Pet Emergency and Urgent Care in Upper East Side, NY
Welcome to VEG Upper East Side!

From vomiting to complex surgeries, we treat emergency and urgent care needs for all kinds of pets—even avians and exotics! Discover the VEG difference, with our open floor plan hospitals, pet-parent participation, and an emergency-focused team that’s always ready to expect the unexpected.
Our Upper East Side pet emergency hospital in New York City is located on 2nd Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets. It is easily accessible if you live on the Upper East Side, as well as NYC’s East Harlem, Midtown East, and Upper West Side neighborhoods. It is also a short distance from Long Island City.
Our Upper East Side pet hospital is close to numerous parking garages, and while on-street parking is available, it is limited and variable depending on the day and time.
If you need assistance getting your pet into the hospital, call ahead—one of our VEGgies will meet you at the door. Your pet will receive urgent vet care and you never have to leave their side.
