Brought my grandpuppy, Daisy, in after she yoinked a whole Costco oatmeal raisin cookie. Got her and my daughter right over to VEC, knowing that raisins (& grapes) can be deadly to dogs. She was triaged immediately by the kindest, caring staff. Will need blood panels done for the next 2 days to insure that her renal numbers remain normal. Thank You, Each and every one of you for taking such good care of our precious girl! You will always have a place in our hearts! It was one expensive cookie! read more

Oreo, my precious 7 yr cat, ate a small crocheted toy. Once we read that ingesting yarn was life threatening and could require surgery unless it was vomited out, we didn't bother with his regular vet and rushed him to VEG. We completed the online checkin enroute and when we got to the clinic, they were expecting us and right away got us a room and Oreo was treated in a fast, efficient, and caring professional way. From the receiving staff to the doctor(s) Oreo got the best care. Best of all, they successfully induced vomiting in a few minutes and avoided the worst case scenario! Their prices are fair and commensurate with the great quality of service they provided. The clinic itself was clean, modern, and spacious. Thank you, staff at VEG from Oreo and her loved ones!! read more

I have a HUGE rave for Veterinary Emergency Group! My mom has one of those dogs that's always getting into trouble, and as an emergency vet "regular," she's always told me to go to VEG if we need urgent help. On Saturday, I discovered my dog Callie had eaten a diaper out of an open trash can after she began to vomit up clumps of diaper fluff, and I called our regular vet, whose after-hours voicemail said to call VEG Lynnwood. I then remembered my mom's words and, feeling doubly reassured, called VEG. A triage specialist patiently walked me through their concerns for my pup by phone. When I expressed anxiety about the cost, she put me on the phone with a vet directly, who encouraged me to at least come in for a stomach ultrasound and promised to keep the total cost as low as possible, while gently doing her best to help me understand the level of risk. (Diaper contents absorb & expand; very risky.) I then brought Callie in to VEG Lynnwood, and was thoroughly amazed by the care we received. We were promptly checked in and triaged. Ten minutes after our arrival - just enough time for Callie to on their floor, and for them to be incredibly gracious about the mess - a vet had an ultrasound probe on her belly and was studying the results on the screen in real time. He presented me with a couple of different options he could offer me freely (!!!) while being extremely transparent about the likely outcomes. I could hardly believe what I was hearing and quickly agreed that yes, of course we could go straight to the option that would not be too expensive for the clinic and would most likely leave Callie just fine in the end. Minutes later, he was injecting Callie with something to make her vomit while we spread out a mat to catch it. (I understand now why this is such a different process from attempting to induce vomiting in a pet at home, and why you really do have to go in for it!) Once it was clear she'd emptied her stomach's contents, he reversed her nausea with a second injection and bandaged her up. He then walked me through what to expect over the next day and week, what to worry about/look out for... and sent us on our way, at no charge, barely a half-hour after we arrived. WOW!!! That same vet, a soft-spoken Irish-sounding gentleman whose name I didn't catch, did make sure I knew this would likely be a one-time thing and that I shouldn't expect future visits to be free again, but he was SO kind about it. He was clearly not trying to make me feel bad at all, just set an expectation. I also got a follow-up text the next day to check on Callie, who was and still is doing just fine after casually having her life saved. Thank you SO MUCH to VEG Lynnwood for being a team that clearly cares about the well-being of animals over profits, and about kindly and efficiently helping folks in need. I will always remember this experience and recommend you guys! read more

Everything, My 6 lb Chihuahua was in respiratory distress at 12:30 on a Saturday night. I put her in the car. I called the EG ahead of time and told them I was on my way when I walked in. They were ready to triage Cici, the ultrasound, her and immediately put her in oxygen. She never left my site. It was a long night, but they instilled confidence that she was being taken care of, and the fact that she never left my sight when she was being cared for was wonderful. I highly recommend them. read more

Spent total of 20 minutes there to induce vomiting after my dog ate one raisin. $610!!! Let's face it... they know you love your dog and will pay to save it but that amount of money is way out of line to charge. read more

