Perky Paws Pet Hospital

I brought three little kittens I rescued in to Perky Paws to make sure they were all healthy and well. Dr. Gleeson made sure each of the little babies was healthy, and even though they had worms, she helped me treat them and figure out a medication to help them get better. They even followed up the next day to make sure they were able to take the medications ok and that they were doing better.THANK YOU PERKY PAWS and DR GLEESON! I have always had pets and this was one of the friendliest places I've ever been. Plus they have clinic cats, which was so cool! Read Less

We will be forever grateful to Dr. Farmer and her staff for the superb care that she provided to our baby girl, Hope. Hope is a rescue dog & is estimated to be about 11 or 12 years old now. She removed 7 very large bladder stones from her and the surgery went great. She also found a mass on her bladder but due to the severe delicate surgery that was required since it could involve her ureters (if damaged, it could prevent her from being able to urinate at all), it would require removal by a Specialist Surgeon. However, she did take a biopsy while she was in there. Her clinic has a wonderful bed side manner & truly cares about their patients; therefore, they called daily to check on Hope. On the 3rd day after surgery when they called to check on her in the morning, we mentioned that she either had swelling or was retaining fluid that had appeared . After the staff member relayed this info to Dr. Farmer, they immediately called us back wanting to see Hope just in case. We took her in and after some tests we discovered that her urine was in her abdomen. This being toxic, Hope wouldn't have lived another 24 hours. Our visit went beyond their Saturday business hours but everyone remained wonderful & never acted put out by it. Dr. Farmer called a Specialist surgeon, collaborated with him & arranged for us to go straight to the Surgical Center because Hope was classified as a medical emergency. We would have never been able to get her in there on our own because the Surgical Center was actually closed & due to the delicate surgery that was needed, Hope had no time to wait. She would've died. It turned out that Hope had a necrotic area on her bladder that was making her urine leak. This was unrelated to Dr. Farmer's surgery & in fact, even the Specialist Surgeon told us that her incision on Hope's bladder by Dr. Farmer looked wonderful & it was already stuck back together and healing. Without her taking us seriously on the follow-up call or her help to get Hope to the Surgical Center outside of their business hours, she would've died. This was not a surgery that just any vet or ER facility could've performed without severe risks. As if all this wasn't enough for us to be forever clients of hers, Hope can be very shy around strangers and because she is so great with Hope and takes that in to consideration, Hope LOVES her & the staff. Dr. Farmer doesn't hesitate to get in the floor, on Hope's level, and love on her, give her treats & even talk sweetly to Hope the same as we would. Read Less

Dr. Farmer & her caring, competent staff are THE BEST. Took care of our baby & helped save her life 2x lasr week. It stuck. She has a FUTURE thanks to these wonderful people. And if she hadn't? Our baby would've needed their living hands and amazing bedside manner.Read Less

The office was nice and friendly . The two stars is for the price. I think they overcharge too much . I spent 500 for a simple urine infection , the same I spent two years ago with another veg to remove a tumor that my dog had. We are going to the vet inside Petco now and it is way more reasonable.

We are new clients for the first time coming to Perky Paws after moving to Texas. The front staff are the most kind and inviting people. We got to meet with the Doctors and the techs, they are very caring when it comes to treating our fur babies. Everything about Perky Paws was amazing while we were there. We will be forever clients at Perky Paws!!! Read Less

It is the greatest place to take your pet's. All 5 of ours go there. The staff is so nice when April our red healer great dane mix got so scared  they sat on the floor and talk to her till she calmed down and did not get upset she was peeing every where. And when our pug Rufus pasted away they sent a card letting us know how sorry they where about his passing.Will not go any where else!!!! Read Less

Dr. Farmer saved our Yorkie after he had an encounter with another dog. We also adopted a rescue and this is the only place she gets out and runs to the door. We get everything from check ups to grooming for years. The staff is always friendly, too.Read Less

This place is the best. The staff makes you feel right at home. Danika and Dr. Farmer are the reason we keep bringing our dogs there. They've watched my dad and I cry our eyes out and talked with us and hugged us after. We have one dog left that will always be coming to perky paws (Nos) Read Less

Exceptional place!!! Staff really cares and Dr. Farmer knows justv what to say to comfort one in their loss of a man's best friend. My Winchester SR., may he rest in piece. I know he is with his sister Annie playing under the rainbow. Thank you Dr. Farmer for caring. Read Less

I could not have asked for a better family of veterinarian medicine. They are all so special and they are genuine in their love and knowledge for our pets. Dr. Farmer so glad we found you, and your kindness with Annie (RIP) was beyond imaginable in her last few months of need. Thank you for all you do and continue to do for our family of Schnauzers.

