    I brought my cat to this vet who was previously diagnosed by Blue ***** as having autoimmune illness. Blue ***** always had strict standards, including wearing masks to prevent transmission of covid/illness. I arrived at this appointment for a diagnostic work up for my cat. He was serviced by workers not wearing masks. He caught a flu at this visit and soon became very ill. He gave the flu he picked up to my second cat. Both cats did not eat for two days. Then the flu spread to members of the household. Everyone recovered except the cat I brought to Blue *****. He would not eat since he could not smell food due to the flu symptoms. I called Blue ***** and left messages but received no calls back over 4 days. The cat then died. Blue ***** charged me $880.43 for the diagnostic work up. It resulted in the cat being assessed to have a lifespan of 2-6 months. The cat died in about 6 days after this vet visit. The primary fact is that Blue ***** has it posted on their website that they wear masks, and because they did not follow their own policies, a pet died. I tried to resolve this with Blue *****, both the Northfield location and the corporate offices, but they stopped responding when I pointed out that their website says they were masks. I should be refunded. My cat died due to negligence.

    We have used Blue ***** for specialist services for about ******************************************************************************* July our dog had multiple seizures over the course of 2 weeks and ************* decided to add a third drug to use as a cluster buster. They offered to fill the ** but did not disclose price. When we picked up the prescription it was $287 for 18 pills. On checking with ****** the price there is $42. A 750% markup for Blue *****. As an effort to provide context a previous visit that required 4 hours and the withdrawal of almost 1000ml from the pericardium of a different dog costs less than $900. Hmmm.We are totally at fault. Due to other time pressures we hurried rather than be good consumers. We have the means and flexibility to make this kind of an error and not have any ramifications. Other families do not have that luxury. They are taking advantage of a familys love for a pet to make an outrageous profit.There is a special place in H*** for people like this.
