the wonderful team at VESH did an incredible job during my cat’s recent visit. even though my cat is awful, they did a beautiful job managing her. they were incredibly responsive and informative and clearly explained all of our options, the pros/cons of each one, and gave a recommendation when requested. they answered all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand. i wholeheartedly trust and appreciate every staff member there and i’m grateful to have a fantastic team of experts nearby.

Our beloved puppy Cinnamon, our best friend and family member of 14 years went peacefully into puppy heaven. He will never be forgotten, so many great memories. Due to his age his health had been declining over the past year. He was having a long seizure so we brought him here. The vet Krishna was very professional while still being sympathetic to our situation and thoroughly explained all of our options to do what was best for Cinnamon . Staff member Lilly was also very caring and sweet with our precious Cinnamon. Thank you so much for making a difficult time as peaceful as possible

I am absolutely ecstatic with the care my girl, Lou Lou, received. She was hospitalized for two nights with pneumonia, and throughout the entire experience the staff was incredibly kind, compassionate, and attentive. I received regular text updates and was always able to call and check on her, which gave me so much peace of mind during a very stressful time. They even bought her a little sweater to keep her warm, which meant more to me than I can put into words. It was clear that she was genuinely cared for, not just treated. I’m deeply grateful to the entire team for the excellent care and communication they provided.

The staff at VESH saved my cat’s life this past week. Lawrence, my 10-year old cat was making some vocalizations at the litter box and appeared to be straining to urinate. I brought him in one week ago today. He was rushed in the moment I brought him through the door and diagnosed with a partial bladder obstruction. He had surgery that night which saved his life. He stayed in hospital for three days. I was allowed to visit him and was so thankful for that! We returned once more after I brought him home to make sure his bladder didn’t re-block (it didn’t) and received some heavier pain meds which have made all the difference in his recovery. He is now playing for short periods, climbing his cat trees, looking out the windows and returning to his happy cat self. I really cannot thank all of staff at VESH enough for all of the care he received. Special thanks to Dr. Eileen T. for her excellent diagnostic and surgical abilities. Also, the front desk staff was excellent through it all.

Our white lab Nilla needed cruciate ligament surgery and Dr Benson and his staff were absolutely fantastic. Nilla has made a full recovery and the staff was very friendly and very thorough with every visit. The facility is very nice and modern. Thank you once again Dr Benson and all the staff at VESH.
