Directions
Veterinary Emergency & Referral Group is open 24/7 to accept emergency and critical patients. The primary veterinarian is requested to alert VERG that an emergency case is being sent to our hospital from their office if possible. Should your hospital or clinic be closed during certain hours or on certain holidays, VERG will accept your patients when you are unavailable. Patients referred for emergency treatment or care will be referred back to their primary veterinarian for continued care, upon the completion of treatment at VERG.
