My 8yo cat was presented for extreme aggression. Dr. Vasconcelos and her team handled her with such care and thorough examination. It was determined her back molar was completely infected and likely causing her so much pain. We were able to get her in to have the tooth removed the same week based on Dr. V's recommendation for a local cat hospital and now our kitty seems so happy/is acting her playful, silly, normally spicy self. Everyone here was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend VEG! read more

THANK YOU to the ENTIRE staff at this VEG location for saving my puppy Bruce Lee's life. I thought he was feeling sick because he had a little piece of banana but he actually tested positive for Parvo virus. I was absolutely horrified when I heard his diagnosis especially after losing my soul dog a couple of months prior. Angie at the front desk helped with my emotional roller coaster tremendously and so did every single person in this place. The Dr's and staff here truly care about your pet and do everything they can to help and get you through a terrible situation. I am beyond thankful for them all and I will forever be in debt to this place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my parvo puppy. God bless you ALL. Love, Bruce Lee's Mom read more

Expensive and long wait time but the doctor and assistants here were great! Thorough and helpful, friendly and empathetic to people whose animals were in need of help. (Including ours.) We came in to see if our furchild had a blockage, since her symptoms matched everything we read (diarrhea, vomiting, drooling, lethargy) they gave her an xray and said she looked fine, no parasites or anything like that, probably just picked up a stomach bug (whew.) They sent her home with some meds and an anti nausea shot. She seems better after taking a round of each; hoping she feels 100% better quick, because I'm tired of cleaning up diarrhea, washing bedding, and giving her baths lol. Highly recommend this pet er, it is clean and the staff is great! read more

This emergency vet is amazing. They are compassionate and thorough. We had the "misfortune" of having to go here twice. The first time, our 10 year old Pomeranian was in heart failure and they helped to move her on, over the rainbow bridge. It was the saddest day in my life but they made it somewhat bearable with their understanding and compassion. They explained our options well and we were able to make the best decision for our baby. The second time, our new Pomeranian puppy seemed lethargic and different to us so we brought her in and found out she was just really tired. Talk about over protective dog parents! But, they didn't give us any grief over being dog Karen's or anything. We love this emergency vet and wish they could be a regular vet for our new fur baby, Ami. read more

As I settled in for the evening to brew some tea, I failed to take into consideration the possibility of my cat running across the stovetop. As I entered the kitchen and locked eyes with the cat, it was one of those moments where you know it's all going to go wrong. Sure enough, he gets spooked and stomps right onto an electric burner. After some language I won't mention here, I found the cat cowering under the bed. His back paw was severely burnt, so I placed a call to the ER vet. Now, in years past, VECC pretty much had a monopoly on 24/7 animal care, and I've unfortunately had to make trips there over the years, but this place is superior. While I'm sure VECC would have provided the same care, they are more transactional, whereas VEG is more compassionate and transparent (literally). I was able to fill out the intake information prior to my arrival, so the moment I walked in, they knew who I was and why I was there. Dr. Swire quickly took the case and put together a plan of action. While a burnt paw wasn't necessarily the highest priority of the evening, the doctor, nurse, and tech all made time to visit and keep me updated on the process. All the while, I had my cat by my side keeping him calm in a strange environment, whereas most vets take the cat away and leave you wondering. Finally, the time came and he was whisked to the operating table. Luckily for the little guy, he has limited feeling in his hind legs to a neurological condition, so the team was able to shave off the burnt fur and dress his wounds with no fuss. Overall, I'm glad this place has opened up. Of course, it's never really a place you want to find yourself, but if you have to decide between this emergency vet, or the other mentioned above, this is the one to come to. read more

The best and amazing people work there. Professional, compassionate, they really care about your companion.

