    Walk In L.

    We had a scary emergency with our boy Teddy and didn't even know where to begin or who to call when our vet wasn't open. We called in the late evening on a Saturday night and drove almost an hour to find such caring compassionate people at Pet Emergency Center. We had a good wait of course bc it was after a holiday but we waited comfortably in our car where they offered to come and get us when it was time. They let us know ahead of costs so we wouldn't be shocked. The compassion and care by the incredible intake nurse was so needed after our last experience with a vet was so heartbreaking, we left without our dog. We are grateful for this incredible team and express our deepest of thanks!

    Back in the Spring my dog needed to be seen for an emergency and I must have forgotten to review them. Well, after saving my cat last week I had to make sure I did. I took my cat in after showing symptoms of ingesting something he shouldn't have. I called every vet in the area with no luck for an appointment. Shortly after 1am, my husband and I made a 45 minute drive to get help for our cat. His heart rate was slow, he was cold, and was clearly dehydrated. My husband walked in and got him checked in. It wasn't very busy so it wasn't long before our vet technician came to check him out. She was super nice and straight forward, I loved that! We discussed treatment options with the vet after describing symptoms and her professional observation. Also, disclosing our recent emergency holiday travel expenses really threw off our budget. We would treat the symptoms. We watched for any warnings it was something worse. We are so happy we did, our cat was resting for the next 48-72 hours but was way more alert. As of today, he is standing on his couch swatting at his dog brother as he walks by. He is eating, drinking, and using his litter box. Thank you guys so much for helping my cat! You all honestly helped calm me down before receiving more devastating news just hours after getting home. I have no words.

    AVOID at all costs. If you love your pet, please take them somewhere else. My pet and I have never been treated so poorly.

    the last thing a pet owner wants ahead of a long weekend is a trip to the emergency vet; actually,…read moremost pet owners i know aren't excited about emergency vet visits at any time of year but when they happen and you want to make sure your fur baby is ok, you go, regardless of the costs involved. late last week i made the decision to take my dog in with an issue i've seen him have before but this time all my efforts didn't curb the symptoms and i decided i'd get a jump on what promised to be a full emergency waiting room ahead of fireworks and loud noises. the closest VEG location to me is in interbay but when i called they suggested i go to lynwood, federal way or redmond because they were already slammed. so up to lynnwood we went and when we walked in, i got an introduction into how differently VEG locations handle things. each pet/human is greeted and triaged. the open concept of seeing everyone working and every other patient out in the open may be different from what you're used to but it demystifies things for sure. you're not left wondering what's happening to your pet behind closed doors. and in an emergency when your cortisol levels may already be elevated this is most likely a welcome difference in protocol. we were ushered to an alcove with a couch and someone came over with a laptop to get details and reasons why we were there. minutes later a tech and vet arrived and we talked to them. she patiently listened and said she'd develop a plan for how to investigate what was going on and in retrospect i appreciated that she didn't go straight to imaging and other costly testing but decided to go the route of labs/biochemical diagnoses to rule things like pancreatitis out. once she left us, i got a text message with a quote and link to pre pay. having done that, we waited a bit longer and another pair of staff arrived to draw blood. we were told it would take about 30min for lab results. we waited, we watched the staff moving around to different patients with different needs levels. eventually the vet returned with lab results and recommendations before another tech came with discharge papers and a goodie bag of sample gastrointestinal foods. all told, we were there about two hours and i was highly impressed with the level of service and care we received. things were clean, the staff all seemed positive about the company they are employed by and they genuinely care about delivering a high standard of care to everyone who walked through the doors, human and animal. one thing i appreciated was that the vet mentioned that i could call or email with follow up questions and also mentioned that if we needed to return, we could go to the interbay location because all locations are connected and would have access to his file/treatments. yesterday we received a follow up text to check on him, also encouraging calls if we have questions. VEG seems to have emergency veterinary service and human customer service dialed in. it's hard to know who and where to go in an emergency but i'd carried the VEG name and number in my phone for years without having a need to use them; now i can say that i'd recommend them based on our experience this past weekend.

Coastal rivers were the attending clinic under vet de jong. 2 days ago we did a checkup as the operation was unsuccessful for the cherry eye under vet de jong's care. Once at the appt we started to ask questions like Any ordinary furry puppy owner would ask: 1. Why did the operation fail? 2. What in your experience as a vet could be done? 3. Have you done many surgeries of this type ? 4. What is your vet experience? 5. If operated again would you seek out a senior vet's help for the procedure? .... Guess what? This is what she answered: "None of your business!!!!!" The vet actually said it's not our concern!!!! She knew we were fostering and were to adopt and Yes to the contrary it is our business to learn more about future procedures and her knowledge of this type of serious operation. After doing more research we found advice from actual animal eye surgeons called othmatology vets...... yes there are actually 2-3 clinics in the lower mainland that does this specialty and this vet was not a specialist so we wanted to know her skills. She lost it got triggered form us asking her serious questions and actually kidnapped the dog right from our hands and ran into the back. My wife and I didn't know what to do we were stunned! We found out after 10 mins and from this horrible vet De Jong that she called the spca and they must have told her to return the dog to us! Please avoid this Vet she treated us awfully and could not Handle us asking detailed questions about the surgery in the future. Why did she do this? Why was she so triggered? Being a young vet concludes that she Definitely needs more training and for sure more counselling and we will never ever go back to this clinic. Horrible! Hopefully Dr Taylor you read this And choose to Respond to us and reach out to tell your vet De jong to apologize?

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!

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.

She referred us to VCA in Victoria where Oncological Surgeon Dr. Seguin said surgery was not an option and offered chemo treatment with Palladia.

When Ollie's time to go came, Dr. Bowal, Techs Eva and Matt, and Manager Sarah were astonishingly kind to Ollie and to us. They are all exceptional.

I asked like can I jjsy ask if I should try charcoal or something to help her like she may be poisoned. they said can't give any advice without the new fee. i drove away 10 mins prior literally

We are no longer able to visit our dog, receive timely updates on his care, or make decisions regarding his care. If he is released, it will be to a kill shelter. We are pursuing all possible legal responses. This is a nightmare that no loving pet parent should ever have to experience. I wish I had read reviews on this clinic and been more selective about where I took our dog for emergency care, but nobody thinks of that during a time of distress. Our visit was grossly mishandled. In my opinion, the clinic failed to properly diagnose our dog and fully explore reasonable medical explanations regarding his condition, and the consequences of that are absolutely unfathomable. Please, please avoid taking your animal here for emergency care.
