I got the call from Dr. Pittman and they were both professional and apologetic for the delay. I did receive the notes as requested and results we were waiting on. I brought my dog in since our regular vet was closed on weekends. It cost $250 to explore the wound. Once Dr. Pittman "explored" the wound and remove out two small "masses" she didn't know what it was or wasn't confident about next steps. We came back 3 days later for wound check and we noticed my dog had something similar on another paw and she removed that as well but this time sent it for testing. Also my pet insurance has requested visit notes and records to process my claim and I have even tried calling to have them send the notes needed and they still have not sent anything. When I called the receptionist states she has submitted the request and once notes are ready they will send it. Why does visit notes take over a week to do and send? Overall, I think this place makes it very inconvenient for owners as they are not responsive with requests.

When my dog experienced what appeared to be a seizure and briefly stopped breathing on June 7, I…read morerushed him to MissionVet. From the moment we arrived, the staff acted quickly and immediately took him to the back while helping me complete the necessary paperwork. I was extremely distraught, and I truly appreciated how one of the staff members took the time to sit with me and help calm me down. Everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring during such a scary situation. Our visit did take several hours since they wanted to monitor him closely throughout the day, but I appreciated that the team checked in with me about every hour to provide updates on how he was doing. Those updates meant a lot and helped ease my anxiety. Dr. Gonzalez was knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to explain everything. Thankfully, they didn't find anything concerning during his evaluation and recommended that we follow up with our regular veterinarian for continued care. I hope I never have another emergency, but I'm incredibly grateful to the entire team for treating my dog with such excellent care and for showing me so much kindness during one of the most stressful days I've experienced as a pet owner. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby.

I had to bring my dog on Memorial Day weekend after I noticed that he was lethargic, had nausea,…read moreand was refusing for which was very out of character. We rushed over on a Saturday and I truly appreciate how quickly the tech's triaged him and did not dismiss his case even though he was presenting normal except for a fever and abdominal pain. I was worried that he was going to be dismissed since it had only been a few hours since he started to act strange but I know my dog so well and I know something was very wrong. The doctor let me know that they suspected pancreatitis but there was no ultrasonographer to confirm until Tuesday. He was started on meds to control pain, nausea, and try to get an appetite but he kept getting worse and they decided to have him stay overnight. Sunday they called that they were going to start on NG tube, antibiotics since he had fluid in his abdomen, and continue to monitor. They still said they needed the ultrasound for pancreatitis and I asked why not the blood test but they said they needed ultrasound which I still don't understand why it couldn't be the blood work. Monday they called and let me know he was in sepsis and the fluid had bacteria and he needed surgery but because of the holiday there was no surgeon available and I needed to transfer to blue pearl since they had someone on call. I rushed over and took him over there and I was so grateful that they had me switch because the care we received at blue pearl was phenomenal compared to here. I appreciate that the doctor started him on antibiotics early and was treating him the same way a confirmed case of pancreatitis would be treated because I feel that helped save his life. My main frustration is that they had no doctors in to help him because of the holiday from Saturday all the way to Tuesday. It was very frustrating to take a dog for emergency care to an emergency hospital and pay a ton of money to not have the doctors he needs available especially when quick care can make the difference of him living or not. I will be taking all my pets to blue pearl instead of here because of how amazing they were and that they had staff that could provide timely care.

She was admitted to their critical care service under the care of Dr. Strey. Unfortunately she made a terminal diagnosis with no treatment options so we made the painful decision to have her euthanized.

We were completely blindsided by the diagnosis; the staff's ability to communicate with us professionally and compassionately was greatly appreciated.

