I hope you never have to visit this place, but know if you do you and your pet will be treated with the upmost respect, kindness, and patience. We've had to visit twice. The first time our dog had a mass on his face. He was extremely wary and skittish coming here, even pooped on the floor from anxiety, but the staff was super calm and patient with him. They assessed him and gave us our options. When they removed the mass, they gave us detailed instructions on aftercare and encouraged us to call if we had any follow up questions. Unfortunately, the last time we went was when our dog passed. They assessed him and gave us the news, giving us ample time to grieve. Some of the staff even remembered him for the first visit. They gave us our options and sent us a card signed by the staff which we certainly didn't expect. I'm super thankful for VEG ER and the people who work there. You can tell they genuinely care about animals, and that care extends to humans too. Know you will be in good hands if you have to come here. Parking: There is a free parking lot. It's relatively small, but we never had an issue finding a spot when we came. read more

My mixed-breed dog had a swollen leg with a circular incision that wouldn't stop bleeding. I brought her to VEG, and after a 6-hour wait, they told me the leg was cancerous, and the cancer had spread to her lungs. They offered to remove the leg or put her down immediately. I asked how long she had, and they said they didn't know, but a very short amount of time. I left in tears and mourned for three days (by mourning, I mean crying non-stop). On the third day, the swelling had gone down, so I made an appointment with the regular vet. They got a blood sample from her leg, and under 10 minutes later, told me the sample was cancer-free. Her leg simply had an infection of some kind. The leg healed. Our dog is fine. When I think about how close I came to putting our sweet pup down at the advice of the careless "vets" at VEG, it absolutely breaks my heart. Oh, and I paid over $2000 for that appointment. DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE. read more

We had to bring our senior dog here close to midnight and the staff was amazing. They were so kind and reassuring to our anxious dog and very supportive of us. Our dog was seen immediately. I was just so impressed with how they communicated and treated us so personably in a high stress situation. These people love animals and it shows. read more

Super helpful. Everyone was super nice to my pup and very helpful, have been here a few times and my experience is the same every time! a little pricey but that's the draw to the 24/7 vet care. Either way, when my local vet is closed and there is an emergency, would always choose here. read more

Everyone was WONDERFUL there. We had a very sick little yorkie that was in critical condition. They gave us our options and helped us say goodbye to our boy. Like someone else said, I hope you don't ever have to go there but if you do, it is THE PLACE to go. read more

I would give them a million stars if I could. If you ever need an emergency vet, this is absolutely the place to go. The entire team was incredible -- caring, attentive, kind, incredibly smart, and honestly just a group of total badass women. We had never been to an emergency vet before, and as you can imagine it's a really traumatic experience when something happens to your pet. They took such amazing care of our cat Luna and treated her with so much patience and love through the whole process. And on top of that... when I fainted from the stress and they had to call paramedics, they immediately jumped in to take care of me too. They made sure I was okay, stayed with me, and handled everything with so much calm and compassion (which I definitely needed in that moment lol). It's hard to explain how grateful we are for the way they showed up for both of us. Our girl is coming home today because of this team, and we'll never forget how well they cared for her -- and for me -- during such a scary moment. read more

VEG ER for Pets - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I do not write many reviews. Yet, after spending time there today, I felt the need to go online and write one. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, every person you deal with is nice and empathic to you and your pet. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Like any emergency vet, it can be on the pricey side. Yet, they have many options for payment and treatment. The staff works very well together is one thing I noticed. Made you feel like a whole team of people is helping your pet. read more

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience taking in our elderly dog after she ate a lightning cable. Everyone was so considerate and kind, and I appreciated being part of the incredibly focused workflow. I have never had such excellent medical care as a human. Highly recommend, and this location will now be our go to for any emergency pet care! read more

