About VEG ER for Pets – Houston
VEG's Houston hospital sits at Studemont Street and the Katy Freeway, a short hop from the Heights, Rice Military and River Oaks. Like every Veterinary Emergency Group site, it is open 24 hours a day including holidays, takes no appointments, and lets you call and speak with an emergency veterinarian at any hour before deciding whether to come in. The model is different from a traditional ER. The hospital is open-plan, owners stay with their pet through examination and treatment rather than waiting in a lobby, and there is space to remain overnight if a pet is hospitalised. On-site capabilities include surgery, endoscopy, point-of-care ultrasound, x-rays and diagnostics. VEG treats dogs and cats as well as birds, reptiles and other exotics, which many ERs refer elsewhere. The medical director, Dr. Paige Kail, is a Texas A&M graduate. Parking is accessed from the Katy Freeway service road, and staff will help carry pets in on request.
