We recently had to bring our dog to the ER for a serious gastrointestinal illness and it was one of the most stressful experiences as pet owners. The entire staff was kind, compassionate, and professional from start to finish. A special thank you to Dr. Kagan and Jaime, who both stood out for their communication, reassurance, and genuine care during a very difficult time. I know I'm forgetting other names because everyone we encountered was wonderful, but those two made a lasting impression. Emergency veterinary care is never inexpensive but we felt the team was transparent, thorough, and truly invested in helping our dog. The communication throughout the process helped us understand what was happening and what to expect. Our dog is now doing much better. We are incredibly grateful for the care and support we received. Thank you to the entire team for helping us through such a scary situation. read more

I honestly don't have enough words to thank Dr. Kagan, Dr Marti and the incredible team- Mitch, Kat, Jamie and everyone else at VEG for saving my 13-year-old dog, Jack. If you are in an emergency, this is the only place in the area I would ever trust. Before we came to VEG, we sat at another ER for 2.5 hours only to be told Jack wasn't 'critical enough' to be a priority and we had to continue to wait. I knew in my gut something was wrong, so we left and rushed straight to VEG. The second we walked into VEG, they saw him immediately, and I truly believe the attentive staff is the reason he's still here today. Jack is a senior with a Grade 5 heart murmur and Addison's Disease, and it turned out what he was experiencing was a life-threatening Addisonian crisis. His care is a delicate balancing act, but for 48 hours, the team was so meticulous, managing his IV fluids with total precision to save his kidneys without hurting his heart. Throughout it all, they treated Jack with so much love and attention; he was as cared for as if he were their own. Seeing my little man walk out of there with high energy and his appetite back feels like a miracle. They didn't just stop at the emergency, either; they even reached out to Jack's internist to make sure she understood exactly what took place so we can have a solid long-term plan for his medications. Mitch, Kat, Jamie and the rest of the nurses were so incredibly kind, and Dr. Kagan's expertise was the only thing that gave me peace of mind during the scariest 48 hours. The VEG team leads with both science and a massive amount of heart. We are so grateful! read more

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Alexis Marti & Dr. Omar, and the entire Emergency team who helped save Murphy's life. When I brought Murphy in, I knew something was terribly wrong, but I had no idea how serious the situation was. Within minutes of examining. Dr. Marti diagnosed GDV as a life-threatening twisted stomach and told me that if we didn't proceed with surgery immediately, Murphy was going to die. If I had waited an hour, it would have been game over. Murphy was in surgery with a leading team for 4 hours. I spent the next 40 hours at the hospital with Murphy, and during that time, I witnessed firsthand what this team does every day. I saw families saying goodbye to beloved pets. I saw tears, fear, heartbreak, and uncertainty. I watched the veterinarians, technicians, and staff comfort grieving owners while simultaneously caring for animals in critical condition. What struck me most was the professionalism, compassion, and dedication of every person I encountered. This is emergency medicine at the highest level, where split decisions can mean the difference between life and death. Dr. Marti represents everything you would hope for in an emergency vet. Today, Murphy is home recovering, and I know in my heart that Dr. Marti and the entire Emergency team were 100% responsible for saving his life. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart, & I would tell everyone if you need emergency help, go to VEG With Love and Gratitude Evie & Murphy read more

completely irresponsible and unprofessional conduct and treatment/non treatment for my dog. A week ago, I took my dog in after he hurt himself when he jumped out of my parked car onto the parking lot. He could not bear weight on his right hind leg without yelping loudly. A week later, he still cannot bear weight on his right hind leg. He has been hopping around a little bit but always on three legs for a week now. I got ready to file a insurance claim with my pet company and could not find a diagnosis even after x-rays were done and they didn't find a break so they said that they could not provide a diagnosis. $1,244.74 down the tube. A clearly injured dog that these people could not diagnose as having any ailment. My devices stay away. read more

