Dr. Brand and her staff are absolutely wonderful! The office is so beautiful and meticulously clean, and the exam rooms are spacious and welcoming! Lyn, Julie, and Mindy were amazing and caring, very friendly, and our new puppy loved them. Dr. Brand did a great exam, voiced her concerns, and sent us home with the appropriate medications, including our monthly heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. The prices are honestly great, and a lot more reasonable than most other clinics we have been to. We're looking forward to our Remy boy growing up with the Richmond staff, and we're confident that he will get top of the line care, and live a long, healthy life! Read Less

Richmond Veterinary Clinic is above and beyond all others in Mchenry County. (trust me, in the last ten years searching, we have finally found our trusted place for our fur baby!)!!!!! Everyone is: Humble, kind, caring, attentive, not pushy, reasonably priced, innovative, and did I mention CARING!!!!?!!! Yup. We feel so blessed that we entered their doors with a new patient since day one!!! They are all amazing and wonderful.!! Read Less

Very caring and helpful staff. They really care about animals, and it shows. Far more thorough than any vet we've ever had. We were looking for a new vet after our last vet missed some developing problems with our German Shepherd. Richmond Veterinary Clinic came highly recommended and, so far, has lived up to our expectations. Read Less

They care about your pet. Good docs, though I prefer two of the three, but each to his own. Have had both canine and feline care and though not inexpensive, I also feel they don't up sell and only ask that you get what is necessary for the health of your pet, at the least most of the time that has been my experience. Read Less

It's never easy to switch doctors for yourself, let alone switching doctors for your fur family, but after a long search and a very HIGH recommendation, we took the plunge and made an appt. We could not be any happier with our experience and the care they took in seeing our dogs. Our tech, Tina, was amazing! Loved on our pups as if they were her own. Dr Fox was very thourough and very helpful in some specialized needs we have for one of our dogs. We feel thankful to have such a kind and caring veternarian team right in our community! Read Less

Outstanding doctors & staff. Cannot say enough about Dr Brand & Dr Fox both are compassionate & very caring people. We have been taking our babies to Richmond vet for almost 10 years & are very happy with the service we've received, they go above & beyond to help during very difficult times & are very attentive to your pets needs. 6+ stars to Richmond Vet doctors & staff!

Went to Richmond Vet Clinic to get some alternative options for nutrition, spay, immunizations, and general wellness for Irie, 1 yr old German Shepherd. Everyone at the clinic was kind and helpful. Vet Tech Tina was very knowledgeable and passionate about the bread, and Dr. Brand was compassionate, and very hands on with her exam. Seems like they truly care about the wellness of your animal! Read Less

Dr. Brand and the staff are absolutely amazing. Always willing to find a way to squeeze you in for urgent issues, proactively advocating for you with the 24 hr vet if necessary, helping you through the difficult times with compassion and expertise, the folks here genuinely care about you and your animal. We continue to be extremely impressed. Read Less

LOVE this clinic! Dr. Fox is great and his staff is very friendly! No one pushed any services on us that were mentioned and they thoroughly explain everything. I received a message 2 weeks later about some negative test results and when I called back, I got to talk with Dr. Fox right away - super friendly! It was cute to hear someone singing to the music playing in the back and they have a parrot (or some chatty bird) that must keep them and the overnight visitors entertained (LOL). It is apparent that they truly love what they do!!! 👍😀. 🐶🐱🐹🐰🐢🐦 Read Less

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brand and her staff. Since the first visit they were always very caring and understanding. I lost my thirteen year old basset to cancer this morning and they went to great lengths to keep Lilly comfortable and gave me all the time I needed to grieve. Definitely glad I found them and will continue to bring my other dog and other fur children there. Read Less

Three years ago I started taking my cats to Dr Brand at Richmond Veterinary Clinic for acupuncture. My Timmy had severe arthritis for a 10 year old cat. He is now 13 and insists on taking his meals on the kitchen counter jumping up and down with no apparent discomfort. Dr Brand and everyone at the clinic treat their clients with compassion and respect. Everyone is caring, friendly, postive and professional. In addition to a holistic approach to my cats' care I was looking fo...r a caring practice not solely a business. I found all of this at Richmond Veterinary Clinic. I drive 45 min each way twice a month and it is worth every minute of that drive to see how amazing my cats feel after their treatment. See more Read Less

