10/10 recommend!! Eeryone was so nice and comforting during such a stressful situation with my Stella. I was able to stay her her during the entire visit until I had to go home and she was being monitored overnight. Loved that I got updates and even pictures of my photogenic corgi! She was such a champ and so thankful they got her all better 😊😊 Forever grateful and appreciative of her team!!

Very pleasant experience under the great care of Dr. Dhanota. Your clear communication and your kindness doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks to Joey for her assistance during the procedure and great instructions upon discharge, best of luck to you. Scott, thanks for smooth anesthesia and giving me guidance on the phone. Finally, I didn't catch their name but they checked me in and even reassembled the cage for me when Dusk was being shy, that was a really pleasant interaction to start the visit. Overall you can tell the staff works well together and truly cares for the animals! If the moment ever comes up I know I'll be coming here for help.

In the middle of a crisis, I couldn’t ask for a better experience at VEG. It was one of the scariest days of my life, and they understood and validated that we were going through a hard time. Every single staff member I talked to (Dr. Nearing included) was kind, compassionate, understanding, and helpful. They all did an amazing job of making us feel as comfortable as possible and went above and beyond with their kindness and assistance. They even offered us drinks and snacks throughout the visit. My cat (Spoopy) was seen immediately upon entering the hospital, and I loved that I was able to be with him while he was being evaluated. The open concept of the hospital made me feel involved in every step. I saw the doctor within about 5 minutes. Dr. Nearing had a very calming manner and made me feel like Spoopy was in safe and capable hands. I was also updated regularly throughout his testing and reunited with him quickly afterwards. His diagnosis was something that his regular vet had missed - thank god for amazing work they do at VEG. Thank you so much to everyone there for taking care of my baby. I hope I never have to take Spoopy to the ER again, but if I do, VEG is definitely where I would take him. Thank you so so much. I highly recommend VEG to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet. I cannot reiterate more the kindness and compassion of the staff and doctor. Not only did they care about Spoopy, but they cared about us and kept us updated in every single step of the process. Thanks to them, my baby is home and on the mend.
