I’m beyond grateful for everyone at this pet emergency hospital!! From the moment my mom and I walked in with my cat Polly, they took her in immediately and treated her with so much kindness and compassion. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly caring not just to me, but especially to sweet Polly. I wish I knew everyone's names because they all deserve to be recognized for their amazing hearts!!! The staff worked so quickly, kept us informed, and gave Polly the best care imaginable! Seeing how gentle, patient, and loving they were with her meant everything to us during such a scary time. Thanks to them, Polly got the help she needed and we were able to bring her home. I truly feel so blessed and thankful that we had this place. If I could give them a million stars I absolutely would!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of Polly. I will never forget the kindness you showed us🥰❤️

This place exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. I left feeling assured and my little buddy is feeling better. I loved that I could call and speak with a vet and get advice before coming in too, super helpful. The reception, tech and nursing team were very personable and helpful. Dr. Prevallet, was very thorough and simple in explaining her diagnosis and treatment plan. Hopefully I won't have to but I will be back to this location if the need ever arises.

This VET emergency location is truly the best. They are so compassionate, timely, collaborative and supportive during a visit. While emergency vet situations are difficult to navigate, they take their time to ensure you understand what is happening with your pet and what the options are so that you can make a true informed decision about your pets care. Sedation for a Frenchie is very difficult and they took so much time and care to make sure he could breathe and handle procedures without issue. I wish these providers and techs were primary care as I would not hesitate to take my sweet puppies to them for their standard care. With three “Bo’s” being cared for at once, there was no time they were confused. Our Bo received so much love and support while we navigated his swollen gland. He is now home and snuggling with his sister. Thank you for all that you do. You’re truly amazing individuals!

We can’t thank the team at VEG Dublin enough for everything they did for our dog, Theo. Theo was hospitalized for several days after ingesting xylitol, and from the moment we walked through the doors, the entire team treated him like he was their own. Every doctor, technician, and nurse took the time to explain what was happening, answer our endless questions, and keep us updated throughout every step of his recovery. There were moments when things felt incredibly uncertain, but they never stopped fighting for him. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication gave us so much comfort during one of the hardest experiences we’ve ever been through. They celebrated every small win with us, were honest when things were difficult, and made sure Theo received exceptional care around the clock. We never doubted that he was in the best hands. On Friday, we were able to bring Theo home, and we know that’s because of the incredible team at VEG Dublin. We are forever grateful for the care, kindness, and expertise they showed our family. Thank you for giving us our boy back! 🤍

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place deserved one. Brought my dog Scout in for vomiting and diarrhea, and honestly the experience exceeded every expectation I had for an emergency vet. Everyone from the Scott who helped with the payments, to the technicians, and the amazing doctor was genuinely kind and treated Scout like he mattered. Before doing anything, they explained every recommendation, walked me through costs upfront, and answered my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured. The doctor was thorough, communicated clearly, and made sure I left knowing exactly what to watch for. Most importantly, it felt like they cared for Scout like he was their own pet, not just another patient coming through the door. Emergency vet care isn't cheap, but I left feeling like every dollar was well spent on a team that actually cared about getting Scout the right outcome. Wouldn't hesitate to bring him back if he ever needed emergency care again. Hope I never have to. Thank you. 🐾

I cannot imagine going to another ER after experiencing the VEG open concept. I cannot say enough good things and the care they gave my mini dachshund puppy❤️ I brought her here after she ate part of an oatmeal raisin cookie. (Toxic) After vomiting was induced at her regular vet, she was hospitalized at VEG for two days on IV fluids. The doctors and staff were absolutely outstanding. All the Vet Techs are amazing and super sweet. I especially want to thank Chelsea, Vet Tech, She was amazing and took such amazing care of both Siena and me. She constantly checked in on us, made sure we were comfortable, and even set up an area so I could stay overnight and sleep next to Siena. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the animals and loves what she does. ❤️ I spent over 24 hours at VEG during her two-day hospitalization, so I got to see firsthand how the team works behind the scenes. I watched pets come in with emergencies and saw how quickly everyone was on their feet helping them. The vet techs were constantly checking on, caring for, and comforting the animals staying there. Seeing that made me trust and appreciate this place even more. VEG is truly a game changer because you can stay with your pet throughout their hospitalization. And the doctors are all around there in the same room, you can ask a question any time. Being able to stay by Siena’s side was such a blessing. I love this place! 🐾❤️