I have always had fantastic service at each VEG I've used. My dog had a foreign body obstruction and her needs were beyond what her general vet was able to provide. I went to one emergency hospital for overnight hospitalization and was very unimpressed by what I experienced. I then went to VEG Ft Lauderdale and was warmly greeted by the staff. Dr. Casali took detailed note of the timeline and treatments my dog had received so far. He was able to communicate his expected treatment plan, at what point that treatment plan could change (depending on response to each step of treatment), and then performed the foreign body surgery. My dog spent 33 hours at VEG, and each nurse that tended to my dog was fantastic and caring. Nahyr, Brit, and Hannah took fantastic care of not only my dog, but of me as I did not leave my dog's side. My dog is a fearful dog, and all of the staff took care to respect her needs. By the end of our time at VEG, my dog was able to be hand-fed by Nahyr and even took a liking to her. In addition to the nurses, the front desk staff were also caring and attentive. As every pet parent hopes to never experience an emergency with their pet, I take comfort in knowing the staff at VEG are ready to take on the challenges this field brings. As someone who has been in the animal welfare field for 19 years, I can safely say Dr. Casali and the whole team at VEG are the example to follow. read more

100% recommend this er vet. Dr Marti saved my dog Huey's life, and gave me great resources to continue his care. Unfortunately, he had a terminal cancer. And when it was time to put him down, I went back to VEG because I knew I could trust them. Another veterinarian (I forget his name because I was a bit traumatized), was so honest and helped my dog peacefully go over the rainbow bridge. In contrast to other places, VEG will allow you to stay beside your pet 100% of the time. The nurses and doctors really care. I hope no one NEEDS to go to this place, but if you do I feel there's no better ER. Also, the prices seemed fair for an emergency clinic. read more

Veterinary Emergency Group - Huey (Rip) - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Highly recommend this ER group. So prepped and designed for this. Professional and dedicated staff. Not a minute lost. We went to VEG at Ft. Lauderdale, 3 different times (things happen on the weekends, you know). We dealt with Drs. Marti & Dr. Casoli. They had my trust within a minute!. Nurses & staff as well. Within 24hrs my Sparky was stable and is back to his usual (prima-donna) self. Minus ONE STAR for 2 reasons: #1: Their 'discharge protocol' is not user-friendly, lots of pages with info repeated, details in some, not on another. Its good for them, but you must DECIPHER it. Don't send emails, be ready to CALL & take notes. #2: their goal is to stabilize your baby asap, and they accomplished, with heavy medications. Get your VET INVOLVED asap! or the bill will absolutely break you! read more

All the staff were warm and welcoming. My little 8 pound Biewer terrier was very comfortable and not afraid of anyone because they were so nice. I really like the open air feel rather than getting put into a room for treatment ! read more

I am a licensed wildlife rehabber in the Tampa Bay Area. I specialize in Raccoons and utilize both Tampa VEG locations. They are wonderful. They see wildlife at no charge to the rehabber. When a girl down in Fort Lauderdale reached out to me about a raccoon she saw get hit by a car, I had her rush it to this VEG location. I sent my license over to them and they agreed to care for the raccoon and do X-rays to check for injuries. They told me they would have to charge, but it would be discounted. I agreed to pay the bill because what other choice did I have? And I also understand that they don't have the same program that the VEG locations here have. No big deal. I paid the $825. X-rays came back with no injury. While still searching for a rehabber local to the lady that has her, she kept her in her garage. At 2:30am (on 2/26), she found blood in the cage. With no visible external bleeding, and being unable to get ahold of me for advice, she did what anyone else would do and rushed her back to this VEG location. She was shocked to find that where they were kind and empathetic before, the team she was met with was cold, uncaring, and seemingly unwilling to help her. She frantically tried getting ahold of me, unsuccessfully. She was willing to pay the bill, she just wanted this raccoon to get the care in desperately needed and deserved. While there, they witnessed it defecate blood. Common sense would lead most people to think maybe there is an internal injury. What would be done for a dog or cat? That was not done here. When they asked her what she wanted them to do, she said "in a perfect world, a veterinarian would be here and the rescue would be answering" and they said "yeah, that's in a perfect world." Indicating there was no vet there. Now they are claiming there WAS a vet there by the name of Dr. Prito (not sure of spelling). They told her to bring the raccoon to Wildlife Center of Florida and leave it in the carrier for them to find in the morning. If you go to their website, they CLEARLY state not to do this. They want you to keep the animal in a safe space until the morning when they open. Fortunately, the lady that brought her in knew that wasn't the right thing to do and said no. At this point the young man (Anthony) who was "helping" her told her to surrender the raccoon over to VEG and he PROMISED her he would bring it to Wildlife Center of Florida. He promised to text her updates and never did. At this point I knew it wasn't good, but was still hopeful. I managed to get ahold of the Medical Director at this VEG to get to the bottom of things. He immediately laughed at me and told me "yeah, it was euthanized. We sent the head off for testing." Shocked, I asked him WHY? He said "it tried to bite a member of my staff and we have to test it for rabies." TRIED. She did NOT bite them. Like any scared animal, she lashed out. How could you euthanize an innocent animal for that? Because it's a raccoon? I'm appalled and will be filing a report with the state as this is unethical behavior from veterinary professionals. read more

