      Blue Pearl hospital in Largo Florida is the WORST PLACE to send your animals if they are sick or even a Checkup They are just after your money!!!! Last year my wife took one our cats to this hospital and they charged ended up charging us $ 9,000.00 dollars for nothing for 2 days --.PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLACE.I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE A MINUS 5 RATING IF I COULD!!

      I saw on the news that the Blue Pearl Pet Emergency Hospital in Pittsburgh, a vet euthanized a missing dog named Rowdy on 4th of July. the dog was chipped & had a collar with i.d. the vet didn't notify the owners they had the dog. a couple had found the dog after it got out of the house after being scared by fireworks. they took the dog to this vet thinking they would hold the dog till the owners could get there. instead the vet euthanized aka ******** Rowdy without consent. Rowdy had no injuries and wasn't sick! this vet should be charged, jailed and have their vet license revoked.

      Avoid This place at all costs it is a financial blockhole and most vets here are young and inexperienced. I have been at both Summerville and Mount Pleasant and same situation in both places. If you have a common symptom that has an obvious treatment or say your pet breaks a leg, this place can help because they too can look at google to see what the treatment plan is. But if it is in that grey area, that is where the scam of feeding off your emotions and their inexperience starts. They will take a lot of samples, blood, x-rays, ultra sounds, recommend to give fluids, recommend they stay at the hospital, ask for 3-7 different tests because they change their mind on what it is 3-7 different times. I know dogs can't talk (they will say that to you too common phrase for them), and you would need to do multiple things, but this place goes to the extreme and they will keep on going until you finally say no. Go to your local vet first and if you have to go to the hospital definitely do not go to this one. That other hospital will need to do a couple of tests, get a sample and maybe an x-ray OR Ultra sound, but not like Blue Pearl where a college grad will throw a dart at the board to see what test to try next. The owner has an excellent business plan to maximize their profit which is feeding off of your emotional attachment of your pet to give them as much money as you can. Don't fall for it. I see a class action suite coming in the future and I will be on it. My last story on Blue Pearl (went to both locations until I finally went somewhere else), I took my pet there, spent thousands of dollars, weeks went by, all the tests above, until I could not do it anymore. They could not figure it out. Went to a different place, didn't tell them what happened at Blue Pearl just to see what they would say, after some tests, she was diagnosed and given a treatment plan that day. That was only a few hundred dollars. Guess what..its been months an my dog is still fine still alive.

      Horrific. Took my Dog here on 6/26/2025. He wasn't eating & couldn't even hold down water. They said his blood work & x-rays all looked great for a Dog his age (11.5 years old). They offered to give him some anti nausea medicine, which I thought was fine & would hopefully help him hold down some food & be able to eat again. 12 hours later my Dog was dead. Reading the side effects of the medicine they gave him after the fact they included dehydration & loss of appetite. He was aldready dehydrated & not eating. They shouldve known this! I basically paid them $965 to kill my Dog. Horrible, rotten, incompetent!

      Please do not go to this place. It’s a SCAM! They prey on your emotions. They misdiagnose your animal and exploit every penny out of you for the love you have for your pets. As an emergency 24/7 ER they take the emergency fee and give you an enormous bill to keep their franchises running! Do NOT give them even the emergency pet visit money. Find someone else and take your pet to people who actually care about you and your pet

      Called in distress due to my hedgehog at the end of life. Brought her there within 30 minutes. After turning her over to the tech, paperwork was to be filled out. End result had i not consented to pay 497.00 for euthanize they would bring her back to me. Had i chose for them to mass cremate it would have been 700.00. If I wanted her remains 800. 00. Complete robbery. Hands tied to not see her suffer i paid the 500.00 and brought her home to bury. Why be a vet if no compassion.

      I am writing to formally express my deep concern and disappointment with the level of care my dog, a black lab mix, received during a recent emergency visit to your facility.Upon arrival, my dog was suffering from a burst tumor and a high fever. The initial assessment from your veterinarian was an immediate and alarming declaration of cancerdelivered without any diagnostic imaging or supporting tests at that point. This premature and distressing conclusion proved to be inaccurate, as subsequent x-rays and scans revealed no evidence of cancer.Furthermore, my dog was administered a significant amount of medication, some of which were later identified as needed to be changed. I was contacted several days after administration to inform me of the medication error. This lapse in accurate and timely care is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about oversight and communication within your team.The billing process was also problematic. I was provided with an *** quote, only to be charged thousands of dollars more than initially discussed. It was only after the payment was processed that I was informed about the option of a 12-month financing plan with 0% interestinformation that would have been helpful prior to payment.Additionally, the discharge paperwork I received stated that my dog was alert, eating, and walking. In reality, she was brought out to me on a stretcher in an unresponsive, near-comatose state. She refused food and was unable to walk. We had to seek further emergency care at another hospital and are now working with a mobile vet tech to help her regain mobility. It is clear to me that had we not sought additional treatment; my dog might not have survived.I feel strongly that the treatment she received at your facility was not in her best interest. From premature diagnoses to medication errors and questionable billing practices, situation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend your hospital. Run !

      DON'T WALK BUT RUN FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! They Don't care about your pets. I brought my dog there and after paying over $6K and getting no answers I had to leave and find another Animal ER who Helped. BluePearl would give me advise on my dog then when a new shift would come in a new Doctor would give me a complete different diagnosis. Once the orthopedic determined they couldnt operate they discharged my dog. He didnt Pee or Eat on his own BUT they ************ These people are a disgrace!!! If I could have given them ZERO STARS I would have! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T BRING YOUR ANIMAL HERE!!!!!

      Scam. ******. Made my cat suffer for three hours and I had to pay them $1400. I had to take to another vet to get a correct diagnosis for my emergency! They need to be shut down and prosecuted. They are the most evil company Ive interacted with. They care nothing about animals. Only money.
