They currently have hospitals in 21 states. The firm is one of the largest private providers of approved veterinary residency and internship educational programs in the world,[1] and employs more than 475 veterinarians.[2] HistoryThe firm was founded as Florida Veterinary Specialists in 1996 by two brothers, Dr. Neil Shaw, a board-certified specialist in veterinary internal medicine, and Darryl Shaw, a certified public accountant.[3] In 2008, it merged with NYC Veterinary Specialists and Cancer Treatment Center in New York City and Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center in Kansas City, creating BluePearl Veterinary Partners.[4] In 2010, Georgia Veterinary Specialists and Michigan Veterinary Specialists also merged with the firm.[5] In October 2015, BluePearl Veterinary Partners was acquired by Mars Petcare division. This acquisition resulted in Mars Petcare, who also owns Banfield Pet hospital and pet food brands such as Royal Canin and Pedigree, becoming the largest pet nutrition and veterinary care provider in the world.[6] Significant EventsIn February 2010, Dr. Michael Kimura, a specialist in veterinary neurology with BluePearl, assisted in giving a live shark from the Florida Aquarium an MRI after the shark had failed to eat anything and it seemed like there was a foreign object lodged in the shark's esophagus. This is one of the first times a live shark had ever been given and MRI under anesthesia.[7] In March 2013, the firm's Dr. Amy Zalcman, in Manhattan, oversaw the removal of 111 pennies from a Jack Russell Terrier named Jack. using the non-invasive Endoscopic foreign body retrieval, to remove the pennies one-by-one.[8][9] On May 22, 2013,the firm's Dr. Mike Reems removed a 4-pound hairball from a tiger in Clearwater, Fla. The hairball was given to Ripley's Believe it or Not.[10] On October 21, 2013, doctors from the firm saved the life of Eddie, a 5-year-old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) assigned to the U.S. Air Force's 6th Security Forces Squadron at MacDill Air Force Base when he presented at BluePearl Veterinary Partners in Tampa, Fla.[11] with signs related to heatstroke.[12] The dog, an Air Force K-9 trained to detect improvised explosive devices, is credited with saving the lives of several service members in Afghanistan when he detected an IED.[13] PartnershipsIn 2011, the firm partnered with the U.S. Army to provide Army veterinarians and technicians preparing to deploy to areas of conflict with hands-on emergency veterinary experiences at the firm's hospitals.[14] The program is a nine-day schedule where the soldiers experience first-hand medical veterinary emergencies.[15] Awards and recognitionIn 2009, Dr. Neil Shaw was featured in People Magazine as a hometown hero in the issue titled, "Hero in Hard Times."[16] In 2010, Darryl Shaw, CEO and Neil Shaw, Chief Medical Officer, received the Ernst & Young Florida Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the services category.
