Veterinary Emergency Group

Todo mi agradecimiento para los doctores y su personal por la atención que brindaron en todo momento a mi pequeño Peanut.

I cannot recommend VEG enough. They truly saved my cat’s life. I brought Moochi in not realizing he was experiencing a urinary blockage, something I later learned could have been fatal. From the moment we arrived, the entire VEG team was compassionate, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything clearly while also understanding how terrified I was. Hannah, the vet nurse, in particular made me feel so deeply comforted during one of the scariest moments of my life. Her kindness, patience, and reassurance meant more to me than I can put into words. That said, every single person we interacted with was amazing. My cat is a "spicy," boy, and they treated him with so much respect and care. What meant the most to me was that they allowed me to be there while he was being treated. Being able to stay with him during that process gave me an incredible sense of peace and trust, something that is truly priceless in an emergency situation. He even had his own separate area during recovery, which helped immensely with his stress. He has now been diagnosed with FLUTD, meaning lifelong management, and the team made sure I felt informed, supported, and never alone in navigating what comes next. I am beyond grateful to VEG and their entire team. I will never forget this experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am so grateful for the emergency pet clinic in Encinitas. I brought my cat in after he started throwing up repeatedly, and I was extremely worried. From the moment we arrived, the staff was compassionate, calm, and reassuring. They treated my cat with such care and took the time to explain everything clearly, which helped ease my anxiety during a very stressful situation. The veterinarian (Dr Campbell) & vet techs were thorough, kind, and never made me feel rushed. You can truly tell they care about both pets and their owners. I’m incredibly thankful for the quick attention and professionalism we received. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs emergency care for their pet—you’ll be in excellent hands. The team did blood work, X-rays, ultrasound , fluid, etc. They were so efficient and thorough I included a photo of my kitty before going to the clinic (looking lethargic next to water bowl) and him immediately when we got home (so relieved).

This was my first time coming to VEG. I was surprised to see the open area and how all of the people were working to help the pets and owners. I was blown away at how I was whisked into the treatment area right away and made comfortable, both my pet and myself. My Tibetan Terrier, Dottie, ended up having to stay for 2 1/2 days. She was very sick and would not have made it through the night had I not brought her in to the ER. My family came to visit a few times and were encouraged to ask questions about the treatment and her progress. The VEG team could not have made this experience any better under the circumstances. Praise all around!

Nothing but the most wonderful things to say to the incredible nurses and doctors that attended to our little bunny, Thor. He came in with GI Stasis and was not expected to make it. They saved his life twice, once via CPR and another in the middle of the night when they thought he might be giving up. They gave us the necessary time and ability to transfer him to the best exotic animal specialist in San Diego (Dr Cecil in Mira Mesa). And now after 5 days in the hospital, he is home in our arms. It’s the greatest gift I could have ever wished for and honestly a Christmas miracle. Thank you again to all the amazing people at VEG for your love, kindness, and compassion. ****NOTES to bunny owners: if GI Stasis happens to your bun, highly recommend going straight to Dr Cecil in Mira Mesa. He is the best exotic animal doctor, hands down.

I have been so impressed with every aspect of care from VEG. I have had to take my dog Beau in almost daily for wound management and all the nurses, vets and other staff have been beyond competent and very caring during an incredibly stressful time. They also have communicated seamlessly with my regular vet and surgery center to make sure everyone involved in Beau’s care is informed. I am very grateful to everyone at VEG!

I am very happy I took my little girl here to get help. Dr. Kim and her team took great care of my dog. This place had an ambiance to it like a well oiled machine. I'm just very happy that my dog was provided with such a high level of care. Thank you VEG!!
