A new location of Veterinary Emergency Group, a 24/7 pet emergency hospital with locations across the U.S., will open Dec. 12 in the Lower Heights mixed-use development at 2785 Katy Freeway, Houston.

The chain is known for allowing pet owners to stay with their pets during all phases of treatment.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 12, and the hospital will officially open at noon that day, according to a Dec. 7 announcement from hospital officials.

Across all of its locations, VEG treats over 300,000 emergencies each year, according to the release.

The new location will also collect donations through its nonprofit arm, VEG Cares, that will go toward pet guardians in need.
