VEG ER for Pets

I want to thank the team at VEG Alexandria for the care they gave my cat, LadyBug, during a stressful late-night emergency visit. A special thank you to Josh (the vet tech who helped us). He was incredibly kind, calm, and patient while handling LadyBug and explaining what was happening. When your pet is sick, it’s frightening, and his reassurance and professionalism made a huge difference. Josh treated LadyBug gently and made sure she was comfortable while we waited for the veterinarian and treatment plan. It’s clear he truly cares about the animals he works with. I’m very grateful for the compassion and professionalism we experienced at VEG Alexandria. Thank you for taking such good care of my little girl.

I have a senior cat who is medically complex and manages several chronic conditions, which has unfortunately meant multiple visits to VEG ER on Duke in Alexandria. Each time, I’ve been incredibly impressed by the professionalism, compassion, and quality of care provided by the entire team. I’d especially like to recognize Dr. Hilson, who has cared for my cat on several occasions, including during a three-day hospitalization. Dr. Hilson is exceptionally thorough, calm, and compassionate—qualities that matter immensely during such emotional and stressful situations. I truly trust that my cat is receiving the best possible care under his guidance. I’ve also had consistently wonderful interactions with the veterinary technicians and assistants. They are kind, attentive, and go out of their w

My husband and I brought our bully in this morning because he’d been super sick. We ended up having to put him down. Everybody was ridiculously sweet, and so caring. The doctor that took care of our baby went above and beyond for us. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We’ve been to many vets and this one by far was the most genuine. Thank you guys.

The foundation of this emergency vet is built on compassion. It is so hard to find that type of care for animals. But I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of care for their babies. They went above and beyond to ensure my cat was comfortable after having a bad reaction to his vaccines.

I came here on Friday night as my dog had a laceration on her paw that was in bad shape despite ER visits at other hospitals days prior. I was overwhelmed by how well this place is run—the layout of the hospital is unlike anything I’ve seen before…everything is visible to everyone. Dr. Beckford was fantastic—really appreciate her thorough diagnosis of my pup. Morgan and the other vet tech whose name I unfortunately forget were also wonderful and treated my pup like their own. During my time here there were three serious emergencies that rushed in and all the less serious cases were dropped and all hands were on deck for the actively dying patients—It was sad, but awesome to see the prioritization of the animals who were in 10x worse condition than my pup was. They also have free snacks,