We brought our dog into VEG because he was clearly in serious pain refusing to walk, rolling onto his back, and crying anytime he tried to move. Not exactly a minor issue you wait out at home. Since this is one of the only 24hr vets in the area, we came in expecting urgency, professionalism, and actual answers. Instead, it felt more like a very expensive guessing game. Before anything else, I have to say the nurses were AMAZING. Every single one of them was kind, attentive, and consistently checked on us during the four hours we were there. They showed genuine care and compassion, and honestly, they were the only part of this experience that felt reassuring. At one point we were half expecting (and honestly hoping) one of them would come in and say they were taking over. Now for Dr. Vasconcelos. After four hours and nearly $1,000 later, the answer we got was "I'm not sure." This was after X rays were taken (and sent out to a radiologist, not even onsite) and a suggestion that maybe we should see an orthopedic specialist. So essentially, we paid emergency pricing to end up exactly where we started....just with less money... But the moment that really took this from frustrating to unbelievable was when Dr. Vasconcelos said "Well, you guys were sitting here for 4 hours, what do you think?" I genuinely thought she was joking at first. Unfortunately, she wasn't. That comment alone pretty much summed up the entire experience. We were there because we didn't know what was wrong. Asking us to weigh in after four hours of waiting felt less like medical care and more like we accidentally signed up for a group project we weren't qualified to be in. The visit ended with what felt like a last-minute spine check, only to circle right back to....you guessed it....not sure. At that point, it didn't feel like a diagnosis so much as a very expensive shrug. So to recap: four hours, a very distressed dog, a $1,000 bill, and we left with medication and zero clarity. I've had more decisive conversations with a Magic 8 Ball..and at least that commits to an answer and is 10$. For a brand new facility in Summerlin, it's honestly surprising how limited the resources and decisiveness felt. Our regular vet on Rancho has managed to take X rays and give clear answers in a fraction of the time....no suspense, no guessing, no audience participation required. We rely on emergency vets in situations like this, and unfortunately this experience fell way short. The nurses were incredible and deserve all the credit, they are clearly the backbone of that place. I just wish the same could be said for the doctor. Safe to say we won't be returning, wish I still had my 1000$. read more

Everything went so well!! I finally got a diagnosis of what was wrong with my beloved dog!! After 2or more visits to the regular vet and No answers ..Thankyou for this I was so stressed!! She now has had her TPLO operation and on the mend she can now walk again!! Im so grateful to the docter there!! It changed everything !! read more

My wife and I did not know that on Sunday 9/28 we would be saying goodbye to our loyal and beloved dog THOR. In the late afternoon THOR had a major stroke. We rushed him to the Veterinary Emergency Group on Rampart. Upon arrival, the team quickly responded by transporting THOR from our vehicle into the facility. They were prompt, supportive, attentive and most importantly, loving during a moment of absolute emotional upheaval..... It quickly became clear that due to neurological concerns that this would be THOR's final day with us. We made a very tough, but responsible and loving decision to "let him go quietly into that good night." It is important to note that I spent a large part of my career working with animals within local municipalities. In my experience, the team at Veterinary Emergency Group was among the most professional I have ever experienced. The genuine care they showed us and our THOR was top notch throughout this very tough process. From the veterinary care, to euthanasia and cremation, the entire process was flawless and made us feel special. West Coast Pet Memorial Services is where they sent THOR to be cremated. They too treated us very well and kept us informed through every step. This is indeed a very sad time for us. We are grateful that Veterinary Emergency Group was there for us. We are forever grateful and from the bottom of our hearts thank you. Well done team. Truly, well done. Scott & Gina and of course THOR read more

VEG experience during a stressful time is extraordinary. Teams are competent, effort is well coordinated. The model of not taking pets to a back room is amazing. The transparency of care is an opportunity to be part of the process and allows family to help reduce stress for their beloved furry family member. I wish this model was more widely utilized. I can't thank VEG enough for their help to my family at a difficult time. read more

My poor guy had a reaction to some vaccines, I didn't need to take my dog in (luckily) but the staff was so nice and giving generous advice to ensure I monitor his condition closey with the doctors advice. Such lovely interactions with people I luckily never needed to encounter, I will keep this spot in my heart if any of my or my friends pets fall ill unexpectedly! read more

We came here with our parents for their family dog that had been experiencing breathing problems and not eating. The staff here is attentive and compassionate. Ultimately, x-rays showed that her cancer had spread and was making it difficult for her to breathe. The doctor on staff did not try to sugar coat the serious situation, but delivered the news with the utmost empathy. The open floor plan here allows you to stay with your pets during their last moments. I literally am writing this with tears in my eyes knowing that their pup was able to see her people the entire time and not be taken to "the back," where all the unknown and scary things happen. I can't thank you guys enough for bringing peace to such a good pup. read more

Had to bring my Coco to VEG due to possible hip and back injury. I chose this place again since they treated us so great the year before due to another emergency. Coco was very anxious at today's visit, but Dr Hagan and the team did amazing in trying to help her feel safe and even provided her with a yummy treat. They were very comprehensive in their examination and provided in depth explanation on her treatment. Definitely my #1 choice for animal ER visits! read more