I have had to come to VEG numerous times. I have 5 pets and 2 that are frequent fliers. I do not have the words to express how much this place means to me. I have had animals throughout my whole life and have seen it all in animal hospitals or so I thought. VEG is compassionate, professional and crystal clear in their care and pricing. I had to visit again recently because a dog attacked me and my Beau. My dog needed stitches and had eye lacs. They handled him perfectly and even cared to assist me as I refused to go to the hospital until my puppy was cared for. Dr Coleman and Peggy were stars! They went above and beyond even when I had concerns about my puppies seizures. They did extra steps to keep me at ease, they heard what I was scared of and made sure to attend to that fear and explained what they would do before service to my puppy to make sure in any situation they were prepared. I trust VEG with my life and my animals. I am so happy that they are here in the community. Thank you for everything you do! read more

Veterinary Emergency Group - Beau after his care. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

I came here for a chamber of commerce meeting. Got a tour of the whole facility which is very large around 6,000 square feet. Everything is out in the open so you can see what's going on if your pet needs surgery Etc. One thing I really liked about this place is that they told me that when you bring your pet in you never wait more than a few minutes, there's always enough doctors on staff to make sure your animal is not in critical condition. They also have rooms with pull-out couches so you can sleep overnight if your animal needs to stay there. They only treat emergencies no preventative care. The doctors and staff seem very nice. read more

This is my go-to place! I have an almost 4 year old Doberman that has been through all sorts of ups and downs with health - from countless GI bugs to the most recent bronchopneumonia after a beach day! We were in and out in about 2 hours total including a triage/physical, medications, blood work and chest X-rays, plus the final plan! The service that Dr.Prieto and Kevin provided for us and our dobie boy was nothing short of stellar! We are so grateful for their care and couldn't have trusted our fur son with better folks! Thank you all for everything you do for our fur babies, it means the world! read more

My 11-year-old pup Bella she is a pitbull mix with mastiff and hound started losing weight from 58 to 50 lbs in estimated five days. I went to my normal vet which is wonderful Stevens animal Hospital ( Patient for 10 years ) we saw Dr Lucy , Where they did every test possible, including bloodwork, Addison's testing, cancer, testing, x-rays, and ultrasounds,. Only thing found was low red blood cells. Otherwise she's A wonderful and healthy dog. The best anybody could ask for. They put her On antibiotics and steroids and recommended a blood transfusion. I did my due diligence and called around. All I can get You have to come in and pay for an evaluation. No one would confirm they had the blood, which was unsettling to me. Not to even say arrange or confirm blood is available. Then I called VEG - Veterinary emergency group in Fort Lauderdale. I spoke to a really nice woman on the phone and then transferred me directly to a doctor. Doctor said we do have blood And we can do a transfusion if needed an estimated cost would be around $2000 to $2500 it can be More if she needs medicines. That was very assuring to me. I called Stevens animal Hospital later that day and spoke to my vet veterinarian again to ensure it was the right hospital and they said absolutely you can go through the whole procedure with them bed side start to finish. It's a great place. That night about 8:30 PM we brought her in. They had her tested. Had the blood transferred and started the transfusion around 12 PM. Midnight Anthony was one of her Vet tech technicians. He was wonderful couldn't ask for a more compassionate educational person to go through an emergency like this by 6 PM. She was done and discharged. It hasn't even been two days and she's already gained 2 pounds and she's becoming normal again. The diagnostics was $1100 and the transfusion was $2100 She's only 11 And relatively healthy. $3200 is the least I can do for her. She's the light of everybody's life when you meet her. Tomorrow Tuesday, her Addison's and additional bloodwork come back to see if there is a diagnosis. Fingers crossed. Dr. Stevens animal Hospital and veterinary emergency group. Are wonderful and caring. Dr. Lucy or the staff calls every few days with information if they have it on the testing. Update 12-6-25 Bella saw Dr. Lucy again at Stevens animal Hospital, where they did bloodwork on Tuesday and Friday. We are waiting to talk to a internist specialist to see if we can add additional medications as needed She is stable, but definitely has non-regenerative anemia We are still in a wait to see pattern as the medicines do their job She is stable now, but may need another transfusion which we will definitely go back to VEG if needed We are all praying for Bella. There's still a good chance. She'll start making her red blood cells again. 12-9-25 hello is still stable 10 days after the blood transfusion. She's doing better than everyone expected but not out of the woods yet. Added one more medication and will take good day by day . May have to go for one more blood transfusion Well definitely go back to veterinary emergency group. read more

