Blue Cross Animal Hospital
Royal Oak, Michigan
General Info
Blue Cross Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout Royal Oak by integrating observational assessments with geographic awareness to provide adaptable care for pets living in Michigan homes. The visit initiates with discussions on daily rhythms encompassing energy fluctuations, dietary patterns, social interactions, sleep quality variations, and environmental stress impacts. The examination proceeds with a comprehensive assessment of bodily functions which includes joint evaluations, oral health inspections, dermatological screenings, and posture analysis. The veterinarian records responses to tactile stimuli and applied pressure to assess discomfort, muscular tightness, or movement restrictions. Examination of historical data serves as a tool to detect patterns suggesting metabolic alterations alongside musculoskeletal stress and behavioral adjustments. The array of services at Blue Cross Animal Hospital spans diagnostic screenings alongside vaccination programs and extends to blood and fecal tests while also offering nutritional consults and pain management plans. The timing of visits shows local climate patterns through increased spring allergy appointments, summer parasite checks, and cold season arthritis reviews. Breeds that show predisposition to anxiety disorders alongside chronic health conditions may benefit from staggered milestone veterinary visits which allow enhanced monitoring. Pet owners receive summaries habit logs follow-up care intervals and optional digital check-in options. Caregivers of senior pets or multiple animals may seek complex scheduling systems along with telehealth services and behavior-based recheck protocols to maintain manageable care routines. Through meticulous observation combined with seasonal patterns Blue Cross Animal Hospital equips Royal Oak pet owners and those throughout Michigan with proactive tools to predict and respond—turning veterinary appointments into a progressive care routine.

We recently had to put our dog Oakley down due to Hemangiosarcoma cancer and the staff were very compassionate during this hard time. They even sent a card to our home with some very kind words from the entire staff. Early on in the discovery of his cancer they gave us numerous recommendations and honest answers for the best oncologist in the area. They were able to see us at a moments notice due to the severity of my dogs health which was comforting to us. I would highly recommend this clinic.

such an amazing team. We just moved to the area and did not have a vet, we found a big lump on our dog Saturday, called on Monday and by Tuesday our dog was being looked at. She ended up needed surgery and by Thursday she had the operation. It turned out to be lymphoma , Dr Sharma was confident he got the whole thing out. He referred us to a doggy oncologist and sat down with us to discuss the situation. Anytime we needed something they were wonderful for getting us in right away! So thankful to have had such a great Dr and team to take care of my little girl. Pictures are after her surgery by Dr Sharma and recently, Aly has been in remission after 2 chemo treatments!

This hospital also treats pets that end up in shelters so they may be busy at times. They seem to have a full service hospital. They do not conduct blood tests here. They have been nice and have allowed us to visit our pet as he was getting his kidneys flushed. They are not cheap and they will suggest recommended procedures. They aren't expensive either. If you can't afford treatment of your pet, do not get a pet. We continue to get treatment and supplies from Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr Sharma and Dr Lynn for 6 years and they are the best with our babies. The love they show our dogs has been undeniable. They always show our babies love before ever doing any examination. Every time we need anything done they always review what the costs will be for the service needed.

Horrible place! The Indian male doctor lies and tries to charge you as much money as possible and the female doctor just straight bullshits and lies. Each time my dog goes in she ends up sicker. Also my friend brought her dog in for a nail clipping and the doctor said she has an infected nail that they had to remove. Her dogs nails were fine before she went in. Now her dog has cancer in the foot. Horrible place needs to be shut down.

While I will give this place a solid star for their ability to get pets in quickly they lose all others for their charging practices. I felt they were expensive the last few times I was in but never said anything or switched practices because I like how quickly they can get my dog in to be seen. This last time however - my dog had some kind of lesion on her paw that had caused some bleeding and a very swollen pad. They first recommended we do an x-ray to which I questioned that being necessary. They told me that they wanted to rule out it being bone related, which I thought far fetched in the first place considering there was clearly a lesion and blood which would likely be the cause of the swelling, but I agreed. $127 for that. They came back telling me there wasn't anything on the x-ray (surprise!) and that they were going to just wrap her paw and give her some antibiotics and a pain killer. $304 later i'm home with amoxicillin (yep, the stuff you give your kids), and a dog with a paw wrapped in gauze and medical tape. In that $304 dollar bill - an office visit charge, an x-ray charge, $75 for the amoxicillin, a $35 wound cleaning fee, and a $25 bandage fee. So basically on top of the office visit fee I paid SIXTY DOLLARS to have some gauze and medical tape put on my dog's paw. Needless to say that was our last visit to Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

