Terrible, really went downhill in the past year. They find so many ways to separate customers from their wallet that it’s almost impressive.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize for any miscommunication, however, at the time of visit, you choose to sign up for a 1-year wellness plan contract. Your pet received services upfront and we allowed for payments to be made on those services, for which you signed a contract for. We reached out to you multiple times in an attempt to discuss this matter before sending the account to collections, however, you never reached back out to us to resolve this matter. Unfortunately, we cannot provide fre... read more

Horrible! No compassion, heartless owners Money hungry. They want to do unnecessary testing and medication or put to sleep. No in between. They treated us like we are bandit. Go ahead and pay first then we will start euthanize process. 5 years with wellness plan for 2 dogs and my credit card on file, plus 1800$ in 5 months! Way to go Blue Star!! I just feel bad for Doctor Gillan such a great vet unfortunately works there.

I want to start by saying that we have had no issues with the doctors at Blue Star. With that being said... the front office staff is a reflection of the doctors and I am very disappointed in our recent treatment. Our dog is epileptic and is on five pills per day. This is a lot to manage. Blue Star is aware of her condition and has treated her since we brought her home. We had her biannual bloodwork appt scheduled for Friday but were running low on one of her pills. I called at 8 am on Wednesday to have them call in pills to... read more

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are truly sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately any controlled substance requires a doctor approval, as they are federally controlled by the US DEA. We always inform our clients to call and request refills on these medications early (before they have only 1-2 doses left, which had previously been discussed with you many times) as when the doctor comes in, there are other pets that they are seeing, emergencies that come in, surgical procedures that need to be performed, etc... read more

this clinic is the BEST vet ever. period. i have actually been to all the locations (dependent upon availability and hours). this location (gratefully) was open sunday. i got a dog that apparently had been having upper respiratory issues well before acquiring him. he has now been in this clinic for approximately five days all day getting medicine and fluids on IV. also, we had to take home some medications. we will have future visits to continue to monitor him as he is only about 12 weeks old. (they also took very good of my... read more

I am so embarrassed. This job is terrible. The first time I brought him I asked for a summer cut and or trim and he came back looking like he barely got anything so I made sure this time I said something, well I guess this is what I get.. LOOK at this job on his head and ears... and they just shaved him raw... I cannot believe I paid for this AND tipped. Grooming is not this places specialty... #Maltese

Do not use their grooming service if you care about how your dog looks. Their groomer butchered our dog! After I dropped our dog off, I called to make sure they knew what to do. When I went to pick him up, he didn’t even look like my dog. I am so upset and no one at the office cared. They are going to refund us, but they passed the blame around and did not apologize or care that they shaved my dog!!!! Before and after picture.

I have been taking my Shiba here for the last 4 years and recently our new puppy. There has been zero turn over so we get to see the same wonderful people who really know and care about my fur babies. I couldn't recommend them more and trust no one else! They are an amazing team!
