Testimonials.
My story with BluePearl started when my 5 year old husky/malamute Malakai was diagnosed with anal gland adenocarcinoma at his regular vet while getting his anal glands expressed. We got a referral to BluePearl and met with Dr. Kaufman to discuss our surgical options. She was so kind, intelligent, and really made us feel comfortable moving forward with diagnostic scans and surgery. We were so happy to find that his cancer had not spread anywhere else in his body, and surgery was an excellent option. She explained every detail of the surgery with us and included pictures and models to help us understand. She gave us so much of her time and gave us realistic expectations. I trusted her 100% throughout the whole process.
On the day of surgery, she called me personally to let us know how his surgery went, how she navigated through the complications, and how he was doing. She successfully removed his entire tumor despite the significant scar tissue surrounding it. The BluePearl staff also sent me pictures and updates on Malakai throughout the morning and night which put us at ease.
We found out after his tumor was sent to pathology that the cancerous cells may have circulated into Malakai’s bloodstream so we were referred to Dr. Duffy, who is equally phenomenal. She walked us through our options and recommended that we complete some scans to ensure that there weren’t any visible cancerous spots in his body. Everything looked great and per her recommendation, we decided to move forward with chemo to further ward off any cancerous cells that may be in his bloodstream. Dr. Duffy walked us through the different chemo options, the cost associated with chemo, how he may respond, and what his life would look like moving forward.
We recently had a follow up with Dr. Duffy now that we have finished chemo and found out that Malakai’s body is free from cancer. I cried so many happy tears and I am forever grateful to this team. Dr. Duffy walked us through what we need to do moving forward and I put full trust in her recommendations. She always made us feel so welcome, remembered Malakai, and was excited to see his progress.
I will never forget the people who helped me, my dog, and our family on our scariest days. Please, if you need specialty services for your pup and you can make it work financially, take them to BluePearl. There is no limit to the money I would spend to save my dog and this team was worth every single penny.