We were initially afraid of taking our dog in because he has become very aggressive, so we were very surprised and pleased they offered to send a list of mobile vets. When that didn't work out, we had to transport our dog to them (which turned out doable because our dog was so sick he was really out of it). Once there, they knew our case and even though there were several patients, they got us into a private room immediately. As with any ER environment, there was a start and stop pattern with the visit, but they did an immediate assessment and then came up with a course of action that included lab work and an ultrasound to diagnose a treatment plan. Fortunately, we had recent veterinary reports to provide additional information because our dog has numerous medical issues. Although we were there for over six hours, we felt we were getting appropriate and satisfactory attention and as comfortable as possible in the private room. You can feel how caring the staff are for everyone there during a distressing time. read more

Just amazing! No one wants to have to go to the emergency room and they make the experience the best it can be in whatever the circumstance. You never have to leave your pet's side during your visit or stay. We went a couple of times in one weekend and they attended to our dog like it was our child and we were kept looped in throughout our time there. We never had to leave our pet alone even overnight. They will set you up to be able to be there 24/7. The customer support was better than any veterinarian services I've ever dealt with. Highly recommended!!!! read more

I was so impressed with the staff at Veg ER. They took such care with my cat and kept me updated with everything that was happening. I appreciated their kindness to me as well. such a great place for emergent situations. I highly recommend! read more

I had to put my cat down last night, and the entire team handled the situation with grace and kindness. When I first walked in, they took me back swiftly and with importance. The vet and assistant quickly checked him over and spoke to me about my options. They spoke with me with incredible grace and compassion, and did not rush me at all. It was absolutely the best experience I could have asked for out of such a horrible circumstance. read more

Disclaimer: I have only spoken to VEG on the phone and not actually set foot inside the building. My dog was being boarded for the week while we were out of town and had a pancreatitis flair-up - pooping and vomiting blood. Of course the facility called me and took him to the vet who referred him to VEG for fluids due to possible dehydration. My dog is part daschaund and extremely protective of his "pack" which includes the boarding facility caretaker...We're going to start working with Peach on a Leash again to help with this behavior issue. VEG was kind and understanding of the aggressive behavior. They were very thorough on the phone with what they were going to do for my dog - fluids and X-Rays to rule out any kind of blockage. They noted the behavior and informed me ahead of time and factually that their estimate - cost - would include sedation but there could be a chance that could be refunded if we didnt need to use it overnight. I felt comfortable with the plan and paid via Apple Pay - which was nice because I was out of town at the beach and not right near my cc. The only negative is not receiving an update after they did the X-Ray to inform me that he was clear, but I did see it in the medical records they shared when he was released. They worked with myself and the boarding facility to get my dog picked up and was very thorough with me on the phone. They got the name and phone number of the person picking up my dog to verify they had the right person and called me afterwards to let me know...which was nice. We ended up getting refund because they were able to keep him comfortable without sedation overnight WHICH IS HUGE and helpful for training purposes. THANKFUL for facilities that are able to help the more aggressive pups because I would be so sad if there was no one to help him. read more

Our overall experience with veterinary emergency group has been awesome from the minute we went in there with our little dog. (Our animals are our world). They have helped us in so many ways. They were so kind, so professional , so genuine and took everything so seriously we actually went in recently again today and they are superheroes. I'm from New York originally and take professional and care so seriously and haven't found it like this until I stepped into this place! I watched them do everything they could to help an animal in need while tending to my animal in need today and I'm so thankful that I was there to witness it and so thankful that they are the doctors for our dog. I highly recommend anybody to go to this emergency hospital. All the doctors, the staff, and people there are nurses are rockstars! Thank you VEG , Marietta! read more

This is a hard review to write since our baby passed away, but they were amazing human beings in one of hour saddest moments. The team was incredible, open and clear when discussing his medical situation, and when the time came to make a hard decision, they were so incredibly supportive. A special thank you and huge hug to Tiana who went above and beyond to support and comfort us when we had to say goodbye. read more

