About Us
At Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), our mission is to provide exceptional emergency veterinary care to pets and their families when they need it most. Founded by Dr. David Bessler, a dedicated veterinarian with a passion for improving the ER experience, VEG was created to address the gaps in traditional emergency veterinary care. Our co-founder, David Glattstein, brought a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a focus on customer and staff satisfaction, ensuring that every interaction with VEG is transparent, compassionate, and supportive.
Our commitment to innovation and customer-centric care is evident in our open floor plan hospitals, where pet parents can stay with their pets throughout treatment. This unique approach not only reduces stress but also fosters an open conversation about diagnosis, treatment options, and costs. Our team is trained to handle emergencies ranging from vomiting to complex surgeries, ensuring that every pet receives high-quality critical care.
VEG offers a wide range of services designed to meet the urgent needs of pets. These include:
- Emergency Care: High-quality critical care for unexpected situations.
- Point-of-Care Ultrasound: Non-invasive, soft-tissue imaging with same-day results.
- Urgent Care: Immediate attention for injuries or illnesses that cannot wait.
- X-rays: On-site imaging to diagnose fractures, stones, foreign ingestions, and more.
- Diagnostics & Testing: Quick and efficient testing done right in our hospital.
- End-of-Life Care: Comfortable and compassionate care during difficult times.
- Surgery: High-quality veterinarians on site for emergency operations.
- Treatment & Hospitalization: Immediate care that can include overnight stays for pets.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our services. We believe in fostering a positive company culture that supports our staff and encourages long-term career growth. We offer generous compensation, leadership training, unlimited continuing education, flexible work schedules, equity ownership, and loan repayment programs to ensure that our team members are invested in our mission.
