Bluegrass Veterinary Specialists + Animal Emergency

​I cannot thank the staff at Bluegrass Veterinary Specialists + Animal Emergency enough for the incredible care and respect they showed during one of the hardest moments of my life. ​My sweet girl, NovaKane, was full of life and zooming around just the day before she passed away with a sudden battle with canine hemangiosarcoma. When it was time to say goodbye, the team here went completely above and beyond. They treated her like royalty, even bringing her a plate of their own food to enjoy. The absolute respect and tenderness they showed my baby in her final moments is something I will never forget. ​Not only were they incredibly sweet and comforting to me during the process, but they were also extremely fast with her cremation. To top it off, I received a beautiful sympathy card signed with well wishes from the staff, which completely made my week. ​They made an incredibly painful grieving process just a bit easier to bear. I am endlessly grateful for their compassion and the beautiful treatment they provided for my NovaKane. Highly, highly recommend them.

Let me just say this place will be the best decision to make for your fur baby and yourself. The staff here was absolutely incredible. They were very attentive of our cat, Romeo. They were very informative and never seemed to be in a rush, as in "Get them in, get them out" like most other places. You can tell they truly care and will treat the animals as their own. My cat had a great experience here, and he seemed to really be fond of the staff there. This is the best place to choose if you need any urgent care, and want the absolute best for your furry friend. They are reasonable in their billing as well! To the staff, thank you very much for making this such as easy going experience for my Romeo and our family. God bless you all, and thank you for loving our cat as your own! He is doing 1000% better today ❤️

I had to bring my dog here after a very stressful day and trying to figure out what was wrong with my dog at her usual vet and a different urgent veterinary place. We ended up needing to leave her overnight. They updated us on how she was doing and thankfully figured out what was going on and how to treat my dog. She’s a skittish pup, but very clearly was treated super well by everyone there. Many thanks to everyone who helped make sure our girl got better. I will definitely come back here if something ever happens again in the future.

What an incredible place. Came in late at night with Kazimierz, our ancient cat who is my "heart cat." First time in the facility - the front desk is overseen by two lovely and competent women who show care and run a tight ship. The vet tech was like family by the end of the night and the veterinarian who oversaw Kazzy’s care was professional and empathetic. Lots of happy and boisterous providers bustling around in the back. Kazzy was hospitalized and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in the care of these very competent experts.

Our 12 week old Danny, was lifeless! His vet had did what she could. He was septic, glucose 33, and body temp 92. We carried a lifeless dog in there, and the boy we are bringing home is the same happy little Danny we grew to love. The entire staff were amazing, but Dr. Brad won me over. He asked me to give Danny 24 more hours to try to fight. I thought no way this 2.6 lb baby is pulling through this. Hours later Danny stood, then he ate, then he was 24 hours seizure free. We owe them so much for saving our precious boy. Dr. Brad you have a special place in our hearts, and we thank you for saving our boy!

Dr Blakely and his staff were wonderful with our dog SoloVino. SoloVino had anal gland tumors that were very large and infected. The doctor removed the tumors as well as neutered him to prevent the tumors from returning. Found out after surgery that he had two very antibiotic resistant bacteria from the prior infected tumors. Dr Blakely was excellent with making the right decisions and SoloVino fully recovered within two weeks. The staff welcomed us by name whenever we came. They made us feel welcome there. Couldn’t recommend this hospital and surgeon enough.

I have used BVS many times. I have 5 dogs and live close. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, and gentle with your animal. They provide great care and don’t try to jack up the bill (let’s face it, emergency services are high enough without things you don’t need). Dr Stone stitched up my Doberman and did a great job. Even with a cone on overnight, she managed to get some stitches loose, however enough remain to be sufficient. The middle and two edges are still holding because of the way she stitched it. Dr Stone and all the staff and Vet Techs were amazing. The atmosphere is relaxing, they provide coffee or hot chocolate, and little biscotti biscuits. The bathroom was clean.
