Triage area
Cheryl M.

The staff of all women were very accommodating and knowledgeable. They have an open floor triage area and individual rooms if you and your pet need it. They were friendly to our pit bull and played with her to get her to relax and become comfortable. We called before we came and told them what was going on. They took our information over the phone and were ready when we arrived. It was late at night when we brought our pet in. They took her immediately and began a routine examination to determine what was causing her distress. We got some of the answers we needed and will follow up with our vet in the morning but when we left our pet was fine and they gave us instructions on how to move forward. I would recommend them in the event of an emergency and can't get to your veterinarian.

I have been blessed with pets for most of the four decades I have lived here. As such I have been to multiple emergency animal hospitals in the area. I've had good experiences at most and great experiences at a few. VEG blew them away, hands down. Firstly, their intake procedure is very quick because they assume people want to get their pets treated ASAP. Secondly, they took us back to a large examination room where everything was done. No taking my dog away to draw blood. I got to stay with her - and she has separation anxiety - the whole time. I was also allowed to help as much as I wanted. Which was a lot. My dog is my registered Emotional Support Animal so me staying with her was extremely important. And let me tell you, Dr. Boyer and vet techs Ray and Amber were angels. So compassionate, so gentle with my dog, and so understanding of my emotional state. I cannot recommend these people highly enough. They're brilliant. And look: my doggie's bandage has a reindeer on it.

Fergie ready to cross over Rainbow  Bridge

In my unfortunate journey to cross Fergie over the Rainbow Bridge, I did a lot of inquiries . Some were reasonable, some were ridiculous & greedy money gougers but Thank God I found the right one. Veg ER for Pets. They are open 24/7 , local in the Southpark area of Charlotte & were kind , considerate & gentle in this journey. Death is hard enough but when one has to purposely do it to something one Loves, it is much much harder.. . Anyway I cannot say enough about Veg ER for pets. ..

Entrance
Ingrid J.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon with my dog who ate a corn cob I chose them after I called around to a number of places in north Charlotte and everyone was slammed and another place recommended them. The staff were sooo nice upon entering. I have a reactive dog who doesn't do great in stressful situations or around other dogs. There isn't really a dedicated private space upon entering if you have a reactive dog. So if you're like us beware... upon telling them about her reactivity they let us stay in our car and did check in with us outside to minimize her stress which I so appreciated! For it being a Sunday afternoon I think they got to us as fast as they could being that it was a a time sensitive issue. I was out in about 2 hours and they quickly induced vomiting to prevent the obstruction. When leaving they helped me navigate my reactive dog out the back door so it wouldn't stress anyone out. I only wish they had more private rooms and spaces!

I cannot express enough gratitude to this team. My dog got bitten by another dog and required 13 stitches. It truly was one of the worst days of my life, my dog is my whole world. The team was deeply empathic and was incredibly detailed with explaining every little thing my dog would experience for her procedures and how I needed to care for her, and I've never felt more cared for in any medical facility - animal or human. I especially want to shout out nurse Elizabeth for her kindness. VEG Charlotte Team, I know what an emotional toll this sort of work takes, and I am deeply grateful for each of you. Thank you.

This veterinary's office was kinda cool not going to lie. I felt like I was in an episode of Grey's Anatomy but for pets. There is an open concept to the office. I was able to watch them take my dogs vitals while someone else looked at a sick cat at the table next to me. They sat down on the ground with my dog. Although any emergency visit is going to be expensive this one was actually a little cheaper than the initial emergency hospital I was going to go to. All of the check in and payments were all completed through a link sent via text. So if you aren't tech savvy you may not find this as cool. But the visit was quick. My dog is resting well after some fluids and a pain relief shot. I hope that I don't have to do this too many more times but I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who has to.

This place likely saved my cat's life. When it comes to emergency care, I'd rather my cat be alive…read morethan care about a smiling face or perfect bedside manner, but this place had all of the above. The correspondence from the vets was consistent, detailed, informed and warm. Every staff member that I had the pleasure to interact with was extremely kind, knowledgeable, truly seemed like they liked being at work and cared about what they were doing. My cats resting on my bed tonight because of the work that these professionals did, I cant give a better recommendation than that. Thank you for everything.

