I came here last night with my very senior dog Sasha, because she'd been having persistent GI…read moreissues that were pretty severe for her. I called ahead of time to check on pricing for the exam, etc., and one of the Vets answered and was so kind and patient while I explained what was going on. She reassured me they would walk me through a treatment plan we could handle after I brought her in. When I got there, I was met with the warmest, kind, helpful energy from every single person who worked there. From the person who did our intake, to the techs who did her initial vitals and administered her IV later on, (and cleaned up her mess on the way out - TY) to the Vet herself, I felt more than comfortable that they had my girls best interest in mind but were also realistic with what I could spend and how far we wanted to go with her care considering that she's 15.5 years old. After the vet examined her, I was sent a quote via email I could approve via my phone, and while I paid cash, they have an instant link you can pay for your services via credit card through email as well, which I found amazingly efficient and made what I was spending and what was included crystal clear so there was no anxiety about hidden costs. (I also found this place to be INCREDIBLY reasonable in their pricing compared to the other Vets I've gone to in the city). Special shoutout to the tech with the amazing mustache and the woman who administered her IV.... He was down on the floor, with my pup's head in his lap, petting her and saying the sweetest, most reassuring things while the other tech also just gave her such praise that we got some little exhausted tail wags out of her during what couldn't have been a comfortable process. It was just what we both needed in that moment, so thank you both so, so much. I was calm but pretty emotional, and I just felt safe coming here and would 100% come here again if needed, and recommend that anyone facing something like this with their fur baby come here too. The entire experience was quick, efficient, and again.... the kindness and genuine love they showed my baby was all I needed to know to feel comforted during a stressful moment. Happy to report the treatment she received has dramatically improved her condition in just a day, so overall it was a 10/10 experience.

Similar to our previous experience we were greeted the moment we walked in and the vet techs and nurse were so calm and empathetic. They not only treated our little cockapoo with compassion, but as too! They explained everything to us throughout the process. There are not words to describe the level of service they provide, it is amazing during difficult situatuons. Thank you VEG!

We've been here in the past and the experience was pleasant before so it is disappointing that…read moreafter this latest appointment that has changed. We had the difficult decision of putting our dog down and while that was handled professionally, I think the aftermath is what made it worse. We received a sympathy card with our dog misgendered despite him having been there before prior to his euthanasia for other visits. When we were asked to pick up his ashes, my guess is that they didn't have it set aside because we also didn't receive the blanket that we brought him in, despite their text saying everything including the blanket would be ready for pick up. Only to get a text a few days later saying they found the blanket. As we're not nearby, it is quite a drive. We're still dealing with the grief so just the inconvenience and lack of attention to details just added onto the loss.

BluePearl is specialized in orthopedic surgery, so we wanted to make sure we had the best doctors working on our pup with the highest chance of success. Dr Wilson did our initial consultation and he was very polite, thorough, and had a great bedside manner while breaking down medical terminology that I was able to to comprehend. He was able to get our girl in within the week to complete a TPLO surgical procedure on her knee; the procedure was a success and the staff was very helpful by keeping her comfy during her stay and giving detailed instructions for discharge. It has been a week since the procedure and she's already able to put weight on her leg; the swelling is gone, no leakages, bruising is now minimal, and you can tell that she's very excited to get moving again. We have a long way to go for recovery, but I already know that the procedure will allow her to be as active as she used to be. Thank you Dr Wilson for taking good care of her, highly recommended for dogs in need of orthopedic procedures. Best, Charlie

Very helpful on the first phone call, technician was compassionate and put me through to the an Dr on staff and we discussed options.

Options were provided at every step with no judgment or pressure. The room we were provided was serene and peaceful.

No one wants to ever think of this process for their family member but this staff and facility were incredible during our loss. Highly recommend if you have the unfortunate situation as well.