Richmond Vet is Phenomenal! We have been bringing our dog to Dr. Brand for a few years and she truly treats him like her own. Her staff is excellent as well. They are so easy to work with and are very accommodating with appointments. Dr. Brand genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. We highly recommend Richmond Vet!!! Read Less

Dr. Brand and her staff are top notch. I have had many foster dogs and my own who are geriatric and she has added months and months of quality of life living to these old dogs. She gave my Scouty 8months to his life through her innovative treatments. She and the staff handle my super shy adopted girl like she was their own. I can’t say enough positive things about Richmond Vet Clinic. Read Less

Worst doctor ever! Brought our family dog of 6 years old had an infection in her uterus. Dr refused to do sugery because we couldn't pay 1000.00 right on the spot. Said we should be grateful she even offered to do it because she has a family at home. Like we where an inconvenience to her day. Well 9 1/2 hours later my poor baby died from toxic shock and they could of saved her life. Worst vet ever.. all they cared about was $$.. this damn country is in shambles because people like them have no true compassion for a loved ones life. My baby would still be here if they would of just had some compassion. Only had to wait till monday for the money but my baby only had hours to live. Karma will come around shame on you all. Read Less

We have taken our dog there for 151/2 years and love the service we have gotten. Dr. Brand has always taken as much time as needed to fully examine and care for Harley our black lab. This pat weekend we unfortunately had to put him to sleep. The care, understanding and patience we received was outstanding. I can't thank Dr. Brand her nurse and staff enough for making our experience the best it could be. There compassion was more than we ever expected. Read Less

My dog is young but rescued from abuse that has done significant damage. He is still fearful but was treated with genuine concern and patience while he got used to the staff. I was thoroughly counseled regarding the treatment options and costs. I had a great vet and will be transferring all 6 of my pets to this great group of people! Read Less

Dr. Brand is one of the most compassionate Vet I've ever had in my experience of owning animals. I also take dogs to other vets with a rescue and can easily compare the difference.She has taken my dog, Chewie under her wing as he's a senior boy now and she also does acupuncture and holistic as well if you choose. Upon moving to the area I was clueless to a vet. I also have to say my other dog was misdiagnosed at my old vet! Dr. Brand ran complete and conclusive tests and diagnosed him with a collapsed trachea. Absolutely opposite of the other vet who diagnosed him with a liver shunt. Years of unnecessary meds, not to mention THE WRONG ONES! I love Richmond Veterinary Clinic! Read Less

Dr. Brand and her staff are some of the kindest, most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. They went so far above and beyond, to help us with our cat smokey, in ways that no other animal clinic would have. They truly care for the pets and the people who own them. The clinic is a bit of a drive from where we live, but I will not ever take my pets anywhere else again. I'm so thankful to have become in touch with Dr. Brand and her clinic, and I don't feel I could ever thank them enough for the ways they helped us! Read Less

Why do i come to you and recommend you? Because all of you really care about my kids. I am one of those holistic fanatics and even though a couple of you are more "traditional", you still respect my values and are willing to listen to what i say and work with me if it is a viable option. Because you do respect my beliefs, i trust you when you say or will have to say one day, Linda, those methods aren't enough or aren't working, we need to go traditional. I give 5 stars because you take the time to teach me what i need to know. When i ask about tests that might be needed, you tell me that at this point in time it is not warranted so save your money. I do not hesitate to recommend you because i have come to trust you. Read Less

We have been going to Richmond Veterinary Clinic for many years now. We love Dr. Kristin Brand & staff! I trust Dr. Brand completely with my dogs and she is always honest with me about everything that is going on. Dr. Brand is great with our dogs & she has a holistic approach of using quality supplements & acupuncture to help heal. Our 2 Golden retrievers got cancer a year apart; Dr. Brand helped us with everything and what we should do and what to expect. We have trusted her with doing acupuncture on our dog, also helping us deal with the process of putting our Golden retrievers down, and recently helped us with our rescue dog Finnley deal with his allergies. Dr. Brand and staff have always been so caring & considerate. I trust them with my furry babies & I highly recommend them!Read Less

