If angels walked on Earth, some of them would work here. I rushed in at 12:30 a.m., crying, with my son and my cat in my arms. She was so sick she could barely move. The staff were incredibly kind, compassionate, and attentive. They cared for my baby with such genuine love and dedication. Thank you all so much--you are living proof that humanity still exists. read more

Super duper pleased with our experience with VEG ER from start to (hopefully) finish. Thank you guys so much. Called them last night to see if it was worth bringing my dog in, and Dr. G was super helpful. Brought my lab in today and was immediately seen and checked in by Daisy, who was super sweet and helpful. Dr. Jones helped us today and was very attentive and thorough with her explanations. My lab was super nervous and anxious, but the staff was very patient with her and made sure she got the care she needed. It felt like every client was important to them, and like other reviewers have mentioned, it is so unique and special to be able to be with your pet throughout the entire visit. Very grateful that they are available 24/7, this is very reassuring. Paid a pretty hefty price for our visit, but it is expected and well worth it to ensure our dog is safe and healthy. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. read more

Our mini Aussie got into some dark chocolate and started acting erratically at 1:30AM. Was able to call the vets here, asses the risk quickly, and rush him over to get checked. The staff were very welcoming and understanding of the situation offering their expertise and although my pup was being a bit difficult, the nurses and doc were extremely professional and gracious. The help they provided in the overnight hours despite being understaffed was impressive. Ultimately our pup was able to get the care he needed. Would highly recommend especially in emergency situations! read more

VEG ER for Pets - Cat - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

VEG has been so amazing with our boy. They have, unfortunately, seen our dog twice now but each time we've gone in, it has been nothing but a great experience. When you are there, you are able to get a room to yourself and stay there all night with your pet. Dr. Sarah Hoggan was so patient and loving throughout the whole process. Our dog Kai is on medication that needs a specific Dr.'s note but when he ran low and we were in a pinch, VEG helped call around to different pharmacies to make sure Kai got his medication that night. When checking out of VEG, Fred was so attentive. Our dog took frequent potty breaks and was anxious to leave. Fred always came and opened the door for us, cleaned up the mess our dog left after eating, and made sure that we had snacks, water, or coffee. He truly wrapped up the experience that we had! read more

The entire staff treated me n my entire family respectfully n soo much love after our loss. I'll recommend this place hands down everyday of the week wen it comes to emergency places for ur pets read more

Excellent- wonderful staff that love what they do! We appreciate their prompt attention to our rescue dogs!!

I am extremely impressed with the efficiency of this hospital! This was my first time at a VEG. Not just my dog, but all the pets who came after us, were immediately assessed. Our dog's assessment and exam were done simultaneously. While I was giving her history, the vet (Dr. Michala Frederick) was creating the treatment plan on a laptop. Others shared similar experiences with exams happening within minutes of arrival. All employees remained engaged in working, and have a fear-free ethic when treating pets. The staff continued to give updates on the progress of my dog's case. I honestly wasn't used to that much communication at an ER ;) The Vet Assistant working with our dog was very competent in monitoring and recovering a sedated patient. I didn't feel the need to "supervise" her. I apologize for not paying remembering her name. The doctor even came to check on my dog during sedation, which I don't ever see. Additional radiographs were taken without an extra charge. The atmosphere was calm and friendly. I had never been paid so much attention at a pet hospital before. I almost felt like I was the patient. This hospital is light-years ahead of any other emergency hospital I have ever visited. The money spent actually feels worth it. Vet ER's are not cheap. You pay for specialized staff and equipment that surpass an average day-clinic, not to mention 24-hour operation. Pet insurance is the only way I can afford such services. Normally, I feel exhausted, angry, ignored, and extorted by the time I leave an emergency pet hospital (usually 8-10 hours later, even with only a couple patients in ER). My dog had sedation, diagnostics, and medication prescribed all in just a little over 2 hours. There were even 4 other patients who came in after us. I understand it will be longer if there are critical emergencies, and/or numerous patients. However, I believe their efficiency would still drastically cut down on time spent there. From a business perspective, what I witnessed is definetly a collaborative effort between staff and managment in creating a positive and caring environment, in addition to efficiency. It is also clear they have addressed any negative feedback I read on Yelp. A majority of which are just people not listening or understanding what they are being told, or not understanding how ER's work. The open concept design eliminates slacking off and negative talk, creating total transparency. The staff appeared genuinely positive and kind regardless, but it's a brilliant design worth mentioning. Thank you for a truly positive experience! read more

