    I miss her so much.
    Eileen F.

    Good: people seemed to really care and got my pup in fast. Bad: the cost was so much more than CSU-vet hospital which maxed out my credit limits and her insurance. I didn't get to stay with her and was stuck in the waiting room. She was discharged with over $500 worth of meds that she had one dose of before she died after I rushed her up to CSU a day after discharge.

    Thank you for saving my cat's life when he had a urinary obstruction in the middle of the night. He made a full recovery and is back to being a very happy boy. He genuinely would not be here if it weren't for the veterinary emergency group services.

    Chappy as a puppy
    Blu M.

    My brother took our family dog Chappy to VEG after he had suffered what appeared to be seizures. My brother was helped immediately when he got there at 6pm and they gave our dog anti seizure medications to no avail he wasn't getting better and so we had to make the difficult decision to put Chappy down. This was probably one of the most traumatic experiences I've faced in my life so far, but I think it's important to write this review because the staff were very compassionate and caring for Chappy and they did try their best. Chappy was a senior dog, 13 years old and ofcourse with elderly dogs there's a decline, but it doesn't hurt any less to lose him. The staff were kind and gentle, didn't kick us out and allowed us to spend as much time as we needed with Chappy before and after he was put down. They were reasonable with the pricing for cremation and also worked with us since our budget was tight and this was so unexpected. I'm going to miss Chappy dealer but appreciate VEG for their compassion and allowing him to pass peacefully.

    Waking up after a smooth operation!

    Great experience, wonderful and kind staff and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Would come here again if I ever need to visit the vet at 3am! Thank you so much for to the team working this morning.

    Such care and compassion for my cat who has been sick for several days. They were honest about what were higher priority tests to get done based on my schedule. They also helped me find a finance option that didn't completely destroy me

    Exploring while waiting for the vet ladies

    All clear. Took Juni to Veterinary Emergency Group with an elevated temp. This is the baby that I worry about the most! She is so sensitive and emotional.. Again - NO WAIT!!! AND - it was my first time being allowed to be with my cat while they get blood drawn and their bladder poked for a urinalysis. We all survived. I played Lo-fi music on my iphone in the private room they put us in the whole time to help ease her anxiety. Poor juni baby. They did a series of tests and there was one poke she hated and I guess they said it could sting a little at the end and she hissed at them. Poor baby! She is feeling better now and back to her playful self! I had never been to an open space ER like this since I got my cats during the pandemic and was never allowed to accompany them. It can be really disturbing to hear other pets in pain so I recommend to try to request a private room if you have a sensitive pet and bring some calming music! They are also connected to VCA so Juni's main vet called us to follow up - they had received her test results and summary! The staff is friendly and understanding. I really appreciated that!

    The open concept! (I had permission to take this photo)

    My dog and I had a rough day yesterday. His was rougher than mine. I had to take him to the emergency vet and I've never been impressed with VCA. After some googling I came across VEG. Almost All of the reviews were positive, even ones without a positive outcome. I even searched most recent and the lowest ratings to read them all (skim them all because I was in a hurry). With all of the positivity I saw from people I decided to come here. I've never had such a positive experience. The open concept is new to me, and I LOVE IT. I was able to stay with my doggo during the whole process, which relieved both of our stress. They called it a "fear free environment" and I have to say, I wish more places did things this way. I actually said "you guys all like each other", because I was astounded. Lol. Turns out their model is to be inclusive, and keep a positive vibe going. This place passed the vibe check, for sure! Everyone was knowledgeable and kind. They worked with me on what to order for my dog and what I could afford. I am so grateful. My doggo, Sushi, (see attached photo) is feeling much better! The conservative treatment we went with seems to be helping. After some reflection, I think he got giardia from drinking out of the old bowl of water I left out for the overheating squirrels. My dog is still tired (he was sick all weekend so I don't expect miracles), but he is definitely feeling better. I would like to thank VEG from the bottom of my heart.

    Inspection

    Rios was sick. The cat was real sick. Google took us to VEG. As we walked in we were immediately greeted by a friendly staff. A quick assessment of symptoms and he was whisked away. We stood by his bedside as they evaluated him for injuries. We were offered a private room where they did a closer inspection. The doctor was kind and the assistants were great and they offered different courses of treatments. They even offered to customize the estimates before decisions were made on the course of action. There was a coffee machine in the main lobby. Delicious. As we were waiting the staff constantly kept the place clean by mopping floors and cleaning cages. It smelled clean and disinfected in the whole facility. I wondered to myself if this was a learning ER as there were at least thirteen people milling about. All in all great service. Rios got treatment, X-Rays and we will be back if necessary.

