Florida Veterinary Specialists

FYI – This business is named BluePearl now – We came in with a stray dog on the evening of Janurary 25^th and the staff did essentially nothing to help us. We were told that they couldn’t give us any information on the owner, that they sent the own a facebook message, and that we could either sit with the dog for as long as it would take for the owner to respond to a facebook message or take the unknown dog back to our home with 2 cats. While the girl who helped us could not give us any information on the owner of the dog b/​c it would be a «violation of privacy» she graciously kept offering us to leave and leave our phone number so that she could give it to the owner if they ever responded. I understand that the goal of your franchise is to turn a profit and to not participate ion charity work, but you couldn’t have been less helpful or more disinterested in helping a dog that we found in the middle of the highway. The girl who «helped us» also suggested that we could go back to where we found the dog and set him loose. Very «compassionate» staff. I don’t know if this is how they treat everybody who visits the establishment or if we would have been given better care if we were paying customers, but I am not willing to give you my money to find out. I will also pass on my experience to other pet owners in the area.

For several years the vets an FVS, now Blue Pearl, have taken excellent care of Muffin, our 15 ½ year old Shih Tzu. When Muffin became ill with Cushing’s Disease, Dr. Otte gave us the avenues for treatment. He was with us for almost 2 additional years after diagnosed with the disease due to her help and recommendations. We thank her every day for the extra time we got to have Muffin. Sadly we had to put him to sleep last November. Thank you, Dr. Otte and your wonderful staff for all the advise and caring attitude for Muffin and us.

Got referred to this place because it was a weekend and had to take my dog in for urgent care, don’t worry dog is fine now. This place is clean, staff is ultra-​courteous, and the level of care is first rate.
If you get referred by your normal vet on the same day they knock 50 off of the initial visitation fee, but without any type of pet insurance this place is expensive.
While this is an experience I would wish on no one I would recommend this facility if you had a pet emergency.
