BluePearl Pet Hospital

I called 4 different places, here twice. My dog lost all use of her hind end. They made an exception to see her, told me it would be a long wait, I didn’t care. I got her there and they immediately tended to me and her needs. I wasn’t fortunate to be able to bring my dog home but the care they gave her, and me in the 5 hours we were there was great. I couldn’t tell you the names of the staff I talked with and who helped me but I couldn’t have been in a better place for such an unfortunate evening. They helped her get comfortable, which she hadn’t been for hours. They gave me all the time I needed and wanted and never pushed anything. I was given the options, and they didn’t question anything. Being selfish wouldn’t of been fair. My baby was only 4.5yo. I didn’t have enough time, but here they really put provide great care. As much as I hope to never have to do emergency veterinary runs again, this would be my first choice! I thank the staff from the evening 4/26-early morning 4/27 with my whole heart! Thank you for seeing her, thank you for taking care of her and being there when I had questions! She truly felt better while we spent our last few hours together, plenty of smiles and I am so grateful to of gotten and seen those before they became a memory!

They saved my dog's life. I think that pretty much says it all but I'll expand just a bit. My dog, Nike was drooling and refusing to drink and would barely eat. I took her to her normal vet who thought she was sick to her stomach and prescribed antibiotics to help. Her condition worsened and I took her back to a vet at her normal practice (Banfield). Due to her refusal to drink he became fixated on the hypothesis that she had rabies. She is vaccinated and lives indoors. He hypothesized she drank water from a creek ( I said she had done so) and that an infected animal had died there. I felt that was a reach and should be at the bottom of a differential diagnosis. I left and took Nike to Blue Pearl. On the way there Banfield called and recommended that I should get a rabies vaccine and consider prophylactic euthanzation for Nike. Blue Pearl agreed with me that that was an odd and obscure conclusion. They gave Nike IV fluids which she desperately needed, noted a sore mass in her throat on a physical, and kept her overnight for a CT. They noted a mass near her larynx on the CT and suspected a abscess potentially due to a foreign object. They gave her IV antibiotics and within 24 hours she was so much better. Two weeks later she is back to herself. It was expensive but not overpriced per se - medical diagnostics are expensive. The staff was kind and compassionate. If my dog is ever very ill in the future I will absolutely return.

We can't thank Blue Pearl Kirkland enough for their expertise, kindness, and patience. Our Golden recently had to receive an endoscopy and spend the night due to swallowing a foreign object. Their graciousness and support while we navigated our first medical emergency with our dog was so appreciated, made a scary moment a little easier, and thanks to their wonderful staff she's home safe.

I had called blue pearl after my dog was struggling to deliver her third baby. They were very busy at the time but still accepted nova in for care. The front desk was very friendly made me and nova feel comfortable and the Dr. was very thorough and answered all my questions and more. I would definitely recommend this team for your emergency pet visits :)

We have been using Seattle Veterinary Specialist off and on for close to ten years now. Two of our sweet furry family members were also put down here the light that time. One with an awful disease that we battled for months, another of old age - it was finally her time. There were moments of eating bags of chocolate on thanksgiving that brought us in, heart disease, chemo and the most recently a tick. I trust the individuals who work here more than I can truly say. They’re professional, thorough and more importantly compassionate for whatever your situation is. There isn’t a better emergency vet or vet specialist around.
