BluePearl Pet Hospital

Well I didn't have "hair wrapped around nipple" on my dog's potential health issues but thankfully the amazing staff was able to help us out. For reasons unknown to me, my dog Harlee managed to get hair tightly wound around her nipple with a little sap. I figured she was just in a heat cycle so didn't have much concern with her grooming. Until I saw a much larger nipple protruding. I tried the best I could to soak her belly with a warm cloth and remove what I could. I called to see if the care team could help me, and they not only confirmed this was a first for them- but they could help. I'm glad I brought her in to be seen and I feel reassured that I couldn't remove it on my own. Walking away from a minimal wait time and small bill was so worthwhile. I recommend them for any emergency animal needs. Thank you everyone! I hope not to come back soon, but I will if need be.

My 10-year-old German Shepherd, Gabe, had a large tumor in his neck that was causing him a lot of pain and his primary vet found last August. It had metastasized and was malignant, so I was freaking out because this dog is half my heart and I know he won't live forever, but I don't want his final years to be miserable, so she referred us to OVS to see what could be done. We had a surgery consult in October with Dr. Gustafson. I was drenched with sweat, my heart was pounding out of my chest, my hands were shaking, and I was fearing the worst (like I said, I was freaking out!), but Dr. Gustafson put all my worries at ease right away—he was professional articulate, empathetic, super sharp, and excellent at explaining my options. Less than a month later, he removed Gabe's tumor, an 81 gram monster the size of a jumbo egg, and Gabe was on the mend. The first few days were rough because Gabe is such a high-energy dog, but after a week he was trotting circles around me and after a month he was back to running circles around me with a big smile on his face. Now, six months later, Gabe is doing better than he was at this time last year. He's not yelping or flinching when he lifts his head up anymore, his energy is back to its near limitless levels, he's following me around the yard as I work on things, and he's just as happy as can be. Just a few days ago, he swam for several hours without getting tired, then we ran a couple of miles together and he pouted when it was time to go home. We go on walks every day and soak up the sunrise whenever we can, he's jumping in and out of the car without any problems, and he doesn't sit or sleep in weird positions anymore since he doesn't have that big painful thing in his neck. I couldn't be happier, and neither could he. Dr. Gustafson and OVS staff, you are outstanding! You gave my boy his life back! We can't thank you enough!

♡♡WHEN I WROTE THIS REVIEW THIS EMERGENCY VET WAS NOT BLUE PEARL. I HATE BLUE PEARL!!! THEY ARE OWNED BY MARS PET FOOD/CANDY BARS AND ARE EXACTLY THE REASON WHY ALL VET PLACES PRICES ARE GOING WAY WAY UP!! THESE CORPORATE GARBAGE COMPANIES ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY AND BLUE PEARL GIVES COMMISSIONS TO EMPLOYEES AND DOCTORS TO UPSELL YOU SERVICES LABS TESTS ETC YOU DON'T NEED!! I AM CHANGING MY REVIEW TO 1 🌟 ♡♡ My senior rescue pomeranian was in so much pain and it literally happened out of nowhere at eleven o'clock at night. She was in so much pain she was shaking and practically convulsing. I live in Yelm and called everywhere from Tacoma to Puyallup to Olympia and all surrounding areas. Then I saw Olympia Veterinary Specialist pop up and decided to give them a call. I couldn't believe my luck or maybe it was intervention from God but they had no wait time and said bring her in now. Everywhere else either wasn't accepting any more patients or 6 plus hours of wait time. I brought her right in and they saw her immediately!! Only downside was they don't have any receptionist at night so you have to hand your pet over and wait in the car. I don't like that. Covid has been over for a long time. I was really nervous that they were going to try and run a bunch of tests and take x-rays and whatever other expensive tests they could run to get the cost up especially with me not being right there, but they didn't. Dr Edward's was amazing and had her diagnosed and back in the car in less than 40 minutes!! It was $200 just for the visit and with meds it was under $300. Cheapest emergency vet bill I ever had. I took her to her regular vet the next day who confirmed the diagnosis and after a visit to the chiropractor my girl is back to normal. Highly recommend this place and Dr Edwards. Thank you!!

We’ve used this ER clinic over the past four years whenever we cannot access our primary vet quickly, mostly nights and weekends. They are efficient, highly competent, and caring. On the most recent visit, our girl had an infection in her foot that needed immediate attention. She was taken in right away and we left within two hours with wound treated, meds, and a plan. It came in under estimated cost as well. Very pleased. Patient is recovering nicely!

I had a scary situation with my sweet dog. The nurse who came out to check on us made me feel so comfortable and was attentively listening and comforting my dog. She took him back to assess him and shortly after the doctor updated me on his condition. They was very thorough. Made suggestions and presented different options for me. I hated that I had to go in there but was so grateful for them and their care. Hopefully I never have to go back but know if I have to, we will be in good hands. If anyone else is in a situation that your loved pet needs care, please take them here. They are so knowledgeable and attentive.
