VEG is the most amazing hospital I’ve ever been to, even compared to human hospitals!! Within 30 seconds of walking through the door my cat was on an exam table being checked out. Every single employee was so kind and easily approachable. I got constant updates for my cat, which gave me so much relief. They were beyond thorough with the care for my cat, keeping him overnight for fluids just to be sure he really was okay. *side story, when I picked my cat up, the assistants had bob ross playing on an IPad in the kennel room so the kitties weren’t in silence, that made my heart so happy, because my cat loves to watch shows, they truly care so much! I cannot thank this place enough for the pure empathic care my cat and myself received. I highly recommend if your fur baby needs to go to the hospital please choose VEG!! You’ll be in the best hands, guaranteed!

I had to make 3 visits within one week with my sweet kitty, Pickle. Unfortunately, it ended up being time to let her go, but every time I went, I was greeted and checked in Immediately by staff. Even when it was busy, the techs and doctors came to keep me posted on what was going on. Special shout out to Kim, Whitney, and Dr. Rhiannon Desideri for being kind and supportive on a very hard day/hard decision to let my girl go. Dr. Desideri went above and beyond looking for the root of the issue my cat was having. I know no one ever wants to go to an ER, but after this long week, I trust the staff here.

I can’t thank you all enough for your kindness and care this Friday evening. We unexpectedly had to do ‘end of life’ care for our sick boy tonight. Our usual vet’s office has normal M-F business hours and is closed until Monday. He would have suffered for two days or died at home if we couldn’t get emergency care. The level of care from everyone was exceptional. We are an elderly low-income couple and they went beyond all expectations to make it affordable for us. I’m apologize for not remembering the Doctor’s name or the other kind techs. It’s all a sad blur right now. But she’s the lovely young woman with cheerfully multi-color hair. We are very thankful! And I’d like to add, it’s a very impressive office which was buzzing with activity even at 11pm on a Friday night. And ZERO wait time! We were greeted at the door and they seemed to know exactly why we were there without saying a word. And we were immediately given an exam room to spend our last moments with Rocky, my sweet little baby-man. I would recommend this clinic/ER without hesitation for anyone in need of their services.
