genuinely cannot say enough good things about Dr. Campbell and the entire team at VEG. Our dog, Remi, ended up needing emergency abdominal surgery for an intestinal obstruction, and it was an incredibly stressful and emotional experience. From the moment we arrived until we left, the care we received was exceptional. Dr. Campbell was incredible. I had a lot of questions and concerns, and not once did she make me feel rushed, dismissed, or like I was being difficult. She would sit down with me, explain what she was seeing, what our options were, and why she was recommending what she was recommending. She was patient, thorough, articulate, and confident without ever being condescending. I was having an extremely difficult time with the decision to put Remi through surgery, and she gave me the information I needed without ever pressuring me. I remember telling my wife that if Remi had to have surgery, I was incredibly grateful Dr. Campbell was the one taking care of her. The surgery went extremely well. Dr. Campbell found and removed the obstruction, and thankfully Remi's intestines were healthy. Afterward, she took the time to explain what she found, how Remi did, what to expect during recovery, and even discussed an unrelated finding so we could monitor it in the future. There are people who are technically excellent at what they do, and there are people who are excellent at taking care of the human being on the other side of the exam table. Dr. Campbell is both. Benji was also incredible. His focus was on making sure I was okay during an extremely difficult night. He checked on me constantly, went out of his way to ask if there was anything he could do, and always seemed to show up at the right time with a positive attitude and some reassurance. His kindness was genuine, and those small gestures made a much bigger difference than he probably realizes. Theresa took amazing care of Remi after surgery. She was incredibly patient, kind, and sweet with her. It was obvious that Remi was with someone who genuinely cared about her comfort and recovery. Theresa patiently answered all of our questions, kept us informed, and gave us a lot of peace of mind. Natalie was fantastic as well. She carefully went through the estimates with me and made sure everything was clearly explained. While I was away, she even took photos of Remi and sent them to me so I could see that she was doing okay. At the end, Natalie found a roughly $200 credit that was owed back to us and made sure it was refunded. After such a significant and unexpected veterinary bill, that level of transparency gave me a lot of confidence that Remi's care was truly the priority, not simply maximizing the bill. I also want to recognize everyone whose names I unfortunately didn't get. Especially in the beginning, I was so worried about Remi that remembering names was about the last thing on my mind. The surgical team was amazing. They kept me informed every step of the way, explained what was happening, what was normal, what to expect, and how Remi was doing. After Remi came out of surgery, they did everything they could to reassure me and make me feel better--even while immediately preparing for another surgery. Their compassion during what was obviously an incredibly busy night meant a lot. There was also a nurse who cared for Remi after surgery whose name I unfortunately didn't get. She was incredible. I had a lot of questions, and she patiently answered every one of them. She made sure Remi was constantly checked on and did everything she could to keep her comfortable while she recovered. I wish I had gotten everyone's names because there are more people who deserve to be recognized individually. Every person we encountered, from start to finish, treated Remi and our family with kindness and compassion. This was one of the hardest experiences I've had with Remi, but I never once felt like we were going through it alone. I trusted this team with a member of my family, and I would do so again without hesitation. Thank you to Dr. Campbell and everyone at VEG for taking such incredible care of our girl--and for taking care of us along the way. read more

I brought in my senior cattle dog mix Skyler on a Sunday night at 8pm. His vitals were immediately checked, and he was seen by a doctor promptly. She addressed his abscess, which had burst, causing blood and pus to flow down his chest area. The staff were professional, friendly and kind. I appreciated that they were attentive not only to the patient, but also to parents and other dogs present for emotional support. (I brought along Skyler's sister Scarlet who is a 2 year old dachshund mix.) They generously offered water and snacks to parents in addition to a blanket for Scarlet after noticing she was cold. In total, the visit took 3 hours, since Sky needed to be sedated. We returned 3 days after to remove his drain, which was done gently and at no extra charge. There was no problem submitting invoices to pet insurance, and the reimbursement was even expedited, since the insurance company found zero issues with the paperwork. Thank you read more

Brought my dog Cody in there yesterday. Even though our time there was brief, Dr. Gustafson and Isabelle showed an extraordinary level of compassion and professionalism that I will never forget. Their kindness, sincerity, and genuine concern meant more to me than I can put into words during such a painful experience. It was clear that they truly care about the animals and people who come through their doors. I'm deeply grateful for the way they treated both my dog and me, and their efforts absolutely deserve to be recognized. read more