Veterinary Emergency Group is truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the staff was compassionate, professional, and treated our pet like family. After visiting our regular veterinary office and not getting a clear diagnosis, Veterinary Emergency Group was able to quickly pinpoint what was wrong. Their accuracy and attention to detail immediately gave us confidence that our pet was in the right hands. They perform diagnostic testing in-house, which made a huge difference in getting answers fast and starting proper treatment right away. Another thing that really stood out is their policy--if your pet needs to return within 24 hours, there is no additional exam fee. That level of care and consideration for both pets and their owners is rare and truly appreciated. If you ever find yourself in need of emergency veterinary care, I cannot recommend Veterinary Emergency Group enough. Their compassion, transparency, and professionalism set the standard for what emergency care should be. read more

I called in a panic one day because my dog was sick. I had met them at a dog festival in Desert breeze Park so I knew the number to call. It isn't very helpful when you are in a panic. But They kept me calm over the phone and talked me out of my panic. Instead of just forcing me to come in, they gave me the option of speaking to the vet directly. She was able to assist me over the phone and advised that it was not necessary for my dog to come in that night that it could just be monitored. So I really appreciated that since I know these things can be costly. I so appreciated that she was able to speak with me over the phone and not just force me to come in and pay for a visit he didn't need. So thank you very much! In an emergency I highly recommend here as they show true compassion and care read more

This was my best emergency visit ever. It is open concept and you get to stay with your pet while they are working on it. You don't get shoved in a room while they take your pet away and you don't know what is happening. its was so amazing. I wish they were a regular everyday vet as well. The staff was so amazing and so helpful and so kind. I cannot say enough. If we need an emergency vet again, we will go here. read more

The staff is incredible! Everyone is very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I very much recommend this hospital. 10/10

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. From the time I stepped out my car, in the parking lot I was welcomed by the medical staff. As soon as I walked in I felt like everyone knew us & they took care of my baby right away. Everyone was so knowledgeable & they walked me thru every step of treatment for my baby. I am so grateful to have found this place. Dr Katherine (or Catherine) is THAT GIRL! read more

We're new to being cat parents and had zero idea what to expect when our cat son, Ashton, suddenly needed emergency care. We called around to a bunch of places, but the Veterinary Emergency Group won us over before we even walked in the door, we called so many places and their phone manners were so genuine and kind that we were like, yep, this is the spot. Pricing was about the same as everywhere else, but the difference is in the vibe. Ashton wasn't just "a cat in room 3." He was the main character. They called him by name, treated him like royalty, and honestly, I think he enjoyed the attention. They try to make it as least traumatic as possible. They got us in right away, made Ashton comfortable, gave him pain meds and antibiotics, and explained the next steps super clearly. They even made us feel like we weren't completely failing as new cat parents (which was a big win). They gave us a treatment plan for his dental issues and mouth infection and provided us a list of local options to seek additional care. Bottom line: they care about the fur babies AND the anxious humans attached to them. We left feeling grateful we found a team with both compassion and a sense of humor. Highly recommend! read more

Our dog was having breathing problems this morning so at 5:30AM we rushed to VEG in Boca Park. Our experience was unbelievable. I have never met a more caring and competent group of people in all the years that we've had pets. I am so thankful they were available in our time of need and if you live near this area and need an emergency vet (I hope you never do) I highly recommend using VEG Boca Park. If they are reading this, I have no words to express how grateful we are for your care today. You made the worst day in the world so much easier than you will ever know. Thank you from Bob and Lisa Egan read more

I'm writing this review while I'm in the waiting room. Currently, my husband and I are the only people in the waiting room. While we were there we saw a total of 2 others come in. Don't bring your dog if you're looking for quick "emergency" services. I brought my dog in because she was peeing blood and this places was quick to take my money but that's about all they care about. When we complained about how long it was taking, one of the nurses came and explained that setting up syringes and x-rays and my dog's treatment plan was taking a long time. Excuse me? Shouldn't all this be ready since it's an EMERGENCY room?! When we asked for a refund, the vet still wanted to charge us for a "checkup". The "checkup" consisted of taking my dog's weight and listening to her heart. Pretty useless place. Something else I forgot to mention that rubbed us the wrong way. A family was struggling in to bring their Great Dane inside and we overheard one of the nurses saying "If they want to carry their dog across the parking lot, then that's their choice". Considering the dog was gonna be put down, that's pretty callous. Kristen was great though, thank you for trying to get us seen! read more

