I had noticed my cats belly was looking larger. She has always been a thin shrimpy cat all 14 Years of her life: She had' never been to a vet because she never needed one. I knew she was not pregnant ... Even though she's never been fixed, but because she's never been outside or interacted with any other cat in her life. I brought her into Veterinary Emergency Group. I was very scared for her and the Veterinarians and assistants because she is not the friendliest cat but to me she's my mush. Anyways... to my surprise she didn't act like a wild rabid feline and they saw her immediately and gave her a sonogram and explained that my cats has Pyometra which I never heard of before and her uterus is infected and all that roundness around her belly was infected liquid in her uterus. They told me she needed surgery S.T.A.T. I was an emotionally mess. Then I saw how much it would cost and I didn't have that kind of money. I know most definitely if I could I would have done with Veterinary Emergency Group If I had the proper money available , But they kindly referred me to another Emergency Veterinary Office I could afford. Meeka Definitely preferred Dr. Lora Howell Clinic because she went wild at the other place I can't thank you all enough the whole staff was so caring and that's what we need in the world. Compassionate Animal and owner care...Thank You..from Meeka and I... I might be bringing her back sooner then later because I prefer to be in the best of hands . I need Vets and Vet assistants who care read more

They saved my dogs life and did it with care. I am so grateful to have him today. He had ingested something in the back yard. To this day it is a mystery. He was foaming at the mouth and couldn't lift his head. It was the scariest moment of my life. They immediately tan tests, put him on fluids and on oxygen. They kept him overnight in an oxygen tank and I got to pick him up the next day. I am forever grateful read more

This is the most caring veterinary office I've ever been to. We had to bring in our old golden retriever late at night. After an ultrasound it turns out he had aggressive tumors and cancer and had to be put down. They helped carry him out of the car and even brought him a plate of all of a dogs favorite foods before we had to say goodbye. They were so kind to us and our sweet boy. read more

My budgie was bleeding badly at a time that my avian vet was not in the office. My expectations were low for avian treatment, but Dr Howell & the team gave us 5-star attention and care, and really worked on him to save him. Doctor led an excellent treatment plan and execution and everyone in the office was professional and so kind to us. If your pet is in trouble -- go there. read more

Very caring staff whether they are healing your sick pet or you bring you pet that passed away. They are very compassionate.

Thank you VEG for caring for my senior dog. Everyone was so kind and really cared about Buddy's health. I am so glad we came in.

My dog was sick and they took her right away. The staff was so kind and patient with her. The doctor was amazing, she got down on the floor to keep my dog calm where she did her examination. The facility was pretty clean and the bill for the service was surprisingly reasonable. read more

The care and diligence here is amazing! My 11 week old puppy was poisoned by a bufo toad and they rushed her in, hooked her up to iv, and made sure she was monitored all night. I was able to call and check in on her at any point. The staff was so sweet - especially Justine! She really made me feel comfortable and safe. Thank you so much for saving my girl!! read more

I really can't express in words how amazing Dr. Sarah Stewart is as well as her team on Friday night (Lauren, Amanda, Andrew, and Olivia)! I will try though. My dog was in a very serious pit bull attack a week ago while out of town and had stitches and drains put in. I was instructed to take her to my regular vet when we got home to have the drains removed and continue her recovery process. After removing the drains Friday, he told me that her wounds looked fine and to bring her back Monday, I had a feeling since Thursday that something was wrong and he didn't know what he was talking about. I was calling and emailing VEG on Thursday and Friday with pictures of her wounds for a second opinion. Dr. Stewart personally called me several times and seemed concerned. I really feel like she and the whole staff really cared about what was going on with my baby rather then just caring about the money as so many vets do. After the drains were removed Friday I sent her pictures and she said to bring her in because it looked like something was wrong. My regular vet (EX VET) completely overlooked the major infection that was going on in a pocket UNDER the wound. I am so so so thankful that Dr. Stewart is so knowledgeable and found this pocket of infection. If I waited until Monday like I was instructed, she might have died. Or if I took her anywhere else I wonder if they would have even found it. After Dr. Stewart did sooo much for her that night and got her on antibiotic IVs and cleaned out the infection, she was honest and recommended we take her to a specialty surgery center in Jupiter to continue treatment (They are amazing too) that she set up for us. She let me come in the back and see her and really explained what they were going to do for her. They were very upfront about the prices of everything and she even gave me a discount because she knew how expensive the continued treatment would be. She even checked up on us after we left. I had to share the little heart they made to put on her bandage when we picked her up. They even texted me pictures of her after she woke up from anesthesia. I believe that God really directed me to Dr. Stewart that night. I can't explain the feeling I had that I just needed a second opinion and I trusted her so much from the beginning. She saved my baby's life and I will be grateful forever!!!! I wish she could be my regular vet lol but I know what she's doing to save animals in the ER is so important and she is so smart. Truly saving lives and is the nicest person ever. The whole team that night were angels. They all went above and beyond. Thank you so much!!! read more

