Attention, Jacksonville pet lovers! There’s exciting news coming your way that will have tails wagging and whiskers twitching. On January 30, 2025, the city is set to welcome its very own Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) facility. Located at 4507 Town Center Parkway in the bustling St. John’s Town Center North, this brand-new hospital is here to serve your furry friends at any hour, day or night!
A Fresh Start in a New Location
For those curious about the building’s history, it previously served as a location for both Applebee’s and a 145°F Seafood Boil. But now, the spotlight is on VEG as they transform the space into a state-of-the-art emergency veterinary care facility. This new addition marks the eighth VEG location in the Sunshine State, following existing hospitals in Tampa, Miami, Boynton Beach, Clearwater, Fort Lauderdale, and Winter Park. That’s quite a family of facilities ready to keep our pets happy and healthy!
24/7 Care for Your Furry Family Members
The best part? VEG in Jacksonville will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays! This means you never have to worry about finding help for your pet, even in the wee hours of the morning or on a festive occasion. No more waiting until the morning to see a vet—just walk into VEG, and your pet will be seen right away!
What Services Will Be Available?
VEG Jacksonville isn’t just about being open all the time; it’s about delivering top-notch emergency care. Whether your pet needs surgery, ultrasounds, or x-rays, VEG will have all the necessary tools on hand to handle any situation. Plus, as soon as you arrive or even call in, your pet will receive immediate attention, with triage starting the moment you step through the door—no waiting around to fill out paperwork!
Stay with Your Pet Every Step of the Way
One of the most comforting aspects of VEG’s approach is their commitment to keeping pet owners close. You won’t have to leave your beloved furry companion behind, as pet owners are allowed to stay with their pets during treatment, including during surgery and overnight stays. This level of care will surely put both you and your pet at ease when facing an emergency situation.
A Community-Centric Focus
VEG isn’t just focused on emergency care; they also prioritize giving back to the community through their VEG Cares initiative. This program supports underserved pets and provides scholarships to aspiring veterinarians, ensuring a bright future for veterinary care. It’s heartwarming to see a business that not only helps pets but also uplifts the community as a whole.
Join the Celebration!
Mark your calendars for the grand opening on January 30! A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11:30 a.m., and it promises to be a fantastic event. As Jacksonville embarks on this new chapter in emergency pet care, it’s a chance for pet owners to learn more about the services that will be offered and the compassionate care their pets will receive.