The staff here was great. We got right in and the problem was identified immediately. I like their open concept and how we were able to be by our dog's side the whole time. We unfortunately had to put our sweet dog down but I really appreciated the privacy they gave us to grieve and the care and dignity they showed to us and our dog during this very difficult time. As we sat in the main area where others were they placed a privacy partition around us as we grieved and gave us lots of Kleenexes too! When it came time to put her down they had a nice soft lit room with couches for us so we could be with her in her last moments. They were very compassionate and sensitive and I appreciate that. read more

First visit was excellent, calming, and caring TEAM.. the teams are large, excellent and skilled at Triage- Second visit was stressful with negative vibes from a Different team - all I requested was a SPECIAL blood draw from my 11y/o Bernese .. (for a specific Cancer - test from a lab in France) as no American lab was detecting Histio- Sarcoma in my girl.. Test came back positive after she Died 2 weeks later from - 'multiple tumors' Facility was great.. Concept was positive .. people & pets together at All times.. except for x-rays You can view what is happening with other pet emergencies read more

The staff and doctors are absolutely incredible and so caring! Couldn't be more thankful to them all for everything they have done for us.

I thankfully did not need to go into this vet in person but I found their process very helpful! I wasn't sure if my dog needed an emergency vet and when I called in a vet got on the line and helped me walk through his symptoms and helped me determine if it was something urgent or something we could wait to visit with his regular vet. I appreciate that they were so helpful on the phone and able to help me decide what to do for my pup. read more

I brought my cat to this VEG seeking help during what turned out to be the final days of his life. We were at the clinic for over three hours, yet my cat only received approximately 15 minutes of direct care, which consisted of a blood draw and urine sample. The total bill for this visit was just under $900. During the majority of the visit, my cat remained in his crate next to me while we waited. He was urinating blood and was clearly in significant distress. Despite this, no IV fluids, pain medication, or other supportive care were provided while we waited for the test results. Given that the total bill for the visit was nearly $900, I expected more immediate medical support for a pet in this condition. It was heartbreaking. When the veterinarian finally came to speak with us, we were told that our cat was in advanced kidney failure. After discussing options, we made the difficult decision to bring him home and focus on keeping him comfortable. The veterinarian told us she would return to check us out. However, more than an hour passed with no update. Eventually a different staff member came over and informed us that the veterinarian had already left the clinic, and that she would handle the discharge. At no point were we informed that the doctor had left. Before leaving, this assistant attempted to show me how to administer subcutaneous fluids at home. The way this was handled was extremely concerning. The fluid bag, tubing, and supplies were placed directly on the floor, and I was instructed to hold my cat in my lap instead of using one of the available exam tables. Because my cat was understandably uncomfortable and moving, the needle went through his skin and out the other side, causing fluid to spray onto both of us. It was chaotic, messy, and very upsetting during an already emotional moment. To summarize the experience: * Over 3 hours spent at the clinic * Approximately 15 minutes of actual treatment (blood and urine testing only) * No supportive care provided to make my cat feel comfortable while waiting * Total bill of nearly $900 * Veterinarian left the clinic without informing us * Subcutaneous fluid training conducted with supplies on the floor with my cat on my lap rather than on an exam table Sadly, our cat passed away three and a half days later. Emergency veterinary visits are often some of the most difficult moments pet owners experience. In situations like this, quality care, clear communication, compassion, and professionalism are incredibly important. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. Because of this, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this clinic to others. read more

Came here for emergency services for my cat. The staff were lovely with meeting my cats needs and also respecting her little quirks. I went in at around 11PM and didn't get done until 2:30 AM, which is my only major complaint, other than the confusing way they go about payments and stuff for treatment. I was told someone would be by to talk to me and for me to fill out forms on a tablet but everything was sent to my phone and I wasn't aware of it because I had my phone in my purse. Otherwise, her treatment and treatment plan were pretty straight forward and staff did great at answering all my questions. read more

Had a really good experience bringing our kitten here for treatment in the middle of the night. The wait time was long because there were some dogs in worse condition that took priority. But overall the people were so compassionate, friendly, and trustworthy. I will always come back here for emergencies. I like the concept of the open floor plan. I think I prefer it, being able to watch them operate and know they are trying their best. read more

