How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VEG ER for Pets
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

As soon as I walked in the doors with my kitty, we were welcomed & immediately tended too. The entire team was efficient & made me feel so comfortable the entire time, from start to finish. I was terrified, but the staff made me feel calm & like I was in the best hands. They told me I was always welcome to be present when they were working with him/doing tests. They offered me water/tea/snacks & a place to sleep (since he was staying overnight). I won’t go anywhere else next time I need emergency care for my kitty! Highly recommend this place. Special shoutout to the amazing staff that took care of my baby! Doctors: Dr. McReynold’s, Dr. Pollihan, Dr. Manning, Dr. Riddick; Nurses: Rachel, Sami, Elexis, Amy T, Katelyn; Customer Service: Candice, Kevin

We took our dog Wyatt into VEG ER for Pets a few Saturday nights ago as he had a seizure. They immediately took care of him and we were able to stay at his side as they worked with him. They were very friendly, caring and honest about his care. We are very happy he is doing well and will trust their care. Thank you to Mikayla, Jasmine, and Dr. Pollihan!

First time visiting this ER and was very impressed! Quick responses from the entire team. Dr. Pollihan was super nice and caring. Nurse Sierra was also great! Luckily my visit was a quick and easy fix. Private room but able to look out into the lobby was nice! Thank you!

I brought both my new rescue babies into VEG after they got into the trash and ate moldy food. We were immediately greeted with warm, friendly faces and given a room and a game plan. Both Birch and Freckles seemed at ease, even being in a vet's office. I didn't feel pressured to run unnecessary tests or spend money I don't have; just straightforward care to figure out what's going on. Turns out only one dog did the eating and the team gave it their absolute best efforts to try and induce vomiting. This girl is stubborn as heck and wouldn't do it. Rather than needing to pay to stay overnight, the team explained what to look for and let us go home to rest on our own. What could have been an emotionally (and financially!) devastating night ended with two wagging tails. Thank you so much for the whole team (wish I'd gotten their names but was so focused on my baby's care). Hope I don't need to go back, but good to know this open exists whenever we need it. 💙🐾

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Staff was quick to check us in and made my pup feel so loved and comfortable. Loved the open floor concept where you can be with your animal the entire time with the doctor explaining what they will be doing, why, and giving you various options for the care. And they followed up a day later to see how my boy was doing. Thank you for the care and making my pup feel so loved!