I took my fur baby here and was throughly impressed! I'm a nurse and my sister is a vet and owns her own practice in another state. This clinic is clean and all the staff are so amazing. we were triaged immediately and saw a vet within a few minutes. My dog has severe separation anxiety and being able to be by his side the entire time made this such a better experience. The Dr we saw was through and so good with my shy shelter rescue. They dispensed meds to us from there and we were back home in a few hours. I will definitely recommend!!! read more

Im sure I could have waited to bring my pet in to our regular vet, but like so many of us it kills me to see our fur babies in pain. Upon walking into the clinic my experience was nothing less than exceptional! They immediately got me and my cat into a private room and began to figure out the best plan of action. I have a semi feral outdoor cat that I adopted so it wasn't exactly a walk in the park bringing this guy in....! But everyone there was very accommodating and it turned out way better than I expected. They made sure my Tiger kitty was comfortable at all times throughout the treatment and all the meds/aftercare were explained very well. I would highly recommend this emergency vet to anyone looking for immediate treatment for their fur babies! read more

Highly recommend Veterinary Emergency Group hospital! My cat's paw swelled to more than double its normal size after leg surgery and bandaging. Of course it was a Saturday when her paw swelled (see blue bandage pic) and my usual vet hospital was closed. I took a chance and went to VEG after a Yelp search and calling for advice. I am so glad I did! The entire team- Dr. Bartolic, Nurse Michael, & Nurse Nick- were amazing with me and my poor cat, Lilo. They addressed all concerns and answered all my questions. The fee was very reasonable & much less than I was expecting for an emergency vet hospital. This morning, Lilo is hobbling around, using the litter box and eating for the first time in 4 days! She is so much more comfortable with her new bandaging. I am very grateful for the care we received. Thank you VEG Team!! read more

My intention was to see my vet in the morning to euthanize him however his condition deteriorated and he was unable to catch his breath and really suffering.

I can't recommend VEG enough- they were so great with my sick pup, they explained everything to me in great detail and treated my pup like he was their own.

I can't say enough about the kindness, the gentleness, the patience, and the understanding the ladies at the clinic showed me and my little boy.

They let me cry and process my sadness and treated my baby with so much love and respect . In this day it is rare to feel like you're not just being processed at some of these facilities.

What a Godsend this place is! They saved our 3 year old American Bully, Kiki. I honestly do no think she would have survived anywhere else. S he had just been spayed at a different animal hospital, something went terribly wrong and her internal stitches somehow unraveled. She was basically bleeding out and we ran into VEG begging them to save her and they did. Immediately they went to work and TWO doctors and plenty of staff began working on her. They are truly earth angels and we are so blessed to have them so close by. I would give them 100000 stars if I could. read more

Kudos to everyone at Blue Pearl Animal Hospital. Nea talked me through traffic and to their front door where she met me and helped with the carrier. We were greeted by Murray who acclimated us to the hospital and took Marvy to Dr Jennifer. He detailed the plan of action and we discussed the possible fees. I was given the opportunity to ok or eliminate line items and awhile later Dr Jennifer spoke with me about possible issues involved. I was very pleased with being in the loop during the entire diagnostic process; and once Marvy was released to go home (3 hours after we arrived) Chris handled final medications and brought the carrier to my car. A surprisingly pleasant experience after a fearful day with a sick pet. And their coffee area was a welcome and much needed respite. read more

I recommend for your animal emergencies! It's expensive of course, but they understand and are willing to work with you! Shoutout to Dr. Colman! He was primarily the doctor I saw for my dog's case. I trust him completely. He showed that he cared, he took the time to answer any questions I had, and also explained everything very clearly. It's an open floorplan which I think is actually really beneficial. They're open 24/7. If your animal is hospitalized, you can stay with them the entire time! I got put in a little private room with a small couch bed so I could stay with my dog the entire night he was getting treated. read more