This office is absolutely amazing! We brought our barely one-year-old kitten in due to rapid breathing and panting. We were seen immediately and taken into a room, with the vet (the amazing Dr. Hahn!) coming in right away. Everything was explained thoroughly and in detail, with no rushing. While we were waiting, other emergencies came in, making our wait a little longer than planned, but we were never left alone for long, with someone making sure Olivia was doing well and checking on us. The only time we weren't able to remain with our Olivia was when they took her for X-rays. Cyle (nurse/vet tech) and all of the other staff were absolutely extraordinary. We were luckily able to bring Olivia home within a couple of hours, with great aftercare instructions. If we ever need another emergency vet visit, VEG will be the place we go. read more

Veterinary Emergency Group was amazing and would highly recommend them for an after hours/emergency treatment for your pets. From the minute you enter the door, they begin triage and the whole team works with you and your pet. They explain everything to you as a pet parent which is so important when you're trying to understand and make decisions under stressful circumstances. read more

I haven't even been to this place yet and I will not go! After reading the many 1 star reviews its really very disappointing. I have a 6 toed kitten with an ingrown toenail..not really an emergency but I just realized it after 5pm and was going to bring her there, not now! I always read reviews first. Super Disappointing read more

This is my second time bringing my dog into an ER vet center late at night. My first time was at a different location and the experience was very different from this center. I'm really happy I chose this place last night to bring my dog in. The Dr and tech were really warm and comforting. I had a lot of questions and they answered it all. The place is spacious and everything is out in the open. I appreciate that I was able to be near my dog at every moment from getting blood drawn, to getting fluids, or him being in their oxygen chamber. For x-rays there is a door with glass window that you can watch. Although my dog is still not feeling well, I'm sure this place did all that they can to make him feel better. read more

Our Experience at VEG Rampart We brought our dog Torrey to the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) on Rampart in late April after she vomited a few times. Within 24 hours she had died there. What was most heartbreaking was sitting with her through the final 12 hours as she struggled to breathe. Her oxygen saturation dropped to 78%, and she panted heavily the entire night. I repeatedly asked the attending veterinarian to lower her IV fluid rate, because excessive panting in a renal-compromised patient is a known sign of fluid overload. Despite my pleas--backed by credible sources--the vet refused to adjust the fluids or even listen to Torrey's lungs during that time. Her only response, minutes before Torrey passed, was that she would "think about it." I am devastated because I believe Torrey's death could have been prevented if basic standards of care had been followed. Beyond our personal loss, I worry about the quality of care being provided at this facility and the number of pet deaths occurring there. I share this so other pet owners are aware and can make an informed decision in an emergency. read more

Had to put my dog down at approximately 4am. They were the only ones open in the area. Definitely not the cheapest but given the circumstances, necessary. Very nice ladies and very caring. Given the circumstances they did everything they could to make my dog comfortable even though it was screaming with dementia. Entire process was quick and I appreciate what these ladies have to do because I know I can't. I would absolutely recommend them for your pet medical needs. read more

On 9/13/25 I took a sweet rescue dog in that I had on an outing - I had 2 dogs out, it was warm, but we were all fine including the other dog, this dog was NOT and we since know he has a low heat tolerance. He had heat stroke, my 1st and hopefully last time experiencing this, I am always so careful, plenty of water, etc. Within 1 minute of arriving here, he was rushed in on the gurney and getting cooled off and all staff were working on him. I didn't love the vet or her bedside manner, but did like the rest of the staff including the head "vet tech" in charge. The after shift-change vet I really liked, too. He did not require an overnight and thankfully he was OK! I REALLY liked the open concept, a first for me, so I could be with the dog the entire time. I HOPE I never have to come back to the vet ER again, but if I did I would definitely come back here! THANK YOU for saving this doggy! read more

Amazing caring staff. I want to thank you for helping me with my dog last night. I came in at midnight half panicked, half dressed with my dog. Without missing a beat you saw him right away. Unfortunately Buddy had passed but you were so kind to assess his passing and offer kind words and thoughts. The perfect words to allow me to let him go. You even wrapped Buddy in towels to let me grieve on my own. I can't thank you enough. I had to leave town but when I come back I will thank you in person. I would be so honored to have any future dogs cared for by you in the future. read more