Both of my dogs needed surgery and my experiences were so positive. The care was excellent and the surgeries were successful. The doctor was outstanding (to me and my dogs) and the staff was wonderful. We all left both times with a positive experience. I feel I am so fortunate to have such caring veterinarian clinic. I recommend them with five stars!! Read Less

Richmond Veterinary Clinic gets 5 stars for compassion and care. I called them with a very unique, serious need and they were incredibly accommodating. They didn't know me at all and they went above and beyond to meet my needs. They squeezed my appointment into their busy schedule and were thoughtful and patient in the care they gave my very ill dog. From the receptionist, to the technician, to the doctor, all were kind and gentle in their treatment. I have very high standards when it comes to caring for my furry family members and Richmond Veterinary Clinic exceeded all of my expectations. Read Less

My wife just left this clinic, and I am shocked at the dishonesty. While I am all for doing what is best for my pet, I was extremely shocked why presented with the bill. The vet then said "I did what I felt was best for the dog", well it would have been very nice if you would have told me what you were planning to do before hand. The vet took my dog back for an x-ray (note: ONE x-ray was mentioned to us as all that was happening.) Turns out the vet took 5 different x-rays, and charged us for each one..... Only to return and say that she couldn't find anything wrong. How very nice of them to pigeon hole my wife into these costs without disclosing before hand what exactly was being done, then to come back and say they couldn't find anything wrong. I am sure that "nothing" will remain an issue, and we will return for more visits and "treatment". I think we will be searching for a more honest vet. one who cares about the owners pets and not about the money they can gouge the owners for. Shame on you.... Read Less

We recently had to put our Golden Retriever down. I used to take him to another vet in the area and they were always very assembly line feeling. When we came to richmond it was as a new client. they were instantly friendly and had compassion like I had never experienced from a vet. We will be bringing our other animals here from now on. Loosing Ernie was the hardest thing we have experienced in a long while. Thank you all at Richmond for your support and also for the lovely card you sent it meant the world to us. The Bevan FamilyRead Less

Dr Carlino and Olivia were amazing with my lab Ruby ! We came in for ear infection and skin allergy issues . They spent so much time with us and made us feel like we were the only patients there . I am hopeful that we will get Rubys allergies under control with their help and guidance. AWESOME animal clinic! Read Less

Dr. Brand is intelligent, skilled, compassionate and always up to date on the latest information. She takes amazing care of my Tinku and Tillie May! They both have special needs and I am a helicopter Mom - Dr. Brand never lets us down - need I say more? The techs are some of the most skilled we have ever encountered. I am so grateful to have this amazing team to keep my girls healthy and happy! Read Less

I had my first visit yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I went to Dr. Brand because of the alternative medicine/therapies available. All of the staff that I communicated with were pleasant and helpful. Dr. Brand took her time and listened, as well as asked questions to come up with a plan for my collie. AND, I was pleasantly surprised by the cost of the visit. Very reasonable, in my opinion. Read Less

Have gone here since it opened. Grown old with Dr. Pat. Although I am now a Sr. Moved from Richmond, I now live in Mundelein, 40 minutes away. Gone through 3 dogs, and 3 cats with him. I now have 2 dogs. You wont find a more caring vet than Dr. Hourigan. If you love your pets like I do, bring them here. His whole staff and other vets are always very polite and informative. Read Less

We have been taking our beloved pups to Dr. Patrick Hourigan and his staff for well over now 9 years now. We have been together through good times and bad. They make every effort to accomodate any unexpected urgent office visit, and show genuine care and concern for their animal patients and pet ""parents"". Dr. Pat is an very experienced and knowlegeable practitioner, who blends traditional veterinary medicine with alternative medicine, providing a wholistic approach. He provides a wealth of medical information balanced with a common sense perspective, to help pet parents make decisions about their pet's needs. So if you're tired of that impersonal, large clinic type of service, and you like the ""home town"" personal touch from a group of professionals that come to know you and your pets on a much more personal level, I strongly recommend you give Richmond Vet Clinic a try.

