Fast. Calm. Good vibes. Handled an urgent cat issue successfully at 2am when other vet ER was difficult.

I can't say enough good things about VEG. Brought our diabetic cat in at 10pm on a Sunday night. He received immediate, attentive care and thorough blood work. They monitored him overnight. Unfortunately the decision was made to euthanize him the next afternoon as the most compassionate thing we could do for him tho it caused us great grief. Dr MIRNA TOPIC is probably the best Vet I have ever dealt with in my decades of pet ownership. Her knowledge, empathy, and compassion were so comforting. She took an amazing amount of time to explain our cat's medical conditions and all possible treatments and possible outcomes. The euthanasia process is so difficult but the gentleness with the way the process unfolded under her care was comforting. Yes, veterinary emergency care is expensive but so isn't the ER at Swedish! Thank you so much. read more

10 minutes away. Will use again. But the Dr definitely makes a difference Took our senior kitty in after a suspected stroke. The awful Dr - aka Dr. Death - emphasized the need for euthanasia. Made my daughter sob uncontrollably in front of other clients and lacked bedside manner. Claimed our cat was dehydrated 6 hours after we arrived during which time he was never offered food or water yet was given an IV catheter immediately after arrival and placed in a cage with a saline bag unattached outside his cage. Did I mention Dr Death offered up that his own cat was put down at the age of 10? 0/10 stars for him. On the other hand, our original Dr - Dr Edwards - had two cats that lived to be over 20. She continued to talk thru our cat's condition long after her shift had ended. And side note - thank god because Dr Death was well on his way to talking up the joys of euthanasia until Dr Edwards jumped back into the conversation. Our cat is still very much alive and thriving for a senior kitty despite Dr. Death's best efforts. They were, however, amazing when I brought in my dog. Totally depends on the vet and staff there when you are. read more

I brought my cat in for urinary issues and she was seen immediately. Our main doctor was Dr. Katie Pruett and she treated both me and my cat with so much kindness and respect. The office was also very transparent about the entire process and told me the cost of each procedure before moving forward with anything. I had a great experience and my cat was calmer here than she's been at any past vet visits. read more

First of all I've been to pet ER tens of times for work reasons so I have some idea of what to expect. We brought our sick cat here last night. Their flow of putting you in a room with your animal immediately is pretty nice. Time it takes for Vet tech visit - doctor visit were also the fastest I've seen. (Granted we had the only animal in the building but still) however, once the doctor saw our cat, and said "we should do an X-ray, I'll send you to the estimate" and left that's when things broke. We were sent a $1300 estimate and left in the room until we pay it for anything to go forward, including talking to the vet. That by itself feels like a very high pressure sales tactic. Shouldn't we able to discuss what's absolutely necessary in that moment and what can be done at a regular clinic when they open tomorrow? Or what items from this invoice and more likely to diagnose without the others? Our options in that moment were stay in this room until you pay or well, I don't know what else. read more

We went in with our dying dog and the care was competent, compassionate and concerned. We were so sad and felt that Dr. Willis and her team really heard our grief and needs. We were as cared for as our pet, and they helped us in the last stage of her life and death as professionally as they could. We are very grateful and happy to recommend them to others. read more

Veterinary Emergency Group - our dog Coco in better days. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Visited for our dog who had had a stroke in the night. Entire staff was exceptionally caring and courteous, treated all members of the family with respect and kindness. While our outcome was not what we wished, we were glad that our girl was in such capable hands and that her passing was so peaceful. read more

This clinic wanted to put my dog down. A year ago, my teacup chihuahua, Felix, was seen here. He developed CHF. He was given lasix and put on oxygen. After a half day stay at the hospital, we were given a sales pitch about euthanasia and cremation. We repeatedly said no, and asked that they give us some lasix (furosemide) to take home with us. They refused. We left anyway, and took Felix to a different clinic that did write a prescription and let us take a bottle of furosemide home. A year later he is still alive and thriving. Stay away from this place during an emergency unless you want to get a sales pitch for euthanasia. read more

My experience today at Veterinary Emergency Group was the best I've ever had at any vet in the 23 years I've lived in Seattle. I called with a sick elderly hamster - she had a prolapsed bowel and was suffering. They were so compassionate and very responsive. I brought her in right away and knew we needed to end her life. It was a difficult decision for me and emotional- she was over three years old and well loved as a class pet. The nurse that took me in was so kind and reassuring - and the doctor saw me in less than 20 minutes. The pricing was completely fair and reasonable- they didn't charge me lots of fees. I was not taken advantage of - this is a place I can trust and I'm so glad they are in our community. They let my little hamster have an end of life with dignity and kindness. I highly recommend them for your pet emergencies and needs. read more

