I unfortunately had to bring my 12 year old dog to be euthanized. I arrived at the Veterinary emergency group after I initially went to the VCA in Savvy Ranch. The care and sense of urgency I received from the VCA was not conducive to how I wanted my dog's last moments to be so we left and drove down the street to this facility. Let me tell you, they were kind, and triaged the situation within minutes of us arriving. The vet came in moments later to offer his condolences and the kindness that was given by their techs when inserting her IV lines was so appreciated. Given the emotional circumstances I truly felt everyone involved demonstrated their empathy and really made the situation more manageable. Thank you so much to everyone involved. We truly appreciated your efforts. read more

Amazing staff! I love how you can be by your dog's side throughout the whole time they're getting treated. Explained everything to us as well and pricing was reasonable for an emergency vet. Thankful they're here read more

This hospital is such an amazing place to take your animals for care. They have so many comforting and kind staff. I would absolutely recommend this hospital to all pet owners. read more

Excellent in every way! I have never had such a wonderful experience and immediate, kind care. I would give them 10 stars if I could. The best emergency vet hospital experience that I ever had! Thank you! read more

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR PET TO LIVE! Our dog was having breathing problem so we took her in on the weekend since our specialist wasn't open on the weekend. She has underlaying health issues that has been well under control over years. She has history of pneumonia so just want to be safe, we want to check if she got that again with an xray so she can take antibiotic earlier than Monday. The doctor did a basic check up, no blood test, no xray(they refused to do an xray, saying they cant do it without putting our dog's life in danger) They directly took our dog to the oxygen room without asking for our agreement, they gave her medicine without asking for our agreement. And the doctor just bluntly said we only have two options, either we put her down or have her stay in intensive care in oxygen room for 12 hours. We know our dog, she was eating drinking and everything ok, they said she's going in a critical heart failure and is guilt tripping us to decide on that two options without any thorough tests. From years of owning senior pets and visiting vets, we learned a lot from this type of suspicious diagnose and decided to take her home. We took our dog to our trusty specialist that we've been for years on Monday, they did an xray easily and it was just pneumonia and her heart is still under control with no worsening. WE ARE FURIOUS!! They tried to persuade us to kill our dog for their profit, either killing or trying to suck blood out of concerning pet owners. If it's not that we have been seeing too many of this type of vet in the past with traumatizing experience, we might have believed in them and caused more harm to our senior dog. If you want your pet to have the right diagnose, DO NOT GO HERE! They will do everything to try to get you to pay for anything they can. They will see your senior pet as a bucket of money to drain and not cherish their precious time. Our dog is already recovering from taking antibiotic and back to her normal self after the right diagnose. Imagine pet owners without the heart breaking experience trusting this place just making me furious!!! So here I want to warn any pet owner who cherish their pets' life, go somewhere else! read more

This review is for Dr. Cody and the amazing VEG staff. Our German shepherd started having nosebleeds out of nowhere and we had no clue what to do. We went to another emergency vet hospital which provided little help, but we are glad we found this hospital! We called VEG and were able to speak with Dr. Cody immediately, explaining our shepherd's symptoms. The entire staff was calming and supportive throughout the entire process. As soon as we walked in, they treated our dog with so much kindness, respect and compassion. We were very stressed and emotional, and the staff managed to bring a smile on our faces while patiently listening to our concerns. We were able to stay with our dog the entire time while they took his vitals and blood work. Dr. Cody was helpful in explaining our next steps. I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders knowing we have a reliable, wonderful place to take our fur baby for any emergencies. Thank you so much!! read more

Staff were very nice, but they capitalize on pain. They wanted to charge us $6,000 to save our cat from a blocked urinary tract. He was only 2 years old and we could not afford it. We had no choice other than to euthanize him. They at least waived the fee for that. Capitalizing on the desperation and pain of others is the American medical system. Very sad. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Brought my Rottweiler here for some test and they literally handled everything with ease. So much love and dedication is flowing thru this place. And also JOEY IS LITERALLY THE BEST EVER. Love him. read more

