Many thanks to the girls there last Wednesday night! Despite being super busy that night they were very thorough and calming while getting my buddy Walter checked to figure out why he was sick. Being able to sit with your pet while they're not feeling well makes it a little easier during an emergency visit. Thank you guys so much for all you did!

Quite possibly one of the best vet experiences ever, hands-down. Historically, I could say I abhorred emergency Veterinary clinics. Both people and animals are typically crying and distressed, and they have the ability to make me feel helpless. We lost our last dog in a different emergency Veterinary hospital. Needless to say the cards are stacked against these experiences of animal care. Both my husband and I love so many things about this place. The open floor plan lets us see the other animals getting help which, interestingly, has a calming effect, even if the animal is distressed. Being able to attach a visual of care to the cry changes the internal narrative. The two times we have brought Alfie in care has been streamlined and effective. After our second visit my husband sent out a text to friend with dog letting them know it was a great option for emergency pet care. If I could give this company 100 stars I would.

We had an incredible experience at VEG Mt Pleasant. The care of both my dog and me were amazing from arrival, through triage, imaging, emergency surgery and all the way to discharge. Though I hope not to do it again soon, it was truly a great experience. A big shout out goes to the care teams led by Dr. Efird and Dr. Beckwith. The VEG “care/business model” is refreshing and great, but it’s the people that really made the difference. Thank you!
