Today I am writing this review and this is NO JOKE. My DOG PEPPINO WAS DYING. Peppino was just diagnosed with CHF. My VET said bring him to VEG. she did all she can do. My VET sent all his records xrays etc to them. Peppino was coughing spitting up blood and could not breathe......My wife and I said lets bring him to VEG for one last chance. We got there and immediately he was taken in. Six workers were around him and taking care of him. The doctor new his situation immediately. The doctor said to me ....please give me a shot with him. I believe I can save him. I was like WOW!!!! THIS IS NO BULL.... I SAID IF YOU BELIEVE I BELIEVE 2 DAYS LATER PEPPINO IS HOME. kudos to this team that worked on May 19, 20th thanks for saving PEPPINO. I ALSO want to thank Dr. LAURY BENSON MEDICAL DIRECTOR... PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT HAVE THRIVE AND COURAGE TO OPEN 24 HR. PLACES LIKE THIS. LOVE TO ALL VINNY AND LORRAINE AND OF COURSE PEPPINO...

VEG is the place to go for your fur babies. I have come here several times and the treatment for both owner and pet is exceptional! The facility is very clean each time I was there. I wouldn't go anywhere else. If you want the best care for your pet, Veterinary Emergency Group is the place. You will not regret it. The staff is the most caring people I have ever met at any Veterinary office. I really can't say enough about my experience there. Thank you for always giving my baby the best care and experience in such a crucial time. You guys Rock! Josephine Colon

I had an exceptional experience at VEG Emergency Vet Hospital in Carle Place, NY and am so grateful for the care my dog, Shea, received. Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Cha, and the whole team were outstanding during her cystotomy. Their expertise, clear communication, and calm approach gave me so much confidence during a very stressful time. What truly sets this hospital apart is their compassionate, pet-and-owner-centered care. I was able to stay by Shea’s side the entire time and even spend the night with her in a private room, with a couch so I could sleep right next to her. That meant everything to me. Every member of the staff was kind, attentive, and highly skilled. It’s clear they genuinely care about both their patients and their families. I highly recommend VEG to anyone in need of emergency veterinary care. Thank you all for taking such incredible care of Shea.