Do not take your pet to the Fort Lauderdale location. They did a C-Section on our dog. Within the same day they said come get her she is ready to come home "on the same day"! We brought our dog and her two puppies home. That night our female puppy passed. The next morning the mother was not looking so good. We rushed her back to VEG. They gave her some antibiotics and morphine. 30 minutes later the mother passed away. They just looked at us and said well maybe it was a blood clot. These people have no empathy whatsoever. read more

My sweet little Bailey is 14 years old and has a history of pancreatitis. She had a bad flare up and saw our primary vet a week ago. They gave her meds and sent us on our way. The symptoms started up again (of course during the weekend.. when the vet is closed) so I took her to VEG. They couldn't have been more wonderful, kind, empathetic, gentle and caring. They treated my girl as if she were their own dog and I was honestly surprised at how fair their prices are. My baby is already feeling better and I'm so relieved. Highly recommend! read more

Cannot speak highly enough about the night shift staff here. I unfortunately had to make two visits here but I feel so fortunate to have found this place and to be cared by such an amazing staff.

Jackie and Nick helped us as well and were so sweet and helpful. Christian helped us through the night and was so caring and gentle. Dr. Colman talked me through everything and took him time with us.

First off I want to state that the night staff at this facility are amazing! We are visiting from out of state and our puppy Jackson got stung by a bee at NIGHT on the sidewalk. He yelped and I checked and saw nothing, I assumed he got bit by an ant. We kept walking, but when we got back to the house he kept chewing his foot. Then suddenly his face started swelling (within seconds)! We administered Benadryl and looked online for the nearest emergency vet, which happened to be VEG. We called and they told us to bring him in. We rushed him over and they were able to see him immediately. The staff were so attentive and Jackson absolutely loved the attention! They managed to find the super tiny stinger in his paw and gave him steroids to reduce the swelling. We stayed at the clinic afterward to make sure he was all good. He woke up this morning and he's back to his normal goofy non swollen self. Huge shout out to the amazing staff at VEG and we really appreciate all the attention you gave Jax. Also the prices were very reasonable for an emergency vet. Would rate 10 stars if we could! read more

so be prepared to spend much more money than you need to or intended to at this place that's what it's all about there. My friend brought my dog in for an emergency with an eye disorder while I was out of the country unfortunately, I wasn't there. he did tell them that we have limited funds and to really limit the testing necessary. it ended up being around $2000 and we got some but then to make it worse they added on this complete and utter nonsense. Stem cell made from the blood of the dog probably. Sleazy doctors have been doing this for years now it's unscientific there's no true benefit, but they use it to charge cash for extra treatment in the office like when you get it in your knee and now are these @@@@& are doing it for dogs as well. sure I understand you can't charge as much for dogs as for humans and open 24 hours and they can charge a premium but don't do nonsense. Rip off medicine on people have some dignity. Sure don't really make as much as other but that's no reason to add on a fee. Most pet owners are not wealthy and of course when you it's the best thing for their dog. They're not gonna say no. I mean if you're and it's an emergency I guess go see them but just be careful for all the add-ons and do to get more money. For real they go to these conferences and learn how to do other things in the office just so they can charge more money and this is one of the things they buy a little center and they can do it if they're even putting anything in it at all how can they wake up every day and do something so useless and look in faces you're a professional you went to a school and got certified get rid of excellent doctors that's what it's all about charge fair price and you'll be OK but I'll never go there again unless there's absolutely nowhere else open go Google the stem cell stuff shirt it'll say it works, but those are the people selling it. There's no real scientific basis and it really has nothing to do with things like stem cells used for leukemia completely different. just call it stem cells because they can find a few of them in your blood read more

We had an emergency today. Our 14 year old pup that has an eyelid tumor running around the house bumped into the couch and the tumor popped out hanging now outside the eyelid. She was bleeding and uncomfortable. Our eye specialist Animal Eye Doctor in Fort Lauderdale were closed with no on call. She was there the day before and they had no sense of urgency to let us know this was something that had to be addressed immediately. They actually gave us the run around to get several other tests before they would remove the tumor. We took her straight to VEG as no other Emergency Veterinarian Hospital in Fort Lauderdale or Pompano would even see her. These guys are so amazing. Everyone from the nurses to the doctor. Dr. Casali and nurse Anthony were kind, understanding and very good with her. They got her stabilized and let us know she is perfectly stable until we can see the specialist Monday.
