I hope you never have to visit this place, but know if you do you and your pet will be treated with…read morethe 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.

My mixed-breed dog had a swollen leg with a circular incision that wouldn't stop bleeding. I…read morebrought 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.

I cannot put into words the horror I went through after trusting BluePearl with my dog, Misty. She…read morehad ear hematoma surgery and not long after, she suffered a seizure. She collapsed on the hardwood floor, thrashing and snapping her head from side to side for what felt like an eternity -- nearly 5 minutes. I have never in my life seen Misty like this. She looked like she couldn't even breathe on her own. I truly thought I was about to watch my dog die right in front of me. What makes this even worse is that I was never warned this could happen. The staff rushed her discharge, handed her back to me without any real education or concern, and sent us home as if nothing serious could occur. There was no sympathy, no urgency, no sense of responsibility for my dog's safety. Misty weighs 52 pounds -- in the middle of this seizure I could barely even lift her. I had to drag her limp, thrashing body just to get her onto her bed so she would stop slamming her head on the hardwood floor. No owner should ever have to go through that alone. I even have video proof of this nightmare that I will attach with my review. As her owner, what was I supposed to do in that moment? I trusted these people to keep her safe, to care for her, and instead I was left completely unprepared and traumatized. The lack of compassion and communication at this hospital is inexcusable. I will never bring Misty back here again. Pet owners deserve a hospital that takes the time to properly monitor, educate, and support us through situations like this -- not one that treats our beloved pets like just another number.

I was so impressed with this group of folks. The facility was clean with coffee and comfortable…read morechairs (ok... semi-comfortable:-)). The receptionist was super friendly and I cannot say enough about the tech staff and Dr. Harwell. She spent a lot of time with us, answering lots of questions, and you could tell she really cares about the animals in her charge. I wish she practiced as a general veterinarian as I would sign up first thing. We had almost no wait and were in and out in an acceptable amount of time.

She looked through the bill and then talked to the vet and got it down to $700 and then we got another $130 back. She figured out how they could do outpatient care for him for the day and then send him home with us. When I took him to my regular vet on Monday morning, he was appalled. They had tried to talk me into a surgery for him. They had tried all kinds of stuff. It was just the worst experience I've ever had and I have been to a emergency vet quite a few times over the years with dogs and cats. I do not recommend going here if you're gonna go somewhere for an emergency vet go to VCSG in Chattanooga.