We are so grateful for the wonderful people here at VEG! Our boy Frankie collapsed tonight, and we were able to get him here just in time. His prognosis isn't great, but without VEG, he wouldn't still be with us. Thanks to all of the wonderful,caring folks that give up their normal lives and sleep schedules to be there when pet owners need them the most! We are able to sit right next to him on a couch while he's resting on a bed at our feet. They even brought us a cozy warm blanket since it's chilly in here.We wouldn't know what to do without you. read more

We recently had to bring our pet rabbit here due to having a seizure. The staff was attentive, supportive and encouraging. Ive never had a pet that required medical attention so having the support from their staff was very reassuring that everything was going to be ok. We loved that they not only helped cats and dogs but also exotic animals. The doors are locked at night and require the front door desk to let you in which makes it feel safe. They have snacks, coffee, water and tea to help with the nerves as your pet receives the care they need. Overall, great spot and easy to spot in this strip mall. I hope to not have to have a pet medical emergency again but if we do, we will definitely be coming back here! Thank you VEG team! read more

My sweet girl Abby ate a 3 month supply of medication the day before our long road trip to Minnesota. I was devastated thinking she wouldn't survive the overdose. She received immediate attention from VEG Encinitas. It was 24 hour care for 2 days by Dr. Campbell, Dr. Lopez and Dr. Cruz. The nurses, Randi, Casey and Theresa set up a private enclosure for Abby so she was always visible and easily monitored. I felt so comforted in this "touch and go" period of time knowing she was getting the best care. After 48 hours, she was cleared to go. VEG Encinitas made arrangements at VEG Denver so we could re-do her blood work and monitor her Liver and Kidney values. We made it to Minnesota and she is a happy healthy Springer Spaniel living her best life? read more

Pure love for animals! I called on a Sunday morning to see if what my dog was experiencing was an emergency. To my surprise, the woman on the phone quickly connected me with a doctor. I explained the situation, and the doctor asked me a few detailed questions. She then told me it wasn't an emergency, but if the symptoms persisted, take him to his vet on Monday. I expected her to tell me to hold for payment info, but she wished me luck and that was it. My pup felt way better on Monday morning. read more

What wonderful young people that work here to help your pet. While we didn't get the result we had hoped for and went through a roller coaster of emotions going from one diagnosis to another, we had to come to the realization it was time for our dear Zoe. read more

I brought my cockatiel here a few weeks ago. I didn't have high hopes bringing a bird to a large strip mall vet center but they exceeded my expectations. The staff were all great. I'm sure it's not an easy job. Almost everyone walking in there is so worried for their pet they're about ready to tear someone's head off. All the staff were great. They put her in a warm incubator with O2 pumped it which I thought was nice. What I thought was really good was that the vet was able to get on a call with an avian vet and get advice. Knowledgeable care for birds is hard to find and even avian vets know so little compared to what is known about dogs & cats. It's impossible for an emergency vet center to staff an avian vet so I thought it was great that they had access to one. AFAIK, the nearest avian vet is about a 40 minute drive away near Mission Bay. Two negatives. Being a 24/7 emergency vet, services are more expensive. Diagnostic tests and X-rays were about 2X what I paid at another vet for blood work and X-rays a year ago. Also, I was there for around 3 hours before they were ready to do the diagnostics. Sadly, by that time she was too weak to survive the tests and passed away shortly thereafter. However, I think that even if I had teleported to an avian vet, it wouldn't have made a difference in this situation. Afterwards, they were able to help take care of the final arrangements so I didn't have to deal with that myself. That was very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

I just want to thank Dr. Danica Kim and the staff for the way they took care of my anxious and sick mini-dachshund when I brought him in in the middle of the night a few days ago. He had two back-to-back surgeries in May, and needed to be handled very carefully!! They treated his gastro emergency with great care and sensitivity to his back and Dr. Kim provided excellent diagnosis and patience in explaining the various options to get to the root of the problem. Thank you for the excellent care and the kind way you handled and treated my granddog! The VEG Encinitas group is excellent!!! read more

