Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the services at VEG ER for Pets

IS VEG OPEN 24 HOURS?

Yes, all VEG locations are open all the time – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – even on holidays and weekends to care for pet emergencies.

DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?

At VEG, we don’t take appointments, because we deal with emergencies. When the unexpected happens, call us or walk in to your nearest VEG location 24/7 for immediate care.

HOW DO I KNOW IF IT’S AN EMERGENCY?

Never self-diagnose your pet. Sometimes you just can’t tell if your pet is having a true emergency. But VEG can. Call your local VEG anytime and a veterinarian will answer your medical questions and determine if you should come in.

CAN I GO TO VEG FOR URGENT CARE?

Yes, VEG offers Pet Urgent Care for injuries and illnesses such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, limping, wounds, ear infections, eye problems, and constipation! Visit your local VEG and we’ll triage urgent care for your pet immediately. Learn more about the medical services we offer.

WHERE CAN I TAKE MY PET BIRD OR EXOTIC PET IN AN EMERGENCY?

VEG is skilled to handle emergency care for avians, reptiles, and all types of exotic pets.

DO I HAVE TO CALL BEFORE COMING IN?

Though you can just walk into any of our 24 hour hospitals, we recommend calling first so we’re familiar with the situation when you come in.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT VEG?

When you take your pet to VEG, you’ll be seen by a veterinarian right away, even before filling out paperwork. We’ll even meet you at your car if you need help bringing in your pet. No waiting in the lobby; you stay with your pet the entire time, even if surgery is involved. And yes, we’re pet lovers, but we’re people-friendly too! We’ll openly discuss diagnosis and treatment options. And we always make sure the pet patient and pet parent are as comfortable as possible.

The staff was WONDERFUL. This was my first scare with my FIV+ cat and they were so kind, calm, and considerate with me and my partner. I’m so grateful. When I had an emotional moment they were very supportive. They explained everything with great detail and gave us a little gift on the way out! Truthfully, the process wasn’t quick (I went on a Saturday night), BUT it was faster than I expected •Fair warning: it is an open floor concept, so if you have allergies to other pets/animals take meds• I hope no one has to experience a crisis with their pet, but if you do, this is the perfect place for it. Thank you VEG team!!!

I must say VEG is an amazing urgent care for animals. Every single person I had interactions with when i brought Oscar in today was truly amazing. They handled him with so much care(even though he is a feisty strong guy). They let me know everything they were doing and updating me on all his results. I truly can not thank everyone that helped me today. The staff is like one i've never seen before. Thank you everyone at VEG for your help and support with my guy.

Five stars isn't enough! I cannot say enough good things about the experience here, from the second you walk in the door you can tell that the entire staff is caring and dedicated. The open atmosphere allows you to stay with your pet, and the nurses and doctors are genuinely caring. The level of care was well beyond my expectations, I was informed throughout the entire process, and they have fair, transparent pricing, with no padding of unnecessary items. Just straight up care and exactly what my pet needed. It's such a warm and inclusive feeling to be there. You can truly tell everyone there loves what they do. I wish they were a regular vet as well because I would absolutely take my dogs there! If you're looking for a place that will care for your pet AND you, skip the "other place down the road" and go straight here!