I was incredibly impressed and thankful for the folks at VEG. They really love and care for your animals. We were seen right away and given a treatment plan shortly after. While we waited in one of the lounge areas for them to set up, the doctor put up a little gate so Libi could roam freely instead of being held by her leash. I've never been to an "open concept" vet and didn't know they exist, but I got to stay with my dog the entire time as they treated her. This gave me comfort because I could see she was in good hands, and I definitely think it made the process better for my pup. The doctors and nurses here were professional, caring, and skilled. They explained each part of the procedure and allowed me to pet my dog to comfort her throughout. I really can't express enough how thankful I was to be at a place like this during a tough situation for my girl (torn toenail). Hope you never have to go to the emergency vet, but if you do, go here! read more

They saved my dogs life! Emergency vet care is known to be pricey, but I believe the office visit itself was $175, while the other hospital in the same shopping center I was quoted $250-500 just to see the doctor. Everyone was really kind to me, and kept me calm which I really appreciated. It was such a scary day for me and I am so glad I live close by. read more

This week was my first time here and I came because my sister told me about VEG. I came here Monday early morning just before 7am because my dog got stung by a bee and she was starting to get an allergic reaction. They looked like they were fully staffed and they assisted me right away. They looked at her gums, where she was stung, checked her breathing and then told me the 2 shots they were going to give her. They told me they were going to get a quote for me and basically you need to pay before they can do anything. I will say that, for whatever reason they took a little too long to administer the drugs to her. I think I sat down for about 20-25 minutes before they actually administered the shots to her. Another thing I didn't really care for was that they do not use a fear- free method so when they were going to give my dog the steroid shot, she literally freaked out. It took three people to get her still enough to give her the shot and all the time I've had my dog I've never seen her that scared. So after this experience I'd say that this area definitely needs improvement but the experience as a whole was a good one. I'd recommend VEG if you live in the summerlin area and need quick care for your pet. Thanks VEG for taking care of my puppy. read more

Want to start this review off with the only positive: Kristen, one of the nurses, was quick to triage both our ailing dog and ourselves (my wife and I were pretty stressed out about our 16 year old Malti-Poo peeing blood so suddenly). Now let's list out the negatives: although the doctor checked out our dog and provided a treatment plan within 10 minutes, no treatment was provided for going on 40 minutes after that. The doctor said our dog would be given a pain relief medication upon payment to help alleviate our dog's pain and anxiety. That medication never came, despite us paying immediately. The price was substantial, which is understandable considering we're looking for quick, emergency services. However, the money was taken and the quick, emergency services were never provided. When we asked what was taking so long, they gave a bunch of excuses: "there's more critical cases than yours" (wow, didn't know a dog peeing blood wasn't critical), "setting up syringes and X-rays take time" (wow, didn't know a place that's supposedly open 24/7 for emergency situations wouldn't have x ray machines and blood work kits set up in advance), "emergency places typically take 3-4 hours in servicing an animal, while normal clinics can take 24-48 hours" (I've been to plenty of emergency/non-emergency places where my dog's been seen and treated within the hour), "we're shorthanded and need hands to treat your dog" (plenty of nurses milling around, gabbing about their customers and personal lives, all the while me and and my wife are a few feet away). Honestly, seemed like racial discrimination since the customers with the "critical" cases seen before us were white and we're clearly not. Even after we asked the nurse two times to see what the update was, the doctor never came to talk to us until after we complained. At that time, the doctor came over to explain how she has other cases and other hospitals would take longer, all the while, not caring about my dog. Don't spend your money here if you care about your pet. Look for a place that actually wants to help. read more

I've just had the scariest moment of my life. My dog had an allergic reaction to a spider bite and her throat was closing, it was a life threatening situation. As soon as we pulled up we were met at the door. They pulled up an ultra sound and immediately brought out shots to give her. I've never in my life seen people care this much about dogs. 10/10 recommended i'm so blessed to have come across these 4 people: Cinthia, Morgan, Kaitlyn, and Julissa were absolute ANGELS. Thank you for saving my baby girl she is so much better and I couldn't be happier. They played with her while we waited , monitored her, and showed her so much love. This place is truly one of a kind. read more

These were the most honest vets and staff I think I could ever have dealt with. We had been a few veterinary hospitals for help , my English bulldog was ultimately going to need to be sent to heaven and I can't imagine doing at any other place. Cost was nearly the same as every else to do everything but they gave me and my family all the time we needed (which is never enough) to say goodbye and treated us and her with dignity and respect. We are still mourning but they have been patient and kind I highly recommend . read more
