    They were so kind and courteous to me and my Old girl Harley. She was in a rough way and they did all they could to help me save her or at least buy mor time. They were with me all the way . Even with her crossing over. She went peacefully and with love

    Worst experience of my life. I took my 8 yr old lab there Saturday because my regular vet Powhatan Animal Hospital couldn't see him and recommended that I take him there. He was lethargic which was just noticed that day. They took him back while I waited in the waiting room. Two hours later they call me to a room and proceeded to tell me that he had fluid around his heart, that they didn't know what could have caused it, that he would need it drained and that I should consider euthenasia. Well I was in shock and said well we don't even know what's going on with him and that I wanted to try and save him so asked them to do the "tap" to drain the fluid. Well 2 hours later after watching these wings light up in the waiting room twice for pets that had been put down and seeing two distraught families have to walk through the waiting room and go out the front door, wondering if my dog was next in line, I was pulled back into a room and told they didn't do the "tap" and that he was declining so they suggested that I take him to Partner's 24hr Vet ER and they would send them his lab, xray results. I was upset that they didn't do the tap. I really think they didn't because they were busy and were starting to turn emergencies away toward the end of the day and were getting ready to close . Within 15 minutes of me getting my dog to Partners, the vet spoke to me briefly explaining the causes and wouldn't be able to deduce any more until he examined the fluid contents then did the tap. My dog's blood pressure and heart rate immediately improved and he perked up. Unfortunately the fluid was blood and after 24hrs of trying to treat him, he wasn't improving. It was more evident that the cause was most probably hemangiosarcoma which I then learned was common in labs. The staff was great and actually seemed to care. They were so good with him. After it was evident he wasn't going to improve, I did ask that he be put down. They never pressured me to make the decision like the Animal Medical Center vet did. If you want a nightmare of an experience, take your pet to the Animal Medical Centert. You know they even bribe you to give them a 5 star rating by offering a $25 discount with your next visit. My dog suffered unnecessarily for 4 hours because they failed to emergently remove the fluid around his heart which is a procedure the vet says "we do it all the time". That place should be shut down because all they do is try to rush you into putting your pet down, making a quick buck and closing on time.

    This was the TOUGHEST of days as we had to put Bella to rest. At the start of the visit we were just bringing her in for a bladder problem, and Dr. Blake Spiers did a diagnosis and explained some common surgery she should have. He was VERY patient and empathetic. He said he wanted to do her blood work and run an ultrasound. This uncovered a tumor in her liver and a blood panel that had nothing good on it. Dr. Spiers and every nurse and every staff member made sure they cared for her AND me as the process went on. They calmly told me how the process would go and what options I had. I was given all the time I needed to be with her, and I held her in my arms as she left. Someday I will have another pup, and AMC will be my go-to for all of their care. I recommend them without reservation.

    Amazing animal hospital our sweet husky pup Panda got into something and went into anaphylactic shock. The vet doctor ran out and grabbed him as soon as we got there and stabilized him immediately. The staff was the absolute sweetest and they kept us informed through out the entire process. They will forever be our go to for vet emergencies.

    There are two operations at this one location. The regular practice Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm and Saturday 8Am- 12. The ER is open all other times to serve critical patients. I have been very impressed with the practice. Dr. Marc Nay has been my vet for 20 years and I can't say enough good things about him. He has always treated my animals with respect and has provided guidance that didn't always benefit him financially. Nine years ago my best friend was in the early stages of kidney failure and he said we can do the following things to help her, but all its going to do is buy you some time. In the end, she won't make it because she needs new kidneys and we wont be able to do that. I asked what I should do. He said with heavy eyes that animals unlike people don't have to suffer. It is your choice and I will do what you think is best. I really appreciate the honesty of this staff and the care they provide my four legged kids. My new best buddy saw the ER vet today. He is 10 and I love him to death, didn't know what was wrong he was just yelping. I thought the worst and told them that they had the full power to do whatever tests needed to figure it out. They could Have taken advantage, because I was obviously not concerned about money, but the vet took the time and was able to diagnose a slipped disc in his neck. He didn't get subjected to tons if unnecessary testing even though I had already said X-ray him, do wherever you need. I am thankful they did their job. Now about the wait.... I don't mind, because I see the critical patients come in, the ones who have been hit by cars or worse. So I'm ok with waiting because if my dog was hit by a car, I would expect someone with a stable animal be supportive. So I will wait because I believe the staff is working as hard as they can to do the right thing for the animals in their care.

