Last night I had to put down my fur baby after having her for almost 6 beautiful years she was a pit/lab named Oreo she was 9years old and didn’t have the best start I got her wen she around 3/4 and she changed my life as I did hers 😔😔 The team was absolutely amazing and patient with me and my family they were so informative and helpful through every step they let you take as much time as you need they also send you baby off with some snacks and even chocolate 🥹💕 I don’t think any other place would’ve made this experience as pleasant as it was she went gracefully and and quickly in peace 🙏🏻😔💕 thank you VEG team for everything you have done for my baby

My cat was very ill so we took her here, Although doctor gave us options to try to save her we thought it was best for her to rest. Big thank you to the woman in the front desk & all the other lady doctors who attended us as soon as we entered the building on 3/27. It was late night around 9:30ish The way you reacted tells us you care deeply for our pets. We cant thank you enough. Also Shoutout to the person who payed for my cats euthanasia & cremation for us to receive her ashes, we are truly grateful. May my cat “WhitePaws” rest in peace ❤️

Review for Veterinary Emergency Group I cannot recommend Veterinary Emergency Group enough. During one of the hardest moments of my life, they provided care, comfort, and kindness beyond what I could have imagined. From the moment I walked in with my beloved Anabel, they made sure we were both comfortable. They had me sit on a cozy sofa, and within minutes, a nurse came to check Anabel’s weight and temperature. Shortly after, the doctor came to assess her and discuss my options. The private room they took us to was beautiful—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. There was a comfortable sofa with pillows, another seating area, and a peaceful atmosphere that made an unbearable moment just a little more bearable. The doctor walked me through everything with so much compassion, and when it became clear that Anabel was suffering, they assured me that I could take as much time as I needed with her. They gave me space, never rushing me, and let me be with Anabel through every step of the process. When I was ready, they placed the catheter and again told me to take my time. When I finally pressed the button to signal I was ready, the doctor returned and gently administered the euthanasia while I held Anabel in my arms, looking into her eyes, singing to her, and telling her how much I loved her. Even after, they let me stay with her for as long as I needed, allowing me to turn off the main light and sit in a peaceful dim glow with her. This experience, as heartbreaking as it was, was handled with so much care and dignity. I am forever grateful to Veterinary Emergency Group for the kindness and respect they showed both Anabel and me. If you ever find yourself in an emergency or facing an impossible decision, go here. They are truly amazing. Thank you, VEG, for making such a painful moment a little more bearable. I will never forget it.
