    Lies. Lies. Lies.

    I would strongly caution anyone against bringing a critically ill pet here without doing extensive research first. We brought our beautiful Golden Retriever to VEG ER after she began vomiting and stopped eating. We were told she had a bowel obstruction and would likely die without immediate emergency surgery. The quoted cost was approximately $9,000. We were presented with what were described as "financial assistance options," which consisted of credit applications. Those were not viable for us at the time. While low-cost clinics were briefly mentioned, we were told they were closed or would not be able to see her in time. No help with transport was offered. Because this was described as a time-sensitive emergency, we were left understanding that we had only three choices: 1. Euthanize our dog 2. Pay in full before surgery 3. Surrender her to a rescue so she could receive care We later learned information that we were not aware of at the time and that would have significantly changed how we approached this situation, including: 1. The possibility of payment being accepted after care was completed. We were told payment was required before surgery would begin. The following day, we were informed that surgery had already been completed before any payment was made. 2. Potential partnerships with nonprofit organizations that may be able to assist with emergency veterinary costs without requiring surrender of ownership. 3. The option of having additional time to attempt to crowdsource funds. A loving, bonded home facing one unexpected financial crisis was treated as less viable than surrendering our dog to strangers, and that was deeply painful. In order to save our dog's life, we made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her. She survived surgery and is alive, but we are permanently separated from her. Our children do not understand why their dog is gone, and the emotional toll has been devastating. What made this even harder was seeing the situation later characterized publicly as abandonment, which does not reflect our experience or intentions. We did not abandon our dog, we sacrificed our place in her life so she could live. That distinction matters. I believe we were given incomplete or unclear information during a moment of crisis, and that lack of clarity removed meaningful choices when time and communication mattered most. Emergency medicine is not only about medical care, but also about communication, compassion, and advocacy. In our experience, we did not feel supported in exploring every possible path to keep our dog while navigating an impossible situation. If you ever find yourself in a similar emergency, I strongly encourage researching alternatives and seeking a second opinion if possible. We went in trusting that we were being shown every option. Looking back, we do not feel that was the case. Rest assured we are looking into filing a written complaint with the state's veterinary licensing board. I have attached a documentation of lies written by the vet we had the misfortune of meeting last week.

They did not try or want to rush into surgery and even gave me some money back at the end. Every single person that dealt with me here was patient and kind and also extremely caring towards Bandit. No one wants to bring their pet here but if you have to, I really feel like this is a great place to have your pet cared for.

    GREEDY, DISHONEST, VILE COMPANY. They don't even deserve 1…read morestar. They couldn't care LESS about these animals. I rushed my poor dog Fuzzy there in the middle of the night (a few months ago) after breathing hard for a few hours, hearing fluid in his lungs, and hoping they would do ANYTHING to help him. They snatched him up and ran him to the back but just stuck him in an O2 tank and devised a massive list of tests instead of beginning with the most crucial tests that HONEST veterinarians would've done immediately. They lied to me that he had calmed down and stopped panting and showed me their initial plan... around $5,000 of tests and many were double charges for the same thing! They invent ridiculous charges like "facility" and "Nurse on hand" like WHAT??? I'm paying for nurses to be where they already were even if they never looked at my dog??? I checked on Fuzzy and he was panting even harder and moaning terribly so I grabbed him and left because they were doing NOTHING to ease his stress and pain. They're LIARS and greedy scammers who have ZERO empathy for animals. I finally found a clinic who would run an ECG but it was too late and my sweet baby passed away from Pulmonary hypertension. Since then I've heard countless horror stories about the BluePearl franchise, the McDonald's of animal hospital services.

    We brought our husky from Owensboro, KY due to bleeding from a spay incision (she's a husky). The…read moreladies on staff from the phone to the front desk to the vet assistant to the vet herself were so kind and empathetic! They were calm and kind while I was panicking. When we got there, they got her back fairly quickly. The vet tech's energy was so kind and calm, despite being a very anxious husky, scared, and in pain, our dog let her pick her up and carry her back to get started. She HATES being picked up. That was VERY telling. Both the vet tech and the vet were incredibly reassuring while being honest and informative. They drew up two different treatment plans and walked us through both so we could make an informed decision and factor in our budget and our dog's needs. When we picked her up, the aftercare instructions were clear and very informative, no guessing. They even cleaned my dog up the best they could without hurting her. She came home smelling better than she did when we picked her up from the spay! The fact that they took the time to tidy up her legs, paws, and tail, even though it wasn't required is telling. You can tell they babied her, loved on her, and took amazing care of her. While I hope to never need them again, if our pets were in need, we wouldn't hesitate to go back. It was pricey, but it's emergency veterinary care in the middle of the night, and well worth the money, in my opinion.

Doctor Tipton and her staff took wonderful care of us the other night I was out of town and my dog got sick sadly she didn't make it, but they took excellent care of her until I could get there and even afterward They were very kind and courteous to us every step of the way I would recommend this emergency vet to anybody. thanks again for the great service. I am forever grateful to each and everyone of your staff there. Josh
