No one wants to go to an emergency pet facility, but Saturday night the staff made our loss bearable with their tender hands to our Maggie. Unfortunately, we lost Maggie but it was so nice to see how much the staff cared not only about her but us as well. I have and will continue to recommend this facility for emergency care of anyone's pets. Thank you Emergency Pet Clinic for your kindness in this hard time we experienced and thank you for taking such loving care of our Maggie. Read Less

The entire staff was amazing with my scared little dog. The vet was very understanding and explained everything. The tech was very sweet and calm with her, even when she was hiding under the chairs and refused to come out. The visit was slightly more expensive than my regular vet (by about $20) but it's an emergency vet, that's understandable. I would definitely take both of my babies back here if they ever need it, and I would recommend them to others! Read Less

(long) Brought my Animal in with the assumption she may have been poisoned by flee spray. We had called first and they knew we were on our why and for what. Upon arrival, hardly in the door, the nurse met us in the lobby scooped up my dog and took her in back. After checking in, the Dr met me in the exam room and very politely started asking me question on how I was negligent with my animal and the flee spray. €€ Did the bottle tell you to put that much on the dog €.?€. After a brief discussion defending myself, she referred me to animal poison control of which I called while in the exam room. After almost being laughed at by the experts on the other line, they explained I would have needed to €force my dog to drink the entire bottle€ to have an effect. I gave the Dr. the case number, she called and they back briefed her, of which she parroted back to me. After this conclusion the Dr. brought my dog back to me and THEN began to actually give her an examination. Inspecting my dogs spin, the Dr. clearly found a disk that had slipped and was causing the dog pain. My dog is an elderly dog with hind quarter muscle atrophied due in part by advanced stage post op terminal lounge cancer, this information of which I had to force on the Dr. The Dr. stated €a pinched nerve is very very rare€. We supplied x-rays from our Vet and the Dr was able to confirm the vertebra with the problem. After receiving pain medication, just shy of $400 for the ER ethics consult, $60 for the informative poison control consult, providing my own x-rays, and an excuse that they were busy (with no one in the waiting room except us at 2 am) we were on our way. Price would have been fine, if the service provided was worth it. To sum up: We were greeted at the door as if we had committed animal abuse and the nurse couldn€t get the animal in the back fast enough (understandable), the Dr. line of questioning was clear that she assumed I had abused my animal out of negligence (understandable), we were referred to an outside source before the Dr had ever even performed any type of neurological examination to the animal (not understandable), it wasn€t until after all judgment was passed did the Dr finally ask relevant questions and give my dog a proper neurological exam that actually discovered the problem within minutes (not understandable). The judging and game playing took almost 2 hours, the actual examination and discharge with pain meds took 30 mins. I am sure all of this has some sort of €procedural€ check list that everyone will claim was strictly followed, and I am sure the Dr. is very compassionate and cares greatly for what she does, she is simply a green Dr and it shows with the lack of efficiency and was confirmed by the dates of her credentials hung on the wall. Given the circumstance I may have been judgmental upon first impression as well, but her judgment on me clearly impeded her ability to keep a clear mind with assessing my animal. My wife and I were simply over cautious animal owners who had never used flee products in the past, did not understand what was happening to our animal and guessed at the problem making the most conservative decision we could. After everything had transpired and looking back, we clearly realized the attending Dr did exactly the same thing we had done, guessed with minimal examination/information, but my wife and I are not Dr.s €... I would love to review the exam room cam and watch everything transpire as a spectator. Read Less

Vet had common sense and didn't charge me an arm and a leg for labs I didn't need. Got me right in and out unlike VCA-Oso where I waited 4+ hours for a diagnostic misadventure on a time-critical issue (retinal detachments due to hypertension) that had to be fixed by the cat specialist in San Antonio. Lucky the pieces could be picked up at all after that one. I do not agree charges are exorbitant for what you get. Some places charge a $150+ fee just to get in to see a vet after hours. Still don't know how they'll be with a critically ill animal, but I liked what I got for what I paid. Read Less

Extremely knowledgable, professional and genuinely caring Doctors & staff here! My 8 yr. old terrier mix suffered a seizure/Syncope episode suddenly, late one weeknight. She had never had any type of seizures before, that we are aware of. The veterinarian on duty was EXCELLENT, reassuring and had all necessary emergency equipment (radiology scanners, etc....very high-tech) on-site. 'SADIE' is doing great now! She has had no additional synocope episodes. I would recommend anyone with a major or minor pet emergency to go to BluePearl. Read Less

The staff here is great. I have been here three times with my lab and have always been treated kindly and with compassion. They gave me a blanket and pillow to sleep next to my boy while we waited for tests in the middle of the night. Dr. Heather Joseph is a sweetheart and a true professional. Pet emergencies are stressful, she made it easier to deal with. I hope I don't have to see them often but I don't hesitate to call knowing my fur child is going to be well taken care of! Read Less

I can't say that I loved it cause my pup was not doing so good, but as far as emergency vets go, this place is fairly priced, cares very much for your pets well being and is courteous and clean. Dr. VanSickle was very professional and even called us the next day to see how our girl was doing. She went above and beyond and we really appreciated it. As far as we are concerned, we will use this emergency facility every time we have an emergency issue arise with our three pups. Read Less

Thank you so much for the compassion and understanding of the staff and vet services that my Midnight received. I was so distraught that night. I knew Midnight was not going to survive. The vet and staff did not lead me astray. The sympathy card with Midnight's paw print was beautiful. Thank you so much for your kindness. Read Less