    Worst emergency pet hospital. Brought my cat in because she was dehydrated. They took her vitals…read moreand said she was stable. Which was not true. After I waited 2 hours, I went to the receptionist and was told that it could be another 3 hours my cat would have to wait. And could even be longer than that. They just leave you waiting in the room. Nobody comes in while you are waiting. You just sit. Was told that we had to wait just like a hospital for humans. I have never waited in the emergency room 5 hours or longer. There weren't that many cars in the parking lot. So thoughtless and inconsiderate. After I was told that it would be 3 hours or more, I called Virginia Veterinary Center in Shortpump. They told me to come right over. As soon as I got there, they took my cat's vitals and told me they would take us back. One half hour later, they brought us back. We waited another 20 minutes for the doctor. He came in. Did an exam and 10 minutes later my cat got fluids in her for about an hour. It took 3 hours tops. I have to be honest with you. I wish I could have given a zero star to Blue pearl. There is absolutely no reason that anyone should have to wait 5 hours or more for an emergency pet hospital to be seen by the veterinarian. Unfair and scary, worrying for your pet around people who obviously don't care if you are there or not. A total waste of time.

    Well since reading the other reviews and the teams responses to the low reviews that this company…read moredeserves lol. they take zero accountability to any negative comment coming their way, sounds like they're telling f us it's our fault since they "discussed" it with us but don't realize they need to consult some things with the owner first which they don't they will take hours for a minor condition. i will never take my kitten here again after reading how many time yall put someone's pet down without consulting them about it first.

    My husband and I have taken our dogs to this vet for 15 years, but never again. Our dog began…read morehaving seizures for the first time and had 4 seizures in the evening and overnight. We called an emergency vet and they said they would need to see what was happening to properly diagnose her, so they advised waiting and taking a video if she has another episode (which is a separate issue with another facility). Rather than risk a 30 minute drive to a questionable emergency vet, we figured Swift Creek would help. We were in the parking lot waiting when they opened at 8am. My husband explained the situation, and my dog clearly had seizures (we did take a video at that point), but they told us to go to urgent care. Even when told that she was now having seizures 3-4 hours apart and waiting another 3 hours for urgent care to open would allow time for another seizure, they still said they would not see her. They have been this dog's vet for all 5 years of her life and have seen all our other dogs over the course of 15 years, yet they turned us away when our dog really needed help. Fortunately, we found another vet that was open and willing to see her. They gave her a sedative and seizure medication. They did nothing that Swift Creek didn't have the ability to do, other than show compassion. Swift Creek might be fine when your pet is well, but don't count on them to help when you really need them.

    Had both a vet appointment and boarded our dogs there…read more Let's just say this was the absolute worst experience I have had boarding my dogs. Vet appt was mediocre. Had to pay for 2 exam fees. Neither dog got an exam. They gave them there influenza shot and sent us on our way. Boarding... when we dropped off we had concerns. We asked to see the kennel where the dogs were kept and it wasn't very nice. There was active animal pee on the ground and extremely loud. None of the animals were settled. Whatsoever. The blankets they give dogs are paper thin. Thank goodness we brought our own. On the 3rd day of our dogs getting boarded we get a call that they have run out of food. How is that possible if I packed 12 bags for 5 days and they eat once a day. I packed for 1 extra day just in case. The workers never read the instructions and did whatever they wanted. They fed them twice a day and they weren't even eating. No call nothing. Until they ran out. They offered purina- which my dogs can not eat. They did go out and buy their dog food from tractor supply. But after such the manager acted as if I should be grateful for such a doing. The following morning I get another phone call. Miraculously one of my dogs has a cut under her eye and she needs emergency medical attention but no vets are in but I can pay for them to take her to an emergency vet. They tried to blame my other dog which is insulting enough. We cut our trip short and had a friend go get our dogs out of this place that day. Not only that. I drove my dogs 3 hours to the university (Virginia Tech) to have them evaluated and the one dog professional stitched up by the surgical team to also be told it was not from another dog. Do not board your dogs here.