We are new to Richmond Vet Clinic. Our beloved Lab was in need of having a tumor removed. We put our trust into Dr. Pat & his staff. Best thing we ever could have done!! =) Dr. Pat & his staff are amazing people!! Our Lab is healing wonderfully & has got a lot of new freinds at the clinic.!! Thanks to Richmond Vet Clinic for giving our baby all your love & quality care, We also thank you for your compassion & support!!

We have been taking our pets to this vet clinic for over 8 years. We recieved this recommendation from our neighbor and couldn't be happier! We feel like we are among friends when we are at the Richmond Vet Clinic. The care they take with our pets (cat and dogs) is amazing! We have been treated with respect and patience whenever we have had questions or concerns. One of the best parts is our pet recieves a ""report card"" at eah visit which helps us know how our pet is doing. We have recommended Richmond Vet Clinic to family and friends. As long as we live in this area, we will never go anywhere else! Read Less

We are so fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Brand and the staff at Richmond Veterinary Clinic. The care we receive for our two dogs, one of whom has special medical needs, is amazing. Dr. Brand is thoughtful, informative, sympathetic, and kind. She takes her time, conducts additional research by consulting with specialists, and follows up with us at every turn. As many animals are, our dogs were a bit wary about visiting the vet when we transfered to Dr. Brand from another clinic, but the staff is so gentle and kind that they do not mind our appointments as much as before. I guess the love and cookies have won them over! We are truly thankful for the staff at Richmond Veterinary Clinic and are so happy to have found such wonderful care. As someone who frequents the vet more often than most, I would recommend them wholeheartedly. Sincerely, Stacy, Jason, Ozzie, and Ellie Read Less

We have been going to Dr. Pat for over 2 years now with our 2 Aussie Lab Mix Rescue Dogs. The staff is wonderful and they show their hearts with the care they give our two boys. But I have to say that Dr. Pat is what I term as an Animals Angel , the care that he gives is personal - not just another person/animal off the street - he truly cares and gives tender loving care each & every time we visit. Our two boys - Frisco & Zeus - are picky about who they trust , they have been wonderful with all the staff at Richmond Clinic , I note that as they can tell when they are truly cared for as animals have a 6th sense about people. Dr. Pat has worked hard at giving Frisco use of his leg back after an ACL injury and I am so grateful to him for that as My Boys are My Family and with Dr. Pats love & care we will have many more years together. We will forever be clients of RVC & will reccomend to anyone that needs a Vet that truly cares ! Thank You All for your great heart & love & care that you give to our Family ! Read Less

I have been going to Richmond Veterinary Clinic for 11 years. They have treated my yellow lab since she was 6months old. Tess have Parvo, and as a puppy, this was very serious. They took extra special care of Tess. Most adult dogs don't survive parvo, and I was told, puppies hardly ever do. Tess made it, with the help of this clinic. After she beat the parvo, she developed numonia. This was our puppy!!! They helped her get over that, and then she stopped using her back legs. After many exrays, we had to go to the University of Madison Vet School, were they found out that the infection from the parvo settled inbetween the disc's of her spine. If it were not for the good sence of the doctors at Richmond Vet, Tess may not have lived. Every year after Tess has been to Only See This Clinic. They took the time to care for our Tess, and it is something I will never forget. Dr. Pat and Staff, thanks again for all you do!!! Sincerely yours, Deb Snow (Tess's Mom) Read Less

Not your average vet hospital. This is a place that puts your animals wellness and mental happiness above any other I have visited. Understanding health from the inside nutrition and balance of its physiological and mental state. Willing to seek a better way and use proven treatment.

February 7, 2011 We've been going to Dr. Pat for over 10 years. Several years ago our Sammy (long-haired Chihuahua) was suffering from a lack of mobility on his hind legs -- after several treaments with no success - he mentioned trying Acupuncture Therapy. The first thing out of my big mouth was - ""are you kidding, do I look like I just fell off a turnip truck!"" He said try it - it really can work -- and the !st treatment on me. Well it did. Sam now almont 11 years old now, runs and jumps around like a puppy. And all to Dr Pat and his wonderful and caring staff. So thanks Dr. Pat from Guy (old grumpy) and Nancy (who thinks you can walk on water. Read Less