I brought my poor kitty here after he walked across a hot stove and they had me checked in before i even got there. I walked right in and was in a room within a minute. Dr.Runte was incredible, explained everything and was very quick in getting him pain meds and a treatment plan. The vet tech Beka (i think the spelling is right) was such an angel and so sweet with my cat. 10/10 will go back and I'm so glad i found this place! read more

We had such an amazing experience at VEG! My dog suddenly had drooling and vomiting that made me concerned he may have eaten a foreign object. The docs and nurses at VEG were quick and helpful. They did all of the right things and kept us informed every step of the way. The best part is that they allow pet parents to stay with their animals through every assessment. We are so happy to have them in our neighborhood. read more

No stars, we brought our dog in and she was killed because of a procedure done. They sent us home after charging $700.00 plus dollars and she went down hill quickly from sepsis. We brought her back and they realized what happened and sent us to a surgeon who charged $5,000.00 for a surgery that was never going to save her. Today we get a bill for $1,225.35 for the second visit on the same day. Thanks for nothing.... read more

We brought our dog here late on a Monday night when he was struggling to breathe. They took us in quickly and Dr. Willis gave a very clear assessment of our dog's status and suggested treatment options. We were moved to a private room where they proceeded to complete a blood test and put in an IV for antibiotics. They let us pay online at the end of his treatment, so we were able to take him home within two hours of our original arrival. Their staff was very calm, polite, and professional. We are so grateful for their services and highly recommend them if your pet is in need! read more

I just brought my dog to this location the morning - the entire staff was amazing! They immediately brought me and my dog to the treatment area and quickly saw a diagnosed my dog's eye issue. I couldn't imagine a better experience - especially since it was a 4:30AM! I'd really love to thank Dr. Dubreuil and the vet tech Audrey for making what could have been a rough time extremely professional and comforting. read more

The most earned five stars I have ever given. A couple nights ago our dog Guppy was vomiting up insane amounts, having trouble standing/walking, had a distended stomach, and was refusing to eat. None of the vets in our neighborhood were open/accepting more patients and our usual vet office was closed. My boyfriend and I were panicked. VEG was one of the only emergency vets open at the time. They have a phone line you can call and talk to a doctor about your pet's symptoms so they can determine whether or not you need to take them into the ER; they were very quick to respond. The vet was very kind and calm on the phone. Since our car was at the mechanic and we had no way to get our dog there, the vet even offered to send us an uber. When we arrived, they brought us back right away. They have an open floor plan with lots of comfortable benches for owners to sit on and will bring a bed and blanket for your pet to stay comfortable. It is so clean and high tech.The doctor got to us really quickly despite it looking like a fairly busy night. All the staff was so kind to both us and our dog and did a great job calming everyone's nerves. They even let us watch through the door while they did x-rays on our dog so that we could be with her the whole time. While we waited, they offered us drinks and snacks (they've got a great selection in the lobby including coffee and capri sun and doritos . . . which is the perfect stress food lol). The vet and techs did a great job of explaining everything to us so that we left feeling confident about the treatment of our dog going forward and encouraged us to call back if we had any questions. I immediately recommended them to every one of our pet owner friends once we returned home. I am so thankful they were there when we needed someone most. Thank you VEG! read more

Veterinary Emergency Group - Resting after a late night at the ER. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They really were so helpful. Recommend! I came after a crappy ER visit somewhere else bc I was worried my dog was breathing so weirdly he'd die overnight. The vet talked to me on the phone when I called and did not seem cagey and afraid in that legally fearful way doctors can be and was super clear about what might be involved and what he could have. It was shockingly refreshing. Then when I got there Dr Davies assessed my dog and ruled out poisoning and severe infection. The staff was helpful and kind. I left thinking my dog was going to be ok and not die. Got to stay with my dog as needed too. Priced everything up front! read more

Professional and caring. So appreciated the care and never being separated from our dog. Thank you so much to this group. Hoping not to have need for return but will without hesitation. read more