I don’t know where to begin!!! First off the place is so nice!! The seating area is comfortable. And there is coffee and snacks! BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW is the staff!!’ They are absolutely amazing!! From helping me to find out financial options to how well they toke care of my first born son, my cat Charlie, they were an absolute dream! The doctor was great and answered all of my questions and explained everything. The vet tech were just WOW! One in particular was so kind and gentle with my boy. She was so sweet and made sure my boy was comfortable and gave him extra treats that he absolutely loved. I love this place so much and I’m so thankful they were able to help my little old man Charlie out.

Our family will be forever grateful to the team at VEG Easton for saving our sweet boy, Charlie. Charlie was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis and became critically ill. There were moments when we truly didn't think he was going to make it. We were devastated, scared, and preparing for the worst. From the moment we arrived, the entire team treated Charlie as if he were their own pet and treated us like family. A special thank you to Kayla, Gavin, Alissa, and Dr. Shay. Their compassion, expertise, patience, and genuine care were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They took the time to explain everything, answer our countless questions, and support us through one of the most difficult experiences we've ever faced. The medical care Charlie received was exceptional, but what made the biggest difference was the time, attention, and love they poured into him. We truly believe that their dedication played a huge role in his recovery. Today, Charlie is back home with us and continuing to improve, and we know we owe that to this incredible team. Thank you for giving us more time with our beloved boy. We will never forget the kindness, compassion, and hope you gave us when we needed it most. ❤️ Charlie's very grateful family 🐾

We were transferred to VEG because our initial emergency room was on diversion. Not knowing what to expect, I was highly satisfied with every aspect of VEG. When we arrived they were expecting us and flew into admission and treatment. The quote I was given was 4,500 less than others I was given at the initial emergency room. I was shocked when they asked me and my son if we wanted a bed to stay the night with my dog. Usually Vet Emergency clinics take your dog and you don't see them until you pay and are discharged. The staff ran through my pups treatment plan and offered us snacks. The nurse talked with my son and showed him the other animals. When we decided to go home to sleep, they promised texts and phone calls. The next day I was welcomed in to sit with my baby. They took extra precaution not to discharge him until they felt he was ready. They did not rush his discharge to get rid of him... actually I'm almost certain they would have kept him another night because he was so loved. VEG changed my perspective of what Vet Emergency Hospitals could and should be. I will be bypassing my usual Emergency Clinic and coming straight to VEG next time. I can't say enough about the staff...especially the night staff!!!! e I cannot for the life of me remember the names of the staff. The first 1 was the night nurse who was in charge of the admitted animals... glasses, blond hair..super sweet. The second was the day vet tech...guy, so kind and I watched him kiss all of the babies like they were his own...smells like vanilla if that helps narrow it down. Also the doctors both night and day were pleasant and thorough with explaining his condition and plan for treatment!

Do NOT hesitate to take your pet here. If anyone knows, it would be myself since i practically lived there for 3+ days. There is not one thing that the team at VEG Nanuet could have done better. They collectively saved my dogs life. I was there for days with my dog, and had the opportunity to meet what I believe to be most of the staff, and every single doctor, vet tech (nurse), receptionist, vet assistant etc etc was absolutely AMAZING at what they do. My elderly dog had to undergo major surgery with aspiration pneumonia, and as most know who have had similar experiences with elderly humans and animals, that's a death sentence in many cases. But my sweet girl is home, happy, playing with her ball, because this amazing team made it happen. They watched me sob for days, and every single person had wonderful bedside manor, even making me laugh at my worst. My tears of heart break turned into tears of joy knowing my Lady girl was coming home with me. The transparency here with being able to watch everything, including the surgery, is unmatched. I thought it was the end for my pup, but Dr Raino kept me going, and Dr Catto performed the surgery that saved her ultimately. I cannot thank them enough. I truly have a place in my heart for these people now after what they've done for my girl and my family. Because of my experience here im certain my future career path is in animal medicine, watching their empathy, kindness, and real true knowledge of animals is inspiring. I haven't slept in days so i may be rambling, but it's the rambling of a happy dog mama in the end. PSA as well, ban peaches. For good. Thank you all again!

