    If you're wanting some outdoor time and see some animals - welp its worth it. The whole walk…read morethrough will take about 1-2 hours and they do have the "petting" part towards the end of it. The employees that are doing that are gifted, very patent and kind! Its not super expensive and they do have food for purchase. I can say that its not a massive zoo and some of the enclosures are a little sad to see but there isn't much to do area jville so def recommend visiting here!

    I was a little hesitant to visit Lynnwood Park Zoo at first because the pictures I saw online and…read morereviews I have read made it seem a bit run-down--but I'm so glad we decided to go. I was completely wrong! This zoo is nestled in the woods, giving the animal exhibits a much more natural, peaceful feel. It really seems like the animals are in an environment that's closer to their natural habitat. One of the highlights of our visit was a staff member who let us interact with some of the animals--my kids got to hold a snake, a lizard, and even a big tortoise. He was super knowledgeable and shared all kinds of fun facts about the animals. It was definitely my kids' favorite part of the trip! The only thing I would suggest is updating the exhibit signs. Some of them are worn out and could really use some color photos and clearer information to help visitors learn more about the animals. Overall, a great experience that far exceeded our expectations!

I will never go back and anyone else that request I will tell my story. I was able to take my pup to his regular doc and he had bad allergies. So took care of him.

Everyone was…read morepolite and welcoming, however, the vet barely did an exam, simply looked at her briefly, asked a few questions, and just shrugged off her severe, explosive diarrhea basically saying it was because we gave her a different flavor of food. While I agree that might've caused a mild upset stomach, my cat was having pure liquid, extreme diarrhea for 4+ days, which I knew wasn't normal. We were told at our appointment (on Friday afternoon) they would call/email with her fecal test results on Monday or Tuesday. It's now Tuesday evening with no contact so we called to inquire and were told actually the vet isn't there until Thursday so he'll look at it then. Meanwhile my poor cat is leaking diarrhea all over the entire house with a red, raw backside (not to get too graphic). When we said this they begrudgingly told us they could get someone else to look at it tomorrow, but I still feel that's unacceptable. They shrugged off our concerns, gave her some OTC probiotics which I feel only made it worse, and now are taking their sweet time with her test results, all after charging us $200!!! I wouldn't recommend bringing your pet here, it's not worth the money or time.

    First off if you read the one or two bad reviews on Google or on Facebook I want you to remember…read morethat Mr. Kevin is a Marine..... he is too the point and can off brash but it it for your benefit to keep you on track and means nothing but empathy and respect. Ignore those reviews because they are amazing! Ok down to business, I can not thank Mr. Kevin enough for the ease that he helped us with the the passing of our bud Spud. Spud passed on the weekend during a terrible storm that hit Carteret county. Mr. Kevin offered to drive to our farm ( Millcreek) to pick up my baby. I was worried about safety so we all agreed to meet first thing that next morning morning at Sacred paws. We drove down to the small private office and cemetery on the property and I was stuck by the fact that it was just as our fatm. ( County, rural out of the way and quite just as Spud knew in life) The office was clean and amazingly organized with plenty to choose from from urns besides the ones that he provides for free. Being a Marine family and totally organized ourselves ( I have Ocd) I had already shown my husband the urns on website and he choose the one he wanted. The process was seamless from that point on and he could read the difficulty I was having ( Spud was almost 16 and our original baby) . He made sure a nice soft bed was on the cart with a pretty afghan to cover. He gave me so much time to say goodbye and also allowed us to have Spuds favorite blanket and his Sheep ( Lambikins) cremated alongside him. ( Two other place had said no so screw them.) Mr. Kevin talked to us for a bit and made sure we knew the expected turnaround time ( 1 to 2 days at most such we got there first thing) . Next day he called and my baby was ready! At pickup he made sure to talk to us some more and that we were totally happy with everything. His urn is beautiful and perfect and the sweet touches of many extra paw prints and the letter meant so much to us at this time. That being said we are a Marine family and over the last 20 years we have had 5 of our beloved babies cremated into two other states.......Sacred paws is the first time I did not feel as if we were just a paycheck for the service. If you go expecting a funeral home, sorry you willl be disappointed. However if you want that personal touch of a family that honestly cares, these are the most understanding people to deal with. We are now in NC permanently and will continue to use them until we ourselves leave this world. Marines understand Marines and the way we deal with loss. To have someone else understand you makes ghe world of difference. Thank you Mr. Kevin for everything again. Spuds family The Olson/ Bells

