In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!

At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open‑concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer‑focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.

This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies, to a culture rooted in mentorship and continuous learning, and to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible. VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.