By far the worst experience at a vet location. Arrived here as a "transfer" from their Rock Hill…read morelocation after my Dalmatian had experienced a seizure or similar event. While we could not determine what happened to him earlier in the day we agreed 24 hour monitoring and additional tests were needed as a mass was discovered during his physical exam. When I arrived, the Charlotte location had no clue or backstory of why I was there. After re-explaining the situation and expecting to drop my dog off for monitoring and additional tests, I proceeded to wait for 3 hours and never spoke to a vet. After subjecting myself and my dog to 7 hours in a small exam room, I decided it was best to get him home and find somewhere else to continue treatment. For what its worth, the first location was $370 for a physical exam, minimal blood panel for electrolyte levels and minor things, as well as some sort of low level ultrasound which was not sophisticated to determine what the mass was the vet found in the physical exam. I want to add that I'm sure there were other emergencies going on and I'm empathetic and understanding that other animals needed care and not just my own. The lack of communication between locations and their inability to essentially transfer him as it was explained to me was very frustrating. Considering I did not see a vet in the three hours I was there, I did not have much confidence that my dog would actually be monitored very well.

Saying goodbye to our dog Stella was one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced, and the…read morestaff at this hospital made an incredibly painful situation a little easier for us. When we arrived, Stella was very weak and near the end. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, staff members immediately came outside to help carry her in so she wouldn't suffer any more than she already was. That simple act of kindness meant more to us than they probably realize. They were also able to keep her comfortable long enough for our family to say our goodbyes, which we will always be grateful for. During the entire process, everyone we encountered--from the receptionists to the technicians to the doctors--was compassionate, patient, and incredibly caring. I'm not someone who typically writes reviews, but when you are faced with something this heartbreaking, the way people treat you truly matters. The entire team treated Stella and our family with dignity and compassion, and they made us feel like Stella mattered just as much to them as she did to us. Thank you for going above and beyond during one of the most difficult moments a pet family can experience. We will always appreciate the kindness you showed to Stella and to us.

We brought our cat to CVS RH because he very suddenly became lethargic and stopped eating, and our…read moreinitial vet gave him some antibiotics hoping it would get better, but his condition rapidly worsened as the day went on. CVS sent us back home with our cat while he had a 105 degree fever without really suggesting that he stay to be monitored. The vet at CVS mentioned that he could have FIP and said they would not prescribe meds to treat it until the lab results got back (4 days at the earliest bc it was a long weekend), assuring us that he would be okay through the weekend. He was getting worse so we took him back and wanted to keep him there the next night overnight, but there was no vet on call to care for him, and the vet did not seem to think that transferring him elsewhere was necessary. Our cat died later that night from a seizure at a different ER who had just diagnosed him with FIP and planned to start treatment. While CVS is not the only vet at fault here, I was highly highly disappointed in their lack of urgency for our cat as well as their lack of knowledge concerning FIP. I would not take your cat here because it does not seem like they have a great understanding of when a cat is stable enough to go home. For comparison, by the time we got to the urgent care, they were alarmed that any vet would let him out of their sight until his fever had reduced substantially for 24 hours. My biggest regret is not taking him to a more knowledgable and careful ER as soon as they sent us home with him the first time.

Tamela graciously apologized as soon as she came from the back explaining that reception hadn't arrived while we waited. We hadn't even waited that long. They were positive about how things would go and were kind and never seem irritated when we called for updates. The vet was so kind and she gave great information that was easy to understand. She even left a long voicemail and happily repeated the info when I returned the call without listening to my voicemail as soon as I saw I missed it. Also very easy location off 77! I picked this place solely because I didn't want to go into Charlotte and I am glad I did.

