Overview

24 Hour Emergency Vet Hospital and Urgent Pet Care in Omaha, Nebraska

As a veterinarian, Dr. David Bessler knew something was wrong with the ER experience. A major piece was missing: the customer's feelings. They were left out in a lobby, kept in the dark about treatment options, and then hit with surprise fees. Enter VEG. Along with VEG co-founder David Glattstein and a dedicated team, Dr. Bessler created the VEG experience, which puts people and their pets first. Customers are met at the door and that door is open 24/7, even on holidays. And our staff is trained to treat any emergency from vomiting to surgery. In 2014, armed with a vision and a dedicated team of like-minded people—the first VEGgies!—he purchased his first VEG hospital. They worked to reinvent the emergency experience