My lab has major separation anxiety and my shepherd is very dog reactive to anyone who isn't her brother. So you can imagine how sick to my stomach I was to leave them behind, let alone with a stranger in a strange place. I was worried they'd feel abandoned. Would they care for my babies the way I do at home? Are they out for my money expensive? Where do I even take them? Cue my friends referral to Buddies! Great staff treats my dogs like family More than fair pricing multiple locations within the area daily photo updates of my dogs on FB expectations exceeded! I was able to watch my dogs have an absolute blast with the staff at buddies throught their pixtures on Facebook! Running around, playing! Not cowering in fear or aggression like I was worried about. When we came back to pick them up, they slept the whole drive home! It was like they were at "kids camp" and were all tuckered out! Thank you Buddies! We'll definitely be back and my dogs can't wait!

    PetSmart Grooming Department Review:…read more We have a 10-month-old GSP. I've brought him in a few times in the past and have always had wonderful experiences. They told me he did amazing, and I left feeling confident and happy. Today was completely different. I booked with a groomer named Regina for a bath and brush with a nail grind add-on. We usually bathe him at home, but with the dry weather causing dandruff and a beach day full of sand, I decided to bring him in for a good cleaning. The appointment was supposed to be a 60-minute service. An hour and a half went by with no update. I called the grooming area and was told he was finishing kennel drying. I was extremely confused because I paid for the blower service. I asked if all his other services were done, and she confirmed yes -- he was just drying. I told her I would come in to get him, and I immediately felt off with the vibe on the phone. There was a little bit of pushback about me coming in while he was still drying. I paid at checkout and went back to get my dog. He was sitting there waiting. She asked if he looked good to me, and immediately I noticed a ton of shedding. I said out loud, "Wow, he must be stressed out given all this shedding," because this level of shedding only ever happens when we travel long distances. It has never happened with grooming before. It honestly looked like he wasn't brushed. She responded with, "He's definitely got GSP energy," completely straight-faced and without acknowledging what I said about him looking stressed or the excessive loose hair everywhere. As she was saying that, his back paw caught my eye. I focused on it and noticed the fur wasn't trimmed around the paw, and there was a red tint coming from his toe. I immediately knew it was blood. I looked at her and said, "Is that it?" She confirmed yes. I said thank you and walked out slightly upset with the lack of communication. I should have examined it right there, but I just wanted to get him outside because he was obviously distressed from the experience. Once I loaded him into the back of my car, I looked closer. His nail was still actively bleeding. This was over 30 minutes after the service had supposedly been completed while he was "drying." The quick was cut far back -- so far back that I could see the raw center inside of his nail. I felt awful. I trusted this groomer to take care of my dog, and that was not the case today. Nothing was said about the nail. Nothing was mentioned about how he did. No communication at all -- which is the complete opposite of every other experience I've had there. Accidents happen. I understand that. But not saying anything about it? Not acknowledging it? Letting me walk out without explaining that my dog's nail had been cut that far back and was bleeding? That is what upset me the most. The appointment ran late and was blamed on drying, but honestly it felt like they were waiting for the bleeding to stop so it would go unnoticed. I am extremely unhappy with this grooming session. I've had great experiences here before, but I do not recommend booking with Regina. The interaction felt cold, dismissive, and uncaring, and my dog left stressed and injured.

    Great place to buy dog food and toys. They have a puppy training class that I hear is great!!read more