VEG ER for Pets - My little girl hurt her paw. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I truly cannot thank Veg ER in Elk Grove enough. On Sunday night, we rushed in with our 11-month-old Yorkie, Dallas (only 4 lbs), after he choked and swallowed a collagen chew that became lodged in his esophagus, causing a partial obstruction. He was miserable, lethargic, and we were absolutely terrified. Despite how incredibly busy and chaotic the ER was that night, the entire team was attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. What stood out most was how well they worked together -- doctors and nurses who weren't even assigned to Dallas still checked in on us, made sure we were comfortable, and kept us informed while we waited. That level of teamwork and care does not go unnoticed. Dallas ultimately required an endoscopy, and thanks to their expertise, he is now on the road to a full recovery. You can truly tell this team loves what they do and genuinely cares about every animal that walks through their doors. I was an emotional mess that night and don't remember everyone's names, but I do remember Sam, Britt, and Hunter -- and every single person working that Sunday night was amazing. Forever grateful for this team. Thank you for saving our boy read more

We received the very best care for our 13-year old Labrador. The entire staff far exceeded our expectations. The initial phone call was courteous and efficient and our arrival and check in was as smooth as silk. They helped us move our very sick dog from our car into the hospital then quickly tended to us with patience and compassion. On the night we were there, the hospital was unusually busy but they always took the time to sit with us, explain everything in detail, answer all our questions and keep us updated as test results came back. We felt like we were the only patients there. At discharge, they thoroughly explained medications, what to expect, and follow up care. Payment was easy and efficient. Later, when we called because of worsening symptoms, we were treated with the utmost respect and given excellent advice: to return to the hospital. Our second visit was as smooth as our first. And although the outcome was sad as we had to make the heart-wrenching decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog, the entire experience could not have been better. Drs. McMurty and St. Germaine are the absolute pinnacle of professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. Their entire staff is well-trained, compassionate, and works together seamlessly to ensure top-quality care. We highly recommend them. Thank you, VEG, for making a difficult day as good as it could possibly be for all three of us. read more

VEG ER for Pets - Maisy - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Our puppy has no respect for our cat's personal space, which resulted in a swat to the eyeball. We read online that cat scratches can become infected easily-- especially in the eye. Her eye was red and swollen so I freaked out and we took her to VEG. As soon as we got there, a tech got her weighed and took her vitals. It took a while to get to the actual exam and treatment portion, but as an emergency care center, VEG triages all of the animals there. So if it takes a long time for your animal to be seen, consider yourself lucky. There were other pups who were doing a lot worse and their care was much more urgent. The layout of the place is really strange. All the exam tables are in one big room. So while we were waiting for treatment, we saw multiple pups come in on gurneys and being given what I will call "end of life care". It felt really invasive to the privacy of the people crying over their pet, and I can see how it might be distressing for some. Prices reflect that it's an emergency department. Thank you to Dr. Jones and team. read more

VEG ER for Pets - The dog in question. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

The kindest most transparent staff I've ever met. Made an incredibly scary experience so much easier to manage. Communicative, supportive, full reviewed all options with us. I don't know that I've ever been to an ER that has cared as much as them (and I'm including human ers). Went above and beyond to keep my cat comfortable after his surgery. Talk about quality care. In any emergency GO HERE!! read more