Please please please consider bringing your animal here if they are ill. The VEG team is incredibly compassionate, professional, and transparent with their care delivery. I was able to stay with my beloved 19yo the entire visit. Unfortunately, she was too sick to save but they allowed for a peaceful transition. I am so incredibly thankful for the care they provided. read more

Thank you for being exactly what we needed on Sunday for Bento. Friendly, fast and caring. Well versed and knowledgeable. And shout out to Dr. Pamela Edwards and team. Thank you read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Our sweet dog deteriorated quickly and we brought him in to this VEG location. Every one of the staff was extremely helpful and kind. The Dr. on duty was the best of all and she handled the situation with professionalism and compassion. We had to euthanize our precious boy and the whole staff could not have been kinder and more patient. I can't recommend this 24hr Vet group high enough. Thank you to all the staff for helping us through this tough time. read more

Our 110lb Mastiff passed after 7pm in early February. Sable was 11yrs old. We stayed on the floor with her for some time after she was gone and realized that we couldn't move her. We are senior citizens and couldn't lift her and only had a small rental car that doesn't allow pets. By this time, she was becoming unpleasent to have in the living room. My Veterinarian office wasn't able to help other than to offer suggestions of others who might help. It took about an hour following suggestion after suggestion that led me to VEG Lynnwood. It's not their usual procedure, but three wonderful ladies came and took Sable to a group cremation and sent use a paw print. We were so thankful that someone cared enough to help us in this emotional and dire situation! read more

We had to take our kitty here after he had difficulty walking and appeared to be in pain. Luckily for him, it was just an acute sprain and he has since healed up 100%. The staff at VEG were amazing. It was so busy when we went--the place was full and there were many still waiting to be seen in the treatment area. We were told it would be awhile when we checked in and understood (it took about 2 hours or so all told), they triaged the sickest/severely injured to be seen immediately...for example, we saw a poor dog receiving CPR. This is a true animal hospital--so keep this in mind if you have to wait. As such and because of the open concept of the treatment area, you may see animals in pain or injured and your pet will be seen in order of the sickest to least sick. I can't say enough about how caring the vet was who treated our baby--she did a complete and thorough exam and was so caring. We would definitely go back if another emergency presented itself. Without hesitation. Thank you for everything you do. read more

My dog a standard poodle was severely bitten by a Carne Corso Italian mastiff at the Bothell pop-up dog park this last summer. I realized my dog had been severely bitten after the bleeding soaked through his thick hair. I took my dog to veterinary emergency group in Redmond about 8 PM that night. They immediately took him in and evaluated and operated on my dogs hind ankle. I was very pleased with the treatment my dog and I receive from the staff and surgeon during the process of about four hours. After five stitches, surgery, medication and about a month recovery my dog is back to normal and jumping and howling about in happiness at local dog parks. Thanks to VEG. My dear companion can walk, run and jump on all four paws again. read more

Absolutely wonderful staff- kind, empathetic, transparent, attentive. We had to say goodbye to our precious little dog- it was horrible- and they cried with us. They did whatever they could to make us feel comfortable. They even gave us a room to ourselves and our family to say bye to our baby. Thank you VEG for everything!!! read more

The staff was kind and caring when our beloved dog of 16 years was in crisis. They comforted us, provided us with blankets, a clean quiet space, calmed our dog, and talked us through our options. They explained every step of the process and were transparent with the costs. Everyone there really cared about us and our girl. They helped us through our challenging time. read more

I can't say enough good things about this emergency clinic. I have been there 3 times in 2024, and everyone is so kind and caring. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel supported, seen, and heard. And the care given to my cats is always excellent. The veterinarians that I have seen here - Dr. Jenny Ladd and Dr. Kelsey Roberts - were two of the nicest vets I have honestly ever met, and I've been taking pets to the vet for decades. The technicians and receptionists are amazing too, just so much care goes into every interaction. The facility is really clean and feels state of the art. The parking is fantastic. It's even shares a parking lot with a Petco, which was so helpful for us - my partner was able to run and grab supplies before we left the clinic, so that we would have what we needed at home. Truly, a wonderful place and I am so grateful for everyone on staff here. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my family! read more

Hands down the best veterinary experience of my life. I cannot tell you just how amazing these vets are especially when you're arriving under stressful circumstances. I would say they are exceptional at what they do and would recommend them 1000 times over. Thank you Veterinary Emergency Group for your patience, bedside manner, and hospitality. Best in show! Brava! read more

