I had an amazing experience with Dr. Fink and his team. They are truly angels! I brought my puppy in after he ate raisins, and they jumped into action right away. From the moment we walked in, they made sure to put me at ease and were incredibly attentive to my puppy’s needs. You can tell they genuinely care about my puppy's comfort and well-being. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for their quick response and the exceptional care they provided. I highly recommend this team!

This was the best experience in a stressful situation. The staff is so kind and helpful. I was so impressed with EVERYONE. I literally wanted to hug everyone on the way out the door. Beyond the great staff and doctors, the set up and layout is fantastic. I’ve told so many friends about this experience I felt I needed to share to everyone else. LOVE this place. True LA testament… I live in the valley and I will always (hopefully not frequently) come here if my pet has an emergency

Having to go to an emergency animal hospital is generally a horrific experience, but my experience at VEG was a remarkable one. The open floor concept is brilliant. You can be with your pet at all times (what a comfort, for them, and you) and you’re also able to take in - and learn from - all of the hard work that usually goes on behind the scenes… I commend Dr. Centola for his expertise, intellect, warmth, and above all else, sense of true humanity and empathy. Nurses Emily and Kristine, too. This team attended to my feline queen, Eliot, who’s been in my life for 11+ years, and who thanks to VEG’s support, will hopefully be in my life for another 11 ;). I hope you never have to rush your infirm critter to the emergency hospital, but if you do, this is the place to go…
