Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG ER)

View

VEG ER provides after-hours emergency veterinary care, operating during nights, weekends, and holidays when ordinary animal hospitals are closed. It serves as an extension of primary veterinary practices, collaborating with regular veterinarians to ensure continuous, urgent care for pets. Pet owners access immediate emergency consultations, treatments, and procedures, with VEG ER handling high‑stress cases when regular clinics are unavailable. The service model centers on rapid response and close partnership with referring vets rather than standing alone, and revenue comes from fees for emergency consultations and procedures. The team is led by Dr. David Bessler, who aims to transform emergency veterinary medicine through a holistic and openly collaborative approach. The goal is to fill the after-hours care gap by providing reliable, high-quality emergency services that integrate with primary care providers.
