All 4 Paws Animal Hospital Total service small animal hospital with full in-house bloodwork equipment and digital x-ray.

Dr. Hilarie Jerauld and Dr. Emily Dorsett met the first day of veterinary school and have been good friends ever since. Despite working in many parts of North Carolina after graduation, they kept in close contact. Drs. Jerauld and Dorsett even worked together at a rescue organization where they realized not only did they work well together, but they had the same practice philosophies. From that initial observation, an idea developed to open a hospital together that reflected these philosophies, where patient and customer care were the main focus. Within a year, All 4 Paws Animal Hospital came to fruition.

We started taking our cat to All 4 Paws when we lived in Apex. When he developed pleural effusion (either cancer or heart failure) and had to be euthanized, the staff at All 4 Paws was so kind. They created a clay cast of his pawprint and sent us a sympathy card. We moved to Holly Springs and tried a different vet but returned to All 4 Paws because they've been so great with our two new cats, the kitten we tried to adopt but re-homed due to FLV, and our newest foster fail dog.

I was so worried he'd be a problem because he has fear aggression but the vet assistant/tech was great with him, and Dr. Dorsett had no problems examining him other than some fear peeing. I was a vet assistant many years ago and really trust Dr. Dorsett and the staff at All 4 Paws. Highly recommend!

Kelly, the secretary and Dr. Dorsett always take great care of my dog! He had a tumor removed last year and after todays wellness visit, was told that all masses are gone! Always such kind, down to earth people and always willing to accommodate any changes in scheduling. EXTREMELY happy with All 4 Paws! Definitely recommend!

We used to bring our beloved Daisy Mae here. Unfortunately she made the great transition after she turned 17 years old. We miss her dearly, but Dr. Emily Dorsett and the staff there provided her with the utmost care. Highly recommend for your beloved four legged family member!

We have 6 year old lab that has been to All 4 Paws since she was a puppy. They have provided her with the best care and supported us through a critical time! We are very grateful for all that they have done for us!

I am grateful to the veterinarian and the entire staff at All. Paws Animal Hospital. They are incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable. I know that my kitty is in good hands with everyone at All 4 Paws. They even take the time to follow up after an appointment. How special is that?! Love them.

We've been taking our 5 year old Lab to All 4 Paws since she was a small puppy. They take wonderful care of her and always call to check on her the day after she receives any type of vaccine or treatment. They give her plenty of hugs and kisses while she's there as well!

Our dog lexi was afraid of going into every other veterinary clinic we brought her to. I would literally have to carry her in and out of the building. After one trip here she became excited to go to the vets. The staff are all very kind and considerate of tight schedules. She recovered from her surgery quickly and was back on her feet in no time. This is clearly as much of a passion for the employees as it is a profession. I won't be taking her anywhere else!

I just received a personalized sympathy card for my 9 year old, much loved Dutch bunny that passed away. I can't begin to describe how I feel. Dr Jaffe looked after my Max through many a troubling time. And Kelsey gave me her number to call her if I ever felt too sad and needed to talk to someone. I only had to mention Max the bunny when I used to call the clinic and they knew who I was.

I have never, ever received this level of caring anywhere before. I felt like my family was going through this with me. Love you guys so much and thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. You're all absolutely amazing. Beyond amazing. Bless you for helping me during this hard time.

All 4 Paws and Dr. Dorsett specifically are the best vet hospital I have ever been to. I used to work at creature Comforts animal hospital and I still brought my own puppy to all four paws because the care there for my fur baby is exceptional. They are a vet that not only genuinely care about the health of your pet, but they also don't try and sell you into anything that's not needed. Dr. Dorsett will give you a straight answer of what your pet needs and will let you know if anything in addition is not necessary.

That's what drew me to this hospital in the first place, I saw many reviews that they are not about money, only about care. My poor puppy hates getting his shots and going to the vet, but the entire staff loves on him every time and makes him feel that he is in a safe place with lots and lots of love. When you have a sick pet they make sure they send you home with clear instructions down to even demonstrating what to do to take care for your pet at home. This is my favorite vet of all time. I moved away and I still drive the distance just to go here. Thanks All 4 paws! Thank you Dr. Dorsett!

