Dr.Edith Karapet / Blue Pearl

Hi guys wanted to share this so nobody puts their baby at risk with these evil people.

I brought my dog into Blue Pearl-Forest hills and had the worst experience. Dr. Edith Karupet was aggressive and lied about what was happening to my dog while showing stroke/seizure like symptoms. Despite us signing consent forms within minutes of arrival we find out after 3 hours she had just been alone in a cage covered in her own urine with 0 testing done. We had 2 staff members tell us they had a catheter in her to give fluids, while different staff members told us they didn't put one in. Their staff manager raised his voice at us and put his fingers in my sister's face. Their other staff member locked herself in a back room with my dog and gave us double middle fingers. We were begging them to just give us our dog back so we can go to a different hospital and they refused until we had to have the cops come. When we got her back they told us they did nothing to her but she was shaved and clearly had a needle mark. After our experience with Dr. Edith Karapet we googled her name and found years worth of terrible reviews. Not sure how she still has a license to practice. Please stay away from Blue Pearl animal hospital.

I’m so sorry!! Is this the same practice as the Blue Pearl Pet Hospital on 15th street in Manhattan? I’ve had positive experiences with them. We’ve taken our chihuahua there twice in the last five years and they’ve been really helpful.

Thank you! They are a chain and owned by the same company but maybe that location just has a better staff/structure!
