The staff and doctors at VEG are truly remarkable and compassionate. One night, our cat, named Sebastian, suddenly stopped eating, and since our regular vet was closed for the holiday break, we reached out to VEG. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the facility was clean and well-organized. Dr. Reed stayed with us throughout the process, carefully diagnosing our cat’s condition. We got to see the ultrasound and X-rays, which made everything clear. Sadly, our cat, who was already elderly, was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Dr. Reed and the team were incredibly understanding, offering both emotional support and practical guidance during this difficult time. They provided pain medication for our cat to help him eat but were honest in letting us know that euthanasia would likely be necessary soon.

About a week later, when our cat stopped eating altogether and began hiding, we knew it was time. Because of the care and respect they had shown us, we returned to VEG for the euthanasia. The staff was thoughtful, compassionate, and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. They sent us a heartfelt card afterward, along with a paw print keepsake.

Overall, VEG stands out not only for its advanced facilities—including on-site diagnostic equipment like ultrasound and X-ray—but also for its exceptional communication. The doctors are caring, transparent, and don’t sugarcoat difficult news, which made a challenging experience a little easier to bear.

I found my bird lethargic and dying at the bottom of the cage. I scrambled to find a place to take him but there are few places where I live (Hesperia, CA). VEG was one of the place referred to me by my local veterinarian. I drove slightly over an hour after they told me they would see him immediately. I got there and they put me in a room immediately. Phoenix was seen within 5 minutes and I was given the news that he likely would not make it. Still, they developed a plan and monitored him over night. He began to make progress little by little and was administered medication along with fluids. The care was amazing and every staff member went out of their way to make sure we were both comfortable and okay. This was just a day ago so I’m not out of the woods yet with my bird. But they definitely prevented his death for at least one more day and his health is looking to be improving. I will forever be grateful to this place for taking care of my baby with care, compassion, and precision. The first photo was taken about 20 minutes after being put in an incubator. The second and third were taken the following day.

If you're even considering bringing your pet here, you can just stop reading this and go. We had an emergency and our two year old English Budgie was losing a lot of blood for being such a small parrot. Our regular vet is not an emergency vet and this happened over the weekend on top of that. After a few phone calls everyone referred us here and it was well worth the drive (we live in DTLA) Their ER fee was worth every penny especially for what they ended up doing. In short, we were amazed. As soon as we got there they put him in an incubator and started giving him meds to relax him so they could handle him and see where the blood was coming from. As soon as they located that, they actually put him under anesthesia (a tiny parrot! we were amazed!) and operated and removed the broken feather that was causing him to lose blood. They let us watch the entire process. They then did a small injection of fluids since he had lost so much blood. The whole experience was the most impressive thing I've ever seen go down in a vet. This place needs its own reality show. While we were there, a dog came in that had some major issue and another, much larger parrot, came in that couldn't open its eye. They can handle whatever your little critters have gotten themselves into and with ease. Nothing but good things to say about them. While we were there the vet was Dr. Cody (amazing) and his assistant Jess was the bird specialist, she was incredible and they both totally put us at ease with their confidence in handling the situation. 11/10

I am incredibly grateful for this veterinary hospital! I have faced several emergencies with my dogs, and each time, the care they have received has been nothing short of exceptional. One of the things I appreciate most is that I never have to leave their side—I can stay with them throughout the entire process, which is so comforting during a stressful time. The doctors and nurses are incredible and genuinely compassionate, treating every animal with incredible kindness and care. On top of that, their emergency care pricing is very reasonable. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing team!

Earlier this week my mini dachshund Evie was vomiting and had bloody diarrhea. We actually had to go in twice because it got worst. Both times, the doctors were very compassionate and explained the possibilities very thoroughly. Dr Townsley and Dr. Cody. We’ve also had doctors in the past who pressured us to get this expensive test for no reason so I really appreciated them giving me options with possible outcomes and giving me time to think it through. And all the nurses were so sweet. My dog ended up staying there for the day to get IV and I asked if I can stay so they set up a nice bed for us with pillows blankets anything else we needed. I was a complete mess from being stressed and sleep deprived but everyone was so nice understanding and they lightened up the mood. I really appreciate their services!

Very impressed with the care that my pup received here this evening. I can see why this emergency clinic came so highly recommended. My pup was having some tummy issues and as a first time dog mama, I appreciated being able to talk to a vet for advice during my initial phone call. Everyone in the clinic was so attentive and kind. I also really appreciated the smooth and easy check in process, as well as the transparency in cost throughout treatment. Thank you Dr. Colon and staff for taking great care of Ellie and helping a stressful time feel more comfortable for both of us!

I have a wonderful vet, however, on a Sat night at 10 pm, you have to utilize other resources. My 14 year old dog was in distress and it was time. I called, they stated they had other animals in front of me, but would get me in. I walked in, they immediately assessed my pup and put me in a room. The treatment area in this clinic is very much like the ER, the treatment tables are exposed. The staff was great with communication, walked me though every step of a tough experience, and gave me choices. My pup was treated with genial hands and they were very comforting. They gave me choices for the remains and gave me all the time I needed. The entire visit took about an hour. Following the visit, I received phone calls and cards in the mail. When I picked her up one week later, her remains were in a beautiful box with a name plate included, there was also a paw impression. I will be back with my other dog and highly recommend them. 5 stars. A staff named Bree was fantastic, she deserves a raise (Anahiem Hills location).
