Changing Emergency for Good
VEG’s revolutionary concept began with one veterinarian’s determination to fix everything that was broken with the ER experience. Dr. David Bessler saw that it wasn’t working for people and their pets. Customers were left worrying in the lobby and then hit with surprise fees. Just as bad, employees weren’t supported. Along with a team, Dr. Bessler reimagined vet med for good. With Co-Founder and President David Glattstein, a strong VEG culture was born to support the new experience and company growth.
Customers see a doctor right away and the open floor plan lets them see and even participate in their pet’s care. VEG has seen immense growth, adding more hospitals every year. Customers return for the exceptional care and experience. VEGgies know that it’s this level of excellence, support, and relationships that makes them excited to help build the world’s veterinary emergency company.
Working Together, Supporting each other
Through continued accountability and learning, VEG models the way to empower people, provides equitable treatment, and creates an inclusive environment. VEG customers trust that they are in a safe environment where they are able to be themselves and their only concern is about the care of their pets.
We’re committed to creating and upholding a cycle of “people first.” VEGgies can show up authentically, as their true selves, and feel supported, accepted, and valued by VEG. They have a sense of purpose and belonging. DEI is an integral part of The VEG Way.
