VEG ER for Pets

We found our sweet 12 year old dog struggling to breathe and move early in the morning. We called VEG and they answered immediately and said to bring her in. Once we arrived, the immediately began to try to help her and save her. They were calm compassionate and so gentle. Unfortunately, we lost our sweet pup. The staff was so amazing. They let us sit with her until all or family could arrive to say goodbye. I was so impressed with their kindness and help as we made final arrangements. Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful through such a terrible time.

This was our first visit to VEG and it far surpassed our expectations. It was very inclusive,supportive,effective,sympathetic and understanding. We had always gone to the U ER- until now. Far more sympathetic, way more affordable. We simply cannot be more happy with our visit. We have a 7pound sassy fearful nervous Pomeranian that was treated with respect and concern of his fear rather than judgement.

Another 5 Star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This past Sunday, my exotic shorthair cat, Riff, suprised me out of the shower with a yellow face and a yellow paw. I immediately began cleaning him and wondering what he got into. It was a vase full of different flowers, including a single lily!🚩🚩🚩 I knew lilies were bad for cats and ran to google! Yep, toxic! Rushed my boy to VEG and they began life saving treatment right away. Riffy spent 48 hours at VEG on a continuous IV to rid his body of any toxins. I cannot say enough about this place. Everyone was so kind and caring. The compassion they displayed was unmatched. Riff can be nervous and had a bad experience at another ER in Oakdale. But here he was so much more relaxed. When they saw that the dogs were making him anxious, they moved him to a cat only room. After a day, he really calmed down and actually seemed to really like the place. In fact, when I went to pick him up, he seemed like he didn’t want to leave. All I can say is this pls d is top notch! Having 4 pets, we have been to all of their competitors, and none of them come anywhere close to VEG. The simple concept of being able to stay with your pet and being able to visit whenever you please, is such a bonus to both pet and owner. I cannot say how much I love this place!

I'm struggling to try to find the words to express the amount of gratitude I have for this place being there for me and for my pet through this difficult time they did everything that they could and their power and helped me try to make sure that my pet was comfortable and peaceful and felt safe and loved through everything he had to go through unfortunately in the end the decision had to be made to put him to sleep but every single person I dealt with at veg gave so much love patience and support through this I love the way that they loved blaze and they gave him the best treatment that they could My heart is broken but through their patience and kindness and everything that they did I know that I will be okay and that blaze is now in heaven and peaceful and no longer hurting. I really wish I could find the words to say how amazing these people are and how important they are. This is the place to go for any animal because they will give each animal the love and care they deserve and the family too thank you guys so much You mean the world to me.

VEG Woodbury saved my dog’s life quickly, effectively, and the care that was given to us is unmatched!! My dog came in presenting symptoms of a GI issue and it was severe at first but Dr. Mackey immediately began care and my dog showed improvement within hours. I felt validated, valued, respected, cared for, and safe during my entire stay while my dog was hospitalized. They were very informative, kept checking on my dog, and showed so much love to my dog, Brew. I will come back for every emergency although I hope there are no more!! I would recommend this amazing emergency vet to anyone I know. Thank you all endlessly for the care you gave my baby during his hospitalization, you truly made him go from 10% to 80% when he left and he is almost back to his normal self. THANK YOU VEG WOODBURY, DR. MACKEY, and all of the nurses that loved and cared for my dog throughout his entire stay.

Our dog Piper had a cyst that expanded rapidly and started leaking. Our regular vet was closed so I went to VEG. Interesting "open" layout that made for a more comfortable setting. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and respectful. They diagnosed the problem and took the necessary steps to start Piper on the path to recovery. They will also share the visit info with our regular vet. Very pleased with the overall experience and Dr. Salazar was fantastic!

I just moved from out of state, and didn't have a vet established when my kitty had an emergency. I am so grateful VEG was there to help when I needed them. Otter and I were seen immediately and the whole team got to work to assess him. Special thanks to Dr. Salzer, Brittney, Michaela and Jo for their kindness, patience, and understanding. They answered every question I had and were comforting and informative. I hope we don't have another emergency, but if we do, I'm glad to know VEG is there! Otter says thanks, too!
