About VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. We challenged the status quo and fixed everything wrong with the ER experience. Since then we have expanded rapidly, opening hospitals nationwide that are open 24/7, 365 days a year, and we have created a better emergency experience for everyone—our VEGgies.

As an Emergency Veterinarian you will handle any emergency that comes through the door, from routine cases to complex surgeries, and treat every kind of pet, including exotics. You will lead the hospital floor, be a superhero for your customers, and grow your career in unexpected directions.