I took my cat in as she had swallowed a foreign object and was repeatedly vomiting. The staff and the vet nurse were very diligent in assessing her as the waiting room was full. Once inside, I was surprised to see the place looked like an ER and I could stay with my cat throughout her evaluation. Dr Lippo was very kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. They took good care of my cat, and were considerate enough to work within my budget. Thank you for taking the fear out of going to the vet. read more

First Visit today with my baby...exceptional experience! Could not be happier with the results.

Yesterday evening, we broke my cats Insulin bottle and didn't know where to go, or what to do. We had known about VEG, went there, and they were AWESOME! Alexis contacted Dr. Lippo, and they GAVE US the dosage we needed to get through the evening, Just Great. Thank goodness they were there, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. read more

AMAZING! Dr. Enio Sanmarti was beyond helpful. I was concerned with my dog's sutures from his neuter from another clinic. I had emailed pictures and he had suggested I come in. It turned out to be less severe than predicted and Dr. Enio Sanmarti cleaned his wound and glued the incision together. He also recommended medications that would be helpful for the healing process. He also didn't charge me for the service and I am beyond grateful for that. I highly recommend this Dr. Holly O'Hara was very good with communication. I had emailed her with questions and she replied within 15-20 minutes. I also am grateful because the visit took less than an hour even though they were busy. Marina and Lauren were great! They took such good care of Heath during our visit. Olivia helped make the visit the most efficient by giving me recommendations. read more

Tonight's team: Dr. O'Hara, Carly L., Kimmy, Andrew, Amanda and Carly M. We're the best! They kept me well informed on every step in their care of my dog, who is a tiny dachshund that broke her toe. They made sure to check over everything not just her toe. They identified so potential health concerns that were not related to her toe and gave me a good deal of information on what to watch for and expect with those issues. You can see the love and TLC they put in their care and their job. read more

My most recent visit was last month (October 2015) another visit on the weekend and again late into the night early morning. I love the fact that they are open emergency hours, especially since my pup is convinced that her medical emergencies can only take place during those hours. I know its emergency services but the prices are high from examination to any and all tests that need to be completed. I highly recommend pet insurance or their Care Credit line which offsets some of the higher costs for service. I find staff to be good, granted its 3 am but the bedside manner is lacking in some areas. They do their lab tests on site which allows for a quick response and look into potential issues. Overall if you're in the area and have an emergency pet concern, I'd direct you right to PetPB. read more

thank you for taking such good care of my baby. i know you all work really hard and i really appreciate it. Love Sunshine the razor girl read more

This emergency vet is the most amazing awesome place to take your fur child. My vet sent me there when my pup began vomiting frequently and he told me that I would be-in good hands. . They treated Muffy as though he was their very own pet. Dr. Alexa Gonzalez and her entire team are warm caring and quite knowledgeable. After surgery with his own vet the next day they once again cared for him overnight. They were wonderful read more

Thanks so much to everyone at Veterinary Emergency Group for your kindness and patience with me during a very difficult time.

I'm staying in Delray Beach for a month and my dog ingested something at the beach that was making him sick. I brought him here and was pleasantly surprised by the positive experience. My dog was taken right away - I didn't even sit in the waiting room. The whole staff was very nice to both me & my dog. Dr Perez was very pleasant, explained everything clearly and gave me medication & instructions. I highly recommend this clinic and would return here if necessary. read more

This emergency practice is great and I highly recommend it! My dog and I were treated like VIPs from the moment we walked in the door. My vet called in advance and the staff was expecting my dog and had a nice comfy cage waiting for him. They are transparent here ..... you can go in the treatment area and be with your pet as much as you want. Nothing is hidden. Very professional and great communication. Super clean. My dog was not distressed when I left him. This will be my go-to vet emergency service. Impressive organization. Friendly staff who truly care! read more

Took my newly adopted cat here with the sniffles and sneezing, due to the fact that it is the weekend and our primary vet was closed. Very caring and friendly staff, overall a great experience! They examined our cat, and turned out she was fine. No unnecessary medicine pushed or given, and ended up not even charging us! Thanks guys read more

We've taken our puppy here for two emergencies and have received exceptional care both times. All the vets and nurses are extremely knowledgeable and patient. They encourage you to check in or visit while your pet is staying there. Thank you VEG!! read more

