The Purr And Bark Veterinary

First off, what an amazing service Dr Regina offers to N Raleigh residents. Way back in 2010 we needed help with our family dog, Sammy. Our yellow lab had reached the end and we didn’t want to take him anywhere to be put down. We wanted our beloved family member to pass on in the most comfortable way, and to be able to allow him to stay home gave us great comfort because we were heartbroken at the thought of losing him. Not only did Dr Regina offer the exact service we required she offered amazing support during one of the most difficult moments. I’m not one who cries very often, and definitely not one who weeps in front of others. However, with Dr Regina holding my hand as I watched my best buddy fade away … we cried together. I never imagined it would be as difficult to say goodbye to my dog as it was, but her company helped me tremendously. There isn’t a single time that I don’t quietly say thank you every time I see her vehicle pass by on the street. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr Regina for what you do. Our family, and me in particular, will never forget it.

After I found Dr. Regina 10+ years ago, not only did I take my dogs Oscar, Fred and Kevin to her, I was also responsible for bringing her my roommate’s animals: Cody Cat and 2 dogs, Wilma and Maggie. When I had to put my Oscar down, my roommate told me how Regina slung Oscar around disrespectfully when she took him away, but I was too busy wailing and crying to notice. I DID notice that I did not get the engraved plaque I paid extra for that was supposed to come with the wooden box of his cremated remains, but I overlooked it because I was so sad, I didn’t want to think about any of it. I kept returning because she seemed OK enough — sometimes nice, actually. She blew it in a big way today. I got my records from her so I could get my city tags for F & K. Since it didn’t say on Fred’s record whether he was neutered, the revenue office called, and Regina said Fred was not neutered. He was, in fact, neutered — because SHE DID IT. And even if she didn’t remember doing it, last fall during his exam (which was listed on the record) she could have easily seen his missing parts. I mean, it’s pretty obvious. Real thorough exam and recordkeeping, huh? I took it in stride, though, (it was only $ 15 extra) and wrote her a lighthearted message saying to please make a note of his missing stuff next time we were in. I told her we all still loved her. She wrote back a horrible, mean, sarcastic note. I was shocked and hurt, actually, after all these years. She said if I didn’t like her service, I could go somewhere else. Which I am — no problem. I live in Garner now, and her office is all the way up Capital in Raleigh near Wakefield, so it will be easier anyway. My roommate saw her Mrs. Hyde side earlier when she flung around my Oscar, I think. Any questions about her email, I have saved it and will be happy to share. This lady seems to have barely held it together for years, and I think at this point, she’s losing it. Beware,

Dr. Regina made her first visit to my home to see Zhu. Zhu was nervous, but Dr. Regina was very patient. She handled Zhu extremely well. She gave Zhu her rabies update even though it wasn’t due for a few months so Zhu could avoid the stress of a second visit (and as a bonus I assume this saves me money). I’ve definitely found my new vet. Thank you Dr. Regina!

I’ve used Dr Regina for over 7 years to treat my feline kids. One of my kids was sick for several years and Dr Regina made herself available outside of set hours to accommodate my work schedule, additionally, she is BY FAR one of the most caring, thorough and transparent Vets I’ve ever used. When my sick baby passed away earlier this year Dr R took the time to send a hand-​written card even though she hadn’t seen us in roughly 2 years (had to have baby treated at NC State in her last few years). On top of her service she’s also mobile which is SUPER convenient when you have more than 1 – 2 furbabies.

I can’t say enough about our interaction with this vet. Our adopted cat was spayed the day before Easter, and by the next morning she was still very lethargic and not eating or drinking. A representative from the adoption agency told us to contact the doctor, since she provides care for the animals afterward if needed. Despite it being Easter, she had us come to the office, gave her fluids and had us leave her there in case more care was needed. All of this was done as an extension of the spay fee. I was blown away. Dr. Regina is a very caring and compassionate person and I’d definitely recommend her.

Dr. Regina is the best! Not only does she have a mobile service, but her clinic was clean and beautiful. Both my Yorkies had their teeth cleaned and their immunizations. I will definitely refer Dr. Regina to all of my friends.
