VEG Emergency Vet
san jose, California

Last August, our cat Freddie suddenly got extremely sick - he was not eating or playing and then developed issues breathing. We took him to VEG, where he was put in the ICU overnight and ultimately given a diagnoses of FIP. It was an extremely stressful situation for Freddie and us (especially with Freddie being our first cat), and we are so glad to have had Dr. Rivera and Dr. Spencer take care of Freddie. They were really empathetic, patient, knowledgeable, and helpful the whole time. They kept us informed every step of the way, explaining the workup and plan and providing us with the necessary resources. In addition, they and the other staff were gentle and caring when handling our cat, who is extremely shy and anxious around strangers. Due to the prompt and excellent care at VEG, Freddie survived and is doing well today. We are very grateful to Dr. Rivera, Dr. Spencer, and all the other staff who took care of Freddie. Thank you so very much!

A three weeks ago, our beloved 16 year old dog, Bebe, had a sudden medical emergency, she became unresponsive and completely froze. We rushed her to Veterinary Emergency Group, where we were immediately brought into their advanced treatment facility. Dr. Brittany Solomon and her team acted swiftly and professionally. Bebe’s heart rate was dangerously high, and Dr. Solomon tried multiple approaches to identify the cause. With her expertise, she quickly diagnosed the issue and administered the necessary treatment, bringing Bebe’s heart rate back to normal. Throughout the process, she was not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate. She took the time to explain everything to us, addressed our concerns, and made sure we were comfortable with the treatment plan. We were also amazed that we could stay inside the treatment room with Bebe throughout the entire process. Being able to see what was happening and how they provided treatment gave us so much comfort and confidence. Their open-concept and pet-friendly approach truly set them apart, making us feel at ease while ensuring Bebe received the best possible care. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Solomon and her dedicated team. Their exceptional care and professionalism truly made a difference in Bebe’s recovery. We highly recommend Dr. Solomon and the team at Veterinary Emergency Group at San Jose location. They are a blessing to pet owners in need!

5 stars are not enough! I have never had such a positive vet experience. I brought in my cat, Willie, with potential urinary tract blockage. We were seen immediately. They carefully performed an exam and suggested for him to get a urinary catheter and hospitalized there. They explained everything regarding his procedure and all of the charges on the invoice to me. During his hospitalization any time that I called I was able to quickly get an update on him from either the nurses or the doctors. He is now back home and recovering. Every single person working here is fantastic. Dr. Wickham, Dr. Lin, Dr. Rivera, Dr. Lee, and all of the nurses (unfortunately, I have been very stressed and forgot their names). You can tell they do love the animals and care about them (and not like many other practices want to extract as much money as possible from you). I have no words for how grateful we are for all their effort.
