She was triaged immediately by the kindest, caring staff. Will need blood panels done for the next 2 days to insure that her renal numbers remain normal. Thank You, Each and every one of you for taking such good care of our precious girl! You will always have a place in our hearts! It was one expensive cookie!

A huge thank you to the triage team and a true heartfelt special thank you to Kylie and Dr. Hastings. You made us feel very well taken care of. We will remember you always. And yes Kylie, if we ever see you in a store we will definitely say hi and I will also give you a big hug. A couple photos to show off our baby this morning. Hugs of the purest gratitude Tammy Rondorf

So thankful for VEG and the prompt and compassionate care they gave our dog, Penny. The doctor…read morewalked me through all of our options and took amazing and gentle care of our girl in her last moments. When it was time to say goodbye we were taken to a private room so we could spend as much time as we needed together. They made sure it was a peaceful passing for Penny, but also regularly checked in on me and explained everything kindly and thoroughly. I would like to especially shout out Ashton, who was kind enough to make Penny a beautiful plate of sweets and even shared her own piece of pie. It was so helpful to be around such a caring individual at the worst moment of my life. We had taken Penny in once before, and my husband and I both appreciated the set up of the clinic - you can see your animal being cared for and be with them every second. We didn't ever stay overnight with Penny during a hospitalization, but what an amazing thing to be able to be with them the whole time. Other emergency vets aren't like that. Thank you, VEG!

The team at VEG were delightful. Great communication, from triage to checkout. My kitty has…read moresensitive skin, which comes with irritation from every little thing. She had been scratching around her eyes, and had developed some scratches that were inflamed. Ultimately, she was prescribed antibiotics, with a proposed eye dye. The medical director was my treating vet, and she explained why the eye dye was suggested, but not required. In an expensive time, I'm very appreciative that they didn't push for an unnecessary test. She and the team all had great bedside manner. Yes, the wait was a bit long, but it wasn't through any fault of the staff; multiple stat cases had come in and understandably, skin irritation wasn't at the top of the to-do list. Also, they did let me know up front that it would be a bit of a wait, so again, good communication. While I hope I never have to take my baby into an emergency vet, I would definitely come back to VEG.

Effective in curing the symptom: 2/5 Customer service: 5/5…read morePrice: I have insurance, so I won't discuss it here. My cat extensively vomited yellow liquid and showed signs of lethargy. My first visit to the vet was quite concerning. My cat hadn't eaten or used the litter box for 12 hours since vomited, so I brought him in. They recommended an anti-nausea shot and IV fluids. When my cat was returned, I noticed blood spots on the technician's nose. He denied my cat bled, but another technician later confirmed he did bleed a little. Why would the first technician lie? Second visit: 12 hours later, I brought my cat back because he wasn't getting any better. It was almost midnight, and they told us we'd have to wait 2 to 4 hours for an X-ray. My cat also got another fluid injection while we waited, plus some sedative for the scan. Hours later, the vet said there was some unidentifiable object in his middle abdomen that wasn't blocking anything, and he had a really low white blood cell count and a fever. It was almost 1 AM, and everyone was exhausted, but the way the vet explained things made me so worried, especially when he brought up pancreatitis. I wish he could've just said it simply so I could understand and not freak out so much. My cat was sent home again, with antibiotics for the fever and another 12 hours of monitoring.. My poor cat was so stressed and scared after his visit, he even hid when we got home and peed himself! I can't imagine what he went through or saw behind those closed doors, it was so unnecessarily stressful for everyone. Thankfully, he used his litter box and ate a little later that night.

I pray that you never need a veterinary oncologist, dear Yelp reader, but if you do, there is no…read moreone I would trust more than Dr. Koshino and the staff at Bellevue Veterinary Emergency & Speciality. We are the crazy dog parents who ask a million questions and we found the staff that helped us, especially the front desk staff and Nina the vet tech, were always kind and caring. Dr. Koshino walked us through every option and was there for us through good news and bad. We didn't get the miracle we hoped for, but we have comfort knowing we did the best we could by our sweet girl. When it came time to talk about quality of life and make some tough decisions, Dr. Koshino was patient and knowledgeable. I have nothing but nice things to say about Dr. Koshino and Bellevue Veterinary Emergency and Speciality, and, I hope I never need to see them again. Cancer sucks.

I walked in here with no planned intention but ended up buying an entire DOOA glass and light setup. it's definitely not cheap (~$300 for the set I bought. just glass, metal arm, light, 2 rocks) but what made it worth it is the fact that Adam from this shop was SO kind and beyond helpful. he gave suggestions and advice on what I would need to get my setup working properly, down to the type of substrate for certain plants. when I was picking out a few rocks for my glass, Adam had such an aesthetic eye for which one would look nice in the environment. I'm typically so picky about achieving a certain look for tank builds, but the two rocks Adam pointed out I immediately loved and got (they even have a sand dojo area for you to play around with layout). He sees the vision and helps you execute. This type of expertise and willingness to help is absolutely what lead me to buy an entire setup on a whim! But truly, cares for your build like he would his own and he doesn't try to *sell* you anything, rather he wants the plant to thrive in the environment created, and he's happy to give advice and his time to bring you to success. I never felt pushed in any manner and have so much respect for how he conducts his work. Huge thank you to Adam! Would recommend this shop if you run into him especially.

Among them, I was very interested in Aqarscape studio. At first I thought it was a plant shop and went inside. However, a mysterious world was created with plants in the water. I was fascinated by the mysterious water landscape. They have classes. An aquascape allows you to create your own landscape within your aquarium. If you are interested in this, I recommend that you stop by here and see what is displayed in person.