I brought my little fur-baby to VEG several hours after a different vet who we hadn't seen before misdiagnosed an issue with his eye. This was my first experience with VEG, and they were terrific. Dr. Oller and the team examined my little dog's right eye, which had begun bothering him in the late afternoon and had become swollen and red. Dr. Oller's finding: a scratch on the cornea. Dr. Oller prepared a plan of treatment and after-care -- which included wearing the dreaded cone -- and which I accepted and followed. By morning, my doggie's eye was already looking better. We followed the course of after-care until his regular vet, who we went to for follow-ups, said the eye was fully healed. At VEG, everyone I interacted with and everyone I saw and heard interacting with another family who'd come in with their little dog for an urgent matter, demonstrated heart, compassion and caring that far exceeded my expectations. Hopefully, my little fur-baby won't need emergency care again, but if he does, I won't hesitate to bring him to VEG. I highly recommend VEG for emergency pet care. read more

How do I write a review strong enough to thank VEG for saving my dog's life? How does someone put that into words? I'll try. I have never encountered this level of service - this level of caring - this level of professionalism EVER in all of my life for a pet emergency hospital. EVERY SINGLE PERSON and I mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON that we dealt with ....the doctors, the vet techs, the support staff....EVERYONE genuinely cared about my dog and how I was doing. WHAT ???? I mean in this day and age of humanity missing out on being human.....they showed their humanity and their hearts so much. I was able to stay with my dog throughout THE whole process. They never made me feel like I was being a pain, asking too many questions, in the way, ANYTHING. They all cared. They all wanted to know "are you ok....can we get you anything". They even made a sign for my dog as we were there on her 10th birthday....WHO DOES THIS???? VEG of Encinitas does...that's who. I can't single out one person because as I said - EVERY DOCTOR and every person was the most kindest humans ever (I'm sitting her bawling as I type this!). If you ever need to visit a pet emergency place - GO HERE!! I will forever be in their debt and grateful for everything that they did for my sweet dog. Thank you VEG of Encinitas - thank you for all that you are and all that you do. read more

Kind, compassionate, friendly and professional. The Veterinarian, Kristine Pam was wonderful.

I had to bring my kitten to VEG this morning after noticing he was limping. I suspect he had a burst of zoomies while I was out, and a large standing mirror that had been leaning against the wall must have fallen on his leg. I felt absolutely horrible! From the moment we arrived, everyone at VEG was incredibly kind, caring, and empathetic. Dr. Amanda Campbell saw us quickly and was both efficient and compassionate throughout the visit. Nan at the front desk was so sweet and made the check-in and discharge process smooth and fast, which I deeply appreciated during such a stressful time. Unfortunately, my little guy will need surgery, but the team provided clear next steps and helpful resources so I didn't feel overwhelmed or lost. Even though I wish we hadn't needed an emergency visit, I'm grateful we ended up at VEG. I'll definitely return here if we ever face another urgent situation. Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of us. read more

I've now been to Veterinary Emergency Group twice for emergencies with my dog, and I honestly can't say enough good things about them. They took such incredible care of her both times. They're so thorough, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. You can tell the entire team truly cares about the animals they treat and the people who love them. What really stood out to me is that they didn't just help in the moment, they also saw us for a follow-up appointment when we couldn't get in with our regular vet, just to make sure she could safely continue her medications. I'm beyond grateful to have them nearby. I won't go anywhere else. read more

They saved our Saint Bernard's life. And they did it with professionalism, efficiency. and compassion which is a rare combination. Every staff member was proficient while being so caring to our big girl. She didn't fit in any of the crates, so they made a bed for her on the floor and pulled couches around it so we could be with her and reduce her anxiety. The cost estimates were carefully explained and we were refunded a portion because a procedure was deemed unnecessary. While deeply traumatic, it was an amazing experience. read more

My dog was experiencing not eating and she was diagnosed with kidney disease and she stayed overnight so they can balance out her levels and she was able to get balanced out. I dealt with almost every doctor at this hospital and everyone was very coherent thorough helpful, kind and attention focused. They just run a very tight ship. I live very far from this hospital, but I was willing to travel like three times in one week because they are worth the drive and they're worth all of the help that they provided so if you're trying to decide on someone, they have a very tight ship, I could not recommend them more. read more

Our little pup had a couple seizures that really surprised us and we needed help for him after normal business hours. I called around a few emergency clinics and I wasn't happy with the proposed approach and cost. Fortunately, I called VEG in Encinitas and spoke with Dr. Corona. She was super caring, attentive, and understanding. We brought him right in and got the treatment he needed to stabilize him for the next couple days. Dr. Corona is an amazing Veterinarian and we feel grateful she was there for us that night. read more

