This place is amazing and I would absolutely recommend going if your dog has an emergency. My dog ate a tag that had a safety pin on it and I called them and they told me to bring her in. They were so quick and efficient once I got there. The doctor was amazing and all of the nurses/staff were amazing. They had to make a tricky call and I felt very comfortable with them working on my dog. They got the X-rays done so quickly and came up with the best treatment plan for her. It’s also nice it’s an open floor plan so you can stay with your dog and make sure they are comfortable. Can’t recommend this place and Dr. Jacobson and Dr. Lang enough! The nurse Patsy was amazing too.

This was my first ever experience having to take my pet to the ER after suffering a puncture wound and I couldn't be any more happy with the entire experience at the Veterinary Emergency Group! Dr. Buehler and the entire staff from reception to every single technician all did such an amazing job contributing to really show how much they not only provide the most compassionate, educated, and comprehensive care for pets but also for their owners. They did such a fantastic job from immediately being checked in upon arrival, being comfortably seated right by my pet's side the entire time, promptly evaluated by Dr. Buehler, being treated, having every single one of my questions thoroughly answered, and discharged home with clear instructions. Hopefully I won't ever have to visit a pet ER again but for any future emergencies I will only use the Veterinary Emergency Group. I can't thank you all enough for everything you have done to help my pet make a full recovery and make me feel comfortable the entire way!

Hands down the best possible outcome out of the worst scenario. My dog Kodak was hit by a car and the staff here was amazing. Literally did everything to help him and us after this traumatic event. They brought us snacks and blankets and made sure we were comfortable while they treated Kodak. If I could rate this place 10000 stars I would. Can’t remember the ladies name who brought us the snacks, but she had glasses and was awesome. Also Ashley was amazing as well and the ER doctor Maxwell!