I brought my Miss Tish to the group at 4 am. They let us sit near her as she was being examined. They were extremely friendly, competent, and took care of her quickly. They explained everything I needed to do to take care of her at home. If I ever need an emergency vet again, this is where I will go. read more

Bless the doctors and staff at this clinic! We came in with a ruptured tumor and they were all very caring and understanding (of me bawling my eyes out). They allow you to be "backstage" with your dog while they are running tests, etc., so you don't need to be separated from your dog in what is already a difficult situation. We eventually had to euthanize and they had a quiet, peaceful room. They got the IV in right away and then folded the exam table up so you could spend your last moments with your baby comfortably on the couch. The doctor left us for as long as we needed and then we could push a button to call her back when we were ready. It made a tragic situation a bit more bearable. I'm so glad I found them and didn't go anywhere else. read more

We first called the office and immediately spoke to Dr. Calhoun. We had a pregnant cat who had been laboring and laboring, we thought she might need a C-Section. We were told to come over right away. We were met at the door and our cat was taken to see the vet, no miles of paperwork or credit card first. The doctor came right out and told us our cat had delivered one kitten in her carrier. We were invited to stay at their office for the rest of the delivery. They gave us a private room, blanket, small towels for the kittens and the correct equipment to tie and cut the cords. The staff kept checking on our little family as our mother cat delivered four more babies. I show and raise cats and I am very educated on how to be a mid-wife for a pregnant cat. We were offered water and asked if we needed anything, numerous times during the entire delivery. At the end of our ordeal, about 3.5 hours later, we were packed up and ready to take our new family home with us. As we were checking out, we were told there would no charge, we almost thought we heard wrong, but the staff reiterated "there was no charge". We could not ave been more surprised or grateful for this unexpected happening. I would go out of my way to be sure all of my friends know how wonderful the doctors and staff are at this office. And I am hopeful that anyone reading this review use this hospital and find out personally how great this place is and how much these fine doctors and techs care about animals. read more

I have nothing negative to say about our experience. We came in due to our dog-hter Matilda consuming way too much salt water at the beach. We initially called and spoke to Olivia who took down our info and had us speak to the vet over the phone. We were advised to take her in so we did. When we got there we have them a call and walked our Matilda to the door where a vet tech came to greet her and take her on back. We waited in the car and received constant updates on Matilda. Dr. Gonzalez was so understanding and helpful, she provided the best care for Matilda; exploring every possible outcome and walking us through everything. Marina/Mariana was sooo helpful too. In short, everyone we encountered was extremely professional and concerned about Matilda. We were so happy with our experience, despite the circumstances. read more

We are just driving home from Pet PB with our chocolate Lab Rufus . He ate styrofoam earlier tonite along with a protein bar in foul, and pkg of peanut butter crackers. The styrofoam really concerned me. I think it was at least 2 cups ... The staff at Pet PB were professional & their actions showed how much they cared about our Rufus. We went out of our way to go to this emergency vet clinic & we were not disappointed . Thank you to all the staff! read more

Totally would recommend ! This place has been so kind on helping our family get our little Roxy better ! Roxy has been ill for a few days now and seemed like she was at her end , but the service and care she has been receiving while she's been here has helped her become more responsive again and I am so thankful read more

I thought my dog was having a stroke. I live around the corner from Calusa ER dog clinic but they are a rip off and would have charged me over $2000 just to see what was wrong with my dog. This happened once before and my bill was over a thousand dollars. My daughter works for a vet and works with VEG for orphaned dogs and told be to go there. I drove 15 minutes so my dog would get the best care. Long story short, my dog was stoned. They asked if the dog could have gotten into something and I said yes. They could have ordered blood, urine, x-rays, and fluids to tell me my dog was stoned but instead they did urine for the diagnosis. They could have ordered everything but told me nothing would change the outcome but to take her home until she became straight. Now, she is back to normal and thanks to VEG. It is refreshing to find a business that does not want to suck you dry and has morals and integrity to do what is right. Kudos to them. I would recommend them always. Thanks for helping Stella!!!!! read more

I took my cat here in an emergency where sadly he had to be put down. There was nothing that could of been done but put on end to his suffering. I'm thankful I had him for 12 great years. The staff was very nice, understanding and very helpful. read more

I accompanied my friends as they took their little yorkie for a re-check after a head injury. The place is incredible, just like a real human ER. They were very busy, but everybody was professional and caring. It was so helpful to be able to stay with your pet, so good for the pets. If, unfortunately, you have to bring your pets for emergency care, this is definitely the place. read more

