Dr. Imma and Ms. Sarah. I couldn’t have asked for a better duo. Sarah helped us with every little thing we needed, whether it was more blankets, or checking on Wally’s machines to make sure they were all running right, or even just checking on us. Our dog was so graciously cared for and loved on it was amazing. This staff made us feel like we were special, and that we mattered, and our animal was in the actual best place he could’ve been. Our experience at VEG was seriously beyond expectations of what any sort of vet should be, let alone an emergency one. You guys are all amazing. THANK YOU!

I had to bring my large breed dog to the ER in the middle of the night due to a paw injury. The service was impressively quick — we were triaged right away. All the vet techs were incredibly kind and gentle with my pup, which meant a lot during such a stressful moment. Van did an excellent job administering subcutaneous IV fluids and carefully cleaning my dog’s paw. Dr. Kimble was straightforward, efficient, and easy to work with, which helped ease our anxiety even more. As anyone who’s been to an emergency vet knows, these visits can get expensive fast. I really appreciated that the clinic was upfront about costs and provided a clear estimate before moving forward with treatment. They also gave us just enough medication to get through the day until we could follow up with our regular vet — something that helped both financially and logistically. This was a very stressful situation for our family, but knowing we could rely on this ER clinic brought us so much relief. We’re truly grateful for the care, transparency, and compassion they showed.

The whole team made me and my dog feel comfortable from check-in to discharge. Our dog Perla had an obstruction in her small intestine that required emergency surgery. The team quickly put together a treatment plan and provided a clear estimate, which helped set realistic expectations for both cost and timeline. What stood out most was their compassion — after surgery, they even gave me a room so I could stay the night with Perla. That made a huge difference for both of us during a stressful time. I can’t thank this place enough for their professionalism, transparency, and empathy. Their care saved our dog’s life, and I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you VEG!
