it was the compassion. The doctor sat on the floor with my 5-year-old daughter and me and walked us through every option with so much patience, honesty, and empathy. They never pressured us. They simply helped us understand what Guy was facing and supported us through impossible decisions. When they told us that euthanasia would be a completely understandable choice given how sick he was, I looked at my daughter and knew I wasn’t ready to give up on him. This cat is her best friend. He’s family. So I gave them my budget and asked them to do everything they could to save him. The team at VEG did something I’ll never forget. They made my daughter and me a bed so we could stay overnight with him. If you ever have the opportunity to stay with your pet during a hospitalization, do it. Throughout that night, I watched these doctors and nurses pour their hearts into every animal that came through those doors. I saw heartbreak. I saw families saying goodbye. I saw pets fighting for their lives. And I saw a veterinary team that never stopped caring, no matter how exhausted they were. It completely changed my perspective on veterinary medicine and why emergency care costs what it does. They do so much more than people realize. I stayed awake with Guy until almost 5 a.m., praying harder than I think I’ve ever prayed in my life. Then the miracle started happening. His blood pressure began improving. His fever started coming down. And then we got the news that made me completely lose it, he was finally making white blood cells again 😭 They even showed them to us on the screen. I cried like a baby. After seeing so many heartbreaking cases come through that hospital, I wanted them to have a win. I wanted my daughter to keep her best buddy. I wanted our little boy to beat the odds. And somehow, he did. He wasn’t out of the woods yet. There was still edema around both kidneys, and we still had a lot to worry about. But every update got a little better. Every hour he fought harder. Less than 24 hours after we were told his chances of survival were slim, Guy came home. Today, just a few days later, he’s eating, drinking, using the litter box, demanding attention, and acting like the same goofy cat we’ve always known. Watching him curled up on the couch again feels like a gift I wasn’t sure we’d get. To every doctor, nurse, technician, and staff member at VEG Alpharetta: thank you. Thank you for treating Guy like he mattered. Thank you for treating us like family. Thank you for your honesty, your compassion, your skill, and your willingness to fight for him when things looked hopeless. Because of you, my kids still has their best friend. And because of you, we still have our Guy Diamond.❤️

i truly cannot express how fantastic the staff is at this location. i was having an emergency with my dog and when i got there one of the nurses was immediately examining him for severity of his case right as we came in, and walked straight into a room. there was a bit of a wait due to more pressing emergencies that were admitted ahead of me. the staff checked in on my pup and i consistently, offering comfort items, even had a space heater for my small dog to stay a bit warmer. they were so kind and sweet to my dog as if he was the only patient of the day, even though im sure they see chaos non-stop. they talked with me about options for care and payment. they answered every question i asked all while reassuring me in such a stressful time. i felt no judgement, only care and compassion from everyone there. i wish i had gotten some of their names.. whoever all was working july 4th (2026) evening into july 5th morning deserves such a huge acknowledgment of being so genuine and awesome. its only a couple of days later and my dog still needs specialty follow up but he is already feeling so much better. 10/10 my pup and i say thank you a million times

Five stars is not enough for the team at VEG Oak Brook. My cat was in for an asthma attack that escalated her breathing rate. The entire team was incredibly quick, calm, kind, patient, and empathetic. Someone checked up on us frequently (about every 15 minutes, and we were there 6 hours) while she was getting oxygen treatment and X-rays. Furthermore, cost was half of what I paid at another ER a month ago for the same reason. Now that we have an updated treatment plan and know what works for her condition, I am confident we will not have a flare up like this again. BUT, if we ever need assistance again, we’ll definitely be back. Thank you, to all those that helped my baby girl and were so supportive for me as well. Sagan is feeling much better and breathing at the normal rate. ❤️

So grateful we have VEG in Woodbury. My dog had her first major ear infection that accelerated rapidly by the end of the day and the whole staff made the experience as good as an ER experience could be. My dog was well cared for and it was really lovely to see how much the staff cared about each family that came in. Also, the cost was not as high as I expected an ER visit to be. In these tough economic times, it’s a relief to know my dog could get the emergency help she needed at a cost that didn’t absolutely break the bank. Thank you so much to the amazing team at VEG.

I cannot say enough about the staff and our experience this week at VEG in Snellville. Our 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Madyson, was immediately triaged and taken for X-rays upon arrival. She was suffering from a sudden GDV (bloat), a life-threatening condition involving a twisted stomach that requires emergency surgery. Given her age, the potential complications and recovery challenges, and her ongoing struggles with Cushing’s disease and thyroid disease over the past two years, we made the incredibly difficult decision to let her go peacefully and return to her Heavenly Creator. The tears continue to flow because Madyson was truly the best dog. While our hearts are broken, we know we made the most loving and compassionate decision for her. The entire team at VEG was exceptional. They were kind, compassionate, patient, and willing to answer every question we had. They never rushed us and allowed us to spend as much time with Madyson as we needed. I am so grateful to have a 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital so close to home. I trust their expertise and their evaluation completely. While I hope we never need emergency services for our other dogs, it brings me comfort knowing that VEG is there if we do. God bless each and every one of you. Thank you for being there for us during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

Mel, Elly, and Marianne were world-class. Such an incredible, caring, and personable team. This is hands down the best vet service I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was completely locked in and genuinely cared about my cat. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them. They were super responsive, compassionate, and always one step ahead. I truly appreciate their care and heart. By the end, they felt like they were my cousins lol. If every vet operated like this, the world would be a better place.

