New 24/7 Emergency Vet in Fort Myers, FL Provides a Compassionate, Customer-focused Pet Emergency Care Experience
VEG ER for Pets, a global leader in emergency veterinary care dedicated to supporting people and their pets when they need it most, is proud to announce the opening of its newest hospital in Fort Myers. Located at 5010 S. Cleveland Ave., VEG ER for Pets Fort Myers will officially open on Thursday, February 5, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET. This location marks the company’s 11th hospital in Florida.
The Fort Myers hospital will provide families in the area and surrounding communities with advanced emergency veterinary services, including surgery, ultrasound, X-rays, and more, delivered by a highly trained and compassionate medical team.
“When a pet parent walks into VEG ER for Pets, they immediately feel they’ve found a place that truly prioritizes both their pet and their family,” said Dr. David Bessler, founder and CEO of VEG ER for Pets. “At our Fort Myers location, pet parents will feel an immediate sense of relief and comfort as they are welcomed with empathy, transparency, and a supportive environment designed for them and their pets.”
VEG ER for Pets has reimagined the emergency veterinary experience by removing many of the barriers that traditionally cause stress and uncertainty. When pet parents call VEG, they are connected immediately with a licensed veterinarian to address urgent medical concerns. Upon arrival, triage begins right away—before paperwork—so pets receive care as quickly as possible. Unlike traditional emergency clinics, VEG encourages pet parents to remain with their pets throughout every stage of care, including procedures, surgery, and overnight hospitalization.
The Fort Myers hospital is open 24/7, including holidays, to ensure emergency care is always available when it’s needed most. Its open-concept floor plan allows for greater transparency, freedom of movement, and ongoing involvement of a pet’s family in the treatment process.
Beyond emergency care, VEG ER for Pets is deeply committed to giving back to the communities it serves. Through its VEG Cares™ initiative, the company supports underserved pets facing critical medical needs. VEG also invests in the future of emergency veterinary medicine by providing scholarships to Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) students.