I am so grateful for everyone at VEG! My beloved senior dog recently had a scary issue crop up suddenly on a Saturday. I was really scared and when I called VEG they put me on the phone with a doctor right away, which was very helpful and reassuring to me. I went straight there, and when I arrived, they brought me and my dog directly to an exam table and Dr. Carter helped us immediately. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind and highly skilled, and gave my dog (and me!) the absolute best care. I can't thank them enough! While I, of course, hope that I don't return anytime soon, I am so grateful to know VEG will be there if I need them. read more

We have a little lop bunny who doesn't drink as much water as she should, so we've been to VEG Encinitas 3 times for gastrointestinal (GI) emergencies. Each emergency happened during the night shift, but everyone at VEG was so kind and helpful, from front-of-house to the vet techs to the doctors. We really felt that everyone wanted to help our bunny get better through her 2 overnight stays and 1 outpatient treatment. What I really appreciate about VEG is their: 1. Open floor model - We were able to stay with our bunny throughout each visit, which really helped our peace of mind. I like to think that our bunny also appreciated us being nearby during her lab tests too. 2. Transparency - The VEG staff took super detailed notes on our bunny's condition and care, and they emailed us all the docs afterwards. The documentation has been super helpful to our primary vet and to us. 3. Accessibility, especially for exotic pets - VEG is open 24/7 and they have experience with responding to bunny GI issues. They were also available every time we called with questions before bringing our bunny in, and answered our questions afterwards about how to administer her meds at home. Even though pet emergencies aren't cheap, we're so grateful that VEG is close by to help us when we need it! A special thank you to Randi, Sharlyne, Theresa, Dr. Cherie, Dr. Mortimer, Dr. Solomon, and Dr. Salazar. read more

We are visiting family in the area and brought our dogs with us and they've socialized with my familys before, but Murphy's law took effect and a couple of them got in a fight over perceived food being brought in. Luckily the Vetrinary Emergency Group was here! The experience here was very caring, clean, and not what we are use to. We got to stay with our pup the entire time, unlike some other emergency clinics we'd been to where they "take them to the back". We were brought back and helped rapidlt and welcomed by the staff really quickly. They were very thoughrough and explained everything very well. If you have a late night emergency with a oet, defnately come here. read more

I took my best boy, Loki the miniature schnauzer, to VEG this past Sunday after he'd been puking for nearly two days. Was I scared? Absolutely. Were the staff and Dr at VEG compassionate and understanding? Beyond. They went out of their way to keep me calm, and to take the greatest care of Loki. Dr. Salazar was wonderful. Also, they have the best snacks and coffee in the waiting room for us nervous pet parents. I was touched by their followup text to ensure Loki was doing better. Which, he is, and I am grateful for that. You can continue following Loki's story at PNCHELOKI on Instagram and TikTok. read more

UPDATE: VEG seemed dead set on following the recommendation of a vet that VEG referred me to which said he was NOT sick. You followed her recommendation so much so, that it was repeatedly stated to me via email that the other vet said not to do anything. So falling back on the first vets recommendation is simply a scape goat on your part. I also would not expect anyone to prescribe anything without seeing my pet. When I kept sending pictures of his dropping, I was told he was fine. He was NOT fine. I am not a veterinarian. It's up to your vet to let me know what they think they can do. Nothing was offered to me supportive or otherwise. So, please don't follow the recommendation of a doctor who says he's not sick, and also reference a doctor who said he's was terminal. You're just using both of these things to paint yourself in a better light. read more

Added several bogus and duplicate charges to our invoice AFTER we got the quote. Then they were totally incompetent with our prescriptions...prescribed a very expensive drug that had to be given immediately but nobody had it.

My dog has been to VEG twice now, and both experiences were truly 10/10.

