We all sat on the floor with Bear surrounding him with love while photos and videos played on our TV screen and talked about our favorite times with him. Dr Dana did not rush and Bear went to sleep peacefully. She brought a stretcher in and covered him with flowers before taking him to the transport vehicle to be cremated. Please consider this route if anyone is contemplating euthanasia for their pet. I will hopefully be able to do this for my other dog when the time comes. Thank you for everything Gentle Journey

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.

Eric, the owner, took care of us personally and I'm not embarassed to admit that I collapsed in his arms in tears when he showed up with her cremains, nose and paw prints, commemorative decorations, and more. She passed on the 20th and this company goes above and beyond to offer genuine care and services in the aftermath of what can feel like overwhelming grief. Eric and his company are doing God's work. You cannot choose a better company. PS Just realized that all of this care, all of this service was even more above-and-beyond: they didn't have a credit card on file for me and thus I had not paid a dime for anything. I had to reach out to THEM to ask if I'd paid. This is an exceptional company. Truly.

I had sent them a photo for his urn and everything when I scheduled the appointment. When I called to find out what the delay was and they seemed to act as they didn't even know I had an appointment. I scheduled the appointment with the owner Eric Hicks by phone 2 weeks before. The gentleman that I spoke with at the time of appointment was not the owner. He told me they could send someone out now, but luckily my veterinarian was still at my house and was able to take him and have him cremated with them. Shout out to Oakes Animal Hospital in Winston Salem for providing me in home euthanasia and cremation services. They are one of the few veterinary hospitals that provides these services for established clients. I have used Serenity Pet before and even recommended them to my aunt when she had to euthanize her dog. She even used their in home euthanasia services. Which I did not because use, because my dog had a lot of anxiety and was comfortable with his veterinarian. My aunt was very pleased with Serenity services and so was I. I am disappointed that now I am not getting the items that came with the services Serenity offered. You have to understand I was emotionally wrecked and could not wait for 20-30 min for them to come. I'm writing this review mainly because they didn't even seem to care to enough to apologize for the mix up. When they text to use storms as an excuse for not being there. Which would be understandable if they had call, but I got the feeling they weren't coming in the first place. Like my appointment didn't exist. I did text them back to let them know my veterinarian was handling it and I had already told them that when I called. Their response was "Ok". No sorry for the inconvenience on one of the worst days of your life. I have used a few pet crematorium before and have never been treated with so little respect on a already difficult day. I choose Serenity Pet because they are still privately owned. Where everyone I've used in the past is now owned by a corporation. This was a very disappointing experience that I did not expect to have.

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. Nor should it be, you get what you pay for here and it's worth it to send your furry friends off to whatever waits on the other side of life.

I first connected with Loving Kindness to line up the inevitable for my first doggie Jelly. However, knowing the time wasn't quite right for that, with their guidance and excellent vet care, Jelly had more and better quality of life with me. Dr Dahlgren provided excellent care and was available when the going got tough, whether by text or visit and you know things always seem to happen after hours - and having Dr Dahlgren available to advise versus not knowing if a cold show up at some ER was warranted. Along with our primary vet at Betty Baugh's I am confident both Jelly and Boone got amazing care. Emma was visiting monthly and was always able to find the meds Boone needed at the mg best so I didn't have to cut pills etc and when you get a few meds going, it is very very helpful. Gail gave wonderful care with massages and Brandi was gentle and kind on the phone. Dr Dahlgren spent a complete Sunday reassuring me of how to get thru the day, from upping some anti nausea meds to a diet change. I sent pics of things I am sure she has seen before but who wants that diarrhea pic. I just love her and them. I am forever grateful.

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!

They also followed up after with no new exam fees. Even prescribed some new medications and threw in some beneficial food for no extra cost.
