    I brought my dog Greta to VEG in the middle of the night around 3 a.m. when her legs suddenly gave out. She was old, and I was scared and exhausted. I called first, and the person who answered was calm, kind, and compassionate, and told me to bring her right in. When I arrived, the doctor was in surgery, but the staff immediately made Greta comfortable and took care of her while we waited. As soon as the doctor was available, he came to see her. He was direct and honest: there were things they could do, but she would not get better. Her nervous system was failing. He didn't pressure me. He asked what I wanted for her. I didn't want Greta to be in pain anymore. He explained the euthanasia process clearly and respectfully. They set up an IV and moved us to a small, quiet room with low lighting and a couch, then gave us privacy so I could say goodbye. When I was ready, the doctor came back and gently gave her the injection. Afterward, they explained my options and let me decide what to do with her body. I chose to take her home. They wrapped her in a blanket, placed her carefully in a bag, and carried her out to my car for me. We didn't even talk about cost until the very end - and I was honestly surprised. The total was $230, which felt more than reasonable given the care, time, and compassion involved. Especially since this all occured in the middle of the night. This was a very difficult moment. VEG handled it with dignity, kindness, and professionalism from start to finish. I'm deeply grateful to the entire team, even though I don't remember names. They did right by my dog - and by me.

    Swelling after snake bite

    Took my dog to VEG after being bit by a snake. Dr looks at dog and says no just sprained his paw and gave him anti inflammatory meds and me a 298$ bill. Fast forward an hour later while he is home his stomach turns blue and starts to swell. I go back to VEG and the same Dr decides to actually examine him thoroughly and says oh im sorry he did get bit by a snake. I missed it. Really you don't say. I told you this. 4,000$ later and anti venom delayed several hours due to simply not doing a thorough examination I ended up taking him to another vet because he was getting progressively worse and they are only concerned with money. As I was walking out with him they say oh you owe another 698$. They take advantage of people knowing most will do anything for there pet. Do yourself a favor and take your beloved pet somewhere that actually cares for your pet and not just in taking your money.

    Our sweet cat Romeo was suddenly sick. We rushed him in and Veterinary Emergency Group acted quickly and with so much compassion. They got him comfortable, ran tests and took such good care of my senior boy. Unfortunately, it was Romeo's time to go. The staff let us know in the kindest way. They gave us time and space to say goodbye and I will forever be grateful for that opportunity. As someone that's regularly involved in rescue and foster I'm far too familiar with loosing animals and I know that you're not always given the chance to hold, love and cuddle them when they pass. I couldn't have asked for a better place to be, in a quiet room, petting his soft fur as he moved on very peacefully. I'm heart broken but so very thankful for this clinic and the care and compassion they showed when my husband and I needed it the most. If you need Emergency care for your pet I whole heartedly recommend this Veterinary clinic. The clinic is a huge open space so you can stay with your baby the entire time. You can be with them through everything they need done. This alone makes this clinic so worth going to. I cannot possibly find enough words to describe how thankful I am for the wonderful staff here.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! We brought our beloved hamster in on his last day to help put him out of his misery because he was and so much pain. These people didn't laugh at me about bringing in a hamster, they treated me so respectfully and lovingly! We were offered tissues and private room snacks coffee anything we wanted and they were so compassionate! I would never go anywhere else if I had to go through this again with my next pet. Every single one of them in there was beyond kind and loving and totally reassured us we were doing the right thing and helped us through every moment of it! And then to receive this card a week later I was just so amazingly perfect and brought tears to my eyes. God bless everyone of these workers!

    Lucy

    The compassion and care that the team at VEG gave to my sweet Lucy, was over and above. I cannot say enough about how passionate these people are. Dr. Lee me through some very tough times. Knowing my Lucy had an aggressive form of cancer, and that she was beginning to suffer with her breathing, broke me down. But they loved on her and held my hand through the process. Three days later, they gave strength to my family and I , as we said goodbye to Lucy and the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Lee, and your wonderful staff.