Before bed one night, we noticed a few small hives on our lab, Sumi's, face. She was acting normal and didn't seem bothered by them. So, we gave her benedryl and we all went to bed. We woke at 3:30 am to Sumi scratching her face and saw that her eyes and snout were very swollen and itchy. We took her right into VEG and she was treated like a rockstar. Even in the wee morning hours, the staff and the Veterinarian were ready to take care of our lab. She needed some benedryl and cortisol injections. We were there about an hour and sent on our way. The next day, Sumi had some vomiting, I called VEG and they had us bring her back in for a free recheck - just to make sure all was ok. She was ok and prescribed some anti nausea meds. All in all, we were very happy with her treatment and happy to know that there is an emergency vet near us for any future needs when our regular vet is not open. read more

Our regular vet was overbooked and we were referred to VEG when our Orange cat "Momo" needed treatment for a left cheek abscess. We called ahead of time and they were expecting us. We were immediately greeted and triaged. It's really very similar to a human urgent care/ER where treatment and waiting area are in one big room. We were placed in one of the few side treatment rooms they have because we weren't sure if Momo was gonna bolt or not. A vet tech took vitals. They sit on the floor with your pet and Momo responded really well to them.We were greeted by Dr. Connor Long and he confirmed that it was an abscess that needed incision, drainage and flushing. He would need to put her under to do the procedure. Once they gave Momo the sleepy meds and she was out, the procedure was quick. They sent us home with pain meds, antibiotics, a soft cone and care instructions and to follow up in 7 days.She's recovering nicely at home They send you a treatment plan via text and then they will discuss any concerns you may have. Here's some things to remember. Although there are very few negative Yelp comments, some past clients complain about cost and wait time: **This is a PREMIUM service vet clinic as you can basically walk in, 24/7 and it is EXPENSIVE, The Usual and customary vet fees you would normally pay at your regular vet may be higher here. However, if your pet is having a medical emergency, it's so nice to have a place you can go for immediate care by caring, qualified staff. ** Be prepared to wait.. Just like any urgent care, patients are seen in order of severity. We waited about 3 hours in the side room but that was perfectly ok. While it may seem like they aren't busy and waiting room is empty, they are caring for the most critically ill patients, doing surgeries, prepping them, monitoring them, doing follow-up calls, etc. Eat or grab a snack to bring with you as you may be waiting for a while and there are no fast food places nearby. My husband is diabetic and hadn't eaten in over 5 hours and staff found him a few snacks and offered them to him, along with some water and he was fine. We really appreciated this because he really didn't want to leave Momo there but he wears a blood sugar monitor and his sugar was getting low. ** VEG does not do preventative care or routine care at this clinic , such as vaccines, microchip, etc. It is emergency vet care only. EG has been in need of this type of clinic for a long time. Other local vets can't handle the capacity--even the ones that keep emergency hours have turned people away. We wish to thank the team at VEG, and we appreciate the care and attention we were given. read more

They are ALL amazing. Great communication, walked us through step by step with the process. Great compassion, giving us all the opinions and support us with any decision we made. Great services, when they saw my 14 year old schnauzer in his condition, there were 4 people helping us, not including the doctor. Even though Buddy didn't make it, I believed they did everything they can and more. My family would like to say THANK YOU!!! read more

My wife and I needed to call a vet at 4am as our dog had difficulty breathing. We found VEG on Yelp and were so glad they took our dog in right away. When we first walked in, we knew this place was different...in a good way. It was less than 5 minutes and the staff was already looking at our dog with the ultrasound. We were there through the whole procedure. For the service that we received, we were expecting our bill to be a lot, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually not as bad as I thought. We would definitely recommend this place to any of our friends or family. Thank you to the staff who took care of our baby. read more