When my dog Milo got sick, I was super worried and had to bring him to this emergency vet. When I walked in. I was shocked at how many people were there to help my dog and not only that they were there to help they like actually cared about the dogs in any animal that was coming in. There was so many people that had their hands on Milo within a few minutes of him coming in and All were super helpful. Dr. Ellington was probably the best doctor for Mi He truly loved my dog instantly and was really good at explaining what was going on with him and made me feel safe enough to leave him overnight with them. I could’ve also stayed with him if I wanted to, but I needed to sleep myself so I left him with them and I knew he was in the best care. I’ve never felt so grateful for an emergency that in my life they truly are the best place to go and I hope that if you ever need these services that you would check them out because they were the best that I’ve ever seen every single person there was wonderful and I wish I got all their names but I didn’t. They are fantastic and I highly recommend.

June 25, 2026 THANK YOU VETERINARY EMERGENCY GROUP COSTA MESA We were referred to VEG Costa Mesa during a difficult time when we needed an emergency veterinary hospital that would allow us to stay with our beloved Mini Australian Shepherd, Lacey, during her end-of-life care.We arrived about 1:30 a.m. on June 9 and were immediately greeted by Dr. Nikki Smith and her compassionate ER staff. They took the necessary steps to ensure Lacey’s peaceful passing. We were then able to spend as much time as we needed in a quiet room with Lacey wrapped in a blanket in our arms, giving her our final love and goodbyes. Dr. Nikki Smith and the entire staff were incredibly caring, understanding, and compassionate throughout the entire process. We decided to have Lacey privately cremated. VEG handled the arrangements, and a few days later, we returned to the ER facility to receive a beautiful cedar box engraved with her name. They also provided us with a paw print cast in ceramic and enclosed some of her feathers as a keepsake. The entire experience was nothing short of benevolent. We are so grateful that we found VEG Costa Mesa in our time of need. It was the smaller ER for pets that provided us with the compassionate care and personalized experience that we were looking for. We highly recommend them! With heartfelt thanks, Marc & Ann I

Everyone here was incredibly kind and compassionate. I brought in a tiny wild baby bunny that my cat had caught after being turned away by several other places. Even though it was wildlife and not an animal they would normally treat, the entire team was still willing to take a look, care for the bunny, and do whatever they could to help, without charging me anything. What touched me most was how much compassion everyone showed toward such a tiny life. The staff also helped reach out to wildlife rehabilitators to see if anyone could take the bunny. Unfortunately, because the bunny was so young and fragile, there wasn’t a rehab with the appropriate resources available to accept it. Even though there was only so much they could do, everyone genuinely tried. I’m especially thankful to Phoebe, but I truly appreciate every single person who helped us that day. After being turned away by so many other places, seeing an entire team willing to spend their time and effort helping a tiny wild animal meant so much to me. You can tell that the people here genuinely care about animals, no matter how small they are or whether they are someone’s pet. This experience left such a wonderful impression on me. If either of my cats ever needs emergency care, this will absolutely be one of the first places I consider. Thank you to everyone who helped and showed so much kindness to this little bunny. ❤️

The team at VEG ER FOR PETS are AMAZING. Dr Martin and her team saved my little puppy life after a life threatening injury. The staff was very informative. Kept you informed of what was going on with your pet. I can never repay you guys back. Thank you for saving my little puppy life. The last picture at the bottom was just taken today. She’s doing well. She’s eating playing back to her happy self once again thank you VEG ER for pets.

