VEG ER for PetsReviews of veg.com

Dr Blutinger and his merry staff of VEGimites were incredible to say the least. They are masters of dealing with real animal emergencies as well as guiding the humans who are emotional when bringing in their 4 legged (2 legs as well we saw birds) loved ones who are in distress. We have had many dogs and cats over the years and this was truly the most impressive set of people in an ER setting so we highly recommend VEG. In our case it was more than reasonable in cost as well. In all that time we were there (8 plus hours for a blood transfusion as they are a blood bank) saw emergencies come in and nobody waited more than 60 seconds before a doctor was in front of them and their animal was on a table. Yes it’s a different experience because you’re literally in it and you are part of the experience which is emotional even though it’s not your animal, but we came out of there in all honesty better pet parents for seeing other people going through things and how it was being handled. Imagine how rare it is for you to be able to be with your pet during this entire process vs the usual stress of being separated at other facilities. This should be the norm and was the original reason we chose VEG.

i went with my friend to take her cat who was in distress and this place was better then any animal hospital I have had to go to. I think there should be more of these places, the people that work there are not just good at their jobs but are the most caring individuals i have ever met in bad situations. Being a pet owner and being an old woman i have had to visit many animal hospitals in the past and this place not only is OPEN 24/7 but the price was so much lower then what was expected. People hospitals could learn from this place on how to treat other

Small dog needed emergency caesarian as pups too large to pass birth canal. Vet tech, unfortunately didn't catch her name, was wonderful. She kept me informed, I was able to stay with dog until she was taken into the operating room. As soon as she was awake/in cage to recover more, I was able to see and pet her. Unfortunately one pup was stillborn and other was crying as soon as they had him out. Dr Davison was great, can't thank both vet tech and veterinarian enough. Both caring for my dog. Unfortunately, had experience with two other emergency vet hospitals that didn't let me in with dog for exam. At one facility, when wife picked up pups, they were cold, hospital never warmed them after c-section and died within 24 hours. Only negative thing was cost, but that's the way it is with medical care everywhere.

VEG ER Dr Fiore is an incredible , caring , empathetic, kind, professional veterinarian. She is in a class all by herself. I only wish she did private veterinary work. Her empathy and compassion is unmatched Sydney is the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful soul that I have ever met and it was during one of the most difficult times of my life Our beautiful sweet dog Lucky had to be put to sleep and it was one of the most difficult decisions we ever had to make My fur baby was suffering He was in so much pain. He couldn’t walk. He wouldn’t eat or drink. VEG put us in a private room. They gave us all the time we needed. Sydney took care of us as if we were her own family. I requested Dr Fiore as she had helped save my dog Porsche a few weeks prior. She said it would be her honor. She examined him and explained the situation. She explained the steps before and during it. We were all crying and Dr Fiore and Sydney were so comforting to us. The experience was as good as it could be considering the situation. After it was over Sydney asked us to tell her about Lucky. She made paw prints and nose prints and again asked us if we needed more time. She was an angel. I just want everyone to know the humanity and kindness that VEG Carle Place on Glen Cove Road showed my sweet Lucky and my family. We couldn’t have found a more compassionate group of people to help us through one of our most difficult moments. Thank you Dr Fiore, Sydney and the entire staff of VEG ER Carle place. Sydney you have the most difficult job and you handle it with such humanity, kindness, and such innate caring. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are an incredible human being.

Our dog was dying. I called and they met us at the door. The staff was so kind and understanding. They gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. Angels sent from heaven.

Took my dog to VEG after being bit by a snake. Dr looks at dog and says no just sprained his paw and gave him anti inflammatory meds and me a 298$ bill. Fast forward an hour later while he is home his stomach turns blue and starts to swell. I go back to VEG and the same Dr decides to actually examine him thoroughly and says oh im sorry he did get bit by a snake. I missed it. Really you don't say. I told you this. 4,000$ later I ended up taking him to another vet because he was getting progressively worse and they are only concerned with money. As I was walking out with him they say oh you owe another 698$. They take advantage of people knowing most will do anything for there pet.

Human ER's take a long time. Often you have to wait a couple of hours to be seen. But VEG pet ER's? How long do you wait there? Apparently you have to wait 7 hours. Yep, you read that right. 7 Hours. What else can you do in 7 hours. You can fly to England and get a cup of tea thats what.

I took ownership of some ones else's 3 month old dachshund puppy due to them not being able to pay for emergency vet care I first took it to my personal vet who within 20 minutes diagnosed him with pneumonia and air trap in the abdomen and labored breathing, My vet does not have an oxygen kennel so I needed an emergency clinic and was told by some of the staff about VEG ER PETS in Rockledge so I rushed the puppy there. I took xrays and the diagnosis from my vet with me. The staff meet me at the door and seemed attentive but could not get an IV in his leg so they put it in his kneck. They asked questions about what happened but we had no answers because the owner would not give us any details. They placed him in the oxygen kennel and got his temp to 97 because he was very cold, when they came to talk to me they were very grimm about his survival, they explained several times they were trying to figure out what was causes his issues. I repeated myself several times that he has pneumonia he needs a nebulizer for breathing treatments and to decompress the air in his abdomen. that was ignored and they repeated again they were trying to find the cause. I asked again can you do breathing treatments with the nebulizer and maybe steroids to open his lungs put him on antibiotics but the response was they were looking for the cause, I again asked them to treat him for pneumonia this went on for 6 and a half hours with them doing multiple scans and checking his temp but never once treated him for pneumonia. after 6 and a half hours of doing nothing but monitoring the puppy the vet said it was pneumonia and they would start antibiotics I also wanted them to give him liquids through the IV because he was dehydrated they never did that the entire 6 and a half hours. They were all very nice women but their medical training and knowledge was the worse I had ever seen they let this 2 pound puppy gasp and struggle for air when they could have saved his life if they would had treated him instead of ignored the proper treatment any other vet would have immediately done. It is not different than treating a human even I know this much. I had to leave becuase I needed to check on my 14 year old cur dog by the time I got home less than 30 minutes the puppy died I am so upset that this place is full of uneducated staff and I took this puppy there for emergency treatment and he got none. I am so disgusted with this place and I am launching a formal complaint against them for ignoring the proper treatment and doing nothing but billing me more and more while they let this puppy suffer. I hope they can not rest at night because I cant for thinking they were vets and would properly treat this puppy. his name was Louie and he mattered!