VEG ER for Pets - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Walk in or call ahead, door locked until let in, no appointment, greeted and welcomed in, check in exam by vet followed by tech staff creating a profile, asking questions. Moved to holding waiting area, away from other dogs/cats. Open concept, large room with multiple exam tables, work desk stations, plus various types sizes of kennels, private rooms, public restroom. Triage check in, waiting by critical issue vs not urgent. Your place in cue based on first come first serve but also on the medical issue. Greater emergencies that your pets could increase wait time. Does not take insurance; contact your insurance directly for resolution and to submit your claim. Patient care paid out of pocket by pet owner. Jack had injured front leg, unsure how it happened other than rough play. Seen, meds to relax and reduce pain, X-rays taken. Vet did t see anything unusual, awaiting review by radiologist. Could wait at facility but opted to go home and await phone call. Friendly staff members, helpful knowledgeable vet doctors and nurses. Very good first time experience. Pleased with Jack's care. read more

READ YOUR BILL!! Don't pay until you are about to walk out the door. First estimate: $1646 Second estimate: $800 Billed: $864 Told I was due a $194 refund for services not rendered. Okay, great. As I was ready to walk out the door, suddenly, I owed them $95 more. What? They couldn't (or wouldn't) explain why. I asked for specifics, they wouldn't give it to me. I asked for an itemized statement, they gave me a doctored one without any specifics about the refund and/or the additional $95 charge. Overall, I would be very careful about their business model practices. They are all about the $$ vs. anything else. read more

VEG ER for Pets - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We had to unfortunately put our sweet baby boy down yesterday. I cannot recommend this place enough. I've never been to a vet/ er where they do so much of the procedures/ medical stuff around you. You get to be present and it truly made the process so much easier. It made me understand what he was going through. They explained In detail everything that was going on, had blankets, water etc for owners. The room and the process to put your dog down was so peaceful and amazing. It is not easy to put your baby down who just turned 4. My mom and aunt said they have never came to a place that was that peaceful (they have had dogs their whole life). They truly took such good care of my baby and I wish I had him with me right now. VEG thank you, you did an amazing job taking care of Tazzy and did the best you could with his condition.

VEG ER for Pets - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

So I very rarely write reviews for veterinary services since it could be hit and miss. However, I'd like to express my gratitude to the team at VEG. I brought my dog in for ER care due to a neighbor's dog chasing my dog and potential dog bite wound (other dog biting mine). I know the other dog isn't vaccinated, my dog is. So just to be sure, I brought my dog in for that added reassurance. I called ahead of time to ask about wait time. Took my dog in at around 6 pm on a Sunday. This ER took the place of where Ulta used to be. The building is small but inside, they made it more open. There are a few closed door rooms but the general check-in area is an open layout with exam tables. The staff was able to take my information down, took my dog's vitals and assessed the visit based on my concerns. ER visit fee was relatively affordable compared to other ER places. Only one other place I have visited, charges the same ER fee. We went home with a topical for his small abrasion and no risk for rabies since he's vaccinated. Post visit, the team did text me to check-in and they also sent me his medical records. This is highly important if you have pet insurance and insurance is requesting for this information. With my dog's insurance, his claim was fully covered. Thank you to the team at VEG for being kind and taking care of my dog during our visit! I like that there's an option for ER care for our pets in Elk Grove. Pets are also our family. Most ER places are not only far, there very few of them. Usually, they are located in outskirts of Elk Grove or nearby Sacramento areas. VEG is open 24 hours and for ER services only. I think you need to call ahead of time for the late hours just in case. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our primary vet recommended this place for our Frenchie who was experiencing spine problems. The facility was clean and were met by friendly staff. Dr. Hoggan was quick to assess our dog and help him. She was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and understanding. Everything you want in a vet. I wish she could be our primary! We arrived close to six and were done by 730. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for emergency services. read more

