🎉 Exciting news for our pet community — VEG Burlington officially opens TODAY at 12PM! 🐾
We had the chance to attend their open house Tuesday evening, and it was clear right away how passionate this team is about emergency veterinary care. We’re really excited to see another emergency option available for pets and families.
As your primary care veterinary team, one of our priorities is making sure you have somewhere trusted to turn for urgent and emergent needs after hours when we’re closed. That’s why we’re happy to share that VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) is now open in South Burlington and available 24/7 for emergency care.
💚 VEG Burlington — 225 Dorset St, Suite A, South Burlington, VT
VEG ER for Pets is open 24/7 with no appointments needed. You can call ahead to speak directly with a veterinarian before leaving home, and once you arrive, pets are seen right away with owners able to stay by their side throughout care whenever possible. Their open layout clinic allows you to remain close to your pet during treatment. They treat dogs, cats, and a wide range of exotic animals, including birds, reptiles, rabbits, sugar gliders, and more. Here is their website to learn more🌐 www.veg.com. This post will be updated once their number is released to the public upon opening!
We also want to continue sharing the other emergency hospitals we’ve long trusted and recommended, which still remain options:
