They will relieve your suffering and relieve your pet's suffering. Very kind and very gentle and very respectful. My pet was euthanized on Nov 11, 2025. The Doctor who came to the house was gentle, kind and respectful. She arrived in a small car and on time. Very peaceful and nothing scary about her. My pet was euthanized with a peaceful injection by a doctor who made my pet feel comfortable and not afraid. Also relevant is the employee who scheduled the appointment was very helpful and provided much needed therapy for me as I phoned the business number to schedule an appointment. It was an emotional conversation for me and she was pleasant, professional and pleasing. I appreciate her too. I have other pets and I definitely will use Azure Holland service again when the time comes. I hope this helps somebody. It will not be fun. You and your family will feel better.

There was a two week turnaround after the vet visit because of our aggressive the tumor was. Lap of Love was able to schedule us quickly. This was July 2021 so the delta variant of COVID was happening and we were concerned we wouldn't be able to do this at our home. Fortunately, we were and we had a nice set up on our screened in back porch. There was no rush and we were able to share a few stories before it was time to say goodbye. It's not cheap.

This is a call I never wanted to make. My sweet Brutus had taken the turn I have been fearing for…read moresome time. He went downhill very quickly. I knew I didn't want to take him to the vet to say goodbye, because I knew it would add to his stress. I avoided making this call through most of the day, but by the afternoon, I knew I couldn't put it off any longer. I called Dr Dahlgren and she picked up right away. She was able to come that afternoon, which was a tremendous relief because I didn't think Brutus' suffering could go on much longer. She was gentle, respectful, caring, and informed me of what could happen every step of the process. I was able to say goodbye in the comfort of my own home and I was able to keep Brutus as comfortable as I knew how. Thank you Dr Dahlgren for making my loss as bearable as possible.

While visiting from out of town I needed a vet for my dog as he had started throwing up and I could…read morenot do anything to help him. I called 4 vets and no one could get me in and I was trying to avoid going to an emergency vet due to the expense. When I called Swift Creek the person I spoke with said they were pretty booked but that she would see what they could do for me and my dog. She came back in a couple of minutes and said they could get me if I could come in soon. I drove Buu straight there and they got us in. There was nothing serious but they gave him an injection that really helped him. He slept through the night and the next day no more vomiting. The price was a lot less than an ER vet. These people really care and they understood how important my Buu is to me! You deserve that kind of care and so does your pet! If I am ever back in Raleigh, I will find a reason to drop in!

If you have a pet who has a hard time at the vet, this is probably not a good fit for you. My dog…read morehas been a patient here for almost 4 years. He's recently developed some anxiety around vet visits, as a lot of pets do, but, with a little encouragement from me and the staff, he is usually able to make it through his visits and be fine. Unfortunately during our past couple appointments, the vet seemed to have very little time or patience for him, creating a stressful and unproductive experience for me and my dog. I understand that everyone has a job to do, but I'd rather take my baby somewhere with vets who are happy and willing to take the little bit of extra time to give him the care he needs and try to create a better experience for him. Sedatives are great for pets having a hard time, but I was made to feel like they wanted to sedate my pet as to not have to spend any amount of time making him feel comfortable and safe.

I have used Camp…read moreBow Wow for two years for boarding, prior minor incidents...however, this last stay he was there for 8 days.... when I picked him up (545pm Saturday July 6th) he seemed ok, when I got home and I inspected his neck...he had severe skin irritation and his hair was clumped like dread locks...nobody did anything to help my dog likely his entire stay. In addition he also had an infection on his front paw (claw) ...that needed medical attention from his vet. While this was not life threatening, I had to wait til Monday to see a Vet. Needless to say, we will never return and I hope their careless ownership and management staff learns a valuable lesson. They took no responsibility and hid behind the waiver I signed. Oh, $55 a day for My dog to be ignored and thrown in a kennel. Heading back to Biscuit Garden or Green Level Kennel and planning his boarding well in advance. Cody is a Golden Retriever who is 100lbs and a gentle giant always happy to see people. I will not post the response from Camp Bow Wow because the assistant manager did apologize but otherwise offered nothing, I asked them to refund his $117 vet bill and they declined...but I will say that their ownership took no responsibility and claimed they were un reachable for a family emergency...awful convenient...I wonder how many times they use that excuse?? Stay Away if you love your pet.