The veterinary staff and doctor are very caring and friendly here. My cat is very nervous in the office and always hides behind me and they are nothing but kind and gentle to her. They are always upfront about costs and explain the charges before they do any work. They genuinely care about your furry family member and you. In the lobby they have a mini fridge and snacks which is great for yourself and especially any kids you might bring with you. I’ve had animals all my life and this is the best Veterinary Practice I’ve ever been to. Would highly recommend!

I can not recommend them enough! Their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices seem very fair and comparable, if not better, than other places. Our dog had to have surgery there, and their staff took beyond excellent care of him. Dr. D did a wonderful job on the procedure and everything healed very nicely. They called frequently to check on him during his recovery. We are very pleased with this vet, and highly recommend them!

After establishing my pet at All Four Paws I actually worked a year in another vet hospital, and still kept my own pet at All Four Paws because that was how much I loved the care and treatment of Dr. Emily Dorsett. She takes such good care of my puppy Eli and makes him feel comfortable when he comes in because she knows he's anxious about coming into the doctor's office.

She is so welcoming and addresses any and ever concern I may have. She doesn't try and sell you on services like other places, she simply just educates you on proper care. I have been seeing her for a couple years now and I won't be going anywhere else.

My two dogs have been patients of Dr. D for nearly a year. I first brought them to All 4 Paws when one of my dogs was bitten by a snake and was in bad shape. Dr. D treated him and followed him closely and he was back to normal in less than a month. The staff here is always friendly and wonderful to work with. What I also love is that I am consistently given multiple treatment options and the pros and cons of each are explained to me. The cost of treatment is reasonable, as well.

I have two rabbits and Dr J. is very knowledgeable and super helpful, offering great advice and support. They are accommodating with appointment times and always have quick and SUPER friendly service. You can also tell that they love animals and want to help you take the best care of them. Especially having two rabbits, it's nice knowing that Dr. J. KNOWS what she's doing, you can really tell she has had a lot of experience. They even give my babies treats and snacks while they are there to make it less stressful for them! :) HIGHLY recommend!!!

I have some concerns about the validity of the fecal tests. My puppy kept testing positive for hookworms. The test was positive for hookworms in her DNA. She was finally diagnosed with Larval Leak Syndrome. I spent $250 on fecal tests and meds. After the Larval Leak Syndrome diagnosis, I took her fecal sample to a different vet. The tests results were negative for hookworms.

If you have an issue with worms, get a second opinion before spending a lot of money on tests and meds. I think that All 4 Paws is using a test that is more sensitive than most vets use. On a positive note, the staff is friendly and enthusiastic.

There aren't enough stars to accurately rate All 4 Paws. Dr. Jerauld saw us through the good times and the bad times with our 2 boxers and laid on the floor and cried with us when the end came for 1 of them. No words for the gratitude and confidence we have in her and this staff.

I went to multiple veterinarians prior to finding all 4 paws. Best staff, patient and caring. By far the most reasonable prices in the area. I feel so comfortable bringing my 3 pets here. You can tell the genuinely love animals too. I highly recommend them. I personally worked with Dr Dorsett. 3 other veterinarians could not diagnose my cats isssue.

I spent literally over $2,000 on three other vets. Spent literally $124 including all meds testing etc. If you need a family friendly doctor for your pets. I would certainly give them a try. Even stop in and look at the facility just like I did. They were happy to answer my abundance of questions and show me all of the facility. Thanks again all 4 paws.

I had an amazing experience at All 4 Paws. Everything and every staff member from check in to check out were friendly and welcoming. I have taken both of my cats there this week and they did an excellent job handling them, even the one who was pretty feisty. I saw both Dr. D and Dr. J and couldn't have asked for better service. I was given a tour of the facility on my first visit, and every room was clean. Everyone made sure we were comfortable with the services and pricing before doing anything. By far the best vet experience I've ever had.

Best vet I have ever been to. Very honest, friendly, thorough, capable and good at what they do. After many frustrating visits to other vets to diagnose what was wrong with my cat, Dr. Jerauld was the one that was able to solve the mystery. Now my cat is doing much better.

