8 weeks after they said my dog's leg would not heal, His broken leg is healed thanks to Blue Pearl! I'm Here to remind everyone 4 Paws wouldn't even touch my dogs leg but still charged us for a consultation and xrays they took even though they knew they couldn't help the animal. If you have a major concern with your pet for anything above BASIC Flea and tick and heart worm, then skip these guys and go straight to Blue Pearl because they care about your animal and have the actual resources and plans to help you. 4 Paws will take $400 from you just to refer your pet elsewhere. We now go to Blue Pearl

The staff was very friendly with a clean environment. I really did enjoy their personalities. However, the pricing was higher than most vets. Also they try to sell you on things not really needed. I called two other vets & was told I didn't need most of the stuff this facility tried to sell me on although I did pay for one item just for a peace of mind.. also the other vets quoted cheaper prices for the same services. I just didn't go to any of those because their available appts were way too far out. Keep in mind the dog I brought in was a senior and may only have 3 years left at most due to the

Dr. Tharp and all the team are not only the best for the pets, but they are also friendly and warm with us. I've been going there for about 14 months now. They took good care of our 9yo baby until he passed away, and now they're again taking excellent care of our new puppy. We highly and only recommend them!

Four Paws is awesome! When you come back in they are excited to meet your pet and treat them like their own. They have great customer service, nice and clean facility, and very competitive prices. There is no forced sales here, they just want to educate you and are looking out for your pets safety and health. They have my highest recommendations.
