ST. LOUIS — Pet emergencies shouldn’t be put on hold. From accident wounds to sickness to even complex surgeries, pets and their pet parents need access to 24/7 care.
Thankfully, there is a new emergency room now open and ready to care for your furry friends.
Welcome to The Veterinary Emergency Group in Brentwood! Also known as VEG.
"The community just has a huge need for for more emergency veterinarians to be able to see see pets when they need us," says Dr. Jeni Nezerka, the medical director at VEG Brentwood.
Nezerka explains that the new hospital is designed with pet parents in mind. It's an open concept, keeping pets and their parents together through treatments.
"Maybe your dog is really sick and even needs to stay the night with us. Like needs some fluids, needs some medications. You can actually be there with your dog, while it's getting his treatments and be there for all of the decisions," Nezerka says.
While they see mostly dogs and cats this passionate staff is prepared to help all pets when they need it the most. Nezerka says that whether you have a rabbit, a ferret, a hamster or any pet that needs care, "absolutely call. Talk with one of our doctors. We'd be happy to help answer your medical questions, just like we would for cat and dog owners, and then really help those owners as well when they need it."
Above all, it's about a staff that cares, and treats your pets like their own.
The Veterinary Emergency Group is located at 2101 S Brentwood Blvd. They are open for 24/7 care. For further information, give them a call at (314) 970-2545 or visit veterinaryemergencygroup.com.