Dr parker and her team took in my 16 month old Shiba who had been in the birth process for roughly 13 hours at that point. they made me feel welcome, listened to what the situation was, and formed a plan. they did some blood work listened to her body, checked the other puppies just to make sure they were good, and performed an ultrasound. The last puppy was there, heart beating... just waiting to be delivered. calcium was low, they administered fluids and calcium via IV... we waited.. started a course of Oxytocin... nothing and finally decided that a c-section was required... momma and puppies are doing well! I told Dr. Parker, and im telling you, they changed my opinion of emergency vet care! expensive? yikes yes! worth it? absolutely! would i use their services uf needed? absolutely! they made me feel welcome as part of the process, they took excellent care of both momma and babies and they were happy to help no matter what! thats why 5 stars!!

Kyle, the vet on site at 1am was alert, knowledgeable and eager to provide me with as much information as possible about my guinea pig. 10/10 would highly recommend, especially if you are concerned about costs. Very reasonably priced for an emergency visit. They also give you multiple care options based on your budget. I could go on, but you'll be in great hands!

Great staff, great care. They listen to concerns about your pet and give you treatment options.read more

I had an overall negative experience yesterday at this emergency vet…read more First, we waited for nearly an hour before anyone came in. I understand they were doing a procedure, but not even a vet tech came by. I had to request a dish of water from front desk staff. Second, there were a lot of errors made in documentation. Wrong breed, age, and symptoms. Them marking her as nearly 5 years younger than she is, is a heinous oversight. Third, she was in tremendous pain and didn't tolerate the ultrasound. Instead of offering to sedate her and do it, they just stopped. I now have to pay more, a lot more, for a sedated US Friday to ensure nothing has been overlooked. Forth, there was a lot of ambiguity over what is actually happening; gall bladder, liver, and/or back pain. After being told gall bladder, it was retracted and dx as back pain, which was retracted and then liver. This did NOT breed confidence in the provider. Her "looking things up" on her phone over what's normal and abnormal for the gall bladder degraded this confidence further. Fifth, no dosages for pain medication were annotated on the discharge sheets. I stated I had gabapentin for her at home. Considering the degree of pain she's in, telling me how much to dose her seems slightly important here. Sixth, I called my normal vet before even leaving the parking lot. I was given a different interpretation/analysis of her abnormal labs which were contradictory to what I was told here. After a little research, the truth is far more in line with what my vet said. Seventh, provider stated she'd give me a list of good specialists and make a referral for me. She did not follow through on either. Eighth, no mention was made on the fact that she was just on an anti-inflammatory that can cause liver damage and the timing, as it turned out, aligned. Ninth, No mention of antibiotics for possible infection was mentioned, nor endocrine diseases, yet were annotated on the summary sheet. If she had asked, I would have told her she was worked up 1 year ago for those endocrine diseases. Tenth, I brought her home and found a flea on her. I did call and inform them. Considering I now have to try get a proper diagnosis with other veterinary professionals, I'm wondering what exactly I just paid $880 for. My dog was not adequately cared for and they should have offered to sedate her and perform a thorough US. I will not return to this facility. Everyone was nice, but my dog is still in pain and I still don't know what is actually wrong with her. Unacceptable.

I arrived at 10:30 am there was one person in the waiting room with a small dog. I waited about 20 minutes when an assistant came out wearing gloves and asked me to raise his lips for her to check is gums, then asked me to pick up his rearend for her to see the bleeding. She stated that it is a tumor and then left. After an hour I finally went and sat in the bathroom floor for my husky's comfort. I called the front desk at 11:45 and told her I was waiting in the bathroom with my husky and wanted to know how much longer she said that we were next. 1:30 we are still waiting we have been there 3 hours and still not been called back. He has now bled all over bathroom floor and is whining in pain. I got up to leave and the nurse came to me and told me that I was next in line and said yeah that is what I was told at 10:45. It is now 1:30. She told me that I was welcome to come back tomorrow or take him to see his regular vet, He doesn't have one that is why I drove an hour to get here. I told her I guess that I will just take him home to die. EVIDENTLY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT SAVING A DOG'S LIFE. So don't go here if you are wanting HELP for your loved one, If you are just going to have your dog put down they will gladly help you.
