VEG Denver is absolutely amazing. Shoutout to Dr. C, Meghan, Cat and Susie for being absolutely incredible with my Baxter. He had a weird, dual fracture and GI upset thing going on and they went above and beyond with their care even at 3 am in the morning! My pup felt super comfortable and they met him where he was at (on the bed). Thanks again ladies ❤️

Dr. Carrara, Liz and the whole team were amazing. You never know what you’ll get when you choose an emergency vet to go to. They were compassionate, caring, helpful, straightforward, and I left feeling like I couldn’t have found a better team. Little bit is resting and we’ll be feeling better soon thanks to them!!

Temporarily staying in Denver, and my dog started bleeding from the mouth. While it slowed down, I still wanted to be sure there wasn’t something more serious going on. I found VEG and called ahead and was able to register my pet online. When we got there, we were taken back right away. I was able to be with my dog while they treated her. They took great care and went out of their way to make her comfortable, bringing over a little dog bed for her to rest while being treated. I felt Dr. Ernst and team did a great job walking me through different scenarios to choose the best course of care. They let my dog love on them and made her feel good while remaining patient since she is very anxious when she is not home. Check out was seamless. I felt the cost was also reasonable for emergency services. Highly recommend, thank you!
