Azure’s extraordinary services made a difficult time easier for our family. She handled the initial consultation and scheduling with a great amount of care, making us comfortable with the process. During her time with our pet, Azure was endlessly patient and offered every opportunity for us to understand and handle the process at our own pace. With respect to the follow-up aspect of her services, Azure continued to be very caring, detail-oriented, and understanding. Azure is very connected to the importance of her services and their meaning to our family. I would strongly recommend Azure to any family with similar needs.DL & NL
On behalf of our family, thank you for your compassion and care during the final moments with our beloved Clutch. You brought a sense of comfort during one of the hardest moments any person can experience. Clutch was our child, our friend, and one of the great loves of our life. His passing in his own home surrounded by his Mom and Dad brought all of us peace. Upon waking the next morning, his physical presence was missed…but his spiritual presence still surrounds us. Walking into the kitchen the morning after, a decorative butterfly on the glass window laid on the floor. Clutch's brother Throttle watched something in the kitchen move from the pantry to the refrigerator–Clutch's favorite spot! And I heard my friend's meow. While we desperately miss him, we know he is in a better place and still watching over us. For you, we are forever thankful. You helped make his transition to his next place a beautiful one. With love,Julia, Mike, & Throttle
First off let me begin by saying that putting a pet down under any circumstance is one of the most heart wrenching decisions a person has to make. My Rottweiler, Lucas, was the closest thing to me. I do not have a family so he truly was my best friend and my baby. He was diagnosed with Bone Cancer at 11 years old and although the vet gave him a few weeks, he fought hard for 3 months. When it came time to make this decision I did some research online, and this is where I found Dr. Azure Holland’s Mobile Veterinary Service. I wasn’t convinced or sure how this process would work or even if it would work for me, but after about 5 minutes on the phone with Dr. Holland I knew that this is the best way for Lucas to go. Dr. Holland was so compassionate and was not quick to say the right choice was to put Lucas down. After taking the time to speak with me she knew I wasn’t ready and she felt like he wasn’t either. That gave me a little more time to prepare myself and she really made me feel confident that I was doing the right thing. About a week later it was time, and through out this week I contacted Dr. Holland and she always took time with me and explained everything that was going on. After a very difficult morning I knew it was time to put him down, the thought of him going through it one more day was heart breaking. Although Dr. Holland had worked all day she came straight to my house and from there is when the presence of Dr. Holland made all the difference in the world. Dr. Holland came in with out any equipment, met all my other dogs and immediately laid with Lucas comforting him and getting to know him. Lucas spent the majority of the time with his head laying on Dr. Hollands lap. This was a strange occurrence because usually with strangers it took him a while to feel safe but it was immediate with Dr. Holland. We told stories, we talked about Dr. Holland’s family and by the end of the night I felt as though she was now a part of my family. When it was tA.M.
Dear Azure, We appreciate the extra touches, it really makes a difference when you are going through something like this, as it helps to ease the pain just a little. It is so nice to have Nya home and we will cherish that box and the paw print forever. Thanks for everything.K.W.
Dear Dr. Holland, Words can not begin to express our appreciation and gratitude for allowing our family the loving and peaceful passing that our wonderful Lucky deserved. Your compassion and thoughtfulness was such a blessing, even Bailey was calmed by your presence. Thank you for leaving a candle in his remembrance, it helped me recall the significance of an “eternal flame” and of all the love and memories we have to cherish forever in our hearts. God Bless,R.L.
I wanted to let you know that only last night were we able to open the box you sent with Scout’s paw prints. This has been much more painful that we anticipated, but we are slowly making it back. It’ll help to have much of our family at our house for Christmas, although Scout will be missed deeply. Your package, and his prints, were beautiful; we will cherish these forever. Thank you so much for the way you took care of our Scout. It really meant a lot to us during one of the saddest days of our lives. We loved him so much, and are so sad that he no longer is with us, but he suffered so much and he needed peace.J.Y.
The bag you brought us is so sweet. Everything you have done related to Laurel’s passing has been dignified and first class. We will certainly pass your name along when anyone we know is facing a similar decision. All of your personal touches have not gone unnoticed-it really makes a difference. Many thanks :)R.D.
We were fortunate to meet Dr. Holland several years ago when she joined the veterinary practice we had been using. It soon became obvious that she was a highly skilled and extremely competent veterinarian. We entrusted the veterinary care of our lifelong friend, companion and family member, Bran. This was an excellent decision both for Bran and us. In addition to being a skilled professional She has excellent communications skills and thoroughly explains your pet’s condition and treatment. Dr. Holland is a caring and compassionate healer and person. She always has the best interests of her patient, your pet, at heart. As Bran aged we had to deal with more complex health issues, Dr. Holland provided skillful analysis diagnosis and treatment plans. Her care, personal attention and professional treatment were responsible for providing Bran with a full, wholesome and enjoyable life for the balance of her 15 years. When the time came for Bran to move on, as her health condition was impacting her quality of life Dr. Holland was there to provide compassionate care, understanding and advice as she employed her skills to assist an old and loving friend make the transition in a serene and peaceful manner. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Holland for all she has done over the years for Bran, Peggy and myself. I would be pleased and proud to recommend Dr. Holland to anyone. She is a rare find.Jack C. – Knightdale, NC
