My neighbors use Blissful Paws and recommended. We contacted and u fortunately Gov Cooper had issued a close executive order for any non essential businesses due to COVID-19. I did reach out via email and received a quick response that once essential businesses were allowed to open, Boomer would be placed in the rotation. We weren't sure just how long that was going to be, so we attempted to groom Boomers long 3" hair ourselves..not bad, but def not professional. Received a text that a Blissful Paws was okay to start working again,,,,Yay!! Boomer has had spa day twice and he looks awesome each time,,,she does a wonderful job...is friendly, courteous, and knows what she's doing! We feel very very fortunate that our neighbors shared Blissful Paws with us! Highly recommend!!!

I had a voucher to get my dog neutered. They were so incredibly friendly and helpful and I never…read morefelt judged. I called a few closer vets that accepted the voucher but they never called back‍. I called midday and spoke to the tech who told me everything went well and I could pick him up at 3:30. I asked if I could come at 4pm instead because I had to get my daughter from school. It was no issue for them. When I arrived they explained everything to me and gave me his pain medication. And what's super impressive and super important to me is that they brought him back to me without a muzzle! His normal vet is good with him but on a few occasions I had to bring him to an emergency vet where he needed to be muzzled and his previous vet required that also. Idk if my dog just doesn't like a certain temperament of people or if they were just super awesome with him!! It is a drive for me and they are a "smaller" practice but I'm considering transferring my fur boy there because they were amazing with him! They also made sure to tell me that if I had any issues or concerns about his stitches or anything related to the surgery to call and if needed to bring him back in and they also let me know it was a free charge. (Not sure if this was only because I had a voucher or was for everyone who was spayed/neutered) but I super appreciated it! My boy is now comfortably sleeping on the couch at home! Oh, and they had these two adorable cats free roaming inside. They were so cuddly!! My daughter loved petting the one.

For those who may not be aware, Tar River Veterinary Hospital is under new ownership. Our pets have…read morebeen patients there for nearly five years, but that relationship has now come to an end. About 10 days ago, our daughter brought her beloved cat to Tar River Veterinary Hospital for a flea issue. A veterinary technician applied a topical flea treatment during that visit. Yesterday, after continuing to see fleas, our daughter called the office to ask whether a second treatment was necessary. She was told yes and instructed to bring the cat in. When she arrived, a second dose of the same medication was applied. Only after administering the treatment did the technician review the chart and realize the cat had already received the identical medication just nine days earlier--far too soon for another dose. At that point, they quickly washed the application area with Dawn dish soap and instructed her to take the cat home and monitor for signs of overdose, including drooling, seizures, or neurological symptoms. She was told that if any of these occurred, she should take the cat to an emergency veterinarian. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the error, and no offer to keep the cat for observation--despite having just warned her of potentially serious side effects. She was simply sent home to monitor the situation on her own. The following day, my wife went to the clinic seeking an explanation and to express our concerns about how the situation was handled. One would expect the first question to be whether the cat was okay--but that was not the case. This entire experience was extremely stressful and deeply disappointing. It has left us with little confidence in the clinic's attention to detail or concern for patient safety. As a result, we will not be returning.

Do not bring your dog here! I would give this a zero if I could…read more I brought my puppy here yesterday. I was told to drop her off between nine and ten AM which I did. I told them that I DID NOT WANT HER SHAVED and made that very clear. She told me to pick her up at 4:30pm which at the time I thought was an awful long time for them to have her. At 3:15 pm I got a phone call saying that they were running late and to come at 5pm. I arrived at 5pm to be told that my puppy had not been started yet!!! I should have taken her out of there immediately. She did not start her until 6pm when she shaved every hair on her little body all the way down to the skin. She knew that she shaved way to much because she sprayed something on her and told me that I could put neosporin on her to make her more comfortable. She did not care about what I wanted for my puppy. She did not care one ounce about the puppy. My puppy has been uncomfortable all of last night and today. Do not bring your dog to this place.

You could tell more irl that it was cut a bit and had blood smeared. My dog seemed super happy to be there and walked right in through the dog gate to the back. When I was talking to the woman at the register she said that she (my dog) acted like she knew the drill and walked right into her kennel/cage which is incredible because she hates water or baths and usually tries to make a run for it at least she did when we would take her to Petco. Super friendly and helpful staff and extremely reasonable prices ($110 for an XL? dog: mini groom/teeth brushed and clipped nails included)l. My dog is usually between 105-110 lbs). They did SUCH a good job clipping her nails. Even the vets we've seen in the past can't do a good job and sometimes miss nails altogether. They did a wonderful job. Would come back and skip the belly shave. Parking is a loading zone at the front of the shop. It's "downtown" Raleigh but like on the outskirts so it's not too busy and it isn't difficult to get a parking spot if you go in the morning. Drop off is between 8-10am. I dropped her off at 9 and they finished by around 3 (like 2:45 to be exact haha).