Came Home to my beagle covered in blood and a bully stick half chewed with blood all over it. My first instinct was that she swallowed it whole, punctured her esophagus, then threw it back up. I tried to clean up as much as I could while finding the source of it, but could not see any outside wounds. I found this place by googling nearby Emergency animal hospitals, and picked the one with the best rating. When I arrived, the staff took immediate care of her. I went to the bathroom, and by the time I came back out they located the source of the bleeding from a bite mark on her tongue. They also noted a faint heart murmur, and two masses, both of which I was aware of, but it's still nice they did a thorough exam on her. Highly recommend this place! read more

My most recent experience was fantastic, as it has been each of the few times we've had to stop in. If you call and ask if your pet needs to be seen the doctor will give you their honest opinion, they won't just say "well if you're worried bring them in" when it isn't necessary, which I appreciate because emergency veterinary care can be expensive and stressful. Although, the pricing at VEG is also VERY fair so even if your pet does need to be seen the pricing is not astronomical. The vet tech who checked us in was awesome - she was so compassionate and kind and really went out of her way to ease my anxiety while I waited to see the doctor. I wish I could recall her name because she is truly such an incredible person. My dog was being seen for tremors and of course your dog randomly having tremors is very scary but she told me when I checked in that it was likely caused by a medication she was on (the vet concurred when he examined my dog) and not anything I should be super scared about, I needed that reassurance and appreciated her kindness tremendously. The vet, Dr. Pierce, was also great! He took his time assessing my dog and he was able to render an appropriate diagnosis and care plan without doing tons of extensive testing. He communicated his findings & care plan to me in a way that was easy to understand and eased my worries immediately. His care plan has been 100% effective thus far, consisting only of one medication that is very safe for dogs (and I was able to fill the prescription there which is so convenient as it was 1 AM on a weekday). I am so thankful to him for his attention to detail and his kind and friendly demeanor. My dog is often uncomfortable around vets (doesn't like being poked at much) but she was very comfortable with him and I'm sure she could sense his kind and gentle nature which helped her relax. The entire team is awesome any time we go and this visit was no different! And when your dog goes to see their normal vet, VEG has already sent the records which makes the continuation of care work seamlessly (I wish it was like this for humans lol!). I cannot thank the amazing individuals who work at VEG for their commitment to professionalism, kindness, and the accessibility they provide for emergency veterinary services. read more

we took our cat rex here after he jumped from a high place and got hurt. we were worried about him but they put us in ease as soon as we stepped through the door! a nurse was there to greet use and immediately took us to the back, it was a little jarring seeing all the other families there but to me it just shows their transparency and care. a bit pricey but we can look past it for our boy, i don't recommend many places but they are amazing and compassionate! read more

This place was amazing when I needed them. I had just rescued a neglected dog who had multiple problems. Bloody stools and vomiting brought me here late at night. I had a traumatic experience with a horrible vet in Boca and am still recovering from that experience. VEG and Dr Sanmarti changed that. He did a thorough exam and helped me with meds that I could administer with an uncooperative dog and took the time to show me personally. He diagnosed and treated her correctly. Very grateful for him and that VEG is in the neighborhood. I would not not hesitate to bring your loved animal here. read more

All around amazing care from skilled and caring doctors and nurses. I've been to other emergency animal hospitals in big cities and the experience at VEG was so much better. read more

This team of fantastic individuals saved my dogs life today. He invested some bad stuff, and the team helped to get it out. In addition, it was not nearly as much $ as I thought it was going to be. Big thanks to Dr Allie, Carly, Marina, Olivia, and Amanda. You all did excellent thanks so much. read more

Had an amazing experience during an emergency this weekend. My puppy goldendoodle ate a sock and needed surgery. The staff made sure I was comforted, informed, and with him at all times even when they took him back for X-rays and reviewed results in the back. I understand this company was just purchased so there are new procedures in place. I dont know how things went before but the fact that you see a Doctor within 5 minutes of arriving is unlike other Vet Hospitals I have been to. You usually wait an hour. Anyways, I highly recommend Dr. Butler and Dr. O'Hara if you get them, if not i'm sure everyone is great :) P.S. he didn't end up needing the surgery after they double and triple checked him to make sure the sock was moving through his system. Other vets probably would have suggesting going in without double checking. read more

Worst vet office!! They will take every dollar even if your animal isn't better. Vet was sweet but didn't really help. $700 later left with a sick dog that the next day went in for emergency surgery at another animal hospital. They put price tags on your animals and don't care to budge to help. Would never ever recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. Waited for over an hour for anyone to come In the room to help- then was stuck there for over 4 hours, while no one was in a rush to help my dog or let me know what was really going on. read more