The staff was welcoming and kind, which I appreciated -- but unfortunately, that's about the only positive part of our experience. We were charged $195 just for a basic check-up where all they did was glance at the area our pup was bleeding from. No real treatment, no resolution. It took over an hour to be seen even though the waiting room was completely empty, which made the wait feel even more frustrating. Once we were finally seen, the vet did nothing but "wipe" the area and then told us further diagnostics like bloodwork and X-rays would cost upwards of $1,600 -- all while admitting they couldn't even perform the procedure our dog actually needed. Why suggest expensive testing if the treatment can't even be done there? So then we would have to go to another vet and pay for it all again. It's not about the pets for them it's about the money and it shows. We also had questions about insurance and she's like sorry it's a pre existing condition it doesn't apply like atleast look into it. Or offer some assistance. Then came the medication estimate -- over $450 for prescriptions we didn't feel confident about, especially given how little was done to assess the actual problem. No real guidance, no advice, and no sense that they were trying to help -- just big price tags thrown at us during a stressful time. Also I just looked up the "herb medicine" they were trying to sell to us for $250 on Amazon and got the herb for about $15 also the cleaning wipes from petsmart for $7 and saline spray for $6 and a pain medication for $12 so all together what should be $40 they tried to charge me $450!!!!!!!! Wild! Honestly, it felt like we were being taken advantage of during an emotional situation. We would've been better off caring for our pup at home rather than paying nearly $200 for a glorified wipe-down. Extremely disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place unless you're ready to be overcharged and underserved. read more

On one of the worst nights of my life, I brought in my dog potentially suffering from an intestinal obstruction. I was completely overwhelmed, emotional, and out of options and they welcomed us with compassion.

Thanks to their care, my dog is now home and healing, and I will never forget the way they showed up for me and my Kyda girl when we needed a miracle.

I love this place, their concept is great, and their staff was amazing. We recently had to bring our fur baby to the ER. We decided to go to this location since we was the nearest to our house. Called in advanced, and when we arrived they were ready for us. They have an open concept to where you can see all that they do to your loved one. As a healthcare provider and a dog mom, I really appreciated this aspect so much. Our pup was able to stay with us while they treated him in our hands. I felt like he was much more calm doing so. On the downside, you see everyone else too. They do get busy, and it was like watching one of those vet er shows when we were there. Super cool in my honest opinion.

VEG ER for Pets - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My dog who is 15 years old got sliced on his neck by the PetSmart Groomers at Delta Shores. Dr. Mikayla (not sure of the spelling) was great. She was friendly, direct and offered me multiple care plans. The additional staff here was so kind. The vet techs were great with my poor little guy, and the receptionist, while busy, still offered me something to drink and a snack. This helped distract me. Everyone was so kind and transparent. My little guy needed 7 staples in his neck and the Dr. was so efficient and thorough. I couldn't say better things about this place, honestly. Hopefully, I don't have to come back but if another medical emergency happens- I'll be coming back here. read more