Honestly one of the BEST services I have ever received. My 6 month old puppy wasn't feeling too well and early Sunday morning so he needed to be seen immediately. I took him to about emergency vet before I took him here wanted about an hour to get an update, wasn't able to see him it be with him and something just didn't sit well. I called VEG and Amanda picked up the phone I told her what my puppy Enzo was experiencing told me to make sure my puppy was okay enough to bring him in. I told her I would call her back to confirm with the other staff she was so caring that SHE FOLLOWED UP WITH ME. I immediately knew that I had to bring them here. Amanda made the team aware so they can have O2 and everything ready for Enzo and the team was so reassuring it made me feel at ease. The best part I was able to be by my puppy! We had to stay the night and everyone made us feel at home they're all so attentive and ALL of their personalities are amazing! They followed up consistently on Enzo's wellbeing and also mine. They also have rooms where you can stay with your pup if they aren't on O2 which eventually we were able to go into. Never have I ever had such an amazing experience as how I did as soon as I stepped in the door with Enzo with any other vet. If I could give one million star rating I would but sadly yelp only gives us 5 lol thank you so much team for helping my puppy slowing but surely get better and making him feel so loved and also allowing me to be able to be a part of his experience here ! Enzo loves you guys ! Thank you so much read more

See all

This is the cleanest, friendliest, most wonderful place anyone could ever bring their pets to, especially in an emergency. We called ahead of coming and had the most amazing customer service and the vet got on the phone immediately. Upon arriving after midnight, we were greeted with such kind, caring staff. They made us feel extremely comfortable and took care of our cat Ghost immediately. We highly recommend this Vet to anyone that needs friendly, fast service. The prices were extremely reasonable as well! Thank you again VEG family for helping us in our time of need! read more

had a HORRIBLE experience at the Anaheim HILLS Veg vetranarian. They called me a racist because I told the assistant I couldn't understand the vet, they told me to leave after my 2 dogs and I had been waiting for 3 hours. The Dr said my dog was seeking attention, and that's why she was moaning in pain. He said she didn't have pancreatitis. She was just looking for attention. He was WRONG, she ended up having pancreatitis. It was a HORRIBLE experience. Clearly, they DO NOT care about animals. When I went back in to get my med list, women said. Get out of here, or I will call the police. I was scared for my dog that was very ill and it was horrible what they did. VCA emergency in Anaheim HILLS gave the correct diagnostic and was very pleasant to work with. read more

Second Visit, my elderly dog giving me the worst anxiety when anything happens to her these days. Today I came home from work and it looked like her eyelid was bulging out. Called my vet and they are always jammed pack and it is hard to get in. I didn't want to chance waiting for a cancellation so I brought her in here again. 1000/10 would recommend this place. The staff is absolutely incredible, making you feel at ease that you are doing everything you can, they are compassionate about what they do and making your pet their priority. No matter how many people they see, they remembered me as soon as I walked in. Dr. John Cody is very personable, patient and walks you through every step of the way. The staff I worked with today was Holly and Chloe, they make you feel at home and don't try to rush you out just to make money. They work to make sure that your animal and yourself are better than when you came in. Chloe even tried the doggy treat before giving it to mine, she wanted to make sure it didn't taste bad. This lighten up my mood and made me laugh. They are walk in only and open 24/7, so you never need to worry about making appointments or if they are closed, you can just show up! read more

Took our beagle in who was having visible discomfort and the techs, staff, and travel vet Dr. Elfenbein were so incredibly nice and accommodating! Dr. Elfenbein was the best veterinarian we've ever been to who gave us real and informative answers. Awesome facility! read more

I brought my Shepherd mix in because he wasn't acting like himself. He was lethargic throughout the day and became restless at night. We took him to VEG and the entire experience was a positive one. We were welcomed at the door, waited for a short time and the vet greeted us with kindness. I'm so glad VEG is available 24/7. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I can take my dog in, in the event of an emergency, to kind and thoughtful experts. read more

