    From the first phone call letting them know I'd be coming in with my labor breathing cat to leaving without her, the care from VEG was something I couldn't have anticipated before I even walked in. My Princess Peach was seen immediately, triaged, and placed in an oxygen chamber, the only relief I'd seen of my girl in 24 hours. The Xrays came back quickly but with unfortunate news. Having other animals at home it was a priority for me that we all come to say goodbye, a request her care team supported. We were given as much time together as we needed, and my girl went peacefully in my arms. Everyone who I came in contact with on this day absolutely deserves to work here. Even during a hard, hard decision I was surrounded by others who wanted the absolute best for my Princess Peach. I hope her care team gets to read this, and enjoy looking at some photos. The Urquidezes thank you.

    I've been here twice so far, it's a very central emergency pet hospital for when your pet is ill. Just so you know, it appears to be a more modern and pricey place. I recommend you obtain pet insurance. Both times I've been here it was after hours and our vet was unavailable. The nice part about this place is that it's open concept and they try to include you as much as they can in the care process. If your pet is kept overnight there are some options of staying the night with your pet, which is wonderful. Our first time here our dog stopped eating and drinking, we did most of the tests but opted out of hospitalization since the price was steep. I think we spend about 3,000 +, our second time here we opted out of testing and got emergency IV + nausea meds for a little less than $ 600. They are transparent with pricing and if needed you can opt out of things and advocate for what you need based on the severity of the situation. Pets are family. They have taken great care of our pup Cleo!

    Not how I had planned on spending my Super Bowl Sunday but you know, sh*t happens. If you live in San Diego and have any pet emergencies I can't recommend VEG in Mission Valley high enough. My lab swallowed a sewing needle and Instead of spending the $4k quoted at the La mesa vet ER with a 5 hour wait, VEG saved the day and my River for just under $1k and triaged her right away. We were in and out in under and hour and now I get to enjoy the game with my girl, thank god!

    Seriously the best animal ER experience I've had! I wish we had VEG for humans. But more importantly, I'm so glad it was there for my Peach. She started to strain and pee blood so upon recommendation I took her to Dr. Cain at VEG Mission Valley late in the evening. I could not be happier with the care she received. From the moment we walked in everyone was so kind and helpful. They let us stay with her the whole time, they told us what they were doing and why, and they just seemed like people who really cared about animals. It's never easy to see pets in pain, but the VEG staff were so calm. Dr. Cain was so attentive even before we came talking to us on the phone. We left with a care plan and next steps and some answers about what was bothering Peach. Thank you! Also everyone here has fun colored hair and they took the time to bring us snacks while we waited on medications.

    I found this ER vet during a personal emergency Nobody else was available on a weekend The person I met on the phone was warm and welcoming totally understood my needs He told me to come immediately We will take care of this I drove straight there, which was close to my home Sat in the parking lot for a moment to collect my thoughts Walked in immediately greeted by two employees Invited into a private room Most of the hospital was a big open room Open and welcoming Dogs able to socialize with each other All of the minor injuries on tables in the main room keeping patients comfortable Dogs like to be around other dogs Not trapped in isolated rooms I'm sure there are plenty of surgical rooms and private rooms out of sight I was saying goodbye to my best friend of 16 years Everyone was so sweet and comforting Took as long as I needed before during and after Today I got a beautiful sympathy card with paw prints and nose prints Can't recommend highly enough

    After the surgery, warming her back up to regular temperature.

    I came in with my 7 year old border collie in the middle of the night after she was attacked by multiple dogs. They performed a 6 hour surgery and comforted both of us as much as they could. They saved my dogs life and I will forever be grateful to everyone who works there. They told me to call or come in anytime if I had concerns. It's still a long journey ahead of us but I'm thankful to know they're only a drive away. Some of the doctors even stayed longer than usual to watch her wake up from surgery. Rosie and I will forever be grateful for the entire team who works here.

    Last night, we brought our pit bull, Cali, to VCA because she was lethargic, and showing signs of…read moresevere distress. We had never been here before, and as soon as a staff member saw our baby girl, they rushed her into the back for triage. Cali was not showing any signs of distress the day before, and so we were really confused & upset seeing our bright and happy dog like this. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were called into an exam room. Dr. Cody explained what was going on with Cali & shared that her prognosis did not look good. We had to make the heart-wrenching decision to say good bye to our Cali girl. A short while later, we were in another little room with a visibly upset Dr. Cody while she administered the injections into Cali's IV. Through my tears, I could see Cali's resignation, and while I hugged her during her last breaths, I understood that this dreadful decision was the right thing to do for her. I never thought I'd have to write a review about this, yet here we are. Dr. Cody and the staff here were caring and honest, and I believe they did right by us. While this hospital is expensive, I'm grateful that they helped me to make my baby's passing as pain free and humane as possible. Peace.

My holistic vet said there were only two doctors in California doing VSEL treatment (stem cell treatment) and Dr. Sands was one of them. I had a really positive experience there! My dog Charlie had a spinal injury and surgery just two months before we showed up. He was paralyzed in his back legs from the accident and was regaining function and his ability to walk -- which was so exciting! We heard this stem cell treatment could really help him heal even more -- so I took the trek out there to do it. Dr. Sands and her team were extremely professional. They addressed all my needs and it was a lovely team of women who helped Charlie. Since the procedure Charlie has been doing amazing and is walking so well and is more energized then ever. He truly seems happier than he ever was even pre-injury! I'm so grateful for Dr. Sands and her team. I love that VCA has this integrative department that practices more holistic medicine. Also Dr Sands gave me a ton of really useful information and resources on how to support Charlie in the future and I'm so grateful! It was a great experience all around.

I brought my dog in for an ear infection and somehow ended up paying almost $1,000 after they ran a bunch of tests. In the end, I walked out with a small bottle of medicine. The doctor even told me the problem could keep coming back, so I would probably have to come back again for more medicine. A few weeks later, I came back because the medicine was finished and my dog needed another prescription. That's when things got really bad. They took my dog to the back without me, which I found extremely strange and was not comfortable with at all. I wanted to be there with my own dog, but they took him away from me anyway. Then they started pushing more tests and more charges. I told them I did not want all these extra tests, but they kept trying to convince me. It felt like they were looking for every possible way to charge me more money. The staff was extremely rude and disrespectful. I did not feel listened to, respected, or like they actually cared about helping my dog. I felt like all they saw was a way to make more money. I already spent almost $1,000 the first time, and instead of simply helping with the same problem they already diagnosed, they immediately wanted to do more tests and charge me again. This place feels like a complete money grab. I would never trust them with my dog again, and I would never recommend them to anyone. I am taking this seriously and plan to report my experience to the California Veterinary Medical Board and BBB to make sure other pet owners know exactly what happened to me so they don't go through the same and do not get fooled by these money hungry profiteers. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BRINGING YOUR PET HERE. I WISH I HAD.