I don't normally post reviews but have to put in my two cents for Dr. Sharma and Dr. Lynn, along with all the other vet techs and staff at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. Every single person there is amazing! They are caring, compassionate, educated, and take the best care of my dog (Archer) and cat (Harley). I have recommended them to friends and when they mention my name, they know exactly who I am and who my pup is, who, unfortunately gets into a lot of mischief and has been quite the visitor. Anytime I've ever had an emergency, they do everything they can to get me seen immediately. The one time we had to actually visit an emergency room in the middle of the night for an allergic reaction to something, they called first thing the next morning to see how he was doing. Hands-down this the best veterinary team I have ever come across. Thanks everyone!!

We love Blue Cross Animal Hospital! They have taken great care of our goldendoodle puppy. They are always very accommodating when I call, working around my schedule to get him in as soon as possible when I think there's something wrong with him (which usually there isn't). They also always call a couple of days after a visit to check on him and see how he is doing. It's very clean, the staff is friendly, and we have no complaints!

We got our cat from a shelter last year and he came with a coupon to visit a clinic. I found out this vet would do a free consultation on a first visit without the coupon which was nice. We went here and he certainly made sure he got paid for his time! My cat is a neutered male about 7 years old. A British Shorthair. He is sticky by nature but weighing in at 27 pounds he definitely had some weight to lose. The vet insisted to take a fecal sample for diabetes testing and other tests for parasites. I left the free visit paying $98 and they still insisted I buy some dry food for weight loss. The worst of that is that cats don't eat dry food naturally especially carb fillers. I was also blown away when I lifted my cat to the table, and pet him to collect any loose hair (he was new for us and matted on his hind quarters since the previous owner didn't care for him and he couldn't groom himself due to his weight) and the vet snapped at me "don't do that!" I felt like I was in grade school! He picked up the loosened hair as if his fingers were tweezers and he was disgusted. He grabbed a comb and manhandled my scared cat combing his fur backwards and saying "this is how it's done" he gathered the hair in a pile and told me to do this at home later. He picked up a small hair tuff from the floor and I felt as if he was saying we're dirtying up his office and he doesn't have a cleaning crew! He was awful. Mind you all the test results were clear thankfully.

We had no idea what was going on with her because it happened so suddenly. He was so caring and was so thorough with his physical exam.

Dr. Sharma and the staff at Blue Cross were recommended to me by a customer at my work (Royal Oak Pet Supplies Plus) and I haven't strayed from their services since. When it comes to veterinary care, let's face it. Not many of us are blessed with being about to shell out thousands of dollars for their pet's care, even when in our hearts we would give them the world. I have always found this office to be very compassionate regarding everything, and they will not have you spending hundreds extra for things that will NOT improve quality of life, but also care genuinely about the well being of your "family member" and recommend the best possible care and treatment. I always recommend Blue Cross not because "it will save you a bundle", but because I trust them when it comes to my family, and it is important not to be given a runaround with the family that cannot voice their opinions. Family. That is what they are. And we want what's best for them without the B.S. This is what you get with Blue Cross. Priceless. Two thumbs up.

This place is awful! The desk staff took 17 minutes to even greet me. Then they spent approximately 30 seconds with my dog before coming back with a $217 quote for a $30 procedure. The vet was EXTREMELY rude and aggressive to me....he got so close to my face that I actually thought he was going to HIT ME when I questioned the obnoxious costs and unnecessary treatments of my tiny dog. He even had the audacity to comment on my baby's care because I questioned him. He had zero alternatives then bad mouthed the Humane Society. I now understand why they always have so many open appointments.

I cannot thank everyone at Blue Cross Animal Hospital enough. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly the entire time.I took my foster dog in for kennel cough and the staff rushed us into an exam room (to prevent the spread of this crazy contagious disease) I was glad for that. Also once a contagious dog has been inside an exam room, that room is only used for that purpose. They take all precautions to keep healthy dogs healthy!!! Also, the prices were VERY affordable. AND your first exam fee is FREE!!!!!You would be crazy not to bring your pets here.

I would never go to this place again. My dog had all the symptoms of a UEI so I took her there on short notice even though we had just moved to RO and were not registered with a vet, this was one good thing about these guys.First they muzzled my poor, scared dog even though I insisted that she had never and would never show any agression. Next they guilted me into getting a spectrum of unnecessary tests when I knew it was just a UEI, I took them a urine sample which they could have just tested first!! After all their tests and x-rays!! (they convinced me that it might be kidney stones despite her being really young), they diagnosed her with a UEI. What should have been a painless $40 vet visit turned out to be super stressful for my dog and cost over $200.If you are in an emergency, it's an OK place but if you are new to the area and need a new vet, take your time and find someone who will care for your animals.