We had to put our dear dog, Bailey, down last weekend. Since it was a weekend we could bot do this with our regular vet. So, we called VEG at the recommendation of a family friend. We, my wife and teo teenage daughters, brought Bailey in and they provided us with such competent and compassionate care. They provided us a private, quiet room with soft lighting, gave us lots of time and space to say goodbye to Bailey, and competently provided Bailey with the IV port and the end of life medicine. They also helped us decide about after death options. It was such a hard thing to go through, to say goodbye to this sweet soul that was our Bailey, but the care and kindness and competence we were met with made this a little easier. It felt like they honored the sacred time this was for our family and created some sacred space to hold us. Our whole family was and continues to be incredibly grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Well run, clean, and kind staff. Really appreciate that you can go back with your pet. Thank you!!

I'm writing for myself as well as my neighbor, who I brought in to have her cat looked at. We were seen by Dr Grace and her staff. Everyone was very kind, competent, gracious and friendly. They dealt with the kitty as well as the concerned parent in a very professional, transparent and compassionate way. Lots of patience by the Dr/staff and options were presented clearly for the worried mom. Both human and cat went home in better condition than when they left and my neighbor was very grateful. She doesn't do tech so I'm writing on her behalf but I've been to many vets (ER and non-ER) and this VEG location has a great vibe to go along with the care, and I too appreciated them. So would definitely recommend. read more

First off, I never leave reviews but feel I must share my awesome experience to hopefully give some relief to my fellow pet owners who worry on if their pup will get the best care they need. This place was fantastic! I called and immediately spoke with a vet, Dr. Morgan Gunn. Based on symptoms I went in for peace of mind. They text you the link for the intake form to add yours and your dog's information. Right when we got there we were greeted with a friendly staff member and ushered right back. It's a large room as you get cared for by staff with benches all around, doggie beds and blankets for your pup. They offer water, coffee and snacks while you wait. Waiting only took a few minutes before we saw Dr. Gunn, the vet I spoke to on the phone. Everyone was so kind and caring, and listened to you as you spoke about your pup's issues. Dr. Gunn went over everything and next steps. They send/text you a few option plans to review before making a decision that best suit your needs/budget and an itemized price of the care your dog will need. They were flexible with taking a few things off if you don't feel your dog needs it. The care was quick but you feel well taken care of by all of the staff. My dog shakes and whines typically but he was so calm there. Once you are done they send you a link to pay and/or you can see the front desk to checkout. They even had an option to donate for folks who can't afford it . They send you visit notes and at home care instructions as well as share it with your vet. I have been to another emergency vet location and this one was 10 times better as far as treatment and process. (The other emergency vet place was an awful experience with condescending staff, and took over 7 hours. I was told I could go home while my dog had tests done by the vet and then got a phone call from front desk person getting yelled at for leaving and I was lying being told I could leave. NOT the case with Veterinary Emergency Group!) I HIGHLY recommend Veterinary Emergency Group! Thank you to the wonderful staff at VEG. read more

I can't say enough good things about VEG! The doctors and staff were all so lovely and compassionate, the facility was clean and comfortable - they even had rooms with pull out sofas so that you could stay with your pet overnight while they were treated. The doctors were so wonderful and were very honest about treatment options and prognosis. When our dog woke up after his surgery and was frightened, one of the staff stayed with him in his kennel to reassure him while we headed back over. We were there all night and got to see how they treated every pet and owner with the same compassion and respect. Special thank you to Dr. Roberts who performed an emergency splenectomy at 3am for our dog. He's doing so much better and we're deeply thankful to everyone on staff who was involved in his care. read more

VEG is the best Emergency Vet Clinic I have ever been to, hands down. The level of care and compassion is something my pets and I have never experienced. While other Emergency Vet Clinics feel cold, disheartening, and daunting, VEG flips the standard. We were immediately welcomed back into a spacious and surprisingly calm treatment bay where you can watch everything going on. If privacy is more your style, they have cozy rooms to the side with dimmable lighting, white noise machines, and comfy pull out couches with blankets and lush pet bedding. During my visit I expressed that I was very sleep deprived from work and they brought in a pillow and extra blanket for me to get comfy with my pet while he was being treated. We felt right at home. They did all the treatment with my pet and I together in the room. I asked a lot of questions for my full understanding and I know I was repeating some questions but they never got impatient with me and showed the utmost compassion for a dreadful situation. Everything they did was gentle and kind. The group of staff all showed maximum care for my pet and I. The positive things I could say about VEG is endless. There's zero negatives. I will be taking my pets here for any future emergency needs, but hopefully we won't have anymore emergencies. read more