VEG ER for Pets - Mr. Louis Armstrong. Deeply loved by his family. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Just adding to all the fantastic reviews here. My pets have needed VEG twice, and VEG was absolutely incredible both times. It is an absolute comfort knowing they are available 24/7, and being able to stay with my pet during treatment is comforting for both my dog and me. VEG also keeps my primary vet informed and provides all treatment information to my primary. In the unfortunate event you have an emergency, VEG is the place to go! read more

I'm so grateful for these wonderful professionals. They took me into the examination room the minute I set foot in the clinic. They humanely and immediately gave my cat oxygen as he had labored breathing. They had all the state-of-the-art equipment needed to diagnose my cat on the spot, which my regular vet and even another emergency clinic failed to do. The diagnosis was grave, but they helped me make the difficult decision to humanely euthanize. They were so thoughtful, respectful, and loving to my cat and me. I don't know what I would have done without them. read more

We had a terrible experience with VEG in Brookhaven. The doctors misdiagnosed our Cavachon, treated him for the wrong thing and refused to give him any IV fluids or anything else which basically starved him. My regular vet spoke to them daily begging them to reassess his situation but they refused to do so. The vets even suggested euthanizing him based on their misdiagnosis. Be careful if you take your pet there. read more

They took amazing care of my 15 year old chihuahua. They were extremely efficient and kind. I was in and out in about 2 hours.

This is a hard review to write but I want to do it before I forget. Our cavalier, Soda, has had congestive heart failure for a few years and last night he got really sick so we rushed him in but he passed away as my husband and daughter pulled in. They came out to get him and tried CPR but it was too late. They were so amazingly kind and supportive and went to great lengths to save him. The person that took my initial call was so patient despite my sobbing and having trouble explaining my emergency. As I write this I'm still crying but I know despite the outcome he couldn't have been in better hands. I highly recommend them and greatly appreciate their care and support. read more

If there were 10 stars, that's what I would have chosen. 5 stars just isn't enough! I went to Veterinary Emergency Group last week and could not let the opportunity to review them pass another day. The staff is amazing and greeted us literally at the door upon arrival. When you go there, it will likely be a stressful situation for you and your pet. They couldn't have been any kinder or more compassionate throughout the entire visit. I hope you never have to visit this location, but if you do, you will have chosen the best place to go!! Again 10 stars! ********** read more

Had brought my dog angus there a couple of days ago. He went in there with breathing problems . He had to stay there for a couple of days. He got round the clock care and they notified me constantly with updates on his progress. He has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart. I was able to go there anytime and they even have a place where you can sleep too. They would have even let me sleep in the cage with him if I wanted too. He could not have gotten better care . Everyone there is so dedicated and compassionate. read more

Thank you for helping our Pug after she ate quite a lot of hot cocoa mix. They were able to easily induce vomiting to get a lot out of her, give fluids, and charcoal to help pass what was still in her. My 9.5 pound pug weighed over 14 pounds when we came in. Before we left probably 1.5pounds had already gotten off of her. She has been acting like herself again. We did opt to take her home overnight to monitor her ourselves. We took her heart rate every hour and let her drink water and go potty constantly. I do love that she could have stayed overnight and we could have stayed with her too. Monitoring her ourselves gave me a little more peace than me being up all night worrying and calling to check on her constantly. We are almost to the 24 hour mark so I think we are out of the woods but we will continue to monitor her and give her some digestive medicine that we brought home. Her primary vet will see her Tuesday for a check up. The staff is so great with animals. Thank you for loving her and giving her excellent care in a fatal situation without intervention. We were seen by the doc probably less than 5 minutes after arriving. Vets cheaper and closer to us had 6 hour waits to be seen. You can find cheaper emergency vets but you get what you pay for. Luckily we didn't have to bring her back a second time in the middle of the night/morning as she continued to quickly improve upon leaving. Luckily we were able to stay up with her all night as we don't have human children. Thank you all so much for your patience and swift care. read more

I would give 6 out of 5 stars. This was by far my best vet emergency experience ever! Brand new, state of the art facility with an open concept. The staff were the most positive upbeat caring team I have ever met. You are with your pup the entire time and they take care of you too. This is the first review because this location just opened. Bear approved! read more

Great care. So scary when your pet has a health emergency late at night. The vets and techs were so supportive and efficient.

