After finishing school he came back to Austin and worked in specialty and emergency clinics in the Austin area.

I have been to a few emergency vets before, and VEG completely exceeded my expectations. They were so kind and professional from the moment I called to the moment I stepped into the place. They treated my dog like she was their own, and I was kept informed about every step of the treatment process. Can't recommend them enough!!

Best vet experience we have ever had. Everyone was so helpful and kind. We were met at the door with someone ready to help. My dog’s care was very efficient, and we felt the price was very reasonable, especially with exceptional quality of service we received. We were blown away by VEG. Specifically seeing the providers help other emergencies coming through the door was wonderful in regards to the open concept floorplan. Once our dog was evaluated and confirmed it wasn’t life threatening, it was no problem to see staff members rush to help other pets in need that came in. We credit that to the open concept, and had it been a traditional setup, we would’ve been wondering where the staff members were for a few minutes.

New to area so not familiar with ER vets near/in Cedar Park. Immediately impressed with the facility. Everything is out in the open so your pet is treated right in front of you. Our pet needed a blood draw but was so dehydrated it was difficult. We were allowed to be with her and hold her to keep her calm. Dr Crawford, nurse Kate and all the techs were extremely gentle with her and after hydration were able to draw the blood. Facility was able to run several types to test to rule out serious issues. We got meds and were also supplied a few days of special food to help our dog recover. One of the better ER vet experiences we’ve had. I liked the fact our dog wasn’t whisked away so we could not observe treatment. She was treated right in front of us and everyone got down on the floor where our dog felt safest and comfortable. If we ever have the need for an ER vet again, Veterinary Emergency Group in Cedar Park is where we will go.