The reality is- no one wants to find themself here. But things happen and thank goodness that VEG exists to provide 24/7 care to the most special parts of our family. Our little bun was struggling to eat properly. After a sluggish evening, we decided to bring him in to VEG. They came as a recommendation of La Mesa Pet Specialty, who didn't have an exotics doctor overnight. VEG was clear that they also aren't exotic specialist but they do see their fair share of rabbits. Mookie was treated with great care and given fluids to get him through the night before we took him to his regular doctor. The team was very kind and clearly loves the animals they treat. We sadly witnessed a family losing their cat and the team was so respectful and caring to the family. While the emergency visit cost about $200, they show you estimates prior to performing any services. We just had them do fluids and critical care and left the remaining work to be done by his primary. If your family finds themselves here, I hope things turn out well for your animal! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I brought my kitty in yesterday morning because he was repeatedly vomiting and foaming at the mouth. I called ahead and received a text link to fill out the intake paperwork and once I arrived we were seen immediately by the doctor and vet tech. Dr. Salazar and nurses Andrea and Samantha were absolutely wonderful to me and my kitty. They were very thorough and took the time to explain to me everything they were doing and what could be wrong. You can tell that they love what they do, have huge hearts for animals, and are truly passionate about veterinary medicine. They treated my kitty like he was their own. Because my kitty needed an ultrasound, the radiologist was not going to be in until later in the afternoon, so they allowed my kitty to stay there during the day and set him up with a nice little condo complete with a cozy bed, blanket, and litterbox. The little things they do to keep the fur babies comfortable meant to much to me. They have the Feliway diffuser in all the exam rooms (its a pheromone that helps calm nervous kitties), they have sound machines to play nature noises, and will even play animal videos for them if needed. I have never seen anything like it. When we were discharged, I was given very detailed notes on how to continue my kitty's care at home. Thank you so much to VEG for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!! read more

Unfortunately we also had to bring in our cat Beignet over the weekend because he accidentally swallowed some dental floss. And again, the staff at VEG was great. Beignet is not the easiest cat to handle at the vet, and the techs did a great job with him. I like how they offer blankets with Feliway because that helped a lot. One thing I was really impressed with is that Dr. Cruz did not push us to do surgery and her opinion was based on her medical expertise, not the lust for more money. And she was right, Beignet ended up passing the floss in his stool 48 hours after at home. Thank you VEG staff for taking great care of my Robo hamster Pancake and now my cat Beignet. read more

Last week our beloved, energetic orange cat Spencer suddenly became very lethargic, was cold and seemed to be breathing with great effort. We took him to VEG and immediately a doctor and two helpers rushed to examine him as we looked on. They gave him oxygen, drew blood, then took him into the back for x-rays. The entire staff was professional, personable and empathetic. During the exam, Dr. Erica Butler talked us through what she was doing and thinking. When the x-rays showed a mass (probably liquid) in his lungs, she explained that it was likely one of two things - neither one good: a heart problem, or internal bleeding. After receiving more info from radiology, Dr. Butler compassionately explained to us that it was probably a congenital heart defect. They placed Spencer in a warm oxygen chamber to monitor his vital signs, which unfortunately had worsened overnight. We got a call from another doctor at 6:15 the next morning with the sad news, and that putting him to sleep was her recommendation. It was hard to wrap our minds around the idea that our mischievous five-year-old family member who would habitually leap to the top of 10-foot-bookshelves days earlier would now be in this state. But the way they sympathetically guided us, step-by-step, through the entire ordeal gave us sad confidence in their diagnosis. We lovingly said goodbye to Spencer that morning, stroking him and letting him hear the bell in his favorite ball for the last time. So you might think it'd be hard to recommend a facility that wasn't able to save this cherished member of our family. Quite the contrary - step by step, each employee expertly and sympathetically helped us deal with the reality of the situation. VEG's unusual open-door policy where family members can drop by 24/7 and experience how their pets are being treated was a comforting departure from the usual "wait in this room while we take your pet away and do stuff" procedure. We couldn't recommend Veterinary Emergency Group more highly. read more

What a high level of care. It is a very open and transparent emergency clinic. We went straight into the treatment area our dog pet and the staff were immediately available. The vets are experienced emergency care specialists. They are collegial and diligent. Our dog had a minor procedure done and we were home within 3 hours. This is higher level emergency care than a normal clinic, prices are definitely high. If you have pet insurance and it's an urgent problem, I'd recommend this place. read more

We were referred to this emergency group when our dog was attacked by another dog. They were incredibly warm, friendly, and genuine. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience we had there. The open concept that allows you to be with your animal and see what's going on is very comforting and makes the whole process more transparent. They provided us with a nice soft blanket as well as a potty pad just in case our little guy had an accident. The staff also brought out a jar of baby food for my dog when he was being wiggly when they were trying to give him a shot. I find these services to be above and beyond and so appreciate them. I wish I could give an additional star to this business for the text they sent me notifying us that we were double charged for a medication and they would be issuing a refund. The level of honesty and care they take makes me comfortable recommending this place to anyone. Thank you VEG for treating our little guy like he was your own read more
