    The ball in question through the endoscopy camera
    Alicia W.

    I brought my cat Hector in on a Friday evening because he swallowed his toy ball. Dr. Tusa came up with a plan to help my baby and explained everything very calmly and nice, as I was very stressed out about it. After my cat didn't want to throw up the ball, they ended up having to do an endoscopy, which nurse River, Dr. Chan and their team did with great success. There was constant communication to me about what is happening and what the next steps are, and they were very caring to my cat. They have an open door policy, which allowed me to watch the endoscopy and we all cheered together when the doctor was able to get the ball back! While I never want to have to take my cat to the emergency vet again, if I had to, I would definitely come here again.

    Open floor emergency room with exam tables in the middle but a few closed off rooms
    Brillian Q.

    I'm leaving a 4 star review simply for the employees at this place. I can tell this is a stressful job but they do it because they love animals. All that being said, it is the strangest Vet ER I've ever been to. It's an open floor layout with exam tables in the center area. So while waiting you have to hear the collective yelps of dogs in pain. There are people like crying and it's kind of everything that seems like the worst parts of the job amplified & a very chaotic feeling space. I have a cat who is terrified of dogs. I let the staff know though and while all of their (I think 3?) rooms were full, they were able to do the exam with me in the corner on a chair away from the dogs. The doctor was so sympathetic and was the same person I was on the phone with earlier when I was debating bringing him in. ER Rooms are notoriously expensive and I had a vet appointment the next day at 2pm. I always feel like vets at ER's are just trying to recommend the most so they can just charge a bunch of money and cover their asses if something doesn't get diagnosed that they did everything. But this vet was understanding and like okay here's what we can do until your appointment tomorrow & she related to me about her own cat with IBD which made me feel so relieved because I feel like most vets & vet research is dog focused. When it came to the fluids and medicine I again asked if I could have my own exam room fully expecting the answer to be no and being okay with that and just trying to traumatize my cat the least amount possible. But the assistant actually went out of her way to move things around for my cat to have things done in a quiet room away from dogs. So my honest review is it seems like a somewhat underfunded place that is constantly overworked but the staff there does the job because they care about the animals. I would rather have an underfunded / chaotic ER room nearby than having to drive super far away in case of emergencies. I appreciate that they are in Hoboken and hope they can get some better facilities in the future. EDIT: The staff followed up with me regarding the open floor layout! This is something they are known for because of transparency purposes. I let them know that I think that it may be a good thing for dogs but kinda is not great for most cats. Most cats already hate being taken out of their homes and are anxious enough going to the vet. Adding more animals surrounding them while they are already sick is soooo stressful. They let me know they were glad for the feedback and will try and to get patients boundaries sooner if the open floor plan doesn't work for them. Will definitely come back if my cat needs to be given fluids again though :) so not underfunded just trying a different approach to ER rooms lol

    I took my dog ​​to the vet this weekend because someone hit her with their car. They told me they wouldn't treat her without payment upfront, and then they only gave her an injection and X-rays. She needs surgery, and they wanted me to take her to the hospital they recommended. I told them I couldn't afford something so expensive ($13,000), and they said no other vet could perform the surgery. I told them I would take her to my regular vet for the operation, and after that, they completely neglected my dog. They didn't even splint her leg or mark which one was fractured; I had to ask if they could give me something for the pain, and they charged me $400 for a bottle of medication. I paid almost $2,200 for the X-rays and the injection, and they didn't even send me the test results; I had to call to get them. The first time I took her there, they were very nice, but this time I realized they only care about the money, not the animals.

    We had been to VEG several years ago with our pet Ragdoll cat Rocky. We had a wonderful experience at that time and could not say enough about the wonderful care Rocky received over the course of several days. On 4/29/2025 Rocky suddenly became ill in respiratory distress . Because it was later in the evening our vet was closed so we returned to VEG. I have to admit being a nurse for 45 years in Hoboken I knew he wasn't going to come back home and I could not handle it. My husband and daughter took him to VEG where he received immediate medical attention. After bloodwork, X-rays and an examine it was determined Rocky was in heart failure with an enlarged heart and fluid in both lungs. After consulting with my family and the wonderful medical team led by Dr. Lindsey I knew I had to do what was best for Rocky. Although it was the hardest decision I had to make in my life as that was my baby I knew it was the right one. Thank you to Dr. Lindsey and the VEG staff for the wonderful care you provided to Rocky. Thank you for treating him with kindness , digniand compassion and making his end of life easy. Thank you all for treating us with kindness and understanding and knowing how difficult of a decision this was. Although it has been difficult and we will need time to heal , we thank you all for everything you have done. God bless you all always.

    Had to put my cat down as he was suffering from cancer and respiratory failure and have never been treated with more kindness and compassion from the Dr and staff. They were amazing and made a terrible experience bearable. Don't go anywhere else!!!!