My dog was taken to this 24hour emergency care for 2 days before he was euthanized. Drs and staff are nice. However, night time Dr has some room to improve. She is lack of experience. My dog did not urinate for 8 hours, when I told her that my dog's belly seemed to explode at any time, he was very uncomfortable. I was hoping she could do something, but she said there was no change since she was there. She could have performed catheter earlier. She eventually did, which was good. Some doctors do not understand that pet parents feel hurting seeing their loved ones in pain, It hurts parents tremendously. This facility is too noisy. Nurses talk loud. I am not sure if that is supposed to be that way? I expect a more quieter environment when you pay $2250 per day for the service. One nurse who took care of my William on his last night on 6/21/2024 is very nice and caring. read more

I had the hardest night a pep parent could have the staff at VEG were beyond supportive, thoughtful, empathetic and so incredibly talented. I could not recommend them enough for how professional and supportive they were. read more

We received a call from the early morning dr. saying our cat was doing poorly and was very sick. We were offered plasma transfusion or humane euthanasia. With the clear emphasis on the euthanasia as the correct choice. In retrospect we feel we let the cat down by not doing the plasma and the better choice would have been to recommend the plasma perhaps at a reduced rate as we already had spent 3000 plus on the emergency service. We still don't know how much the plasma would have cost. With that being said the two dr's we dealt with were excellent and the front desk was outstanding. Just a feeling that we should have at least tried the plasma. thanks ****DISREGARD WRONG EMERGENCY VET********* read more

I don't often review places on Yelp, but I wanted to review VEG. My dog was sick about a month ago, and I ended up at VEG. The team was compassionate, gentle, and communicative. We had to wait due to more pressing emergencies (as is expected), but the staff came in to check on us and keep us posted. I felt really comfortable there and had a great experience. Grateful they could help me little guy. read more

I called them in a slight emergency with a duck (we named him Kazoo) we found that needed treatment and then a rescue/sanctuary situation. They were gracious, sooo helpful, and generous to us. It was the holiday weekend so no rehabbers were responding and we didn't want the duck to get hurt wandering around. I cannot express how helpful they were and how much we appreciated them taking him in (ducks, I'm sure are not their usual patients, so I'm certain it wasn't convenient for them). We felt relief that he was in good hands. Everyone there was courteous, friendly and compassionate from the first phone call. If I ever have an emergency with my pets they will be my go to from now on! You really feel helpless when you find a lost/hurt animal especially after hours or if it's wildlife. Thank y'all so much for being there for us! read more

VEG ER for Pets - My bunny - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

My dog Lacie, a 9 year old shihtzu was showing some troubling symptoms. She was losing balance. was lethargic and whining and barking non stop. I called the Emergency group and told them we were on​ our way. When we were 5 minutes away, Lacie died in my arms. When we arrived, the attendants performed CPR with no results. Everyone said they were sorry. They moved her to a room so we could say good bye. My husband asked for the bill and then I told her that I would go get my check book and she said," Oh no.We don't take checks." My husband and I are seniors on a fixed income. So then we said that we wanted to have her cremated. Then one attendant said that we could not have her cremated until the bill was paid. I was already crying and upset about my dog and this upset me even more. I feel that these people are more concerned with the bill than us or our dog. Vets take checks and our bill was over $1000. Poor treatment of a grieving family!!!!!! read more

The entire staff showed great hospitality, was very caring of my best friend's chihuahua during a stressful time. They were very professional, the facility was clean, and the communication and customer service was excellent. I also observed how gentle they were with other animals in the facility. A+ read more

Very caring staff. I had to put down my cat and they were very patient and gave me the time I needed with Felix.

if you truly LOVE your pet and they need critical care please do not use this hospital. Trust me when I say most of the staff there especially Lisa who has zero compassion for any human or animal do not care about what your animal or you are going through. We are still finding specialists to fix or poor pup after a surgery there. I have never left a review in my life but I wish I had seen a review like this that could have helped me make another choice for my swest lab. read more

Dr. Very attentive to my dog and staff was very caring as well. Gave recommendation of an eye specialist to see.

