Dr. Josh evaluated him and we unfortunately were faced with the unthinkable after receiving terrible news and a grim prognosis. Dr. Josh explained everything well and with kindness, even though I know breaking news like this isn’t an easy burden to bear.

Reviews
I’ve only been to this emergency clinic and found it to be a very good experience. The receptionist, technicians and veterinarian were great. I would highly recommend them.
VECC was amazing! Our little 20 pnd doodle lost usage of his back legs. They ran tests quickly and we learned he had lyme disease. They treated him right away and then followed up with us to see how he was doing.
He is doing great and has back his ability to walk and run! The staff were kind and gentle with our dog and with us! The vet came in and spoke to us directly and was very compassionate and truly hands on. We highly recommend taking your doggy or pet to VECC.
