Bring your checkbook. My 21 year old daughter in law took 2 puppies to the hospital. Both dogs were in bad shape and one was basically dead when she walked in the door. They took the dog back and asked my emotional daughter in law if she wanted CPR on the dog. Of course she said yes, but did not tell her it was $1000. The dog died within 5 minutes. They told her the other puppy needed surgery and it would be 12-15 thousand dollars. She left with 2 dead puppies and a $2,100 bill for an hour of nothing.

Chronological Summary of Events - Lense November 4, 2025 Lense presented to Dr. Liebman with lethargy and decreased appetite. No baseline bloodwork or diagnostic testing was performed despite systemic symptoms. Marbofloxacin (Zeniquin) 50 mg was prescribed for suspected pneumonia. November 5-6, 2025 Following administration of Zeniquin, Lense developed new symptoms not previously observed, including facial swelling and paw edema. November 6, 2025 Lense was re-evaluated. No diagnostic testing or comprehensive reassessment was performed at that time. Treatment was limited to administration of diphenhydramine. November 7, 2025 Lense's condition worsened, and he was transferred to BluePearl Hospital for e m e r g e n c y c a r e . Upon arrival at BluePearl Hospital, Lense presented with: • facial and throat swelling • suspected pancreatitis - per Blue Perl • suspected Cushing's disease • systemic inflammation - per Blue Perl We were contacted by hospital staff at approximately 5:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM and were informed that Lense was "doing good." In addition, we were verbally advised at the time of admission that Lense had a good prognosis for recovery. We were presented with a proposed treatment plan involving an anticipated two-day hospitalization with an estimated cost of approximately $10,000. When we inquired about Lense's heart condition, we were told it was "good," and when we asked about blood test results, we were also told they were "good." At the time of admission and during these communications, no medical records or diagnostic reports were provided to us. The only documentation provided at that time was the proposed treatment plan outlining the intended course of care.

I took my dog to blue Pearl yesterday because I believe that she was choking. I thought originally she may be got a hold of a baby rabbit in our fenced in yard and ate it and was choking on it. I wasn’t quite sure because I let my dogs out in my fenced in yard like most people do with dogs with a fenced in yard. They were outside for maybe 25-30 minutes. I go outside to give them some food and to see if any of them wanted to come in and then I noticed my corgi had blood coming down her mouth all on her chest down her legs as if she was in a fight. But I realized she was choking, and I couldn’t quite figure out why there was blood if she was choking. So I rushed her to blue pearl because they were the closest and my family vet had their number listed as an emergency. I take my dog there and we get there about 11 PM, they take us into a room, check her temperature and her weight and then take her in the back and make us go to the waiting room, which I thought was odd to not let you stay with your dog in a vet room like most vets usually do. But anyway, we go out to the waiting room and we wait. They keep her in the back. Up until about two in the morning. They call us back to a room and the doctor says just for bloodwork it’s automatically about 1400 which is whatever I care about my dog, but like how have you guys had her for all this time and all you did was bloodwork? So they come in to tell me that so far I have to pay this much and that it’ll be more after they do x-rays and I was like I told you guys when I came in she has something stuck in her throat and I’m just thinking to myself why wouldn’t you have already done the x-rays as it is? If this is considered an emergency, why isn’t it being treated as such?. But anyway the vet says she’s gonna go do the x-rays and be back in about an hour so an hour goes by. It was three something in the morning at this point and she comes back and basically says they can’t diagnose my dog, but believe that it was because she was choking on something, but can’t give me a definitive answer can’t diagnose my dog, but they said that they wanted to keep her overnight to evaluate her and just to keep her overnight Was pushing $5000 and there wasn’t even a diagnosis. I get emergency dog hospitals cost more because it’s an emergency, but this was excessive and to pay that much money and still not know what’s wrong with my dog felt like I was being robbed. They came in to show me the estimate and told me they could keep her overnight and I decided when they came back in the room to let them know, I will be taking her home to monitor her myself. Then they said well we have to write up a new estimate then. Then they bring in the new total which ended up being $1700. And the paperwork I got sent home with said she was undiagnosed, and that they were unsure of what was wrong with her. I felt like they were more worried about money than actually caring for the dog. I feel like they did not do everything necessary to check her. It doesn’t make sense why they had her for 3+ hours and all they did was bloodwork and to come to me to basically ask permission to do x-rays literally when I told you people from the get go that my dog Was choking and was coughing and gagging. Why wouldn’t you automatically do an x-ray from the start? It wasn’t treated as an emergency. And to try and charge me all that money and not be able to diagnose my dog is insane. If you weren’t able to help me, you should’ve simply have stated that you can’t diagnose her cause you don’t know what the problem is and I could’ve took her somewhere else you wasted my time and $2000 for a dog that is still sick. The only thing they did tell me was that they could see a little object in her intestines, but it seems to be moving on its own. So clearly it’s not for sure that it will but I wasn’t given any answers other than that. I’m just very displeased with the care that my dog received when it comes to not knowing what’s wrong with her and charging the amount that you charge. Literally nothing was done. All I got was sent him with gabapentin and an undiagnosed dog and $1700 later. If all you were gonna do was keep her overnight to keep her on oxygen and to monitor her how did that reach 5000 and how would that have got you a diagnosis? It just seems to me like they are about money and only money. This is the first time in my whole 31 years of life where I’ve ever taken a dog to a vet and spent a lot of money to be told, she’s undiagnosed. I can’t believe it. Horrible experience. The only thing positive I could say is the staff seem nice but I guess whenever they’re racking up your bill and charging you as much as they are id be nice too.