We just moved to Apex this year and it became time for one of my dogs to get her rabies and distemper. All 4 Paws was a great find, and even better, it's so close to my house that I could walk there. Moving so much, I've been to a few vets now and I've become pretty picky about who I take my furbabies to, but everyone here was awesome.

They were friendly from the moment I walked in and it sounded like there was a sick cat before me, so they were running behind. But they told me right away and explained that they needed to make sure to adequately clean the rooms. In the meanwhile, they were grabbing my dog's history from our previous vet. Once I was brought back, the vet tech did all the vitals and questioning and my dog LOVED her. Then, when the vet arrived, we went through all the vaccinations that needed to be updated and decided on just 2 that were necessary at the time as we weren't planning to put our dog into daycare or boarding anytime soon.

While we were waiting for my dog's tests to complete, I was given a tour of the entire office and was even able to see the surgery suite! It was great seeing their setup. Also, what's even better is that they didn't force me to buy anything. I've been to places where they push insurance, daycare/petsitting places, specific meds.but they asked if I wanted to change anything and when I didn't, they didn't push anything. TL;DR: All 4 Paws is a great place to go for your furbabies. They'll receive lots of love and you'll get the peace of mind that they're being well taken care of. Definitely recommend.

It's easy to see how much these guys really care about our animals. Our first visit here was right after we moved to the area and our beloved 14 year old cat got suddenly very ill. The compassion, honesty, and care that they showed us during a heartbreaking time went above and beyond. We continue to take our other pets here for all of their needs and are constantly impressed with the patience, knowledge, and care they show each animal and pet parent that walks through their doors. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

All Paws is an amazing veterinary hospital. The vets and staff are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. I foster cats and have my own pets and I feel 100% comfortable with all of them in the care of All Paws. The vet techs are so friendly and good with the animals and will keep you well-informed. Even after you're discharged, they're happy to answer questions and follow-up. I always recommend them.

If I could give All 4 Paws more than five stars, I would. Dr. Dorsett, Dr. Jerauld and the staff have provided amazing care for our kitties for the past three years. They are super professional and knowledgeable, always offering kind attention and lots of information, with thorough follow-ups after visits. The office is always bright and spotlessly clean even when busy, and I've always felt comfortable there. If you are looking for compassionate and high-level care, this is the place to go.

The service is great, and the prices are fairly reasonable. The staff cares about you AND your pet, which seems hard to come by now days. They don't seem money-oriented and emphasize meeting the needs of the pet. They have always taken time to answer any questions and address any concerns.you also see a good amount of the Doctor, unlike other clinics where you see the doctor for only a minute or so. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

This vet hospital is amazing - from the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the cleanliness of the exam rooms, I don't think it gets any better than this place! They always follow up after appointments with a phone call, and the doctors send a written report of your visit via email, which is really helpful! They are very upfront with the cost of treatment before administering treatment, which is great.

Cleanest veterinary office I have ever been in. Dr. Dorsett is very thorough with both my dogs, and I never feel like she is rushing through the visit. I am always seen at my scheduled appointment time with minimal waiting. The staff are amazing as well and treat my dogs as if they were their own!
Stephanie Mathis
This veterinary office is immaculate! Incredibly clean. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Dorsett is extremely knowledgeable and has a vast amount of patience for an overprotective dog parent like myself. She took time to explain everything to me and answer all my many questions. The perfect bedside manner you would want for you fur baby.

Just moved from Long Island, NY. I did some research and found this wonderful place! Dr. Dorsett is top notch. We had to say goodbye to our 15 year old Doxie weeks after moving here. The compassion of the entire staff was amazing. We received his ashes back 5 days later in a beautiful wood box. We also received a hand written sympathy card. Each staff member wrote something. They are clean, professional, friendly, and very reasonable!
Sarah P.
Had a great experience here today for my first visit! My cat has a lengthy medical history and gets very stressed at the vet, but the staff members were so kind and gentle. The vet was very thorough with the exam and explanations, and she let me ramble and ask lots of questions. Definitely recommend for your fur kids.