First of all, this is an emergency vet, therefore expect to wait and it won't be cheap. We all pay more for ER visits than a routine dr appt. Same principle. Dr. Montgomery was incredible. She gave me my options and let me choose, 0 judgement. She was honest and told me to save money and go to my regular vet. She also saved me money by prescribing 1 medication and allowing me to take it to HEB instead. It is very clean, as I watched them mop the floors and spray down the entire place after a few pets left. I hope I don't need them, but wouldn't hesitate to go back if necessary. Read Less

This so called "staff" was extremely rude to a friend of mine in a time of need for her fur baby and then had the audacity to call her fur baby a "bitch", this is the worst of places I have ever encountered with staff hospitality, I will never ever take my babies to this facility ever!! Read Less

Thank you all for helping me with my cat Tweeny. He has been my companion for 19 and a half years. The card with the paw print was very thoughtful. What a wonderful service you provide the people in the Corpus Christi area. Read Less

My cat passed away last week and Emergency Pet Clinic was awesome! They were very compassionate. I even got a card in the mail with my baby's footprint and signed by the employees. Keep up the amazing work! Highly recommend for your emergency pet's needs! Read Less

I had a wonderful experience here at this clinic. My dog had been violently vomiting along with lots of blood in her stool. As soon as I came in, the whole staff reassured me that she will be fine. The doctor came in and told me thoroughly what her treatment strategy was in order to identify the problem. They even broke down treatment cost for me as well. As soon as she was treated, they also gave me specific instructions after she was discharged. I was fully confident after our experience my dog will have a speedy recovery!Read Less

The folks last night that helped me and my husband with our sweet cockatiel could not have been kinder. They treated us quickly with care, compassion and sympathy. They were absolutely wonderful people to have with me during this difficult time. Thank you so much for making my experience a little bit better. Read Less

Dr. Tristan is great with birds. The prices are normal from what I've experienced owning animals. I thought the amount charged was great for an emergency vet on a Friday night. If you have a companion bird or any animal, I recommend this clinic. Read Less

I feel the procedure performed on my pet was very good. My pet had never experienced the condition he suffered, but believe the emergency clinic did a real good job. My dog is now 5 days into recovery and doing better. Only reason I would not recommend anyone or return to this clinic is because of the variable price quote I was given. The doctor examined my dog and stated, "Everything would cost $500-600." As soon as I said, "Okay," the doctor went ahead and filled out a paper with a final price of $600. I assumed the $500-600 range was due to a possible extra procedure, equipment or medicine which was going to depend once taking my dog to the back to further examine and start treatment. I questioned the $600 price and asked I thought it was $500-600, not depending on whether I'd be willing to pay more because I could, but because it depended on other circumstances. The doctor just stated, "Yes, its $600." I went ahead since I was already there. I had read other reviews of price inflation, but still chose this location over two others I was considering. I also thought having to pay the whole amount upfront before anything was even done was way out of the ordinary for any service. A partial down payment (even half of amount) is reasonable, but paying the whole amount before any service is not good business. Read Less

I have taken 2 of my dogs here and had a good experience. I was seen promtly and They knew what was wrong right away. Unfortunately we recently had to put one down which was extremely difficult! They staff was very kind and even lowered my bill when my card wasn't working. I was not rushed and my baby was handled with care. Today I even got a paw print that was taken and a very sweet had written card from the staff. We had been planning to take her paw print for a while and I was afraid I wasn't going to get one because it was so sudden. I also liked that i was told exactly what was happening and what would happen in the future. I don't like for doctors to tell you about treatments when they know the outcome won't be different. I was told what was wrong and everything was handled with care. Thank you to the staff. Read Less

This facility is to be avoided unless it is a life or death situation. First the cost is akin to price gouging since the facility charges 4-5 times or more than customary veterinary costs. Even taking into consideration a reasonable charge for emergency service their prices are exorbitant. No wonder they have credit card applications on the desks. Big red flag! Furthermore after being charged over $1000 dollars my pet was misdiagnosed and I wonder now if they intentionally diagnose conditions as far more severe than what is actually the case. Pushy with their opinion and treatment plan and rather stand offish and blunt when asked about other options. These corporate facilities are far more worried about their bottom lines than making accurate diagnoses and they apparently train their vets to take the most drastic and costly approach to diagnosis and treatment. They know you are in a desperate situation and they unfortunately take full advantage of the clients vulnerability. It must be the fact that they know you will never return and they need to bleed everything out of the client while they can. Read Less

They provide great care for the pet, and it's good that they are open when others are closed, but the fact that they close at 8AM means you have to move your pet elsewhere, in some cases before it's ready to be moved. They are good about forwarding all information to the place you are taking your baby. After all that, my pet is well into recovery now and I expect she will be OK soon, I have to give thanks to the surgery and care the Pet Center provided. I rated only three stars because of two negative issues, first, the issue of closing at 8AM (in my case I had to get up after sleeping only two hours following a very stressful late night and go move my baby when I felt she shouldn't be moved). Mainly, the lowered rating is because of the cost of using these guys. You will need to cash out your 401-K and expect to need ALL of it to pay your BILL here. If there is any way you can hold off till regular veterinarians open in the morning, do so, even if it means you have to take time off work, that won't be as expensive overall. Also when I brought my dog back the following night for follow up exam and care, they hit me with another sky high long list of charges. It felt somewhat like bringing my car into the dealer for service. I have had the same issue involving the cost at the other Corpus area "open all night" pet care center, but at least they are open 24 hours and should be able to provide better continuity of recovery care.Read Less
