VEG helped save our sweet puppy dog. The folks here are kind, patient, and very understanding when it comes to stress and emotions during emergency care for your pet. I will say they are very pricey, however the peace of mind I got from getting to sleep in a private room with my dog made it all worth it. Extremely grateful for this great group of humans - especially Martin and Alice who gave extra special attention to Alpine.

We rushed our dog Charlie to VEG early one morning because he was breathing fast and obviously in distress. The staff at VEG started working with him immediately. They kept us informed every step of the way and tried their best to help him. Unfortunately, the treatment was not successful and we had to make the difficult choice to end his suffering. I will be forever grateful to the VEG doctors and staff for their hard work and compassion that day. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of emergency medical care for their pet.

I came in with my kitty cat, Cali who is extremely timid. Everyone was so accommodating and patient with her. I came in crying and Elise was so comforting and sweet. All the doctors were amazing, so attentive and personable. They don’t leave you in the dark about anything regarding your pet or costs. The only emergency pet clinic I will ever go to again, such an incredible staff!