So massively thankful for Ani at VEG being such a kind human to me and for taking amazing care of my dog Jax. She went above and beyond to help me out of a tricky situation during a very hard week for me. All of the staff at VEG were extremely kind, empathetic and caring. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I called with a concern about my cat eating some gravy (contains onion and garlic). I was instantly able to chat with a vet, Dr. Rachel. She chatted with me about what to look out for and why coming immediately was not necessary. As well as the reasons garlic and onion can be dangerous in large amounts. It reassured me greatly! I would definitely recommend this vet, I appreciate their time in chatting with me about my concerns and their ability to give an honest opinion/advice. Great experience. read more

I called this veterinary clinic to confirm I had the right number, and the receptionist, whose name I believe was Dr Jodaniey , was extremely rude. After I asked a simple question, she dismissed me and hung up. All that I was doing is trying to get a vet that I can call because my Cat is going into labor, and I'm very worried. When I called back, she refused to give me her name or any reference number. As the call was stated to being recorded. I was just trying to get basic help, and this level of unprofessionalism was really disappointing. I hope management takes this seriously. read more

You hope that you never need this place but I think this is the best emergency vet that we've ever gone to. Very caring and kind doctors and staff, including the front desk/intake. They really seem like they know what they're doing, and truly care about your pet's well being and don't just view you as a number or a bill. I would definitely recommend them over the emergency department at the Animal Medical Center of Seattle located in Shoreline which I would recommend avoiding at all costs. read more

Everyone here is so skilled and caring, definitely the best emergency vets I've been to.

Meow! Our 11 year old cat is very sick at 2:30am. Waiting just isn't an option. VEG is open and will see him. We arrive and they immediately see him. X-ray, IV fluids, blood tests. Fast and efficient. Kind caring staff. Unable to diagnose. A day later at regular vet they gave enema It cleared a blockage and he is back to normal. read more

My dog ate a fleece puppy toy which she vomited up but continued to vomit all day long. Took her to VEG late in the evening, and the care we both received was OUTSTANDING!!! I knew she'd need xrays to see if there was an obstruction and it was iffy. They offered overnight stay with fluids or administer one bag of fluids and a Cerenia injection (spendy!!) - I chose option 2 and took her home. Came back in the a.m. for follow up xrays and all was good. This business model is absolutely the very BEST. You are treated like a person and involved in every decision and your animal receives excellent care. You are not stuck in a room wondering where the doctor is and your pet is not taken away from you. The night shift was exceptional from the person who greeted and signed in the pet to the doctor and techs. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Very friendly, understanding, compassionate, helpful staff. The best experience. Unfortunately its a little pricey, but i will still go back if any emergency arises with my pets. I would like to add: Dr. Heather Hastings recommended SEAVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL, was kind, even made an appointment. Unfortunately I wish she'd have recommended some other place. SEAVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL was one of my unpleasant veterinary experience When a recommendation is offered I wish they would research the facility unless they are working together. After 3 visits to SEAVIEW my cat was in need of help, not eating , lethargic, etc. etc. so i thought i will take it to SEAVIEW since they already had all the info , when i called i was told to take it to an emergency. Just to clarify it was not near closing time , it was 2:15-2:30 pm. So that makes me think that VEG is working together with SEAVIEW. read more

Grateful for their existence. Good people, seriously good people. So fed up with offices that are either closed on weekends or no walk in traffic. Does everyone else' pet get sick or injured by appointment, two three weeks out? read more

Extremely kind Vetenarian and staff. I brought my furbaby a month ago for GI issues and I was able to stay the 3 nights with him. Brittney deserves a medal for her kindness and compassion. Dr Ritchie was so kind as well as the other veterinarian. I had to bring Benedict in today for more probiotics and he remembered us and was so very kind. It is pricey for their hospital stay but the care and compassion is unparalleled. I see they truly care about our babies and us. I cannot thank you enough for them to work on thanksgiving and to us treat with such kindness. read more