Both vet and technician lied to me several times that they completed a FULL examination of my 15 year old dog and examination was negative. When I got home my dog was in severe pain due to ear infection. Vet states that no examination was done of the ears. THIS IS THE WORST EMERGENCY VET FACILITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. I will be contacting State of Florida regulatory board as this vet should be reprimanded. He is a liar.

we brought our cat into Blue Pearl emergency vets in des moines iowa at 8PM. 4 hours later their vet brought us into a room to "get us up to speed" and talked about the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS her care would cost. I laughed in her face as she spewed 'its all about a buck' WE BROUGHT MY CAT IN CAUSE SHE WAS DYING!, and blue pearl was all about a buck.

This is a case where 1 star is generous. We nearly lost our puppy due to misdiagnosis and poor recommendations: Our 11-week-old puppy started vomiting Monday morning, and I suspected a blockage. We brought him to Blue Pearl Skokie Monday afternoon after he couldn’t keep anything down. Despite my concerns about a blockage, they tested for parvo and told me he was positive - this was surprising given we are experienced dog owners, understand the risks for puppies, and have not left our house with him; as well, he had received his first vaccine round, and showed no parvo symptoms (everyone commented on how he was not presenting as a puppy with parvo). Skokie said their Northfield location had a cutting edge treatment for parvo, so we were transferred to Blue Pearl Northfield. As I continued insisting on the blockage possibility, Northfield did an ultrasound and confirmed it Tuesday morning (Skokie apparently doesn’t have ultrasound capabilities). Here’s where it gets truly concerning: The Northfield vet suggested we consider euthanizing our 11-week-old puppy due to treatment costs and a “poor/guarded prognosis.” They also informed me that they could not treat him as they do not have the facilities to do surgery on an animal with an infectious disease — so the assurance I had received on Monday — that Blue Pearl could care for him and had the same capabilities as Veterinary Specialty Center was a lie. I refused to consider euthanasia and immediately took him to Veterinary Specialty Center. VSC performed surgery Tuesday night, removed the blockage successfully, and he was doing so well they sent him home Wednesday afternoon. The puppy Blue Pearl recommended euthanizing is now back to his crazy, happy puppy self. Bottom line: A puppy that was allegedly a euthanasia candidate made a full recovery within 24 hours at a different facility. Trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. The lesson we learned is that Blue Pearl prioritizes profits over care. Had they done the right thing, they would have told me that the best place for him was Veterinary Specialty Center, which would have saved us and our puppy time, pain, stress, and money.