This emergency veterinarian's team is outstanding! My dog Juno ate chocolate cake and was quite sick. I was welcomed with open arms as soon as I arrived. Hannah, Sears, Rachel and Bryce took amazing care of both, Juno and me. The doctors communicate directly with you and have a kind patience unparalleled in this field. Hands down the best vet experience ever! read more

What a great setup VEG has! Open concept so I could be with my dog and comfort her and see all that they were doing. They communicated very well. High fives to staff Morgan, Audrey, Stephanie, Sarah, Jayna and the wonderful Dr. Rocco. My girl passed and they were lovely in the grief process. read more

I have to do a second review on VEG after I think (??) 8 visits over the course of 14 days. We have now interacted with countless vet techs & numerous vets over the course of the 2 weeks of dealing with this tail injury from a dog attack. Without exception, every single staff member ranging from the front desk to the techs to the vets have been phenomenal. Unbelievably caring, professional, knowledgeable, humble, & even just honest about how hard & unclear of a recovery course we have ahead (which I appreciate!). I want to especially call out Rachel who has been so invested in our dog June's care & also just loving & fun & hilarious which helped get through the tough parts of this experience. I wish I had caught the names of the other vets & techs & nurses etc as they have all been wonderful. They are really doing something right @ VEG with their staff hiring & I genuinely feel beyond fortunate to have them close by & doing such a fantastic job helping us through a pretty stressful situation. read more

The facility was clean and open. The staff was extremely kind and efficient. Dr Nathan Nee was exceptional with her plan of care and his explanation of the procedures. I was extremely stressed but I felt very confident leaving her overnight in their hands. thank you so much for taking such great care of harley quinn. read more

I brought my dog, Lilly, here since my regular vet was booked and I was very concerned about my dog's symptoms. The staff here were SO friendly (special shout out to Searra and Dr. Luo, who were lovely) and really went out of their way to make sure that my baby and I were taken care of. read more

I called VEG to see if they could see my Guinea pig Shadow. I spoke to Eric, who I must say gave me the best customer service. He was honest and sympathetic trying to help me get my piggy some help. Each time I called, he was always so polite and helpful. I finally brought my piggy in and was greeted politely by Jeanette at the front desk and taken back to a room. Sarah came in and spoke to me about an issue I brought up about the Lynnwood VEG. She was very friendly and apologetic and listened to my concerns. It was very apparent that she cared and wanted to make it right. I then met Dr. Davies. I must say it's refreshing for a doctor to be honest and go out of her way to try and help me with my Super Pig. She went the extra mile to try and help me. I am so glad VEG opened up at Interbay! I want to thank Eric, Jeanette, and Dr. Davies, and Sarah for your care and concern for my baby. I appreciate you all so much. They also reached out to check on my piggy. Now, that is a good veterinarian. Trust is very important!!! They definitely earned my family's trust with our pets! Thank you read more

My kitty Ben suddenly became sick Saturday afternoon - vomitting, diarrhea, lethargic and no appetite. He had a habit of chewing on some Lemongrass on my deck so I feared he may have an obstruction or other reaction to the grass. After contacting another ER vet, they recommended go to VEG - telling me they could see me sooner. I didn't even know that VEG existed - very close to me too. I was dreading another painful anxiety ridden day at an ER vet- at least 6-7 hours, of waiting and worrying in my car or sad waiting room while Ben is taken away from me. To my surprise and relief - VEG is not that. They took us right in - yes we got to just walk in without having to wait in the car to be checked in and then waiting for a vet to be available. I have no AC in my car and no data on my phone so that makes it an even worse experience for both my animals and me. Long story short (I could go on and on praising VEG), they took such good care of both Ben and me. It is such a refreshing concept where you can be with your animal all the time or not, whatever is more comfortable for both of you. I ended up having to bring him back in Sunday for more tests and they again got me right in and we got him on a treatment plan. Kudos to everyone there, from the person who let us in and brought us right into the treatment room, the techs and nurses, and the two vets who saw Ben - Dr. Ladd on Saturday and Dr. Rocco on Sunday were great and took care of both Ben and me. Thank you for everything! read more
