Vets and pet-health businesses handle what a groomer cannot. General veterinarians and animal hospitals do checkups, vaccinations, dental cleanings, spaying and neutering and sick visits; emergency and 24-hour vets treat injuries and sudden illness at night and on weekends; mobile vets come to the house; rehab centers offer physical therapy, hydrotherapy and acupuncture; and pet pharmacies fill prescriptions and sell prescription diets. Groomers often spot skin problems, ear infections, lumps or overgrown nails first and will suggest a vet visit.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is Open 24 hours. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (202) 524-9199. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, veg.com.

Washington is in District of Columbia, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Washington is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across District of Columbia's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Our cat Vinnie, who is large and brave, stopped eating for a few days. Naturally this was distressing. We took him to our normal vet but long story short, we still wound up needing to seek emergency care. VEG was amazing. No other word for it. I wish I had everyone's name but the night crew on 6 & 7 August were literally all fantastic - - categorically and universally. They did a lot of wonderful and amazing things for Vin, but most importantly, they made him better. Also, not that it matters, but they also took great care of us over our harrowing 6+ hours overnight at their clinic. Coffee, blankets, check ins, general concern. I don't know. These folks rock. As much as I would love if no one ever needed their services, inevitably some will. And in those cases, VEG is certainly the right choice.

Veg ER Georgetown is amazing! The staff is caring, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I called the facility on a Saturday evening after midnight when my 8 year old Cocker Spaniel ate an entire block of cheddar cheese with caramelized onions! I was so worried and upset and didn't know what to do. When I called the Georgetown ER the receptionist was so kind and calmed me down. He told me not to worry and he immediately got the Dr. on the phone. The Dr. listened attentively and took the time to explain the best protocol for my dog. She asked me for the name of the cheese that my dog had eaten and quickly researched the ingredients and the amount of onion content per block of cheese. Luckily, the % of onion in the cheese was not in the danger zone for poisoning a 44lb. dog. I was utterly relieved and thankful for the help of the Dr. I wish I could remember her name, but unfortunately I was so distressed I forgot to write it down. Without asking for any compensation she took the time to genuinely help me and put my mind at ease. Thank you VEG ER Georgetown you are wonderful human beings!! My dog is feeling much better and thanks you as well!!

The whole team was amazing. They saved my frenchie Lola on the spot from respiratory failure. Lola was cared with excellent skills, love and lots of care. Her nurses Alex and Clencly were by her all the steps of her life threatening episodes, saving her twice from respiratory colapse. Her amazing Dr. Lopez was great walking me through all the intense life threatening episodes and ensuring she had her meds, tests and constant care around the clock. In the middle of an awful ER day, I felt in the best hands, and truly cared by all the staff and most importantly her immediate team. Best ER in the city! 💓🐶

We brought our 6 month old kitten Pigeon in at 2am after he was experiencing some minor complications post neutering. Dr. Bryant and her whole team made our experience smooth and calmed my anxiety. Pigeon was attentively and thoroughly cared for by each Veg vet tech and appreciated the calming meds he was given to help him through a tough time. I would absolutely recommend Veg to anyone seeking an emergency vet. Thank you, Dr. Bryant! Pigeon is healing up so much better and our regular vet said he looks in great shape now:)

VEG ER Georgetown is spectacular. They provided such grace, compassion, honesty, gentleness, and support as we said goodbye to my beloved soul dog Rex after 12.7 years together since I was 24. He was 13+. They did the hard thing and told me it was time so that I wouldn’t spend thousands more dollars to try and keep him alive to no one’s benefit. Dr. Bryant and Sufiya are angels. They were so intimate, personal, warm, kind, and real. We ordered a pepperoni pizza for Rex (and the staff) and he snarfed it up along with VEG’s “charcuterie” board in his final moments. They held space for my grief and suffering. They and so much respect for me while prioritizing Rex’s needs. We just picked up a package they prepared of his fur in lovely vials, many paw and nose prints, and a card signed by a bunch of the staff. There is no good way to lose your fur baby, none at all, and they made it as not horrible as humanly possible. Thank you furrever.