At the last minute of needing emergency care for my dog I was told about VEG- Veterinary Emergency Group. They were more than worth the 30 minute drive to get there. It is a place where you are never separated from your pet which is good for you and good for them. You enter and your pet receives care in a large open room where the family can hold the paw or pet the body while your dog gets iv, lab work or whatever else is needed. We entered about 9pm and my dog was put on seizure watch for the night. They had a little room for families and provided a bed where my dog Buddy could lay beside me all night rather than in a back room alone and frightened if he ever came out of his seizure status. The staff and Vet were so accommodating and helpful for whatever my Buddy needed. They monitored him all night and the vet spoke to me in detail about Buddy's status and realistic recovery. I have been telling all the pet owners I know about this wonderful place that bridges the gap between your pet needing skilled medical care and not being separated from their human family. Heartfelt thanks to the team at VEG that spent the night with me, my family and my pal Buddy. read more

My daughter had to bring in sick puppy, everyone we encountered were so kind and caring and very skilled at their jobs, from the vets to the techs. No one wants to find themselves in the position of having to take their pet to the hospital but if the situation arises 100% would recommend coming here for the best care. read more

My rabbit, Waffles, was in GI Stasis and it was difficult to find a vet available soon enough to treat him since they are considered "exotic" pets. We are so grateful we found VEG and were able to bring him in right away. Most clinics only have 1 vet available at a time but VEG had multiple vets and staff members so we were able to be seen as soon as we got in the door. They were so gentle with him and even allowed us to go into a separate room so that he could free roam while they ran tests. He had to be hospitalized overnight and the staff encouraged us to stay overnight with him! They even have a pull out couch, sheets, and pillows to make us as comfortable as possible. They are open 24/7 so we were able to go back and be with him in the middle of the night. Turns out he was experiencing pain because he needs his teeth trimmed asap. He just had his annual check up with another vet a few weeks ago who said he was fine so we will now be taking him to the vet that VEG recommended instead. Dr. Bianca Wellard was so kind and helpful in answering my millions of questions, I wish she could be our primary vet! I can't recommend VEG enough and will be taking all 5 of our pets there for any future emergency needs! read more

My Husky had a seizure at 1:30 am. First of all, I called them and the doctor (not an assistant) got on the phone with me to access the situation. She (dog) had a seizure cluster so the Dr. recommended we transport her there. The entire staff was outstanding; friendly, caring and compassionate They put my dog on a treatment table and the wife and I were able to stay with her the entire time they were treating her. Once they stabilized her they had a room for us to stay overnight if we chose to do so, with our dog staying in the room with us. I was extremely impressed with the entire staff and facility. I am truly grateful for the incredible care they showed to us and our dog. read more

They did not give the level of care to my dog that I had hoped. They were not watching her as closely as they should have therefore she ended up eating a lot of her poop and I was blamed for that. She also got covered in poop many times due to her condition and instead of helping her and being sympathetic the doctor just seemed annoyed that they had to bathe her several times which I have to say they did a very bad job of as poop was still on her in a lot of places after picking her up . At one point I saw blood coming out of her iv. I quickly notified a nurse and she said oh no that isn't supposed to happen let me take care of that. If I hadn't notified them how long would she have stayed like that? They also sedated her so badly that she couldn't even walk, lift her head, open her eyes or even acknowledge me. They claim she was upset in the cage and trying to get out but come on that sedated? That was enough to put a horse down, insane! In addition after a very expensive night there they just said well we can't do anything else for her here so take her to a specialist instead of telling me that it was her time, she was suffering and that it was best to just let her go. In addition, when we were getting discharge instructions and medications and about to leave the Dr, we had been dealing with Dr. Ortiz didn't even come over, wish us luck or say goodbye. It was very unprofessional and not very kind at all! Needless to say we picked her up, took her back to our regular vet the next day and he was able to tell us right away she's suffering and we aren't going to be able to make her better, best thing to do is let her go. I luckily was able to do that with peace of mind, frankness from the doctor and with the vet's entire staff's care and love. I would never and will never return here again! They give bad care to the animals, do not watch them 24/7 like promised and don't seem to want to be bothered nor disturbed. And DR. Ortiz was the absolute worst! Save your money and got to an ER that cares and treats your animal with love, care and respect! read more

