Your pet needs the best care—fast. And you need to be confident they are in the right hands. VSGA co-founder Tom Walker, DVM, DACVECC, leads our emergency services. Board-certified in emergency and critical care, Dr. Walker has been treating animals in crisis for over 20 years. The U.S. military trusts him to care for its heroic working dogs. In fact, Dr. Walker spent most of 2022 deployed in the Middle East.

We understand how overwhelming and frightening it can be when your pet is hurt or sick. With our team’s unmatched expertise and compassion, you can trust your pet is receiving the highest level of emergency care at all times.
