No one wants to go to an emergency vet. But if you do, you want it to be an effective and…read moreefficient visit to help your pet as quickly as possible. Our black lab (Ollie), took some kitchen scissors out of the sink and chewed the handles while we were sleeping. We found the chewed scissors with no pieces of the handle to be found. We assumed he ingested them and decided to be safe and take him to an emergency vet. First, we took him to a closer, well known emergency vet in Hilliard. After an hour wait, we discovered they were not equipped to help. Seems like any emergency vet should be able to handle an accidental ingestion, but they couldn't and what they could do was at least another 90 minute wait. I should add that I understand that Ollie was not in immediate danger (yet) and his appearance and behavior were good enough to tolerate a long wait - but I just didn't like how unprepared they seemed for what I think should be a relatively routine incident. We left and intended to go to their larger location, but it was such a poor experience I wanted to find an alternative. We found the Dublin VEG and it was relatively close. I called ahead and talked to a pleasant staff member who gave me an idea of the types of things we would likely need and she indicated they could handle this sort of issue. We arrived received immediate attention. They quickly x-rayed the scissors to see if the handle material would show up clearly enough to make it effective and when it confirmed, they quickly got Ollie in and x-rayed. They were able to rule out any large pieces and it felt safe to proceed with induced vomiting. Several minutes later, the bits and pieces of the handles were out of Ollie, giving us a sigh of relief. I wish I could remember names, but the staff were all amazing. The care plan options were immediate - even in a somewhat tricky scenario given the material. The caring and demeanor of all of the staff put us at ease right away and we knew we made the right decision to come here. The open layout was immediately comforting to both us and our dog. I had noticed the comment on the website that said that this would be a different sort of experience, but I didn't really think about it. After experiencing this place, I don't think I could go back to the old way of being separated while your pet is taken into some back room. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I hope we don't need an emergency vet again, but if we do, we won't go anywhere else.

My experience at VEG was as good as a late night vet visit could be, and better than the experience at the regular vet, if I'm honest. Ginger was seen as soon as we walked in. The facility was very clean and I loved the open space concept. Everything was very transparent and I didn't feel like anything was being recommended or decided behind my back. The staff would check regularly on all the pets and demonstrated so much care. The staff presented me with various care options with no judgement or pressure to choose a treatment plan throughout the process. They even offered snacks and drinks while I waited. They weren't in any rush to make us leave, and even helped get Ginger back in my car as it was super icy outside. I will absolutely recommend VEG to anyone in need of an emergency vet.

I'll be brief. I recently lost my beloved 6 year old cat at MedVet after his 4 day stay there…read more That loss was very difficult and painful enough, but the over $12,000.00 vet bill for his care and stay made his death much, much worse due to the sad simple fact that MedVet does not offer either any kind of a bereavement discount if your pet dies in their care or any kind of a discount to seniors living on a limited income. Those types of compassionate discounts are something that they very seriously need to think about offering. I think it would seriously help with their ratings (and their ratings could frankly use some help). I honestly do trust that they did everything possible to save my cats life and they all appeared very professional, very caring, compassionate and concerned. However, their billing policies shows very clearly that their final bottom line is that they are very much a "for-profit business" and you should have no illusions about that if you take your pet there for help. The first thing they ask about after getting your name and your pets name and why you are there, is your credit card information. One final thought......please carefully look over their other reviews here (I sincerely wish I had before I took my poor cat there) and then think about what you have read in these reviews a bit and then honestly ask yourself: "Why are so, so many of their reviews only one star?" T.S.

They immediately took Londo back to be examined. Their billing schedule, and everything was explained straight up in advance, and they even provided a private room for us to compose our thoughts and fill out paperwork. The vet put us at ease with her candor and her expertise. The place is very neat and clean and well cared for. It's obvious to me that the staff really cares and is really keen to work with animals in need. We were there for around 2 1/2 hours in total. Londo was treated very professionally and sent home with medication and clear instructions. I highly recommend this facility for your emergent veterinary needs.

Price is usually paid upon visit or after depending on the circumstances of your visit with your dog. I appreciate the cordial staff here. Just wish the dogs could be in the room with the owners during visits or surgery because after all you are paying someone for a service. I will definitely be back soon if I have another health issue with my dog that my vet may not be able to do to get my dog happy and healthy.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by everyone. They were so kind. The plan is an open concept where staff members are not only assisting you, but also assisting the other patients. After the initial assessment, they bring you to a private room. At least this was my experience. They treated my baby girl Chanel like a queen. They were open and honest with their findings, as well as what possible next steps were. It is the worst thing to have to decide what to do when bringing finances into it. Again, they were open and honest and absolutely doted on Chanel. I was able to come and go as I needed, and in the meantime, I knew that my cat was in good hands. No ER visit is ever a wanted visit, however, my stress definitely went down after seeing their care of her. Unfortunately, my cat had been down a very long road, and looking back, I didn't know this would be the week that she would cross the rainbow bridge. However, I had a second visit just a few days later to VEG ER after bringing her home from a hospitalization. And this is when again they were open honest and caring to Chanel. They gave me options again. They were up front with what they felt would be the outcome if we went down the full path. At that time we opted to put Chanel to rest. They let us sit back in the room with her for as long as we wanted. They had a book that you could write your stories and you could cuddle as long as you needed it and could reach out to them when you were ready. It is never the easiest to make such a decision however they were so kind in the process. I would highly recommend bringing your pets here for any urgent needs, because they will treat them like family while including you in on the care. I don't know the staff members' names for my second visit, I'd like to call out the amazing staff members that were working at our first visit. The following were all amazing and I thank you so very much for all of the care that you did. Dr Wakefield, Dr Wentworth, Ceondra, Rachel, Vicki, Alissa, Sydney, Jaylah. Shout out to those who helped the next visit? But i didn't get any names (it was an emotional night as stated above). You guys rock, even during my fur babies toughest times! Thank you all for being amazing.