No matter the situation or pet you have these guys will do whatever they can to be there for you. VEG Anaheim went above and beyond to help us with our dear Guapo (potbelly pig). My family and I are so grateful they did everything they could for us.They went out of their way to help us get him the help he needed. Every single person working was so kind, not only did they go above and beyond for Guapo, they would've and did the same for my mom and I. Despite their long shifts, and hard days it seems, everyone was so warm, you can tell they truly care for your baby as if they were family. I cannot stress enough how amazing everyone was/is. I greatly appreciated the communication and transparency, and above all the kindness. I have been and will continue recommending these guys to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything guys have done and continue to do read more

Had to write a review. This hospital is amazing. One of our recently rescued dogs from barstow had an emergency on a Sunday night. We could not find any other emergency hospitals to help this hospital. Welcomed us with open arms jumped on our urgent dog that we were on The Verge of losing. They took care of her and she recovered amazingly. This staff is so caring compassionate. An did such an amazing job with her and making me feel so comfortable the entire time that I will always keep this as my emergency hospital for my non-profit rescue. And also for my personal dogs. If you are looking for an emergency hospital. If you are ever, unfortunately in that position, please try this hospital, they are absolutely amazing. The doctors are wonderful. The staff is just so friendly and compassionate and caring. And they really do take amazing care of your animals. If not for them my sweet little rosie would not be here today. A huge THANKYOU to VEG and the entire hospital staff YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. read more

Some of the nicest vets and nurses I have ever met. They were so committed to making sure my dog was taken care of. They were upfront of all the costs and I was able to be with my dog the entire time. So grateful for this location to be here! read more

If I could give a 0 star I would. Came here about 1 month ago for my German shepherd when he had an emergency with his tail. His tail got infected awhile ago after another vet did an operation a year before and just made it 10x worse and didn't want to hold themselves accountable for their mistake. That one was anaheim hills pet clinic FYI. When I brought my boy here they legit charged me 1100$ to barely look at my dog for 7 minutes and we explained what was going on with him and after paying that amount, the doctor legit asked me WHAT WE WANT TO DO. I brought my dog for you to help him and I paid the 250$ consultation fee and YOU ARE THE DOCTOR AND YOU ARE ASKING ME WHAT WE SHOULD DO??? Thankfully I held in my emotions instead of asking what I originally wanted too. My dog had really bad bleeding from his tail and we told her he's already lost too much blood and we don't think taking off the wrapping for him to lose more is a good idea. She ended up still doing it. Just staring at my dog while he's losing a bunch of blood and I legit had to go out of my way like "hey what are you doing he's losing pints of blood and she wasn't even caring to stop it or do anything. The nurse actually did more then the actual doctor. And then they sold us medication for 800$ and when we left we found out we can get the same medication everywhere else for 90-180$. 1 month later my boy got worse and I took him to the emergency vet hospital in Corona. They took him in right away gave him an IV did blood work and X-rays in the span of 10 mins and unfortunately my boy had got really bad cancer in his lungs from a tumor that spread from another part of his body. He couldn't walk and barely was breathing. This place could've done there job 1-2 months ago when I brought my boy in, but instead was just wondering how much money they can get out of us. At Corona I paid 950$ for the consultation X-rays bloodwork and to stabilize my dog. While this place charges me more and couldn't even do any tests to see what was going on or refer us to this place, only was able to refer us to another bunch of scammer vets like themselves. My dog was like my son and he was my everything to me and my family. Even if this place did actual tests or offer us that in the first place maybe I could've done everything for my boy before it was too late and at least try my best to help him no matter what. He recently just turned 8 years old and the life and treatment I've always given him made me hope I wouldn't have to wait for this day for another few more years. But it happened last night unfortunately. So please if you love your pet like I do, DO NOT COME HERE, YOU ARE 100% BETTER OFF DRIVING TO CORONA OR ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THEN HERE. YOUR BETTER OFF RISKING YOUR PETS LIFE GOING FURTHER THEN COMING HERE. THEY WONT EVEN SHOW SYMPATHY OR DO ANYTHING IF YOUR DOG IS ON THE VERGE OF DEATH UNTIL THEY KNOW YOU HAVE MONEY. Wish I can remember the doctors name there but lucky for her I can't. Dr Omar in Corona was hands down an amazing person and human who actually cares for your loved pets and showed compassion and sympathy and the whole staff there did what real vets are supposed to do. So please do yourself and your pet a favor and stay away from this scam center read more