    We used Banfield Pet Hospital on River Marsh Drive in Jacksonville, FL, from the time my puppy was…read morejust 10 weeks old in 2021 until I moved out of state in 2025. Unfortunately, after I moved, the quality of service continued to fall apart. They could never get my medication autoship set up correctly. I called numerous times to update the information in their system and even asked them to cancel the shipments altogether. Despite those repeated requests and was told they took care of this for me, they continued shipping the medication and charging me anyway. I never received one of my refunds. On top of that, they were terrible about contacting me back when my pet was overdue for his flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Keeping pets on these medications consistently is extremely important, and their lack of communication showed a complete disregard for my pet's health. I do not recommend this location to anyone. or really any location by this company. Based on my experience, they seem disorganized, unresponsive, and completely indifferent to whether your pet receives the care and medications they need. After years of being a loyal customer, this was a very disappointing way to be treated. I'm so glad I now have a vet who cares about my pets health and is excellent with customer service. Do your research before you choose a vet bec our furbabies are our family.

She told me my dog did not need shots until ten days prior to the flight (after asking me to come in and get shots 21 days in advance...like every website says). Then, out of the blue, 3 days later AFTER flights had been ordered and the 21 day window had passed by 3 days...someone else calls me and says I need to come in. But I never even see her again. All of Banfield acted like...bummer for you. SO i guess it is competence and indifference...just what you look for in a vet. I could go on and on, but just telling you to use these guys at your OWN risk. I would NEVER use them again.

I took my Bulldog Butters here to understand why he was having a seizure like event (turned out to be syncopes) in his sleep, but only during deep sleep, then losing control of his bladder. Let's get right to business, this place runs a massive imaging scam. They will tell you they think that your pet has a tumor on their heart, do untold thousands worth of scans, let you worry all weekend, and then when you take him back in they tell you "He doesn't have a tumor, he has severe sleep apnea and he's losing oxygen due to it, we can operate tomorrow." Already out multiple thousands of dollars due to this scam, I obviously agree to pay $3200 for this surgery (that usually runs MAXIMUM $1000) to make sure my best buddy is feeling okay. They've run tests, his red blood cell count is down but assure me in a day or two he can have his surgery. I drop Butters off for surgery, pay them $3200, and am worried sick. At noon, they call and tell me he made it through surgery, everything is fine. I'm ecstatic, can finally rest and pick him up the next day. At 3:30, I get a call that my best bud is no longer with us, and that the "surgeon" wanted to put him back under because his breathing got heavier to "Trim some swelling off". Now I'm not a doctor, but I know bs when I smell it. They did not have permission to put him back under, and my buddy died so the dr could go home. Furious, I come up to the vet, and see my little boy lying dead on a rolling cart, and they bring me a receipt for the bill, tell me it will be $350 to cremate him, and $50 if I want his paw print. AFTER THEY KILLED HIM. I tried to talk to the surgeon, who ducked me at all costs. I ended up speaking to their anesthesiologist, who barely spoke English, and had conflicting stories from the surgeon, and I caught both of them in several lies. They never checked butters red blood cell count, and did not properly treat him post surgery (IE Mandatory oxygen tent and intubated until they can't stand it anymore, I learned he was only intubated for several minutes after and thrown in a cage, then given a downer to calm his breathing, prior to dosing him to put him back under which ultimately stopped his heart). I had Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M BOTH review Butters case over the past year and they said its the most absurd case of vet negligence that they've ever seen and I should reach out via lawyers. Not to mention the people running the phones and the desk for whatever reason act like you aren't worth their time and they have somewhere better to be. Obviously because they killed my friend I disputed the transaction for the surgery where they killed him on my card, which this place then disputed??? They told me the surgeon was no longer with them, and I should sue him if I felt so inclined. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TAKE YOUR PET HERE.