My kitty Cedric found himself in a really rough spot after eating the wrong kind of grass, and getting a 6 inch blade of Sawgrass firmly embedded into the back of his nose and down his throat. He was really suffering and it was scary... The VEG team was so so amazing! Dr. Georgia and her team were super calm, and super straightforward as they helped figure out what was up with my kitty and how to manage it. They explained everything to me carefully and in detail, and they allowed me to stay with my kitty, even through the tricky bits. it ended up requiring full intubation and monitoring, but they successfully removed that demon piece of grass, and Cedric is back to his happy, feisty little self. It wasn't cheap, of course, but also was not as much as I worried it might've been. And it was absolutely worth it to get my kitty back to himself. Thank you so much VEG team! I'm singing your praises everywhere! read more

I have heard good things about this place, so I decided to take my dog here because it is also much closer to our home than the other ER vet we go to. I was not disappointed, they triaged us right when we walked in and made us feel comfortable. Our dog is very anxious so we were a bit nervous, they were so good with him. They gave us options on what to do, along with an estimate of how much it would cost, didn't feel pressured at all. I feel they gave our dog the best care and hopefully he is on the mend. read more

Our 15-year-old chihuahua mix Windy came into the ER with dangerously high glucose and we were immediately seen and admitted. The glucose levels tanked, and it was apparent that Windy was no longer responding to insulin. The doctors and staff were incredibly compassionate and tried a number of ideas. They explained options thoroughly and helped us reach our decision to finally let her go. The whole staff expressed sympathy as we went through the process and were so very gracious and caring. As much as the experience was gutting, we were treated so wonderfully. Thank you, VEG doctors, and staff. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! My dumb butt of a cat decided to swallow ribbon one night. I called three different emergency vets until I was transferred to them and boy am I glad I was. I drove my kitty there and they were the sweetest people ever. My anxiety was at an all time high worrying about my fur baby and their positive attitudes calmed me greatly. They induced vomiting for my kitty and even though it took a minute, they didn't give up and kept trying. To my surprise, they got her to vomit and ALL the ribbon came back. In this moment I was so incredibly grateful and couldn't stop thanking them. They were the most passionate, patient, positive, and intelligent group of emergency vet staff I've ever met. 10000/10 customer service! Of course in a way, I hope to never have to go back here again, but if I do, I'm definitely coming back. read more

When we noticed out cat breathing through his mouth at around 12 am we called this location to ask if this is an emergency. They said yes. We hurried him to the hospital, and even though we missed their call saying they were overwhelmed that night and referred us to another nearby location, when we arrived there were medical staff waiting for us with table and oxygen at the ready. They even opened the door for us and knew what this visit was about. Our cat underwent a procedure to drain fluid from around his lungs, and spent the weekend in an oxygen chamber recovering. We never felt pressured to put him to sleep or had any decisions forced on us. The chances of success were explained to us up front, and similarly the estimate for his care. Everything was done with utmost urgency and compassion. I've never been to a "human ER", but this response looked a grade above what I imagine humans go through. Everyone at the hospital was exceptional! Compassionate, and allowed us to visit our kitty as often as we needed. Even pulled out chairs for us to sit next to him. We saw other patients get treated with the same compassion. We got timely updates over the phone and text. They ran a comprehensive test panel with xrays, heart and liver ultrasound, blood work, and fluid analysis. In the end our boy was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. We don't know how much time we have left with him, but we are grateful for the care he received at VEG Lynnwood. He is currently back home, in good spirits, good energy levels, and healthy appetite. We have his medication and expect to care for him as long as it takes to increase his quality of life for what time he has remaining. We are glad we made the decision to bring him in, and to undergo the procedure that extended his life. I just want to say that during our time visiting our cat at this location we saw a lot of people come in. This is a busy, complex, and intense environment. The degree to which it is well orchestrated and managed is mind blowing. It runs like clockwork, better than any human hospital I've ever been to. The folks that work there - I can't imagine the stress, but we are sincerely grateful for you choosing to perform this necessary job with the level of commitment that you give to every patient! read more

In a word: amazing. We brought our pup here after a nasty bout of tummy troubles. Their care philosophy is open concept - you stay with your animal for their visit. Your pet isn't stressed by being separated from you, and vice versa. Everyone was incredibly kind to us and our doggo, the vet was thorough and kind, the techs were very caring and gentle even while my dog was trying to bite their fingers off. It is expensive, as most vet emergency care is, but well worth the care provided for our pup. read more

