We will never go anywhere else for our pets. 💗 Our sweet Flemish Giant rabbit recently passed away, and having just moved to the area, we were navigating something we had never experienced before. VEG took absolutely incredible care of us from start to finish. Even during the very first phone call, everyone was so thoughtful, compassionate, and kind. When we brought our sweet boy in, we could genuinely feel how much every single person there cared about the animals they treat. They made an incredibly heartbreaking process as easy as possible, walking us through exactly what to expect and every step involved in arranging a private cremation for our boy. Something else that meant so much to us was that they offered more affordable options, giving families the ability to make the choices that feel right for them without adding an unnecessary financial burden during an already devastating time. That level of thoughtfulness truly speaks volumes about the kind of care they provide. But the kindness didn’t stop there. My mind was completely scrambled that day, and I accidentally gave them the wrong home address. They took the time to call me to make sure our sympathy card would actually make it to our home. 🥹 That small gesture meant more to me than they could ever know. This was the first time I had ever lost a pet of my own, and the heartbreak is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. As devastating as the experience was, I will always be grateful that we chose VEG. They showed our sweet boy and our family so much compassion during one of the hardest days of our lives. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone. Thank you all, for taking such wonderful care of our boy and of us. 💗

VEG Marietta was my first experience at an animal ER. Every single person we came in contact with was exceptional. They showed kindness, patience, understanding and empathy towards me and my family. Our little kitten wasn’t strong enough to make it, and they made that process as painless as it could have possibly been. They even mailed us a handwritten sympathy card once we had gotten her remains. I am blown away by their level of care.

10 ⭐️ We can’t say enough good things about the team that took care of our Bear. We brought him in after he swallowed a foreign object and needed emergency surgery. From the second we arrived, they were ready for us, knew exactly what was going on, and were so incredibly sweet with Bear. They kept us informed the entire time, explaining what they were doing as they prepared him for surgery and popping their heads out during the surgery to give us updates. We were even able to watch the entire surgery through the glass window, which was pretty amazing and unexpectedly comforting. Of course we were so nervous waiting, and one of the doctors brought us a kitten to hold as a “support kitty.” We will never forget that. It was such a kind thing to do during a really scary night. The open-concept emergency room was a first for us, but we actually found it really interesting. Being able to see what was going on around us with other pets and how the team worked together helped keep the time moving while we waited. They offered a room for us to stay with a couch (what other emergency vet’s do that?!) .We did have to leave for a few hours but when we came back Bear was asleep on the couch with one of the technicians, tucked under a blanket. That pretty much said everything to us. They didn’t just take care of him medically, they loved on him and made him feel safe when we couldn’t be there. Did I mention that the coffee (espresso) was delicious and a tech brought me (mom) a delicious breakfast treat! We are just so grateful. They took an incredibly scary situation and made us feel like our baby boy was being cared for like he was their own. I would recommend this team without hesitation. Bear is doing great! Back to happy, healthy & crazy puppy shenanigans. A huge shout out to: Doctors: Jarrell & Maclean Nurse: Burke Assistant: Karlee, Gabby, Adam & Tori CEC: Clara & Jessie Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love, The Harmons
