This was absolutely the best emergency vet experience I’ve ever had. Honestly, it was one of the best vet experiences I’ve had. Mr. Paws was foaming from his mouth, A LOT, and I rushed him to VEG. They made sure he was all good and made us both feel safe and comfortable. Last July, my partner and I lost our sweet boy, Whiskers. We took him here to be cremated, since it was after hours on a weekend. They treated us wonderfully then and now. Thank you so much for all your help. You guys are truly the best.

I can’t thank Dr. Buehler and her incredible team enough for the care they gave my dogs during a very scary situation. They had gotten into both gum and THC, and I was completely panicked. From the moment we arrived, Dr. Buehler treated them like her own calm, attentive, and full of care. She immediately put me at ease, explaining everything clearly while acting quickly to make sure they were safe and supported. What truly stood out was the compassion and professionalism of the entire staff—from the vet techs to the office tech. They even provided a blanket for my dogs so they could feel safe and at home while they were scared and we were waiting for results. This meant the world to me. Dr. Buehler and her team were absolutely amazing caring, professional, and quick to act in a stressful situation. I genuinely can’t even think of anything they could’ve done better; we felt completely supported seen from start to finish. Thank you SO much! ❤️

11/10 – Truly the Best Emergency Vet Clinic I cannot recommend this emergency vet clinic enough. I’ve been here three times now with my energetic (and slightly accident-prone) puppy, and every single experience has been beyond excellent. From the moment you walk in, the staff is welcoming, kind, and incredibly compassionate. Every veterinarian and vet tech we’ve encountered has treated us with the utmost respect and empathy. They take the time to explain everything clearly, answer all your questions, and—most importantly—treat your pet like their own. Each visit, they’ve gone above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, calm, and cared for, even when he was scared or in pain. You can see and feel how much they genuinely love animals and take pride in their work. The level of professionalism, warmth, and personalized attention here is unmatched. Even though it’s never fun to need an emergency vet, I always feel relieved knowing this clinic is here. They’ve earned my full trust, and I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. If you’re ever in a stressful situation with your pet, this is the place you want by your side.
