Did you know?

VEG Cary is a VEG Blood Bank location, which provides blood for canines. These donations help save the lives of dogs in need of transfusions. The blood we store can be available to a VEG hospital or shared with a local veterinarian. It’s one more way VEG can give back to the community. You can help by signing up your dog to be a blood donor. Find out more or ask one of our VEGgies about the VEG Blood Bank.

My dog decided to swallow a whole popsicle stick. I called in frantic and talked to a vet. She was honest and calm and even offered me a quote when I asked. So many places refuse to give you a ballpark. I came in and was seen immediately. The entire staff was so helpful and cheerful. And they all put my mind at ease so quickly. They did paperwork and took vitals and then within half and hour it was all done and my dog is perfectly fine. There are no words to show my extreme gratitude. No kids. No husband. This dog is my whole life. Thank you to the entire staff for all you do every day and for taking care of my sweet Jewel, the popsicle swallowing hound dog with painted pink nails.

10/10 recommend this ER for your pet! We brought our girl Nala and there wasn’t a moment we felt she wasn’t in good hands. Also, we were able to be with her every step of the way! Even when she was hospitalized, we got to stay the night with her which made us all feel so much more comfortable. Also, even though they did get pretty busy at times, they always made time if you needed anything and saw our girl immediately upon arriving! Dr. Nilles is amazing and so is the entire VEG staff. We are thankful for them being thorough, knowledgeable, and loving the whole time. We had to bring her back the same night we took her home and she ended up being transferred to NC State’s ICU but we are so overwhelmingly grateful to VEG and especially Dr. Johnson who went above and beyond to get her transferred the very same night to NC State! Thank you VEG❤️

Dr. Johnson, Kiersten, Shannon, Mario, Dr. Niles, and their team (I need help with all of the names), were absolutely amazing. Not only did they save our girl, they were thorough, sought consultation, made educated decisions, and most of all embraced us all like family. We owe them our gratitude and support for the rest of our days! All of them! Dr. J and Kiersten took charge right away and their team followed their lead! Even through shift changes, we were always attended to and cared for, especially Koda and myself! Her pups were fed and happy, and I trusted them all. 🐶🐾❤️