Our hen Linda found herself in a medical situation that had us rushing to Veterinary Emergency Group, right across from what we'll generously call a poorly attended remodeled shopping mecca — the Beverly Center. Not exactly where you expect to bring a chicken in Los Angeles, but here we are. From the moment we walked in, the warmth and professionalism of everyone in the room set the tone — calm, genuine, and reassuring. Dr. Harris was extraordinary — knowledgeable, compassionate, and completely unfazed by the fact that her patient had feathers. When she wasn't certain about something, she did what great doctors do — she called a colleague, who got a chicken specialist at UC Davis on the phone. That's not standard. That's exceptional. Rosalba was exceptional in every way — attentive and kind in a way that made a stressful situation feel manageable. And Renee handled billing and paperwork with such grace that even THAT part of the experience felt human. Ramon Romero, the Hospital Manager, was extremely welcoming and helpful when we asked who to contact for permissions to use footage filmed for our documentary. Linda, for her part, was utterly charmed by the staff who couldn't stop telling her how beautiful she is. In an upsetting situation, she was soothed by genuine adoration. As one should be. Why does the chicken cross the road? To find the heart where VEG lives. You don't expect a veterinary emergency facility to feel like family. VEG does. Five stars doesn't cover it.

Very organized, clean and most of all considerate and understanding when a pet parent is there because of an emergency. Jordan needed surgery for removal of an object he ate. It was removed at 4am after x-rays and giving it time to hopefully pass. He was up and ready to go home in just a few hours! Thanks to a great surgeon and team!

The most compassionate and professional Emergency Vet I have ever encountered. Our Corgi Biscuit hurt his paw playing outside, and Dr. Smallcomb and her entire staff showed such care to get him taken care of. Even when putting him for sedation, they put him in a lovely room with the blinds drawn and gentle music playing to make him comfortable. Just absolutely extraordinary.. thank you so much to all of you!

Everyone here is sooo kind and helpful and they made us feel more at ease about our sick kitten! We were helped immediately upon arrival and put into a comfy room. Dr. Hahn and all of the technicians were so friendly and knowledgeable and we loved being able to be with our kitten during most of the treatment. They communicated with us in detail throughout the process. Thank you guys for helping him! He is doing so much better after just one night!

Paddington says to thank everyone who pet him and gave him all the attention he demanded. The staff are the reason why Paddington does not associate VEG on Rampart as a negative experience. Thank you to everyone’s help and all the love given to him on our *latest* visit 😭. Thankfully nothing serious this time. Realizing right now that I don’t recall my nurses/techs names’, I am so sorry. I think I was just happy that Paddy was happy and completely forgot to get names. The two ladies kept us updated and offered help throughout our entire stay. They were also so chill with our strange encounter; someone I knew walked in with their own pet concerns. They helped ease those parents immediately. Afterwards our areas merged (while still separate) and the nurse/tech were so good about keeping us updated but keeping patient info confidential. I was able to witness them, and DVM Jones, treat the pet and parents with compassion, offering comfort and understanding throughout, offering options for payments without judgement to the parent’s ability to pay. Unfortunately, the fur babe’s diagnosis was too severe and treatment and recovery would be difficult, so the difficult decision was made for comfort. I hate it came to the conclusion it came to. I could tell the staff were affected, and yet they did the switch up everyone in the medical does where they put their emotions aside and made sure that each fur babe and parent they encountered got the level of care they deserved. The staff even helped me when we were discharged and had my dog and took the other family’s *literal* baby so they could say their goodbyes. We were no longer a patient but they still checked on us and gave Paddington tons of love. The staff at VEG on Rampart are something special, because while it was all tough for the other family, in the end they managed to have the other parent’s laughing. *Thankful for anyone who remembered Paddy from previous visits. You fill his bucket and boost his ego, and this point his name should be Diva Paddington.*

This place was phenomenal! They were so caring, compassionate, and loving with our dog. We brought her in for an emergency, and they took her in immediately. The entire staff was kind, professional, and incredibly efficient, especially considering all the other emergencies that continued coming in. We are so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pup when we needed it most. I would absolutely bring her back here again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
