    Prince 1/30/2023
    Marycarmen A.

    On Monday, January 23, 2023, I took my cat, Prince, to this facility due to a tragedy that happens that evening. He hid in the dryer and was stuck in the dryer and for 5 minute. When we got him out, he was alive and panting really hard. We took him to Virginia Veterinary Center of Fredericksburg for the emergency. After checking in at the counter we were escorted to a waiting room. The receptionist came in and requested us to sign the estimate of $1400 to treat him . We accepted the charges. They took Prince away and Doctor Wolosshin came into the room and informed us that he won't survive and the new price to treat him would be $5.000. She told us that no matter what, Prince won't survive even after treatment. She described to us, in gruesome detail that his organs where boiled and scrambled, his brain was a fried egg and his blood was like hot oil. The only option left left was to euthanize him because he was in discomfort. She said she was Prince's advocate and did not want to see him suffer. My husband and I agreed. My husband asked to go see him prior to the procedure. He saw that Prince recieved fluids via IV and was recuperating in the ER room. He told the the technicians not to euthinzed him. Dr. Wolosshin came into the room very upset. She told us it would now be $7,000.00 if we do not treat him immediaatley. It was very akward how she kept talking about money and when we asked what tests she ran she could not give us and answer. She instead to us she assumed that was the condition he was in. She told us if we take him home, he was going to die of a stroke and it was inhumane to watch them die. She continued to pressure us to treat or euthanize him. Also she was going to notify the authorities because if we took him home he was going to be in placed in an abused situation. Regardless of her inadequate comment, we told her that we will take him home and take him to our veterinarian first thing in the morning. Dr Wolosshin threatened that she will inform the Fredericksburg county government ( police) and monitor us on our actions with Prince. Dr Wolosshin only provide fluids for Prince and a phyiscal. She didn't conduct blood work in checking his vitals. She informed us that, regarding a treatment solution, he will not have no chance of survivability. Thanks God we took him home and to our Vet ,He is fine and recuperating this trauma. Everything that she told us wasn't true and only assumptions. If my husband didn't went to see him and change our mind, Prince will be dead by now. I feel that your facility prey on people an distress and emphasized the possibility of ending the lives of pets without a sustainable reasons and without any test done . Furthermore the treat is what it make me more upset and they reported that they euthinzed Prince that night. According to many customers this seems to be a repetitive common practice . I spoke with The Dr Donahue in charge of the facility on 2/2/2023 she told me that she agrees with the Dr Wolosshin behavior who attended Prince ,according with Dr Wolosshin Prince was euthanized on site, which was false. This was a TRAUMATIC HORRIBLE experience and Dr Wolosshin took advantage of our emergency to nickle and dime us and Dr Donahue turned a blind eye to these behaviors. They assumed and conducted no blood work or xrays to confirm thier diagnosis. Pet owners should be very cautious with this place. If you own a pet, make sure you find and honest and reputable place to take them. Your pet will have a better chance to survive an emergency. Pictures of Prince today !

Since our dog's primary clinic had already closed for the day, we urgently needed emergency care. We started calling around but had difficulty finding a veterinarian in Alexandria who could see us right away--until we reached the Veterinary Emergency Group at 4525 Duke Street. From the moment they answered the phone, the experience was exceptional. The staff member who took our call immediately reassured us that Tammy could be treated and calmly instructed us to bring her in right away. That reassurance alone meant a great deal during what was a very stressful moment. When we arrived, Dr. Rohan Shah saw Tammy immediately and began treating her without delay. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and clear expertise were incredibly reassuring. He and the entire staff treated Tammy with urgency, compassion, and genuine care, while also taking the time to explain what was happening and what they were doing to help her. Thanks to their quick action and outstanding care, Tammy was in the best possible hands during a frightening situation. The level of professionalism, kindness, and efficiency we experienced was truly remarkable. I cannot recommend the Veterinary Emergency Group highly enough. If your pet ever needs urgent care, this is absolutely the place you want to go. Frank K.

I called this practice and they immediately connected me with a vet to talk through her symptoms. They suggested I bring her in just to be safe. When I arrived, I was checked in right away and even offered a drink or snack. A doctor quickly came out to make sure nothing was urgent, and after about a 20-30 minute wait we did a full exam. The team was so patient and kind--consulting with each other, keeping me with my dog the whole time, and making sure she was comfortable throughout. Thankfully it ended up being full anal glands and some irritation. They took care of it and gave me guidance on meds (which I already had on hand). Checkout was the biggest surprise: only $205, which feels incredibly reasonable for Northern Virginia. The clinic was clean, organized, and calm, and it was obvious the pets there were genuinely cared for (even the ones in cones having a rough day). For a stressful night, this place made it a really good experience.

