    Benjamin is thankful
    Melissa R.

    I took my beloved 14 year old cat Benjamin to VEG last night around 11pm. He has never been sick before and I was extremely worried and emotional. I was met with kindness and respect from literally every person working last night including the security guard at the front door. I wish I had gotten everyone's name. I was able to check in online during my Uber ride to hospital and was immediately taken back to the ER. I was brought tissues and a cup of water as Benji's vitals were taken and was quickly assured his vitals were normal. Dr. Cale Toews examined Benji thoroughly and gave me several options for treatment plans and the differing costs of each plan. I did not feel rushed or persuaded towards one plan over another and he made it clear I could ask as many questions as I needed to feel comfortable. Thank you so much Dr. Toews, you were so kind and reassuring. Other thank yous: thank you so much to the woman who greeted Benji, brought me water, and settled me in the ER; thank you so much to the vet tech that administered Benji's fluids and antibiotics; thank you to the tech that took his vitals immediately and reassured me he was stable. PS: I'm surprised at the one star reviews here but recognize that being in an emergency situation with your pet is extremely difficult. While I was there last night a true emergency came in with a cat that didn't make it. The owner was rightfully distressed and defensive and the VEG team took great care in de-escalating while focusing on how to make the cat as comfortable as possible. I was very impressed.

    I would like to start by thanking every single person that was present on that night. On 04/02/25 at Midnight...I was frightened...heart-broken and torn between feeling ungrateful to God for not wanting to let my Baby go and compassion to let her be in peace. The staff was skilled...kind and educational to me, in a state of confusion. BabyGirl would have been 19 on Mother's Day. I adopted her when my Mom passed. Your gentleness to her was so appreciated. To the staff...I send you nothing but thanks and Blessings. To the Doctor...please know that I will never forget those last moments with her.

    The team and Doctor was Great! They stabilised my dog breathing issues in a seconds and he was a happy boy. Highly recommend this place !!! I was there the third time in two years and I always left with a happy face because Doctors are AMAZING there!!!!! They help each animal in a seconds which is very important for any animal at an emergency place! I Thanked the Team and All Doctors for Everything they have done to make my baby boy happy and myself as well.

    this was the fb post we responded to. Went late at night to rescue him to just be taken away by VEG and put at ACC

    If I could give a negative 5 review, I would. I am a rescuer and my friend and I rescued a very friendly orange cat 2 nights ago bc someone posted him on FB. We rushed there and managed to get him. He was extremely friendly, but hungry and dirty. We wanted to do the right thing and brought him to VEG (it was after 10pm) to scan for microchip. We had 2 rescues and several individual lined up to adopt him, but wanted to make sure he was not someone's lost pet. A front desk person got the carrier and brought to the back to scan the cat. When she came out, the cat was not with her. She informed us that bc he is microchipped, she can not give him back to us. We were shocked, but trusted the process. We said we are going to wait there till she finds out if the cat has an owner. She tried to call, but there was no answer. We asked when can we find out if the cat has an owner and if one is not found, when can we pick him up. Rayana (spelling?) said that if I leave my information, she will contact me and let me know and if no owner is found, I can come and get the cat. We walked out satisfied although very disappointed. No one called me the next day so I called and inquired about the cat. I was told in a very cold tone of voice that since I surrendered the cat, they are not giving me any information. You can imagine how I felt. I explained numerous times that I never ever agreed to surrender him and had people that wanted to adopt him and we only brought him in to scan for a chip. The woman was very rude and transferred to front desk. A person at a front desk informed me that since I surrendered the cat, there is nothing she can tell me about the animal and to check ACC in several days. I was beside myself and asked to speak to a manager, she refused. Several people called VEG on Ralph ave trying to see how we can get the cat that we rescued from the street back with no luck. They were rude and even yelled at one of the rescuers. We all are devastated and heartbroken and want our cat back. We did not rescue him from the street for him to end up at ACC where he will get sick or worth - put down. He is totally adoptable and super friendly and healthy. Please do not repeat our mistake - do not bring your animal there. They will take them away and you will not be able to follow up or find out what happened to the animal. Horrifying experience.