Everyone at blue pearl was beyond amazing. My dog, Kobe was transferred from another animal…read morehospital on Memorial Day (5/25) for an emergency surgery because of a severe pancreatitis case. Dr. Hancock was the first veterinarian that did Kobe's intake and let us know his plan for surgery. She was phenomenal, he had a suspected pancreatitis case and his abdomen had sepsis as well and she had such empathy and was the first time that I felt like I could breath and I just felt peace that my dog was going to be in good hands. He was then operated on by an on call doctor that was called in for his surgery. Dr. Trainor did his surgery and updated us that all went well. Kobe had a crash overnight and was not responsive and was transferred into the Critical care team that morning. Dr. Strey was his doctor in his time at critical care and she was phenomenal as well. She and her tech team truly saved Kobe's life. On Tuesday when he was in critical care he had one tech, Miguel, that was taking care of only him and making sure his vitals were all okay. You can truly tell that Miguel (and all the techs) that cared for Kobe were amazing and really loved on all the pets in the back. They were super available and I was able to come in, visit, call, and got many updates while he was in the hospital which I truly appreciated. Today I went back for Kobe's 1 week follow up/2 week surgery stitches removal and they were so happy to see him doing so good. I will always make the drive out here if I need emergency pet care. I truly appreciate them for saving Kobe. Ps, get pet insurance before you think you need it. the costs were super high but for the work and the attention they did I was glad I was able to come here

She explained everything in a way that I could understand, and she allowed me to pick and choose what I wanted them to do for Smokey from the treatment plan. Dr Taylor was very gentle with Smokey dog, and also very helpful in explaining everything for me. They gave Smokey an injection of anti nausea medicine, and he's already feeling so much better! He hadn't played with his treasured toys in days, but immediately after having his breakfast of chicken and rice he ran to get his toys from his kennel and began to play with them! I'm very grateful for Nayeli and Dr Taylor. Five stars. Oh! They have a military discount!

The staff was very helpful and kind to start with but by the end of the day their patience was worn down. This place is definitely a fast paced working environment and their clinic needs help with organization and their day to day practice. To start with they schedule everyones surgery at 8:30 AM. When I arrived it was 8:15 and there was already a line out the door with about 45 people ahead of me. By the time I got to registration it was 11:45 AM and my patience was wearing thin. But the receptionist was very attentive and apologetic. She was able to get me checked in quickly and they took my pet back. Pick up was much of the same story and I can tell the staff was over worked, over the entire day and ready to go home. They called me about 3:45PM to let me know my pet was ready for pick up. Upon arrival you have to wait in yet another line and they come out and get your pets name. Once your pets name has been called they go in and look for paperwork and place it in racks for check out. This was a disaster people were miss placing paperwork and meds. There was no organization, there was no flow. People with questions made it difficult for the staff to check out easily. They constantly had to go back and asked the Vet questions. Outside customers fed up with the wait were arguing and yelling with the "office manager". I

I had a first time appointment this morning for an express groom, and handed my dog off to the groomer. Minutes after he took my pup and closed the door, I could hear my dog screaming in pain - two shrieks. I know the difference between anxious barking/whining and cries when a dog is hurt. My dog cried in pain. He is an anxious dog with separation anxiety, yes, but the only time I've heard him make the noise he did was when another dog bit him and when a neighbor accidentally stepped on his foot. I've also fostered hundreds of dogs, so can tell the difference. My gut/instincts told me to just cancel on the spot and take my dog home, so I told the front desk to charge me whatever is needed and we go without the groom. My dog is 3 years old and has been groomed every 3 months for his entire life. Grooming is not new for him, plus I gave him trazodone 1.5 hours prior. I wish I could've liked this place because it's so close to home but it's not worth it when the groomer is inexperienced and abusing the dogs. I spent less than 20 minutes there but my gut instinct told me that this is not a safe or experienced place to hand off your dogs. Do NOT go here

It seemed like there was always another test, treatment, or add-on being pushed, even for routine appointments. I understand recommendations are part of veterinary care, but the constant pressure made the experience uncomfortable and expensive. Overall, I wouldn't personally recommend Buttercup Veterinary Hospital based on my experience. We've raised German Shepherds for years, so we're very familiar with the breed and common skin and allergy issues. My son's GSD is currently visiting, and I stopped by Buttercup Veterinary Hospital simply trying to purchase more of the medicated shampoo they had previously recommended for itchy skin. I was denied because my own GSD, who was a patient there and was ultimately put down at their clinic, had passed away, so I was told I was no longer considered a current patient. Losing my dog was heartbreaking, and the interaction felt cold and unnecessarily transactional. Unfortunately, that experience reinforced my overall feeling that this clinic focuses more on upselling appointments and services. Find a vet who doesn't shut people out when their pet passes away.
