Although I was here for several hours 12:30-6am, my cat was cared for and gently handled the whole time. They were relatively quick with the tests they ran, and everyone was knowledgable and extremely kind. They do xrays on site and are able to triage several pets at one time. There are at least 3 doctors I saw, and so many vet techs who seem to love what they do. I really appreciate all that was done for my cat. I attached my bill as well to my review. Although kind of expensive, it is worth it to have my cat be alive and well. They did give me a discount, again, they were very kind. Base visit is $180 and anything additional will be added in a quote they will show you before more care is applied to your pet. They see cats and dogs, as well as other animals and exotic animals such as birds/rabbits/bearded dragons/etc. I would definitely come back here if my cats were in distress.

I don't think I will ever have enough words to express how grateful I am to this veterinary team…read more They saved my baby Ónyx's life. Ónyx was only 9 weeks old when he accidentally swallowed a piece of a treat that became lodged in his airway. We brought him in because his breathing sounded strange, but we could have never imagined how quickly everything would change. The director immediately performed X-rays, and within less than 30 minutes, Ónyx went into respiratory shock. From that moment, I watched the entire team move with an urgency, coordination, and dedication that I will never forget. Everyone ran to help my puppy. Dr. Timberlake had to perform an emergency endoscopy to remove the foreign object from his airway a procedure that carried significant risk for such a tiny, 9-week-old puppy. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. Dr. Timberlake successfully removed the object and saved Ónyx's life. Afterward, he remained under constant observation and oxygen support for hours. Dr. Peña was absolutely wonderful as well, and every single assistant treated Ónyx with so much love, gentleness, and respect. They did not leave him alone for even one second. There was always someone watching him, caring for him, and making sure he was safe. As a pet mom standing there terrified and feeling completely helpless, seeing the way this team cared for my baby meant more than I can explain. They didn't treat Ónyx like "just another patient." They treated him like his life mattered. They treated him like the deeply loved baby that he is to us. Because of their knowledge, their quick response, their teamwork, and their dedication, I have my baby home with me today. I can watch him eat, sleep, play, and be his happy little self again. There is no review and no amount of stars that could ever truly represent the gratitude I feel. Dr. Timberlake, Dr. Peña, and the entire team: thank you from the deepest part of my heart. Thank you for running for my puppy. Thank you for not giving up on him. Thank you for caring for him every single second. Thank you for saving Ónyx. I will be eternally grateful to all of you. Because of you, I still have my baby with me.

As soon as we walked in they took him back and we were in a room within the first 5 minutes. Overall, we ended up spending about two and a half hours here. The front desk staff was friendly and so was the vet. The technician was kind of cold but it was late at night so maybe that attributed to it. Also there was a dead cockroach in the bathroom and a lot of dust and pet hair in the exam room. My youngest ended up needing to take allergy medicine when we got home because of all of the dander. That's why I took one star off. I do like that they have a treat area for people who are waiting for their pet.

Our sweet Charlie ended up at the emergency vet with a bladder obstruction that required surgery…read more What started as straining to pee turned into a whirlwind of ER visits, anesthesia, and a major procedure to remove stones from his bladder. I don't usually share personal stuff like this, but I'm making this post for one reason only. If you ever have an emergency with your pet, go to VEG ER for Pets. When we were trying to find a vet to perform the surgery, our VEG doctor sat there and personally called vet after vet to get someone to fit us in. And when we finally found the right place, she stayed on the phone with the surgeon and fully briefed him on Charlie's condition so there was not a single gap in his care. They kept us informed, comforted, and confident that our boy was in the best hands. He made it through surgery like a champ and finally came home but after we got him settled, his temperature dropped and we had to rush him back to VEG. They immediately took him in, warmed him, ran an ultrasound to make sure nothing was wrong, monitored him until he was stable... and didn't charge us a dime. Because of how long this whole process was, and having to go back again, we saw three different doctors at VEG, and every single one of them treated Charlie (and us) with the exact same level of urgency, compassion, and kindness. That consistency in care meant everything to us. Charlie is home now, snuggled in blankets, eating, and slowly getting stronger! If you ever face an emergency with your fur baby, VEG is the place to go. We are beyond grateful and will recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I also witnessed the staff have incredible compassion and practice ethically. An elderly woman came in with her cat, concerned about the cats eyes. After a thorough exam, she was told her cat was perfectly healthy and there was nothing to be concerned with. They didn't charge her for the exam, which I could tell was a big stress relief for her. In total I spent 3 hours here and my cat and I received exceptional care. I also witnessed the true hero's that wok here in their element. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in need of emergency vet care. 11/10!

Dr. Vukich was THE MAN. He listened to us when we voiced our concerns, he shared his thoughts and suggested course of action, and we had shared decision making.

Jessica, one of the vet techs, was super sweet as well. Very understanding of our concerns and made sure we knew we could call at anytime for updates. The people at the front desk and others we interacted with were at times dismissive of our concerns, but thank goodness Dr. Vukich listened to our concerns and saved our kitty!

Exceptional Care at First Coast Veterinary!!!!…read more I can't say enough good things about First Coast Veterinary on Jacksonville Drive. They have taken such wonderful care of Abby, especially after her major foot surgery. From the moment we walked in, the staff was compassionate, patient, and truly committed to helping her heal. They explained every step of her treatment clearly, kept us informed, and treated Abby like she was their own. Her recovery has been smoother and less stressful because of the attention and expertise they provided. It's rare to find a veterinary team that combines skill with such genuine kindness, but this clinic absolutely does. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done for Abby. If you're looking for a place that will go above and beyond for your pet during an emergency or complex surgery, I highly recommend First Coast Veterinary!

I witnessed a stray cat get hit by a car, and I couldn't leave it there suffering, so I brought it to them. I asked if they could euthanize it at a low cost, as I wouldn't be able to afford treatment.

I truly wish there were more compassionate and caring people like the staff at this clinic. Thank you so much again.

When I tell you the doctor saved my dog's life after an attack by an unknown animal (though…read moresuspected coyote because of where we were), I mean it. I had originally brought my boy to a different emergency vet and they did everything wrong, but I didn't know it until my pup was getting worse (much worse) within a couple days. I brought him to Dr. Hassan and he very quickly made a turn for the better. And when that same dog had a stroke a year ago, Doc did everything right. Dr. Hassan gave me 2.5 more active, healthy years with my pup than I otherwise would have had. How do I quantify what that means to me? I can't. The entire staff is incredible. They truly do care. My dog died in July. He was up at my parents' house in Georgia for a visit (their dog and mine were besties). He was fine when I left, but a few days later he was not at all fine. I called Dr. Hassan and even though I couldn't bring Floyd () in since he was out of state, after telling them what was going on with him, Dr. prescribed meds for him as a last-ditch effort. They filled them on site, I picked them up, and made a mad dash to get to him. It was too late by the time I got to him because I couldn't get the meds in him and he died just a few hours later (so the meds would not have helped at that point anyway), but just the fact that they gave me the opportunity to try means the world to me.