For an emergency vet this place is amazing. Things I always expect from emergency vets: Slow and expensive, but you can get seen same day. However, Dr. Ongie-cha and all the vet techs that were on that day were extremely professional, and felt like they genuinely cared. My cat Landon was having difficulties urinating one Thursday night. He was frequently trying to go but not seemingly able to which caused him to be really restless. I had a local emergency vet but I wasn't too happy with their reviews and what I saw online about them. Then, I found that this place had been relatively new and good reviews. Gave them a call to see if there was a wait time and the phone was immediately answered by Dr. Ongie-cha and she told me that urinary problems with male cats could be a huge problem and told me to come in ASAP and she would expedite us. They text you a form to fill out prior to arrival to help speed up the check-in. Once we got there we were greeted quickly and asked about our issue. I explained the situation and we sat in the waiting area, which was my main issue about this place. We got moved to a room shortly after, due to how antsy my boy was getting and meowing all over. However, I feel an emergency vet should have a bigger waiting area, cause you know you're going to be there for a while. There was 2 seats and luckily not many people came in or else it would've quickly filled up. Additionally, this place is very 'open-concept' and has some operating tables and machinery once you go in, which could be not a preference for some. However, I somewhat prefer being able to see what's happening to my cats rather than not being able to and treatment done behind closed doors. Dr. Ongie-cha quickly came over and checked how urgent my cat's situation was, by seeing how pressurized his bladder was. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it wasn't urgent but that probably caused the team there to focus on other patients as our visit took around 4 hours. I arrived at around 10:30 PM and left around 1:30 -2 AM. However, I expected slowness of non-urgent cases and the piece of mind + treatment is what I needed to go to sleep that night. Through an urinanalysis, some ultrasound, and sedation +fluids, my cat ended up getting diagnosed with Idiopathic Cystitis which doesn't really have any treatment to it. Dr. Ongie-Cha was extremely friendly through the whole process and walked us through all the potential tests (urinanalysis, xray, etc) without being too forceful on what to do. She did highly recommend options with good reasoning and seemed legitimately concerned about my boy. These were a big plus for me when it comes to vets. 1. Walking through options + telling which one they highly recommend 2. Showing legit concern for the animal They gave us some pain/anxiety medication to go home with and advised us on best next steps. The bill ended up being around $900 which don't get me wrong, isn't cheap as the emergency visit fee itself was $195 alone. However, I wasn't expecting it to be cheap so I wasn't too shocked by it. Hopefully my pet insurance will cover some of it, haha. I also want to shoutout one of the vet technicians, Emily, there that night who made me and boyfriend laugh and amazed by her cat wrangling skills. One thing that I LOVE to see at vets is how well they can handle cats. As a resident cat lady, I can immediately tell if a vet/vet tech isn't comfortable handling cats and that makes me really uncomfortable to let them handle my cats. However, all the techs there (except maybe one of them), but especially Emily was a pro at handling cats. Thanks for dealing with my squirrel-y boy who didn't want to take any of his shots haha! Overall, like I said: Expect a long wait if it's not life-threatening as with most other emergency vets. Expect higher prices since it's an emergency vet. However, you'll get amazing staff who genuinely care and want to help. They even send you a text the next day to check-in with you! read more

VEG ER for Pets - Landon zonking out due to the sedation - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My vet is no longer open on Saturdays so when my cat had something obviously bothering him in his ear, and I didn't want him to have to wait two days feeling miserable, I brought him to VEG Elk Grove. This was my first time there, so I called ahead to give them basic info. I was greeted immediately when we walked in the door, and given my choice between a room or table in the larger open area - I chose the room which was unexpectedly comfortable with a little loveseat and plush round chair. Even more amazing, I was offered snacks and water or coffee/tea?!?! The staff were equally amazing, super professional and friendly and the doctor was able to locate a large foxtail and remove it - all that in maybe twenty minutes, tops??? I have used other emergency vets in my area, but VEG is my go-to after-hours clinic now! read more

Thank you so much to thee amazing team. From the first phone call seeking advice for a family pet who passed away unexpectedly at home today. Through a couple of calls, we knew that VEG was the best option for humane afterlife arrangements. Way more affordable than the close to ten other options. Upon arrival, they allowed us to enter through the back door and placed a privacy wall between the lobby and us. The amount of empathy and respect was greatly appreciated. They allowed us time to sit and grieve after all of the paperwork was done. I don't wish this experience on anyone, but if you find yourself in the same situation, you'll be taken care of by VEG. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

Hello again. Once again, i can't say enough about this group of folks. If you ever have a worry about your pet during off hours or if your regular vet can't get your pet in soon enough, please use their services. Each and every employee there is a delight. They make you feel so comfortable during stressful times. And watching them soothe the animals, you can see how much they care. My dog once again ingested my CPAP mask so it required a trip at 11:00 pm to try to get him to upchuck while it was still in his stomach. I couldn't believe a couple of the staff remembered him! This was our second trip in 5 months. Darned dog. Anyway, they're GREAT! read more

Beyond amazing care. We rushed over here from Del Paso Manor area on a Sunday and they met us at the door.

We were present for the ultrasound, IV fluids and her overall checkup. Not only did this keep us at these, but it really helped my animal to feel more comfortable.
