Our dog had been vomiting & diarrhea all day. He wouldn’t eat or drink and got very weak. We suspected he ate something at the beach the night before. We took him to VEG and they looked after him right away. The staff was very friendly, caring and helpful. The vet examined him & thought there was an obstruction in his digestive system or ate something poisonous. He got IVs for hydration and nausea, we monitored him for the next few hours. If he continued to vomit there’s likely an obstruction and we’d have to do x-rays. Luckily later that night, our dog woke up & went straight for the water + food. We took him for a walk and he pooped out chunks of hard sand. Looks like he had sand impaction. He pooped more blocks of sand the next morning & now he’s back to normal, eating, drinking, wagging his tail, regular stool 🙏🏼 Would HIGHLY recommend this place! We were provided with several ER places, but this one had very high reviews compared to the others and now we see why. We loved the open concept and that we got to stay by our dog’s side for the whole process which really put out dog (and us) at ease. Thanks for your expertise and care!!

VEG made this experience as comforting as possible. I lost my lil Bella Bear today but am grateful for this hospital guiding me through one of the most challenging moments in my life. They even let me sleep over night with her one last time 💔 thank you for all your hard work and comforting words

VEG in Clearwater is amazing. Dr. Fleur Jones was so good with our little guy. I love that you can stay with your pet throughout the whole time they are there. We brought his dog bed so he was more comfortable. Our dog was there for 24 hours. No one wants to have to go to the ER with their pet but the amazing staff makes you so comfortable it calms your nerves. Highly recommend VEG
