This emergency veterinary center is remarkable. In the middle of the night last week my kitty cat, Nacho, went into cardiac arrest at home. He showed no signs of illness leading up to this moment and I found my way to this clinic for emergency treatment at 4am. The check in person could not have been kinder or calmer. Dr. Josh immediately diagnosed Nacho after testing and explained everything in kind and understandable terms. Nacho had unexpectedly reached the end of his life and this clinic did all the right things to move him through the process. This experience was calm, caring and dignified. Thank you Dr. Josh.

Dr. Chambers and team were absolutely incredible! We came in with our highly Reactive dog (very difficult patient) after a porcupine incident and they triaged and treated her with amazing care while working/communicating with us. Highly Recommend

I have used the VECC for a long time and I have always been very happy with how they have cared for my animals. Not only the care, but also the fact that they listen to you and respond to help the current situation. I was referred to a different specialist and chose VECC with Dr Lister instead and I’m so happy I did. She explained everything to me and answered all my questions.
