VEG ER for Pets

When I initially called, the receptionist got me on the phone with a doctor within seconds to ask my question. When I arrived, I was immediately brought to triage to have my dog, Roo, seen and everyone worked quickly to get things moving. There was no waiting around at all. I was there for nearly 20 hours and there was never a moment someone wasn’t asking me what I needed and there also wasn’t a moment I couldn’t be by Roo’s side. I was helped by Dr Davison & Dr Gabos, CEC Bonnie & Mikayla, Nurses Hannah and Amanda, and also emotionally (and practically) helped by tech Fred when I brought my little Roo in. Everyone was phenomenal with Roo and extremely kind to me and understanding of all of my emotions. I’d especially love to thank Hannah for her kindness and for being so gentle with Roo. She was (literally) by my side through the majority of my visit. Thank you thank you thank you!! Roo is doing great :)

I had an emergency with one of my schnauzers & I found this place in a state of panic as I just recently moved here a month ago. They took great care of my baby and did not have me wait. They were so quick and efficient!! Prices are reasonable but keep in mind it’s an ER so they are obviously a little higher but they work with you. They did not just send me home without making sure my Bella was okay I cant thank them enough. Follow up calls afterwards were made which were appreciated. Everyone was so nice! From Dr. V and Nurse Alexis to yesterday 2/16 when I went to pick up Bellas food both ladies were SO NICE! Thank You so much for taking care of my Bella. I will always recommend this place to all dog parents!

I came in with my Pomeranian. I lost my boy Odin this day but it was my decision. They gave me all my options. Ultimately, it was my decision to say goodbye to my boy. Odin was the love of my life. He changed my life forever and as a man he did more for me than I could. I’ve ever done for him. The staff here And the doctors are descended from heaven. Thank you all so much. God bless

I'm losing track of how many reviews I've left for VEG South Tampa location because unfortunately, my pup is a frequent flyer there... but I will continue to do so every time because each experience has been phenomenal from life saving care to the entire family and patient experience! Just this past weekend, one of my pups, Groot (2 year old German Shepard/Husky/Pitbull), spent a few days at VEG because he ate a sock that ended up getting stuck in his intestines requiring a very complex surgery. The operation was completed by Dr. Elizabeth Moses, who did an outstanding job in a very complex situation. Groot had surgery last year at VEG with Dr. Davison, after a squeaker got stuck in his intestines so with this being his second procedure, it added additional risks that Dr. Moses managed with incredible execution. Lexie was his nurse along side Dr. Moses for surgery, who is a friendly face from our previous experiences, with both Groot's last surgery and my other pup, Capone's dog bite incident, she went above and beyond as always to make us feel comfortable and confident we would had another successful healing journey. Both at our initial intake on Friday and when we were able to leave on Sunday, Hannah C. was Groot's nurse who was extremely patient and kind to make sure Groot and our whole family was comfortable every second she was with us. Groot can be nervous around new people, but she got on the ground and took the time to develop a trust with him and ended up getting some kisses as we were leaving which is a big deal for him. Given they wanted him to stay overnight after the surgery to monitor and make sure he was improving, they welcomed us to stay the night with him in one of their rooms, and even made up a bed so that we could sleep with him, and stay by his side, every step of the way. Overall another phenomenal experience at VEG, I will continue to bring both my dogs there in any emergency situation and highly recommend it to all others. Any medical emergency will be expensive, but this is one place where the price matches the service.

We literally or this Vet/Veg team literally knew my family and pup for less then 15 minutes and we were treated with extraordinary care and kindness. They deserve a 20 star review. Our golden retriever Lambo fell ill and wouldn’t get up after losing his strength this afternoon. My wife called right away and they immediately said come down we will meet you at your car. To say things didn’t end well as our pup was 14 years old was the toughest decision we had to make. Animals are family and they just like that. Every single interaction with their staff was caring and affectionate and compassionate to what our family was going through. Explained all options in detail and they were with us the entire way. Our good boy had a tumor that ruptured on his spleen. Slim to none chances of recovery. If only dogs could talk. They Left us alone for as long as we needed to say good bye. If your family is looking for a caring animal hospital this is a great place right off south dale mabry in Tampa Florida. Thank you for caring for our pup Lambo in our time of pain. We will greatly miss our sweet boy.