    You want to spend thousands of dollars and have your dog die in the end? This is the place for you…read more You will bring your 19 month old puppy to the internal medicine department with chronic diarrhea and vomiting because her normal vet referred her to a specialist. The specialist will say "Change her diet" even though you will have told him that you've already done that multiple times. You'll follow his instructions and see no changes in your dog. She begins to lose weight even though she is eating. You will go back, your dog will still have diarrhea and vomiting, and he'll suggest doing an ultrasound. You get the ultrasound done, and he'll say he's found "abnormalities" and then suggest "changing her diet" instead of trying to treat the abnormalities, and if we really want to find out wrong, she'll need an endoscopy procedure. So, you'll change her diet again, see no changes other than increasingly concerning weight loss, and spend multiple thousands of dollars for the specialist to perform the procedure. Your dog will be under anesthesia for several hours while he obtains 20-30 biopsy samples. The results come back a week later and the specialist will point out further abnormalities and stomach ulcers, and suggest you "change her diet" instead of treating the problems. Three months will go by and your once vibrant, healthy 50 pound dog will now be a walking skeleton, losing roughly 20-25 lbs. You've done everything in your power to save her life. She will stop eating and drinking water altogether for 4 straight days and become unresponsive at times, spending her days laying helplessly on a bed, with no energy do move at all. Her body temperature will noticeably drop, even though the room is at 75* and she's under a blanket. She will struggle to climb stairs or hop down from the couch, when she does decide to move. You see her suffering and on CHRISTMAS MORNING you will make the painful decision to end that suffering. You will bring her to MedVet, where she has already been seen for 3 months, including an ER visit, where they suggested hospitalization and an estimate for services which she has already recently had done, instead of an IV or any real treatment, and the vet tech will come in with a cone, because she is scared a dog with no energy will bite her. That vet tech will then, with all the compassion and empathy in the world, pull your dog by her neck, trying to drag her to the back, so, apparently, the doctor can look at her. 10-15 minutes will go by and nothing will be discussed with you as to what's going on. Then, the American Hero, who was an Army vet will come into the room and tell you you have have beautiful Belgian Malinois and say that she used to treat them while she was in the Army, and even though yours is severely emaciated, and has IBD, she will not euthanize her. If we want, however, we can surrender her. No one will ask why you are there with your beloved family member on Christmas morning, trying to end her suffering. They will just assume you are a piece of garbage who does not want to take care of a sick dog. You will leave and endure watching your dog suffer another two days before her normal vet clinic reopens. So, after nearly $7000 of credit card debt from procedures performed by the specialist, and visits to the ER and clinic, and prescription medications with very little instructions, in order to try and save my dog's life, all I have to show from it is a lifetime of pain, many years of payments, and a little cedar box that contains the ashes of my beloved dog. This place does not care about you, or your dog. They care about your wallet, and trying to obtain every dollar that's in it, at all cost. I love you, Coraline, and I'm sorry I took you here.

I regret not taking him to any other emergency animal hospital for his end of life purposes. I called the Georgetown location initially as I was in a state of panic (he was ten plus years old, I adopted him in December 2025 knowing he had a heart murmur and was also deaf. He was brought to DC by who saved him from a kill shelter and he was very loved) as he had simply collapsed on the dining room floor and passed away immediately - traumatizing to say the least. The woman who answered my call at the Georgetown location was helpful and she gave me the phone number to the closer location to me - H Street. Once we arrived, I called the phone number to let them know we were there as we needed assistance getting him inside (they were aware of this and instructed me to call upon arrival). I was outside of the door watching my phone call go unanswered as my mother, a retired vet tech, and brother-in-law waited at the car with my deceased boy. After a dozen rings, my call was answered and they informed me they would get a stretcher and meet us outside. They were prompt in getting him from the car without any further communication. I followed them into the building and they took him into a room and immediately left. I sat there with his body wrapped in a blanket on the table/stretcher until another person came in. I was handed a clipboard and told to fill out the paperwork and once complete, to ring the bell and they would come back in. There was NO introduction. No asking of his name or what had happened. No care whatsoever about who he was or how he passed. I, devastated and distraught, offered a bit of his story up and it was dismissed rather quickly. The paperwork was taken and I was told to go up front and pay. My dog was left there in a blanket on the table like a heap of garbage. Nobody, not one person, introduced themselves to us. Not a single person took the time to show any sympathy or interest in us or my dog. They never uncovered him to take a look, they never touched him, nothing. Not a single person took the time to explain anything or offer any kind of condolences. It was the most ingenuine, harsh, impersonal and downright disturbing experience I have ever been a part of. The hospital had doctors on the floor and no other animals were in sight. I am not saying that there weren't any present or that there weren't vets and/or vet techs tending to other patients - but I am saying that there was absolutely no reason whatsoever that my dog and I received little to no attention or interest. The entire thing from the moment we walked in to the minute we left was no more than 10 or so minutes. It was disgusting. Furthermore, in ALL of the times I have had to take my past dogs in for their end of life moments to various other emergency vets, I have always received, at the very least, an email or automated text offering condolences on the passing of my animals. All were always followed by a card or note of some sort. I chose the communal cremation, as I always have, and am extremely disappointed in the lack of follow up after trusting VEG with my boy at the end of his life - which was not much to expect given the horrible and disturbing experience I had when choosing VEG for my dogs end of life cremation and carry. This is not the place to go if you want someone to care. It was nothing more than a monetary gain for them and it was truly disheartening and extremely upsetting in every way. I will never recommend VEG to anyone - not for primary care nor end of life services and I can certainly guarantee that I will be in touch about my experience with the right people and organizations in an effort to prevent anyone else from having to say goodbye to their beloved pets the way I had to at VEG. I am unwell over the entire experience and I will be very vocal about it to the right people. I discourage anyone from choosing VEG.

I was devastated to see her in that state. They pre-charged me over $5,000 for care and insisted she stay overnight with IV fluids and for more tests, even after a call that she was better according to the vet. Unfortunately, her condition worsened during the stay. When I took her to another veterinary hospital shortly after, the follow-up veterinarian immediately removed the IV, explaining that it was doing my pet harm. They also told me there could have been a simpler alternative treatment that would not have required an overnight stay. After evaluating her, the second veterinarian advised that euthanasia was the most humane option. I reported these concerns to the clinic by email and to management but received no follow-up. The veterinarian only contacted me after I initiated a chargeback with my credit card company, which the clinic disputed. I am still extremely upset about this experience and the impact it had on my beloved pet. I would like to see the clinic take accountability and make this right -- both for me and so other clients don't experience something similar. I am open to discussing a fair resolution directly with the clinic.