Dr. Sharma and his staff at Blue Cross are such caring and wonderful people. Dr. Sharma goes the extra mile in research to stay current and to diagnose the cause of your animal's illness. He saved my dog's life when it looked hopeless by refusing to give up and finally finding an answer. His staff is very knowledgeable and patient. I thoroughly recommend Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

Blue Cross Animal Hospital
Royal Oak, Michigan
General Info
Blue Cross Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout Royal Oak by integrating observational assessments with geographic awareness to provide adaptable care for pets living in Michigan homes. The visit initiates with discussions on daily rhythms encompassing energy fluctuations, dietary patterns, social interactions, sleep quality variations, and environmental stress impacts. The examination proceeds with a comprehensive assessment of bodily functions which includes joint evaluations, oral health inspections, dermatological screenings, and posture analysis. The veterinarian records responses to tactile stimuli and applied pressure to assess discomfort, muscular tightness, or movement restrictions. Examination of historical data serves as a tool to detect patterns suggesting metabolic alterations alongside musculoskeletal stress and behavioral adjustments. The array of services at Blue Cross Animal Hospital spans diagnostic screenings alongside vaccination programs and extends to blood and fecal tests while also offering nutritional consults and pain management plans. The timing of visits shows local climate patterns through increased spring allergy appointments, summer parasite checks, and cold season arthritis reviews. Breeds that show predisposition to anxiety disorders alongside chronic health conditions may benefit from staggered milestone veterinary visits which allow enhanced monitoring. Pet owners receive summaries habit logs follow-up care intervals and optional digital check-in options. Caregivers of senior pets or multiple animals may seek complex scheduling systems along with telehealth services and behavior-based recheck protocols to maintain manageable care routines. Through meticulous observation combined with seasonal patterns Blue Cross Animal Hospital equips Royal Oak pet owners and those throughout Michigan with proactive tools to predict and respond—turning veterinary appointments into a progressive care routine.

We recently had to put our dog Oakley down due to Hemangiosarcoma cancer and the staff were very compassionate during this hard time. They even sent a card to our home with some very kind words from the entire staff. Early on in the discovery of his cancer they gave us numerous recommendations and honest answers for the best oncologist in the area. They were able to see us at a moments notice due to the severity of my dogs health which was comforting to us. I would highly recommend this clinic.

such an amazing team. We just moved to the area and did not have a vet, we found a big lump on our dog Saturday, called on Monday and by Tuesday our dog was being looked at. She ended up needed surgery and by Thursday she had the operation. It turned out to be lymphoma , Dr Sharma was confident he got the whole thing out. He referred us to a doggy oncologist and sat down with us to discuss the situation. Anytime we needed something they were wonderful for getting us in right away! So thankful to have had such a great Dr and team to take care of my little girl. Pictures are after her surgery by Dr Sharma and recently, Aly has been in remission after 2 chemo treatments!

The guy vet is a jerk and literally charged me for asking a question. Dude literally was so rude I felt like asking him "what do the five fingers say to the face?" On another note, the red haired lady with glasses is a sweetheart and is sincere about pets. That lady took awesome care of my babe and thank her so much for being awesome! Would've been 5 stars but that guy is such a jerk.

I take all 3 of my dogs here and they actually like going .

This hospital also treats pets that end up in shelters so they may be busy at times. They seem to have a full service hospital. They do not conduct blood tests here. They have been nice and have allowed us to visit our pet as he was getting his kidneys flushed. They are not cheap and they will suggest recommended procedures. They aren't expensive either. If you can't afford treatment of your pet, do not get a pet. We continue to get treatment and supplies from Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

VERY Expensive. I made the mistake of sending my husband in alone with our puppy who had an eye infection. $230 some dollars and numerous unnecessary services later, I wish I would have just taken him to the humane society myself, for the $60 visit and meds. I could be sick. Won't be back.

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr Sharma and Dr Lynn for 6 years and they are the best with our babies. The love they show our dogs has been undeniable. They always show our babies love before ever doing any examination. Every time we need anything done they always review what the costs will be for the service needed. I wouldn't trust our babies with anyone else but these two Dr's.

I love Blue Cross Vet. I can't thank them enough for helping my best friend. We did never realize that he gained so much weight. Dr Sharma ran some blood tests and diagnosed the disease. My buddy developed a condition where his thyroid was not working well. They sent him home on medication and he lost 10 pounds within first month. Everybody loves my dog. Receptionists are always happy to help. Thank you guys.

