Central Bark had openings sooner than others (got us in within a week), but their prices were the highest. We took our doodle here three times. In general, the staff seem friendly, lobby is clean, and scheduling appointments is relatively easy. However, on the third time, her tail was shaved for the first so many inches. My husband didn't notice since she was hyper at pick up and they didn't say anything to him at check-out. When I inquired later they informed us her tail was matted and that they meant to mention it in the notes. I don't really know what happened, but I would have appreciated them communicating rather than changing her hairstyle on us. We decided to go back to our previous groomer... in the end, our return to the other vet is $40 difference.

That positive outweighed the negative of them going through vets every year or two, and the fact they are more expensive than comparable Clinics. I just learned they lost another vet six months ago. I had called the office twice in the last 6 months for services and they did not tell me. The third time I called them, they called me by my name (because they know who I am), but then proceeded to tell me that they are "not accepting new clients". I informed the person I am not a new client. I have been a client with you for years. She claimed that she has not heard from me in a year which is not true. I asked her when exactly were they planning on telling me including the last two times I called them in the last couple of months. She did not have a response. The most problematic thing of this situation is they are not telling clients that they are dropping them, and one of these days, somebody is going to have an emergency and they will refuse to see them. When I pointed this out to her, she blamed it on the vet quitting. As far as I'm concerned, professionalism and communication, is a function of the office and management. It is no wonder why they keep losing vets. And it leads me to belive they're going to stop doing equine altogether due to their revolving door.

DO NOT SEE DR BYL! First went in July of 2025 because our…read moredog was showing signs of liver storage disease. They could get us in the soonest to see a specialist, which was Dr. Byl. After meeting with Dr. Byl, he recommended having a biopsy done which we did. The biopsy confirmed the liver storage disease and he put our dog on a medication that would help detox his liver and had us change his food. We came back in two months to have his liver enzymes checked again, and they had gone down a little bit. We then came back two months later to have them checked, and they were elevated again and two months later, we came back and they were even more elevated. During each of these visits, I asked Dr. Byl if there was something else we could be doing to help with supporting his liver and he told me no there wasn't. The last time we visited in February the only thing he suggested was having another biopsy done, which is extremely expensive. Each time we visited with Dr. Byl, he was very cold did not seem to really care about our dog as an individual just talked matter of fact about things and seemed to want to hurry us out of the office. I decided to try somewhere closer to home with a new specialist because we were driving an hour and a half to get to Port Washington so we tried WVRC in Waukesha. I cannot tell you what a difference it made with seeing this vet compared to Dr. Byl. She was warm compassionate seemed to genuinely care about Angus's health and getting him better. She said she felt like he had inflammation that was keeping his levels up and put him on a new medication. It has now been a month since he went to WVRC and his liver enzyme levels are down considerably. After spending $8550 at Blue pearl, Angus was not getting any better. I must say that the staff at Blue pearl the receptionist, techs and the surgeon were all wonderful to work with, but Dr. Byl fell short helping our dog and wasted 8 months of trying to stop further damage to Angus' liver, a lot of our time and money. I would not recommend him as a specialist to anyone.

