Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), the world’s veterinary emergency company that helps people and their pets when they need it most, is excited to announce the opening of its newest hospital at 5485 W 20th Ave Edgewater, CO 80214 on March 7 at 6:00 pm. This will be VEG’s 29th location nationwide and the second VEG in the Denver area.
“Emergency is our middle name – it’s all we do, so we do it best. VEG is the only veterinary company that focuses solely on pet emergencies,” said Dr. David Bessler, founder of VEG. “When an emergency happens, VEG puts the pet first and allows the pet parents to be an integral part of their beloved pet’s care and recovery.”
VEG has revolutionized veterinary emergency medicine by taking customer service, for the pet and pet parent, to the next level and having a laser sharp focus on “emergency care.” At VEG, when a pet parent calls, they will speak directly with a licensed veterinarian. Unlike other hospitals during an emergency, pet parents won’t wait in the lobby or fill out paperwork first – instead they will see a doctor right away.
VEG Edgewater is open 24/7 to help pet parents with emergencies when their family veterinarian is closed. The hospital has an open floor plan that allows pet parents to have freedom of movement from exam room to treatment floor, and they can stay with their pet during all phases of treatment, including surgery and overnight hospitalization.
VEG gives back to the pet-loving community through VEG Cares, an initiative benefiting underserved pets that need it most, and by supporting future emergency veterinarians by granting scholarships to D.V.M. students.

The Providence Tavern at 5280 W.25th suffered a water main break and flood, and forced to close for 9 days without income for employees or the business. It was hard on them and the 100 yr old historic bldg. they are now up and running. Please feel free to support them enjoying their food, libations and vintage atmosphere.