Horrible place! The Indian male doctor lies and tries to charge you as much money as possible and the female doctor just straight bullshits and lies. Each time my dog goes in she ends up sicker. Also my friend brought her dog in for a nail clipping and the doctor said she has an infected nail that they had to remove. Her dogs nails were fine before she went in. Now her dog has cancer in the foot. Horrible place needs to be shut down.

While I will give this place a solid star for their ability to get pets in quickly they lose all others for their charging practices. I felt they were expensive the last few times I was in but never said anything or switched practices because I like how quickly they can get my dog in to be seen. This last time however - my dog had some kind of lesion on her paw that had caused some bleeding and a very swollen pad. They first recommended we do an x-ray to which I questioned that being necessary. They told me that they wanted to rule out it being bone related, which I thought far fetched in the first place considering there was clearly a lesion and blood which would likely be the cause of the swelling, but I agreed. $127 for that. They came back telling me there wasn't anything on the x-ray (surprise!) and that they were going to just wrap her paw and give her some antibiotics and a pain killer. $304 later i'm home with amoxicillin (yep, the stuff you give your kids), and a dog with a paw wrapped in gauze and medical tape. In that $304 dollar bill - an office visit charge, an x-ray charge, $75 for the amoxicillin, a $35 wound cleaning fee, and a $25 bandage fee. So basically on top of the office visit fee I paid SIXTY DOLLARS to have some gauze and medical tape put on my dog's paw. Needless to say that was our last visit to Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

I don't normally post reviews but have to put in my two cents for Dr. Sharma and Dr. Lynn, along with all the other vet techs and staff at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. Every single person there is amazing! They are caring, compassionate, educated, and take the best care of my dog (Archer) and cat (Harley). I have recommended them to friends and when they mention my name, they know exactly who I am and who my pup is, who, unfortunately gets into a lot of mischief and has been quite the visitor. Anytime I've ever had an emergency, they do everything they can to get me seen immediately. The one time we had to actually visit an emergency room in the middle of the night for an allergic reaction to something, they called first thing the next morning to see how he was doing. Hands-down this the best veterinary team I have ever come across. Thanks everyone!!

We love Blue Cross Animal Hospital! They have taken great care of our goldendoodle puppy. They are always very accommodating when I call, working around my schedule to get him in as soon as possible when I think there's something wrong with him (which usually there isn't). They also always call a couple of days after a visit to check on him and see how he is doing. It's very clean, the staff is friendly, and we have no complaints!

My poor Sophie cat swallowed my threaded needle and have to have emergency surgery Tuesday it was a total accident I got ready to hand sew something to a bag I made got called out of the room for 5 freakin minutes and when I returned I saw her swallow it within 10 min we were at Blue Cross animal hospital thanks to Dr Sharma and Dr Lynn and the staff they were wonderful called me let me call when ever I wanted and were always pleasant and caring. She came home yesterday and being kept confined on my bedroom food water liter the whole nine yards at night we flipped over the playpen to keep her safe and confined during the night I thought that was a great idea so thanks baby Noah for letting us use your playpen.

I took my princess Bella in today to get her nails trimmed and also to be seen for an upper respiratory infection. I think I was more upset than Bella was. I dislike seeing my love not feeling well. This was my 2nd visit to Blue Cross and I couldn't be happier. Only the best for my Bella. Jaime (not sure if I'm spelling her name right) and all the staff took such great care of Bella. They were all very welcoming and kind. If your looking for the best care for your animals.... Blue Cross is the place to go!!!! It's fabulous and we will continue to use their services.

We got our cat from a shelter last year and he came with a coupon to visit a clinic. I found out this vet would do a free consultation on a first visit without the coupon which was nice. We went here and he certainly made sure he got paid for his time! My cat is a neutered male about 7 years old. A British Shorthair. He is sticky by nature but weighing in at 27 pounds he definitely had some weight to lose. The vet insisted to take a fecal sample for diabetes testing and other tests for parasites. I left the free visit paying $98 and they still insisted I buy some dry food for weight loss. The worst of that is that cats don't eat dry food naturally especially carb fillers. I was also blown away when I lifted my cat to the table, and pet him to collect any loose hair (he was new for us and matted on his hind quarters since the previous owner didn't care for him and he couldn't groom himself due to his weight) and the vet snapped at me "don't do that!" I felt like I was in grade school! He picked up the loosened hair as if his fingers were tweezers and he was disgusted. He grabbed a comb and manhandled my scared cat combing his fur backwards and saying "this is how it's done" he gathered the hair in a pile and told me to do this at home later. He picked up a small hair tuff from the floor and I felt as if he was saying we're dirtying up his office and he doesn't have a cleaning crew! He was awful. Mind you all the test results were clear thankfully.

