Description

VEG ER for Pets, the world's veterinary emergency company that helps people and their pets when they need it most, is excited to announce the opening of VEG ER for Pets in Des Moines at 6840 EP True Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA 50266 on Thursday, April 30 with a ribbon cutting at 11:30 a.m./CT. The hospital is located on the corner of EP True Pkwy and 68th St and approx. a half a mile south of Wild Rose Park and north of Jordan Creek Town Center. VEG ER for Pets will provide families in Des Moines and neighboring areas including West Des Moines, Clive, Urbandale, Waukee, Valley Junction and Norwalk with highly skilled emergency veterinary care including surgeries, ultrasounds, x-rays and more. This is the first VEG ER for Pets hospital in Iowa. "Our mission has always been to help people and their pets when they need it most," said Dr. David Bessler, Founder and CEO of VEG ER for Pets. "Opening in Des Moines allows us to do exactly that, by providing 24/7 emergency care that treats the whole family with compassion and transparency." VEG ER for Pets has built community trust in veterinary emergency medicine by completely reworking the experience so it's improved for people and their pets. When a pet parent calls VEG ER for Pets, they speak immediately with a licensed veterinarian to get their medical questions answered. At VEG ER for Pets, families no longer need to wait and worry in a lobby. Instead, triage begins as soon as they walk in the door, even before filling out paperwork. Pet parents are allowed to stay with their pet through all stages of treatment, including surgery and overnight hospitalization. VEG ER for Pets in Des Moines is open for pet emergencies 24/7, even on holidays. The hospital has an open floor plan that allows pet parents the freedom of movement and for veterinarians and staff to include a pet's family every step of the way. VEG ER for Pets not only accommodates customer needs; the company gives back to the pet-loving community through VEG Cares(™M), an initiative benefiting underserved pets in crisis. VEG also supports future emergency veterinarians by granting scholarships to DVM students. To learn more about VEG ER for Pets, visit veg.com or (@veg on Instagram.
