VEG Emergency Vet
st petersburg, Florida

No pet parent ever wants to see their furchild suffering, scared, and in pain…but having a place where their worst days (and yours let’s be honest) are met with such compassion, a judgement free zone, and the ability to walk the journey alongside your pet makes a WORLD of difference. Over the past week and a half we have been calling, sleeping on the floor, cuddling on couches, and bonding with the entire team. Your Vet model has made one shy and anxious dogs stent with gastroenteritis and pancreatitis feel like we were cared for by family. We are forever thankful for your entire team assisting in payments, insurance, making us feel apart of the process, the red carpet exit on discharge, and even going as far as to help with my car when its battery died. The St. Pete location near us truly goes above and beyond in all they do! We are VEG advocates through and through ❤️. Special shoutouts to: - Dr. Burns, Dr. Manning, Dr. Riddick, Dr. Stacy Nelson, and Dr. Sparks. - VEG Nurses: Amy, Olivia, Haley, Elexis, Gigi, Brittany, Marykate, and Katelyn. - CECs: Mike, Kevin, Vanessa, and Candice.

My cat Leo developed urinalysis blockage, my vet referred me to VEG in St. Petersburg. Brand new in town. Leo was so sick. I was greeted at the door by a team. That first day Dr. Pollihan, Elexis, Sami and Olivia took him from me and immediately started working on him. They were so kind and concerned. I know now that they are all knowledgeable professionals. Within 3 hours they had relieved the blockage and drained his bladder. I had a very sick boy. After the procedure when he was resting comfortably I felt confident to go home. He was there for 3 days. Dr. Reiddick was on the night shift and called me in the evening after tests results and every morning with progress. During the next 2 days Dr. Manning took over his care. All 3 doctors were beyond my expectations. The rest of the staff, Todd, Regan, Mike, Candace, Katelyn, Alicia and Gigi were so helpful and kind I am so grateful that I found this wonderful place. The other thing that I loved about the hospital is the set up. Cages are all around the walls with exam tables in the middle. Your pet is never out of your site. Thank you for saving his life. ❤️❤️❤️

They are so sweet and kind. They are extremely understanding and did everything they could to help me with my snake. I'm disabled and can't drive and they were even able to get me an Uber so I could have a vet look at my baby. If I ever have any other issues with pets I'm coming to them. All the staff we just extremely kind and helpful. I've never been to such a nice vet. They are new to the area but I'm positive they'll become a staple of the pet community very fast. Absolutely recommended for anyone dealing with emergency issues with their pets.
