VEG ER for Pets

VEG ER is fantastic! I can't thank them enough -- I had to take my cat in the day after I adopted him, and again two days later, which was very stressful for both me and him. Dr. Kristen Mader (and the entire team!) is wonderful, she made us feel comfortable and quickly evaluated him, and explained the potential treatment pathways and their costs so that I could make a decision. It is more expensive than a typical vet visit, but is it emergency services, and they are very good. Street parking can be a little tricky, but there is a parking garage right across from their office.

I hope you never have the need for this place, but if you do, your best friend will be in amazing hands. Unfortunately for me, my 11-1/2 year old English Mastiff has been a frequent flyer in a veterinary ER for many years. None compare to the kindness, warmth and all round knowledgeable treatment provided by the team at VEG Boston. They make her good as new, every time. She is a bit of a giant scaredy-cat, but loves Dr. Mader and allows her to poke, prod and heal what ails her every time. Fast forward to several months ago, my gentle giant Newfoundland (Otis) was in a bad way. Completely out of the norm for him. At 9 years old, I feared this was the beginning of his decline. I'm not in the immediate area to VEG Boston, but the 40-minute drive to them is worth it for my 4-legged fam

I must say that I I’m very pleased with the help I’ve gotten from this place. My dog needed urgent care because she was very old and sick. Not to mention the location was close. I was able to transport my dog here quicker. Sadly she was put down. I made peace with my decision on not watching her get put down only due to mental health reasons. Just want to say this people should not be judged for not watching their dogs be put down! I’m glad they fully understand why I didn’t want to see her be put to sleep. That’s traumatizing for me and won’t do no good for me and my mental health for maybe a week! My mental health comes first and I’ve spent the best wonderful 13 years with my dog and I’m ok with that!I just want to remember happy moments with her. I feel better that she’s at peace and no

Called in for an emergency and came in all dishevelled and worried. Dr. Auri Silverstone met me, the team took my dog's vitals, and assured me everything is fine...except for the passage of Father Time. The staff here is very patient, courteous, respectful, empathetic, and fun! I'm very glad for the team here, and have made a believer out of me. Dog tax attached.

VEG is an extraordinary resource for pet parents of every kind. My experiences there—while inherently stressful given the emergency nature of the situations—have been nothing short of exceptional. The entire team embodies efficiency, warmth, transparency, collaboration, and genuine compassion. I would take my pets to VEG for primary care if I could. During my most recent visit, my dog Murphy was in significant pain from a massive abscess on her already-injured paw. The team quickly diagnosed the issue and began treatment right away, all while safeguarding her comfort and keeping me by her side throughout the process. Every step was handled with such skill and empathy. Dr. Mader and Max (Tech) were absolutely phenomenal—so capable, kind, and communicative. Murphy is already feeling so much
