BluePearl Pet Hospital Buffalo (formerly known as Greater Buffalo Veterinary Emergency Clinic (shortened to VEC)) was created by local veterinarians in 1978 as an after-hours practice to serve as an extension of their clinics. They recognized that more pets in crisis could be saved or started on the road to recovery sooner if comprehensive emergency care was available overnight and on weekends and holidays. As of June 2016, our hospital has grown to provide 24-hour veterinary emergency services throughout Erie and Niagara Counties

What reviewers say
Operating as an emergency and specialty veterinary hospital, this facility provides round-the-clock urgent care services, though experiences vary widely. Many visitors praise the veterinary team and technicians for delivering deeply compassionate, empathetic, and professional support during critical medical decisions and end-of-life care. Conversely, significant operational friction is frequently noted, including exceptionally long wait times in the waiting rooms and exam rooms, high emergency-level pricing, and occasional communication breakdowns regarding triage and treatment timelines.