Every single person we interfaced with clearly cared about my pet and me. The facilities are amazing and the concept of being able to stay with your pet the whole time is great - for both the pet and owner. They even offer snacks, water and coffee. We will definitely return in the event of an emergency. read more

My puppy got ahold of a gopher and we were worried he could have gotten poisoned or sick from it so we rushed to this emergency vet. They were AMAZING! They immediately checked out my little guy and let us know that there was nothing they could do but to keep an eye on him. They don't try to scam you into running a bunch of tests, when not needed. Holly was extremely awesome as well! We actually brought in the said gopher and she took it back and checked it out and assured us our pup didn't get much of it. Anyways 10/10 experience and would highly recommended this place to take care of your fur babies! read more

I think this facility prides themselves on looking the best instead of being the best. Some of their staff is good, but this seems like a money grab and they try to squeeze every ounce out of the patient no matter what. I recently took my dog in because he is a puppy he's always putting things in his mouth and he's a rather large breed, always end up swallowing rocks. He has done this before and the rock pass this time. I bought him to the vet to this vet told them his history and they went the opposite way only to tell me I spent $2500 that I was right so now my dog is still suffering Out mortgage payment and they have 100% failed in helping my dog in anyway shape or form read more

My dog was attacked by a family members dog late on a Friday night, about midnight. We are in Corona, and called around for emergency 24/hr vets and they all had 3-6 hour wait times. After calling VEG, they had a way shorter wait so we decided to drive a little farther to this ER and I'm so happy we did. Everyone we spoke to went out of their way to make us all feel calm and comfortable. The ER is an open floor plan, so you get to stay with your pet the entire time. We were seen pretty quickly because of the severity of the bite, the Vet was awesome. After seeing that our dog was stable he saw to a few other pets that were more critical (completely understandable ). We saw everything from dogs, to a kitten, hamster, guinea pig, and even a ferret! They were very transparent about costs, and made sure we understood the breakdown of everything. Unfortunately we weren't able to pay the original price of about $1,300, so they worked with us. They gave us multiple options as to how we could trim down the bill, while still keeping it safe for our pup. They also gave multiple payment options, one of them included affirm. In the end the bite was not as severe as we thought, so we opted to just get all the necessary meds and schedule a primary vet appointment asap, which ended up being $450 for the emergency visit AND meds. They even texted us on Sunday to see how our pup is doing. Thank you VEG for your outstanding service! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Brought our dog in because we got home and she would not move. Wouldn't walk, shaking, panting. She seemed like she was in a lot of pain possibly in her hips as that was where the shaking was coming from. We wanted to make sure she didn't hurt her hips jumping up or down from the bed. We got there and she ended up being able to walk around a lot better out of the blue. We were unsure if this was from the adrenaline or anxiety that she was feeling from being in the office or if she genuinely felt better. The doctor took her blood pressure and watched her walk around the room and that was it. Said they did a full exam and charged us $225. No recommendations, no possibilities as to what could have caused this, no information on what to look out for if this happens again. Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of time considering they did the absolute bare minimum and still charged us for a "full exam." This place is a scam and will never come back here. read more