Instead, I was sold on expensive lab work which in fact could've been avoided if they simply checked his body like they said they did to find the massive tick on his neck that gave him a tick born disease. Unfortunately, it was my own Cedar Grove Vet clinic that found the tick the following morning when my lil guy was on death's door and I needed him to be seen ASAP. It took them all of 5 seconds to properly determine what was taking place, remove the tick, provide long lasting antibiotics and give him fluid for the dehydration. The cost at my clinic for all this? $130. Shame on this Blue Pearl clinic for robbing me and not taking the time to do an exam which I was charged for. I did speak to someone on the phone regarding my dissatisfaction and she really had no interest in hearing from me. No resolution, no partial refund for the exam, no apology...nothing but silence. Now I am here on Yelp trying to get my own resolution to my dissatisfaction by letting others know to be careful and to proceed with caution. I will avoid this hospital in the future and travel a bit farther to the hospital in Grafton if my pet needs to be seen outside of normal business hours.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I need to share what happened to my cat because I'm…read morehonestly heartbroken and upset. A few days before our appointment, I noticed an irritated bump on the back of my cat's paw, just below one of her toe beans. By Saturday, it had started bleeding, so we took pictures and made sure to get her into the vet as soon as possible because we were worried something was wrong. When we arrived for our appointment on June 22nd, I expected my cat to be treated with care and compassion. Instead, I left feeling sick to my stomach. During the appointment, I watched as the veterinarian used forceps on the bump and ripped it from my cat's paw. My cat was clearly uncomfortable and in pain, and there was no pain medication or numbing used beforehand. Watching her go through that was heartbreaking. The veterinarian left briefly and later told us it was just a cold sore. We were given an ointment and sent on our way. What really upset me was that my cat was still bleeding when we left. No bandage was applied, no wrap was provided, and no protection was put over the wound. We had to scramble to find supplies ourselves to stop the bleeding and keep her from licking or further injuring her paw. After we got home, my mother called the clinic because she was concerned about what had happened. During that conversation, she was told that the bump had simply fallen off on its own. This was especially upsetting because it did not match what my sister and I personally witnessed during the appointment. That inconsistency left us feeling confused, frustrated, and unable to trust the care or communication we received. My cat is a member of my family. Seeing her come home bleeding, uncomfortable, and in pain broke my heart. I trusted this clinic to help her, and instead I left feeling like her pain was dismissed and her wellbeing was not taken seriously. Because of this experience, we will not be returning. I recommend to not take your pets here if you value them.

This place was a big disappointment. My poor dog had terminal oral cancer and the elderly female…read morevet (can't remember her name, nor do I want to) did not prescribe him pain meds. She instead prescribed a cocktail of 3 separate random meds I was supposed to crush and somehow give to a dog with a tumor in his mouth. It would've been much easier to give him a liquid med, but no, that wouldn't work for her, even though my dog was clearly in need. I have a background in medicine so I know what is what and what works or what should be prescribed. Humans aren't that different from animals. That was not the only problem. Our dog was being treated at CGV & I was reassured time and time again that as long as he was still eating, drinking, doing business outside, etc.. that he was ok. Well we decided on our own that after 6 months, it was time to let him cross the rainbow bridge. I had a date set for 3 days later for this to happen & we hired an in home euthanasia veterinarian & when I called CGV to get him pain relief for those 3 days, CGV offered 1, yes 1 dose of liquid pain medication. One dose for 3 days?! And then she actually had the nerve to offer to put him to sleep that day! After we're being told for months that he was doing fine if he was eating drinking etc... normally. I would never let that woman touch another animal of mine. Zero compassion and she made other rude & insensitive comments to boot. Then, a few months later our cat was dying and having seizures in the car in the parking lot of CGV. I waited 10min in the lobby for the receptionist to come back and tell me no one could help us because they were eating lunch. Had to take him 20 min away, to WVRC and he was put to sleep. I never would've even taken our kitty there but he was literally dying and it was close to home. Thanks cedar grove vet for traumatizing us even more than we already were from the loss of our dog 5 months previous. I'm still dealing with guilt over not taking my pets elsewhere, since they clearly didn't deserve the lack of compassion they received at the hands of a bitter elderly woman. I have found an amazing caring vet clinic that actually does things the right way. I will never recommend CGV & I make sure I tell anyone who listens that they don't practice the way a caring vet clinic should. I mean who turns away a dying cat who was a patient for 15 years? And 3 other animals in the same household were also their patients. We gave this poor excuse for a vet clinic, thousands of dollars, just to be treated like poor relations. Just because I'm from the city, and you don't know me, from this tiny speck on the map, doesn't mean my pets should be treated differently than everyone else's. That is exactly what this feels like