    They saved our cat by taking out a 13 inch string accidentally swallowed. Thank them a lot

    Exemplary service! Called in before arriving to ask for the wait time. We were told there was none and they'd send us a link to check in from our phone. Check in online was easy and straightforward. When we arrived, we walked straight inside for vitals. There was pretty much no wait to see the vet after that. Dr. Fong, along with Dr. Lee, asked for my dogs medical history as well as conducting a physical evaluation. After evaluating the issue, they sent me an estimate to my phone and allowed us time to review it. We accepted and paid right from our phone! Looove how technology forward this office is!! Every single person we interacted with, from the docs to the front staff, at this clinic were extremely pleasant. The doctors and vet techs handled our pup with lots of care as well. We were grateful to be with our pup as he was being seen (which I feel isn't always the case due to COVID protocols). The emergency vet visit was $175 but in our eyes it was well worth it. We would definitely return for any emergencies!

    Extremely concerned when my male cat vomited up his entire stomach and visited the litter box…read moremultiple times within a couple of hours. Called this place after doing an extensive search for a decently rated pet ER (not many around me). I am so thankful there is at least one, and they're open 'round the clock. Was placed in an examination room and was seen fairly quickly by a tech for vitals, followed by the vet (I swear I tried so hard to remember her name to give her a personal shout out but stress took away my memory). She was awesome. Thorough and caring. While nothing appeared to be an evident emergency, my cat was clearly suffering from something hurting him. Recommended course of action seemed slightly excessive, but this vet truly stepped up to help me out. I consented to an xray, which indicated constipation. Treatment included sub-q hydration, anti-nausea medication, and a laxative. Cat had never been poked and prodded so much in his life. But he was such a good boy, and thankfully never bit or scratched- just growled and hissed. I would have too, little buddy!! I truly, sincerely appreciate knowing my boy doesn't have any bowel obstruction or anything worse. Great relief that we'll manage with the laxative and hopefully he'll be good as new. Thank you to the Vet Tech and the assistant who were both so helpful and supportive (and whose names I also forgot). Great team. I really, really love that every staff member called my boy "friend" and treated him like their own.

The lovely woman on the phone --Angel I believe--could not have been nicer, sent me a link to pre-register, and everyone--the nurses especially and Dr Greene==could not have been nicer. They took us right away, did bloodwork and some other tests, got the results within minutes, and had a treatment plan set up and consulted my vet (THEY were able to reach him; I never can) within minutes. My cat is still old and unwell, don't mistake that--but she is feeling so much better, and her care is totally being managed. I highly recommend. Yes, it's expensive--but it is a lot less stressful, and potential costs less, than Animal Medical Center. Highly recommend.

    This place, and the caring people in it, made a very difficult day more bearable…read more I came in knowing that I was going to have to put my almost sixteen year old cat down, and as we pet parents know, Sidney was more than a cat to me - he was family. He got me through some REALLY tough times over the past ten years, and honestly I'm not sure how I would have gotten through the pandemic without him. So knowing his time with me was coming to a close, I left it in his hands to tell me when it was time to go. And, unfortunately, that was the day he woke up and his eyes said simply, "Enough." The staff was attentive and kind from the jump. An examination revealed the options, but it was obvious that whatever was happening was quite serious - and I was given a breakdown of potential next steps. Of course with Sid's age, putting him down was also an option, and I already knew this is what we were going with. I did not receive any pressure to run any preliminary tests, procedures, or additional costs. I was simply told what the options were, and provided with an honest opinion of what the outcomes could be. And all options sucked. BUT it was obvious that the people helping me genuinely cared, and it made the heartbreak just a tiny bit easier. I had never had to do this before and I came in with Sid alone, so the vet guided me through what we were doing, what was next, and gave me ample time in between to say goodbye. Again, no real way to make these things less painful, but there was something in the attention and care I was receiving that made me feel like I wasn't going through it alone. The staff was going through it with me. I also received a beautiful card in the mail from them afterwards, hand-signed with a personal message from each - and this small gesture brought such warmth to my heart that I felt I had to share it. Highly recommend this place.

    My second visit to VEG, two years after my first, was for a completely different issue for my cat…read more Once again the team descended upon me and my boy immediately, and calmly and thoroughly triaged him and took me through all the intake questions. I spent 3+ hours there but it didn't feel like it. I was able to be by his side the entire time, there was hydration and snacks, and I was comfortable. I feel like every nurse checked in with us at least once. Even my cat felt chill enough after a while to curl up and nap in his large cage (they were quite busy and all rooms were taken). As off Feb '25 it was $200 for just the most basic care, for what it's worth, and in our situation it was very much worth it. They sent everything to my usual vet, including recommended follow up testing. Flippin' awesome and so helpful for moving forward after a terrible Sunday!
