Blue Pear Veterinarian Emergency Hospital in downtown Seattle. On December 25, 2023 my pet cat Amber was taken ill unexpectedly. This was at 4pm and I immediately called a taxi and had him drive me right over to the Blue Pear Hospital Seattle There a young man with blue eyes met me at the door and took my pet Amber into the back area of the hospital. I say a young man technician be cause he was waring a mask and I could not see his whole face. A minute later he came right back and met me in one of the little side rooms where pet owners wait while technicians and vets work on their pets. However, this is not what happened, when this technician brought back Amber she was still unconscious and needed to be put on life support. As she was alive and had a pulse. This technician said the following, "What we do in cases like this is put the pet on life monitoring and keep the pet here for two or three days. And its too late to bring her anywhere else, and its EXTREMLY EXPENSIVE. Just like that EXTREMLY EXPENSIVE. "Assuming I could not afford it, which was absolutely not true, I had in my pocket book no less than $3000 plus her Pet Life Insurance number, there was no reason to talk about money. He should have taken her right away for care and he did not. He proceeded to sell me a CREMATION ERN FOR $500. Which I paid in cash. I was heart broken and could not believe he was just going to let Amber die and not even try to help her. This man and Blue Pear Seattle should be shut down for their crimes again pet and pet owners.

My brother's small dog had developed a sore on her neck and she wasn't doing well. She's over 15 years old, so she's quite frail. He was trying to get her evaluated and treated and went to Blue Pearl vet on Sonterra in San Antonio. They immediately separated him from his pet, and proceeded to let him sit for over 3 hours without any details. They then tried to charge him over $1500 to "clean" a wound They never determined the cause of, while ignoring his wishes. This place appears to have a national agenda of high pressure sales leveraging on people's love for their pets. This is absolutely horrible to experience. After reading these reviews, this is not a coincidence. It is a methodology being used to bilk people of money at the expense of their pets. Stay away from this place. There should be a class-action suit brought against this franchise.

We had a dog in labor and she had a little difficulty. We called our regular vet and was told they didn’t have a surgeon available if surgery was needed, and they recommended going to Blue Pearl. We arrived at the facility at 8:15. There were no other patients. They took our dog for examination and bloodwork. The vet came in after 15 minutes and said the remaining puppy had a low heart rate. We were told a C section was the best option and they could spay her at the same time. We told them no C section and give her a shot to induce labor. After 3 hours, they hooked her up to a sucrose IV and gave her a shot of calcium. She gave birth to a stillborn puppy. If this would have been done when we outlined our wishes, there was a 50 percent chance of the puppy being born alive. Like I said, it took them three hours and there were no other patients. I will never go to a Blue Pearl clinic

If these people could have been given negative stars, they earned it. There is nothing worse than having your beloved pet injured traumatically. You are in a panic to try and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. I went to Blue Pearl's facility in Golden Valley Minnesota, as they were only ten minutes from my house. It is at this point, while holding a bleeding dog in my arms, they would not budge to help him until they had money in their hands. With a prolapsed eye, after quoting an outrageous sum for the procedure, the vet proceeded to put the most absurd stitches in the eyelids after restoring the eyeball into the eye socket. Wrapping the stitches in plastic stents.. ( I truly wish this site could allow me to post the pictures of this..) I returned in 4 days to complain as my dog was in absolute pain and terror. They said the only answer was to remove the eye. This was after demanding another trauma triage' fee of $275, just to look at their mess. I left determined to see another veterinarian, and would not subject their incompetence to him again. Upon another vet seeing the status of the eye, he immediately scheduled a surgery to address the crazy sutures. He removed the plastics, which he said had ulcerated the cornea, due to their placement, and the dog was in extreme distress. He replaced the Blue Pearl mess with a single suture, properly placed as it should of been in the first place. Now two weeks later, my dog has had the single suture removed, has an intact eyeball in the socket, though sadly without vision in that eye, and he has returned to his normal self. The greed and the incompetence of Blue Pearl is unbelievable. Do not take your animal here, as they are a national chain designed to make money off of your distress. We love all animals so please DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED FAMILY MEMBER HERE...! Research your options before you need to respond to an emergency, as you will end up in the wrong place, as we so sadly learned.

If I could leave negative reviews I would. I called this place on Ulmerton rd Clearwater/Largo FL and explained to them in detail what I needed for our 2 yo mixed breed. She had injured her toe nail. It was broken and bleeding and she was in pain. They said "yes, we can trest her". I arrived and checked in. Was taken to exam room and went through the "screening" process. Then they took her in the back. A different "person" came in to the room. No greeting, no introduction. She told me she could see the broken nail and the bleeding. She said the nail had a high Crack right up at the skin. She said she COULDNT treat my pup because she didn't have a DREMEL. She insisted she needed a Dremel in in order to treat her. I complained a little but she insisted. When I asked if she could just wrap the foot til I could get her to her regular vet again, she refused. Apparently if I didn't choose to have the cone collar with a bandage wrap they won't do anything. They did say they would dispense Carprofen. SO, I was required to pay the FULL $169.00 fee plus whatever they charged me for some anti inflammatory. I explained exactly what I was bringing her there for by phone and was told "yes we treat that". Feels like a huge scam. Never returning there.

Blue Pearl is a an unethical business! They price gauge and take advantage of the desperation of their clients. They are easily 3 to 4 times more expensive than other vets and greed drives their business model. If you have ANY other choice, do NOT patronize this amoral organization.

PLEASE READ Don’t ever take your pet to this horrible place. Our dog was bleeding to him to frisco emergency care and they recommended blue pearl get there and they told us he needed surgery and it will be 5900 had to pay it upfront we did that he had the surgery April of 2023 and a year later he is still bleeding. They wouldn’t even take him till we paid. Took him back recently because it comes and goes and no one told us that this would be happening and when we took him back they were rude and ignored us had us waiting for so long to see someone and no one else was waiting then after seeing him told us he needs another surgery now 1200 all they want is money they don’t care about your pets Money hungry they should not be in business with these reviews should be boycotted charged us 400 just to see him truly disgusting now telling us that he needs another procedure so they never really did what they were suppose to. DONT GO THERE!!! EVER. Still bleeding a year later. Even now again bleeding and today is 6/9/24 more than a year later surgery was 4/4/23 disgusting.

I made a appointment met with the vet he explained the surgery to remove a tumor. we had a plan and made an appointment to get it done I left feeling confident. 1 month later I took the day off work to bring my dog the the tech came out got my dog took her back then demanded 6k upfront. Like an idiot I gave it to them. They then preceded to do a nairs surgery and shortener her pallet so she could breathe better she never had an issue breathing did not need the extra surgery and I knew nothing about it till it was done. Then they removed the tumor but left her with a permanent trake witch was not disclosed as a possible outcome of the surgery. The dog now breaths through a hole in her throat making the extra unapproved nairs and palet surgery completely obsolete. Then I'm told that all the extra surgery means extra care for recovery at 1500 a day. 3 days later on Saturday they call and tell us to come get her we asked 2x what the balance to be payed was and we were told it had been covered by the initial payment. So im thinking they realized that they screwed up and were trying to make it right. So I take off work drive 2hrs to pick her up but when I get there they demand I pay 3k more and tell me the person that called us made a mistake. I explain it's 5pm on Saturday no bank is open and I didn't come prepared to pay because they told me i didn't owe anything. After over an hour of pleading with them and dealing with my spouse upset and crying they finally agreed to bill me and give me my dog. Then on Tuesday they text me wanting 4k in payment. so after I picked her up they added an additional 1k to the bill. And because of the special needs due to the permanent trake I can't even keep the dog.
