This is a great place to go in an emergency. Like most people, I ended up here under stressful circumstances. My dog had a severe case of gastroenteritis—I’ll spare you the details on the discharges and excretions—and I arrived sobbing at 4 a.m. The team was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly competent. I really appreciate the concept at VEG, where you can see your pet at all times. I was worried that my dog's separation anxiety would make things worse, but I was able to stay close at all times. Most importantly, my dog was treated in a timely manner (and cured!). Yes, the bill can be high (hello, DC), but pet insurance covered everything for me. Dear reader, if I may leave you with but two essential truths: This is a great emergency clinic with skilled, compassionate staff—and you absolutely MUST get pet insurance.

We are incredibly grateful to the team at VEG for taking such wonderful care of our dog. Their kindness and reassurance, and sweet attention to our sick pup, meant a great deal at a very scary time. We valued being able to stay with our dog during initial treatment and assessment, with the option to stay throughout the duration of his treatment. They were transparent with pricing and throughout the treatment process. We would highly recommend the VEG Office on M Street, and would use them again if we every need to.

I had a really great experience here which I was not expecting after years of owning cats and having emergency runs. But this is my first time going to this ER vet. From the moment I walked in with my cat as I called them ahead of time, they were immediately welcoming and brought me right into their open vet room where the pet parent stays with the pet the whole time. It’s not a place where you check them in and they take them back and you are sitting in the waiting room. You’re with your pet the entire time which made a huge difference for me and for my scared little kitty. So I was impressed from the very first moment I got in there. They immediately took her vitals, checked in with me, got all the information, checked her fairly quickly and said that they would be with me as soon as they can. It was not very busy, but they had a couple other people with animals there and I maybe waited an hour with my cat, but they were right there all around me the whole time so I didn’t feel like I was waiting in a waiting room doing nothing. I liked the set up and being in the vet bullpen so to speak. After an hour, they said OK we’re ready to work with you now, this is our plan, here is the plan and the cost and asked me how I felt about all of it and whether I was comfortable with all of it. I told him what I was and was not comfortable with Knowing that my cat was already at her regular vet all day long and then required emergency attention later that night at 11:30 PM. They told me the most important things that needed to be done and what we could hold back on and I agreed and within an hour of them starting everything in terms of x-rays bloodwork results, injections, I was walking out of there, happy, satisfied, and with much less of a bill than I was expecting from an ER visit. I knew I was in good hands and my cat would be OK. I would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend them to others.