I have to agree with Diane C regarding the night shift staff. In the early morning hours around 1:00 am, I brought my dog whom I had only 6 months to VEG and said she was coughing constantly following an episode of thrashing on the floor (can't say it was a seizure because it didn't have the earmarks of one). I also asked to have her stabilized so that I could take her Auburn University Veterinary Critical Care, where I have direct connections with that program. The vet immediately said that's too long a drive and my dog might not survive. Dr. BN did an ultrasound and showed me fluid in my dog's lungs and described what they could do. I asked what the success rate is for the treatment: 70%. Of course, I accepted the treatment to give my dog a chance to live. Six hours later, my dog was dead and I was there the entire time worried but hopeful of the 70% success rate while sitting in front of the oxygen cage watching her die. If the prognosis after the ultrasound was so bad that my dog would die hours later in the oxygen cage, I would have chosen to euthanize her immediately, instead of making her SUFFER all those hours. If the radiology report which Dr. BN interpreted indicated hopelessness and if she had told me so, I would have chosen euthanasia. Communication skill is weak, largely because the doctor is NOT seasoned and she was the only vet on duty with patients coming in after me (one other dog died on the table in front of its owners' eyes, too). In an emergency, you expect highly experienced doctors to diagnose and administer care, not a vet recently graduated from vet school. Recently graduated vets need to get their internship at a regular veterinary clinic for at least a couple of years to acquire the necessary soft-skills. Our pets are beloved family members who trust us to protect them from harm and suffering. I felt I betrayed that trust to my dog at VEG and that's devastating. Though Dr. BN said that she may be harsh (to which I said that I would prefer directness, even if it is harsh), she lacked the skill to say, "Your pet is unlikely to survive and she's suffering". Instead, she said that euthanizing would have to be my own decision. Is there a VEG policy to not recommend euthanizing early in the visit? Pet owners don't have the knowledge of how critical conditions progress and the signs that indicate hopelessness; the vet has to provide that assessment to us so that we can make the decision to euthanize. Even my regular vet who has cared for the other 5 dogs I've had, would deliver his prognosis AND recommendation for euthanasia, to spare my dogs suffering OR allowed me to go to Auburn University's Veterinary Critical Care. That's truly compassion. May VEG develop that compassion and learn to deliver a bad prognosis with a euthanasia recommendation, as soon as it's determined to be hopeless. Otherwise, this new emergency vet care model is undue suffering for pets and pet owners. read more

' let's see what did they say..... ' they don't want money to get in the way of your pet' .... until it does. if a $200 visit fee was a lot to consider, then $1000 for x-rays, is completely out of range. and bewildering. settled for palliative care and $300 for a shot and it's done nothing to help my dog. she's still salivating and coughing, and I will still have to go to a vet in the morning... yep,i should have listened to my husband - wait until tomorrow this was just a place to suck you dry.... read more

This is my first visit, and so far I am quite pleased. My cat suddenly started showing symptoms of gastrointestinal upset and I did not want her to become dehydrated or suffer more severe consequences. I usually take my pets to Blue Pearl, because I've had a long term past relationship with them, but when they told me, they had a four hour wait, I thought I'd look elsewhere. VEG has a most interesting set up. You and your pet are escorted through the treatment room to a private room with a big window looking into the treatment area. The doctor explains that some people are curious and others don't want to see what goes on in the treatment room. You can close the blinds on the window if you are uncomfortable. You are even told that you can walk around and ask questions. Everybody here has been super nice and professional. It was impressive to see the level of compassion that everyone displayed in dealing with each patient that I saw. Even though it's an hour away from where I live, I will likely bring my pets here. should the need arise again. read more