Doctor Park and Doctor Nikki H were the two with us most of the time and they would make sure we had a nice comfortable room, snacks, coffee and even coloring books and pencils for my toddler. They certainly could've done their job and we'd have been satisfied, however their passion for care of (any) animal clearly showed in how much effort they put in to our visit. You'd have thought we were their only patient in the office! And when you have to take your pet to an ER you're already on edge and stressed and they did everything in their power to help ease ours. I highly highly recommend and if we ever do need emergency care, this is the place we will be - and I recommend the same for everyone else. Thanks so much!

The employees and kind and comforting, as they should be. I appreciated that. The drawback is that before they even begin - the doctor gives you a bill to pay. When any additional procedure is needed - the doctor hands you another bill to pay. This occurred a minimum of 4 times while I was there. The pressure of the bill and having to make life and death choices makes for a not clear-headed decision. I understand that they want their money. I'm sure that can be an issue - however - putting a clip board with a paper to sign and a card charger in front of your face throughout the time there became a bit much. I was getting angry by the end instead of giving my baby the support that I should have been. I don't know the solution from the doctors viewpoint - but this was not the way to handle it from mine.

    Good day to everyone, +++ I could only speak one my behalf…read more +++ HIGHLY RECOMMEND +++ I WAS PANICKING, YET CALM +++ I won't mention names, so I will only mention the team. The staff working the shift on 8AM-10AM (01/06/2026) were busy take note that there may have been some appointments... but they manage to assure me that everything will be fine. I am sure it is per say on each shift. But I felt like the call to action was immediate... before I got to sign any paperwork or ask for anything (I was in the process of handing them my ID). A nurse or doctor came to help my dog he is like a son to me. The VCA @ ALAMEDA, made the process smooth. After they left to check up on him. The ladies that are at the front counter were very friendly. And my information was jotted down on the system. They have a TV so you can see what your dogs wait time is and they even have the system text you. They also prioritize dogs the number (1) is a severe case I assume the (1) would cut in line... while number (3) is less severe than number (2), hopefully the concept is understanding. And they also show you on the TV what priorities number the patient is. Anyways... getting to the point... the nurses were asking me questions while I was in the lobby.... And I gave them all the information I could give. I was really worried but I think it didn't show but I was in a state of panic, thying to find what went wrong, although I have a very organized apartment... long story short I'm speculate that my T.H.C. was the reason for this situation... I am unable to find out how he may have done it... but in the end even if it was human error... I would have to take jurassic measure (I use the cartridge so I am not sure what to say but to be careful about where things may be... because it's the little things that make it that much worse) I can say I am in some sort of recession with my person. I didn't know that I would be in a veterinary clinic today. The amount was reduced by the laddies at the front counter. A controversial act to some but that now makes me more likely to go into this location rather then a competitor, so the future profits will probably go to them rather then the XYZ companies. I know that management knows that this team rocks! I hope that this is known that perhaps this may have the best interest for all parties, because of this how this particular situation was handled by the staff. P.s. "He is much more better" Thank you I will be glad to say that this can be taken as a learning opportunity. -ANGEL

She graduated some PT training with them, gave me much anxiety when her legs would hurt her, and they were always the very best at sending her home with me happy and healthy. Sadly, the last time I brought her here, it was too late to save her. Nessie was a Bernese Mountain Dog and she had hemangiosarcoma which was undiagnosed. Her symptoms the morning of her passing was primarliy lethargy, not wanting food, and pale gums. Within moments of me realizing she wasn't doing well, I got her into the car and sped to the hospital. As we were driving her symptoms got worse and I called ahead to ask for immediate help. The team was out front when we arrived and we got her onto a gurnee. I wiped out one of her eye boogers and told her I'd be right there to take care of her. Nessie sadly didn't make it to surgery. Her heart gave out before we could help her. But I know she got the best way to leave this earth as she was barely in pain and she wouldn't have liked the cancer treatment we were planning for her. The team did a really good job helping me through the hardest thing I've ever been through. My one regret is I wish I had woken earlier that day and tried to get her help faster. But sometimes things don't go the way we want. I hope if you're in need of urgent care, you can get your pup here swiftly and allow the team to do their very best.
