Took in our 5 yo male min pin for vomiting. ALL staff on ALL shifts were amazing. Our dog needed to stay for 24 hours for abnormal labwork and needed IV fluids and medicine. Every single staff member treated us and our dog like they knew us for a long time. They are open concept and you are with your pet the whole time minus imaging and a few other things. We couldn’t thank this staff enough for the way they treated us and our dog. He is much better and I will only come here now for emergencies. I wish they had a primary care facility! Hard to find a place where everyone is happy to be working and give top notch care

VEG definitely saved our little girl’s life! We brought in our 3mo old kitten for lethargy, lack of eating, not playing, and shaking. We called ahead and even though their general office visit was more expensive than the other places, we are SO happy we came here. The receptionists came and opened the door for us and got us checked in immediately and doctors rushed to help immediately. Though it was very scary, they all did an amazing job keeping our Buttercup calm as well as us! We were taken to our own room, which made us feel so much better as we were worried she would become more stressed from noise. She had immediate medical attention and got her IV in and we were informed of every thought they had, everything that they wanted to do, everything that could be wrong, and they broke down all the prices and explained every charge to us, and even let us agree or disagree with charges. Dr. Alex Schluntz and the overnight team were so kind, communicative, and responsive. They did nothing we did not ask, and they took it upon themselves to not overwork Buttercup and “overcharge” us for things she didn’t need. She’s home after an overnight stay and is back to normal, and we are still working with the team to get to the root cause. We felt very taken care of, and most importantly felt that Buttercup was in great hands. They made our first ER visit as cat parents very easy. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you!!

Dr. Griffin is and the staff are amazing. They are angel’s on earth. It’s nice you enjoy the complementary snack while waiting for your pet. The fact that they let me watch the whole procedure made me comfortable and give them all my trust. Thank you for saving my baby.
