Loved this place. The people here are really compassionate and caring. I brought my cat in when I noticed he stopped eating and was acting strange. They helped and kept me updated by phone while he was admitted there and getting treated. They assisted me through every single step including today when my little man had to be transferred to a more specialized center to be treated. This will be a place I will always entrust in taking care of my animals. If you are having an emergency this facility is the place to go without a doubt. Salem is a healthy boy once again! He somehow pulled through and the VEG was definitely a big help!

He was very sick and he needed surgery and I don’t know how to give my most appreciation to all of yous who helped him all I can say is Everyone there is amazing. This place deserves more than five stars for me.

Temporarily staying in Denver, and my dog started bleeding from the mouth. While it slowed down, I still wanted to be sure there wasn’t something more serious going on. I found VEG and called ahead and was able to register my pet online. When we got there, we were taken back right away. I was able to be with my dog while they treated her. They took great care and went out of their way to make her comfortable, bringing over a little dog bed for her to rest while being treated. I felt Dr. Ernst and team did a great job walking me through different scenarios to choose the best course of care. They let my dog love on them and made her feel good while remaining patient since she is very anxious when she is not home. Check out was seamless. I felt the cost was also reasonable for emergency services. Highly recommend, thank you!
