Veterinary Emergency Group

I would love to thank Dr. Cain and her efforts in trying to save our bunny who was in critical condition. She is very knowledgeable and showed much care. I also like to thank all the nurses who helped Oreo and kept her comfortable. Everyone was quick to assist Oreo. I would like to thank the male nurse who was monitoring her for many hours and keeping her comfortable. Unfortunately our Oreo passed away 8 hrs later. We are thankful that we were able to take her home and have more time with her before she passed. We kept her comfortable and warm. Giving her love and kisses before she passed. We deeply miss Oreo and thankful that Dr. Cain and her nurses did everything they could to save Oreos life. The staff there have a great passion in taking care of pets! Here are some photos I like to share of our bunny Oreo. She was 9 and lived a full happy life ❤️

VEG San Diego provided the best veterinary care I have ever seen! From the moment we walked in with our dog, Riley, they made us feel cared for. They put us in a private room and Dr. Kalb was in to check on us minutes later. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kalb- the best Vet I’ve ever seen. He showed us such generosity and kindness. Plus, he maintained such a steady hand for Riley’s stitches. Dr. Kalb and ALL of the veterinary nurses and assistants were incredible. They ALL cared for & comforted Riley. Not only did they care for Riley but they cared for us as well. When i was watching Riley get her stitches, one of the amazing vet nurses/assistants saw i was cold and wrapped a blanket around me. The entire time we were there, i could not believe how kind every single person truly was. Unbeatable experience! VEG San Diego will be the only emergency vet we go to from now on!

A totally different experience in veterinary care. We appreciated the quick service and the friendly staff. They helped to make a difficult experience bearable, and it was nice to be able to be with our cat throughout the whole process. CreamPuff enjoyed the private room so that he didn’t have to worry about all the dogs that were there (it was late and there was space open so it made it easier to be removed form the open room). P.S. CreamPuff apologizes for leaving so much white fur on the black chair, but it was so comfortable that he had to sit on it…

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about VEG Animal Hospital in Mission Valley. My two cats, Toast & Butter, came in with a bad reaction to an over-the-counter anti-fungal medication. The staff was friendly and took my concerns very seriously. My older cat Toast was fortunately able to be discharged much sooner than my kitten, and I was sent with clear discharge information. They also ensured that if her symptoms worsened or her health changed, that she would be seen right away. My kitten, Butter, was much more severe and needed a lot more support. He needed oxygen therapy, IV fluids and steroids. His comfort was their top priority. Their open floor plan allowed my mom, boyfriend and I to be present with Butter for much of the day. They allowed me to hold him during small medical procedures to help keep him calm; I held him during an ultrasound & whenever they needed to flush his IV. They even let me bring this favorite blanket to get through the night… I’d like to also ensure to thank Dr. Swan, nurse Erica, Dr. Smallcomb & another staff member with dark hair & pretty pink highlights (I did not catch her name) for taking such great care of Butter. I am forever thankful for the care you provided both of my cats. They were transparent with me and my family through the whole process. If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation with your pet, do not hesitate to go to VEG in Mission Valley.

I could go on and on about how fantastic the team at VEG was with my cat, Griffin. They immediately saw us, they were extremely friendly, caring, and professional. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. We saw Dr. Cain and she was so helpful with our treatment plan and helping get our cat to feeling better. As a veterinary professional it’s hard to find places that feel like they actually care about your pet and aren’t just rushing through stuff. I felt 100% confident leaving griffin in their care and will absolutely be back should we (hopefully not) have another emergency. They truly care about your pets and worked with us to make a plan that will work with our budget. Thank you so much to the veterinarians, technicians, and support staff for helping us out during this difficult time!