The staff here are exceptional, they all were so kind, informative and full of empathy. They assisted my cat, and not only made him (and me) feel better, but taught me how to give him shots, and were patient when I was nervous. When examining him, they were gentle and quick, and asked how involved I wanted to be. Nothing but gold stars and a grateful heart from me. Thank you. read more

Today is two month as our special dog Mia gained her wings. We were on vacation and our puppy who was diabetic got really sick. Her caregiver called her and rushed to ER. We understood we had very little time left and it was so hard to buy to my golden girl over the phone. My daughter and her friend were in town and our baby girl waited for them. Watching as she gaining her wings was so hard. I heard how compassionate staff was and did everything they can to comfort my daughter. Mia was very special dog who came to my life 8 years ago and today I am so sad, I miss her unconditional love but I know she is in better place without needles. Mia, you are so missed. I saw in my dream, you are yapping away in very special place. I love you my special girl. read more

I'm back again with my dog. They told me Kimi's wound needed a change of dressing every 2 days and the 2nd day was yesterday. My daughter and I came in; it was a Sunday. We waited 2 hours before the vet lady said our wait would be 4 to 6 hours after that. So we left without it changed. The vet said if we got here early they would have more time. I got up 6:15 so I could be here early enough. They immediately told me they have an hour they take to do rounds. (So far has consisted of them talking about patients.) I had told them what the other vet said yesterday and they don't care about that. I would prefer they give me a fresh dressing and I could clean and change it at home myself... read more

We came in with our little miss Penelope Piggy because she was having trouble breathing.

Today I had to do an awful thing, we found a poor sweet cat who'd been hit by a car and left to pass alone. We wanted to give him some dignity and have his body cremated but some of the places we contacted suggested throwing him out with the trash. But VEG was the light at the end of the tunnel - they took our sweet furry neighbor and now he is finally at peace. Their compassion was so reassuring and it's a great comfort to know that he was cared for, even if it was after his death. read more

Took my dog here late last night after he couldn't stop vomiting. Every single staff member was warm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. They were very thorough with my dog and recommended a future treatment plan along with specialists they would recommend. Additionally, it was heartwarming to see the staff working with other patients as well and seeing how kind they were with everyone who walked through the door. read more

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our beautiful cat down. The service was good and they seemed very supportive and caring. The bad taste in our mouth was left when they had prepared our cat for her final injection and before they did as we were sobbing said we needed to finalize the bill and the woman who was holding our cat wouldn't let us touch her until the payment was finalized. She was nice up until that point. Now, we aren't angry that they wanted to settle the bill, but we had been there for almost 6 hours at that point and had given them a credit it card, approved the charges, and selected the urn for our cat, so we were confused on what exactly needed to be finalized. She robbed us of a peaceful last few moments with our cat on something that should have and could have been addressed at any point during those many hours we spent there. I'm not exaggerating we were there for almost 6 hours. A younger tech was super sweet after learning about have to make the decision to put our cat down and I wish I could remember her name. We were a tad distraught. We did get the ashes back quickly and the company that did the cremation put together a beautiful certificate of cremation and ceramic paw print. When I went to pick her up I again was surprised and actually laughed at how disingenuous the woman who handed her to me and walked away while saying "oh yeah sorry for your loss" I understand that this was a very emotional time for us, so I might be a little sensitive, but I was down right fuming when the woman wouldn't let us touch our baby girl until we settled our bill, which we already thought we had by giving them a credit card and approving the charges hours before hand. Her entire tone changed and for that I want to prepare people. The service seemed good, but unfortunately the action of one woman destroyed our opinion of the place. read more

Highly Recommend this place, as soon as you walk in staff immediately makes you feel welcomed. Took my 11 month old puppy here and felt very comfortable with that care and urgency he was being treated. Dr. Brandy Cameron was very professional, explained in very much detailed every step she was taking and nurses and everyone involved with assisting her was very polite and showed cared for my dog. Besides the amazing treatment, this place is very clean constantly check on their patient but also the owners having snacks and drinks while you wait. Not your typical emergency room ! This place is set up to be next to your animal the whole time seeing what's going on making your animal feel better knowing you're there for them and making easier to provide the best care for them !! Thank you on behalf of Charley and our Family !!! read more