    I brought my dog in there this morning because my dog was attacked severely attacked by another dog. They did not arrogate my dog wounds. They did not drain my dog wounds. They did not clean my dog wounds. They did not even give my dog water. My husband was on the floor cleaning the wounds however they did take my money. They didn't even give my dog water. Zero sympathy zero empathy zero compassion, zero professionalism, poor communication skills, and then I also called back and I spoke with Mr. Campbell who was operations manager, and he didn't even know the name of his staff he was he gave me he gave me Nikki and IKKI he didn't even give me a full name. He gave me an abbreviation a nickname I asked for the last name and he said he did know. Then I asked for a corporate number he gave me a number that was in Westchester to another hospital front desk her name is Cassandra. She picked up the phone and help me. She gave me the medical director's name and she gave me another email which I did email and I haven't even got a response back. Please do not bring your dog here. Do not bring your dog here and I also have the videos of how they didn't even bring my dog water they didn't even administer pain medication while I was there. I asked them four times even after they took my payment. They didn't even administer pain medication please if anybody wants to see the video please contact me. I have no problem spreading this video. Do not bring your dog here. Do not bring your dog here

    we had to take our dog to VERG Brooklyn last night because she was nauseous and vomiting blood. the…read morestaff at VERG were amazing - very friendly, caring, and helpful. They triaged Molly quickly and had us meeting with a vet within 30 minutes (this was at 11:00pm). Dr. Michalik sat on the floor with Molly, gained her trust, and helped calm her anxiety (along with my own). After treatment was over, Dr. Michalik answered all of my question and told us what to watch for when we went home. The entire staff was wonderful and animal focused. The hospital is very clean while not having that typical hospital smell, which helped with my nerves. I hope to never need emergency care for my dog again, but if I do, this is where I'm taking her.

    My 18 year old cat's health was quickly deteriorating from undiagnosed heart disease. My regular…read morevet did a sonogram and found fluid on her lungs, and suggested I take her to VERG for a echocardiogram. When I arrived at VERG they quickly triaged her, took her into the clinic immediately, and put her on oxygen. After a thorough exam, Dr. Karen Li sat down with me to go over the options. At that point my cat's breathing was very labored and she had an enlarged heart. Dr. Li didn't feel the echocardiogram was necessary because all Maggie's symptoms pointed in one direction. Dr. Li carefully explained her condition and the pros and cons of our limited options. The first option we discussed might have extended her life by a few weeks, but it would have required a lot of medication and potentially a painful procedure to drain fluid, and Maggie would not be comfortable. The other option was euthanasia to give her a comfortable and compassionate end. Dr. Li supported my decision to end her life to avoid any further suffering. Dr. Li was with me through the procedure and was amazingly kind and compassionate. I was able to hold Maggie the whole time so she could feel my love. Dr. Li gave me all the time I wanted with my cat both before and after; I never felt rushed to either make a decision or have the procedure. It was a very difficult day but Dr. Li and everyone else at VERG - from the admissions desk, to the triage nurse, to the grief counselor - were exceeding professional, kind and caring. I felt that both my cat and I got the best possible service in this scenario and felt very cared for. VERG didn't suggest any additional tests or procedures, although they could have. I appreciated that. It was a heartbreaking day but Dr. Li and the entire VERG staff made it as comfortable as possible. Based on my experience I recommend and would trust VERG in an emergency situation to do the right thing and take care of a beloved pet.

So, what do you do when you have trust issues and don't want your furry friend left alone in a cage overnight with just a camera for monitoring? You choose K9 Stay & Play! It felt like she was at home--she was on vacation too! I can't say enough good things about Sal and his family. Roxy, who turns 11 in June, is a double doodle (half golden doodle, half labradoodle) and an absolute sweetheart. She got along well with the other two dogs, and I received reassuring texts and pictures to let me know she was doing fine. Plus, she came home smelling great--not that typical "I've been around 100 dogs" odor. K9 Stay & Play is exceptionally clean; every area is meticulously maintained, both inside and outside. At checkout, Roxy was all packed and ready to go! Everything I left with her was cleaned and organized. Just WOW! Sal and his family made my picky pup feel right at home. Now, she has a vacation spot too! Thank you, Sal and family, for giving me peace of mind so I could truly enjoy my vacation.
