We are incredibly thankful for the VEG ER team and the amazing care they gave our Dr. Squiggles! We took Dr. Squiggles in when we noticed he hadn’t been peeing, and we were extra stressed because he’s known for being very feisty at the vet. Squiggles did not hold back from showing the care team his intense spiciness, and yet the doctors handled him with understanding and care. They identified a urinary block and clearly laid out a treatment / care plan for us. We’re sorry he gave the team a tough time (enough to break the ranking scale and warrant a new “Pepper X” designation), but he’s home now and is being a sweet bell pepper boy! We really appreciate VEG ER, and want to especially thank our care team: Dr. Wallach, Carla, Moira, Liz, and Maryan.

I walked into VEG ER with my english bulldog practically dead in my arms in a panic. The team here treated my dog (kobe) within seconds on my arrival. The love we felt throughout this entire 24 hours can’t be put into words. From the doctors to the nurses and the entire staff … they treated kobe like he was their very own. Dr Tusa took time to calm us down and explain to us exactly what was happening medically and made it understandable to us!! Eternally grateful that he was there when we came in. A special thank you to Oliver, Rachel, Cecil, Cesar, jasmine, Christine, dr Carl, dr Blake, and many more !! Do not hesitate to bring your dog here 🧡

OUR DOG ALMOST DIED 😭 We came home to find our 12 year old Pit-bull with a turned stomach. We rushed him to VEG ER and they were so quick to act. Doctor Gaby Carl was incredible. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us all the facts but was also empathetic and kind. Doctor Gaby saved our dog. The surgery went well and we were able to take him home the following day. We are so grateful for VEG ER and their staff. We thought we were going to lose our family dog. Everyone was so accommodating and kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. Also love how calm and joyful the staff was even in the midst of a crazy moment. It made my family feel at peace. I couldn’t recommend them more.
