This place is AMAZING! Our dog’s previous vet misdiagnosed him and we weren’t sure where to go and what to do, given that it was a weekend and last minute. On a whim we took him to VEG in White Plains. Our dog Basil was seen by Dr. King-Smith. Upon examining him, she knew immediately in less than 5 minutes that he would need to undergo a procedure and the severity of the infection. She was not only able to identify the issue right away, but she was so calm, caring and attentive to our dog. Within an hour, Basil was undergoing a procedure and was diagnosed correctly on the spot! Luckily for VEG, they were able to relieve pain from our dog and assure us that the infection was resolved and determined the cause of the bleeding. I’ve never seen a staff of doctors, nurses and people so centered on caring for animals with time sensitivity with the utmost importance. We are so thankful for this group of people and commend them for the effort they put into Basil, and clearly every patient that walks through the door. Not enough thanks can go out to VEG!! If you’re thinking about going, be safe than sorry and GOO!!!

In a panic with my sick cat I wasn’t sure where to take her. I am so happy to I took her to VEG. With there open floor plan I was able to be by her side with all her treatments and later when they recommend her to stay the night I felt comfortable leaving her. Every staff member that I had an Interaction with was amazing. They welcomed me to visit/call 24hrs. And they never made me feel uncomfortable.

I can’t praise this place enough. I’ve never seen such professional service in my entire lifetime and I’ve been to many an ER for my pets over the years. From the staff at the front desk to the nurses and their assistants they were all top notch.. and Dr Melanie Matthews was outstanding.. my dog had a broken dew claw and she was fantastic at removing it.. I will highly recommend this place to all my friends that are animal owners. Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful hospitality and I was there for less than an hour. It was a wonderful experience. Shirley and Dawson 🥰