A sincere thank you to Dr. Diana, Amanda, Jenna, and the entire team at VEG Cambridge for the incredible care and compassion shown to my dog during our visit. From the initial assessment to the X-rays and blood work, everyone was so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. Dr. Diana took the time to thoroughly explain the examination findings with such insight and care, which truly helped bring comfort during a stressful moment. We are deeply grateful for the professionalism, empathy, and dedication your team brings every day. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my dog Gomdori! Bravo team 💯 PS Dori says Thank You! (picture attached 🥰)

Abby and Angela are the absolute best ever! Amazing bedside manner and a wealth of information to help us determine next steps. They both did everything to make sure she was comfortable and even took care of us too! They both treated Phoenix like she was their own pup! Thank you Abby & Angela!

It’s safe to say Priscillie was NOT happy with ME when I brought her home but she received the best care ever and I’m so happy I tried this place out! I cannot thank the staff enough for how kind, patient, and caring they were. I got to be as involved as possible to help ease P’s anxiety and they went above and beyond with all aspects of her care! I hope I never have to go back for emergency care but, knowing Priscillie, I probably will and I will definitely be using VEG!

We can't say enough good things about VEG ER in Clearwater. Our 10 year old Yellow Lab had a complete intestinal blockage, and we spent 14 hours there. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was incredible. We were there through three different shifts, and every single person from the lead veterinarian to the nurses, technicians, and front desk staff was compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring. One thing that was very important to us is they allowed us to stay with our dog the entire time. Once a room was available, they prepared a private room with a small couch so we could be as comfortable as possible while staying by his side. That level of compassion made such a difficult situation a little easier to get through. Even after we went home, I called the next two days because I still had questions about our dog's condition. The veterinarians on duty took the time to answer every question without rushing me, and I truly appreciated that. VEG made the best of a very scary and emotional experience. If your pet ever has an emergency, I highly recommend them. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for both pets and their families was exceptional.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VEG. They truly hold a special place in my heart. In March 2024, the incredible team at VEG helped save my golden retriever, Ruger, and I will never forget the compassion, expertise, and care they showed during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. More recently, the St. Petersburg location was equally amazing when Ruger needed treatment for a severe ear infection. A special thank you to Kevin, who was outstanding from the moment we checked in and continued to provide exceptional care throughout our visit. Every member of the staff made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. As pet parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. VEG consistently goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. If you ever find yourself facing a pet emergency, there is nowhere else I would recommend. VEG is simply the best!

We had an amazing experience at VEG ER for Pets in Maple Grove. I took my Harper girl in for eclampsia, and the moment we walked through the doors, she received immediate care. The entire team was compassionate, attentive, and acted quickly. Dr. Chandra and the staff did an incredible job stabilizing Harper and getting her back on her feet within just a few hours. Their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care gave us so much peace of mind during a very scary situation. One thing we thought was unique about VEG was the open treatment area. It was reassuring to see the veterinary team caring for other pets, and my daughter enjoyed watching the team work and seeing some of the procedures being performed. It really showed how dedicated and hardworking everyone is. A special thank you to Nurse Sean, the curly-haired vet tech who greeted us at the door and immediately sprang into action, the first veterinarian who started making calls for Harper while we waited for Dr. Chandra, the Asian vet tech who disconnected Harper’s IV line, the wonderful staff member who initiated Harper’s IV, the tech who helped Sean gently hold Harper during her second lab draw, and the kind lady who helped us with our payment. We are so grateful for each of you! We didn’t forget about you, we just forgot some of your names. 😄 Thank you all for treating Harper with such kindness, compassion, and urgency. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care Harper received and would highly recommend VEG ER Maple Grove to all of our friends and family. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet girl!

The whole team was amazing. They saved my frenchie Lola on the spot from respiratory failure. Lola was cared with excellent skills, love and lots of care. Her nurses Alex and Clencly were by her all the steps of her life threatening episodes, saving her twice from respiratory colapse. Her amazing Dr. Lopez was great walking me through all the intense life threatening episodes and ensuring she had her meds, tests and constant care around the clock. In the middle of an awful ER day, I felt in the best hands, and truly cared by all the staff and most importantly her immediate team. Best ER in the city! 💓🐶