I thought I really liked this place until my last annual checkup. I had an appointment for 6, was in a room at 6:30 the vet came in, checked my with his stethoscope in four spots, asked my how many months of trifexis I wanted, came back in showed me my bill, a tech came in pretty much had me pin my dog, ran though the shots and the nose spray and left. My dog loved this place, he left tail between his legs. Finding another place now.

I was very pleased with the help my doggies and I received today at this facility. Jean helped me by giving gr8 directions(I had to call her twice) because I was sooo lost. Their vet was thorough and very attentive. She took a lot of notes this helps me to feel like they are actively listening. I don't like that they took them out of the room to administer shot mostly bcus I've heard too many horrible pet abuse stories. Lucky mine came back to me unscratched. I wish it wasn't as far away as it is bcuz I like the staff to include the vets. Ty for a positive experience.

I can't say enough amazing things about Dr. Sharma and the staff at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. My cat was extremely sick and we brought her to see Dr. Sharma. We had no idea what was going on with her because it happened so suddenly. He was so caring and was so thorough with his physical exam. He helped us figure out what was going on with her immediately which was so important because it was life threatening. We have taken her in for check ups since then and she is doing sooo much better. He treats our animals with such love and we are so thankful for that.I've never met a more knowledgeable veterinarian. He has such a good heart and truly cares for the animals. I definitely recommend that everyone takes their animals into Blue Cross!

Dr. Sharma and the staff at Blue Cross were recommended to me by a customer at my work (Royal Oak Pet Supplies Plus) and I haven't strayed from their services since. When it comes to veterinary care, let's face it. Not many of us are blessed with being about to shell out thousands of dollars for their pet's care, even when in our hearts we would give them the world. I have always found this office to be very compassionate regarding everything, and they will not have you spending hundreds extra for things that will NOT improve quality of life, but also care genuinely about the well being of your "family member" and recommend the best possible care and treatment. I always recommend Blue Cross not because "it will save you a bundle", but because I trust them when it comes to my family, and it is important not to be given a runaround with the family that cannot voice their opinions. Family. That is what they are. And we want what's best for them without the B.S. This is what you get with Blue Cross. Priceless. Two thumbs up.

This place is awful! The desk staff took 17 minutes to even greet me. Then they spent approximately 30 seconds with my dog before coming back with a $217 quote for a $30 procedure. The vet was EXTREMELY rude and aggressive to me....he got so close to my face that I actually thought he was going to HIT ME when I questioned the obnoxious costs and unnecessary treatments of my tiny dog. He even had the audacity to comment on my baby's care because I questioned him. He had zero alternatives then bad mouthed the Humane Society. I now understand why they always have so many open appointments.

I cannot thank everyone at Blue Cross Animal Hospital enough. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly the entire time.I took my foster dog in for kennel cough and the staff rushed us into an exam room (to prevent the spread of this crazy contagious disease) I was glad for that. Also once a contagious dog has been inside an exam room, that room is only used for that purpose. They take all precautions to keep healthy dogs healthy!!! Also, the prices were VERY affordable. AND your first exam fee is FREE!!!!!You would be crazy not to bring your pets here.

I would never go to this place again. My dog had all the symptoms of a UEI so I took her there on short notice even though we had just moved to RO and were not registered with a vet, this was one good thing about these guys.First they muzzled my poor, scared dog even though I insisted that she had never and would never show any agression. Next they guilted me into getting a spectrum of unnecessary tests when I knew it was just a UEI, I took them a urine sample which they could have just tested first!! After all their tests and x-rays!! (they convinced me that it might be kidney stones despite her being really young), they diagnosed her with a UEI. What should have been a painless $40 vet visit turned out to be super stressful for my dog and cost over $200.If you are in an emergency, it's an OK place but if you are new to the area and need a new vet, take your time and find someone who will care for your animals.

Dr. Sharma and his staff at Blue Cross are such caring and wonderful people. Dr. Sharma goes the extra mile in research to stay current and to diagnose the cause of your animal's illness. He saved my dog's life when it looked hopeless by refusing to give up and finally finding an answer. His staff is very knowledgeable and patient. I thoroughly recommend Blue Cross Animal Hospital.