We moved to the McKinney area about 2 years ago and found Perky Paws due to it's close proximity to our home. We have been using them for routine visits and grooming. About 6 months ago our 10 year old lab started having some problems and recently lost her battle with cancer. My family has been overwhelmingly impressed with Dr. Farmer and her staff. The care and compassion they have shown for our sweet Bailey and our family during the past 6 month has been incredible. We are extremely grateful to have found them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a vetanariy home for your animals. Read Less

Dr. Farmer has been with me and my beagles for 5+ years. She's friendly, knowledgable, and medically skilled, so excellent care is the norm. She's provided stellar service for the simple stuff (vaccinations, annual checkups, etc.), the complex & confusing stuff (managing multiple disease processes including heart disease, chronic allergic bronchitis, and cancer), and everything in between. Highly recommended! Read Less

Dr. Farmer and her staff are amazing! Not only are they really close to where I live, but they are also easy to locate. The office and exam rooms were nice and clean, and the rooms were nice and spacious. I gave them 5 's because they deserve it. I showed up with my sick furry baby ( a.k.a Izzy ) 45 minutes before they closed and the whole staff was caring and understanding ! When you have a sick pet you want the best treatment you can get, our Izzy is like another family member. I felt like the prices weren't too high and they took the time to explain what was needing to be done and why. I can honestly tell you I walked into that office in a panic and left feeling at easy. I had made the right choice in taking Izzy in and better yet I had finally found a business I could trust. I hardly ever leave reviews but this time it is worth it. Thank you Dr. Farmer, Beau, and the lovely staff !!Read Less

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Farmer and her staff have been with caring for our two dogs. Our golden was diagnosed with lymphoma and Dr. Farmer and her staff were on top of everything. They put us in touch for an oncologist and got us in right away. They called to check on Maxie after each chemo treatment and answered all my questions and soothed all my concerns. They were absolutely fantastic. We wouldn't trust anyone else with the care of our "girls". Thank you Dr. Farmer and your wonderful staff. Read Less

UPDATE!!! It is March 29, 2016 and just wanted to update everyone that my dog has been in remission for over 2 years now!!! I can't thank her enough for all her help and guidance!!! My dog is now 7-1/2 years old and wasn't supposed to see her 6th birthday! Thank you again Dr. Farmer and Staff!!! --- This is my original review: Dr. Farmer and staff are the best!!! I have been going to Dr. Farmer for over a year now. When my regular vet was out of town they referred me to Dr. Farmer as I had an emergency situation. They got me in immediately. I decided to continue on with Dr. Farmer as my regular vet was selling her practice and my experience was so good at Perky Paws that I decided to stay. I have worked for a vet in the past and am aware of the workings behind the scenes. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs (when necessary) at the clinic. I am very picky about my vet as I show, breed and compete with my dogs. She recently diagnosed one of my dogs with masses on the spleen and liver and referred me to an internist at a specialty clinic. My girl was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. When the first specialty clinic couldn't get me an appointment with the oncologist for more than 2 weeks, I called Dr. Farmer to see if she could do anything for me. She got me an appointment with another oncologist within 2 hours of asking for her help. I can't thank her enough!!! Because of her help my girl went from having 4-6 weeks to live, to 4 to 6 months (with chemo). She responded to the chemo so well (was in remission after 2 treatments) we are hoping for 6+ months or longer. Dr. Farmer assured me she would be with me every step of the way through this journey and has been. We have now hit the 4 month mark since diagnosis and you can't even tell she has cancer. My girl is my competition agility partner and I was actually given the "okay" to start competing with her again!!! Dr. Farmer and staff have always followed up, listened to me when I am frustrated and been there to help me through the ups and downs. I have always found her and her staff very professional and genuinely caring!!! Read Less

I wouldn't trust anyone but Dr Farmer and Dr Pena with my dogs! They are both so great at what they do. They explain everything in terms that I understand, they both have a clear love of animals and make sure my pets like coming in for the cookies! Thank you Perky PawsRead Less

We have a new doctor for our little girl! Thank you so much Dr. Farmer for everything. I don't think I've ever walked out of a veterinary office with as much information as I did today and we never felt rushed. The staff is so friendly and the office smells so good! Thanks again! Read Less

We love Dr. Farmer and all of the staff! They are so knowledgeable and compassionate. I tend to be uber protective of my babies, but the staff at Perky Paws let's me relax and not worry because I know they always have the best interest of my babies in mind. Read Less

I thought I'd found my dream vet clinic, but got a rude awakening after spending $2480.33 between Dec. 30th and Feb. 13th for annual exams, dental cleanings, and to have 3 tiny lumps removed from one of my three dogs, I took my 3rd dog in for his annual teeth cleaning. I had told them when he had his annual exam a few weeks earlier that he was due his rabies shot, and I did not know exactly when because he was a rescue dog and I couldn't find a record of his last shot in his previous vet's records. Because he tended to yelp when he got shots, I thought he may as well have it when he was asleep, so asked if he could have it when he had his teeth cleaned, and they agreed that would be fine. When I arrived for the dental cleaning, I was kept waiting almost 15 minutes although I was on time and the only person there. When the staff member took me back to a room, I reminded her that my pet needed his rabies vaccination, which I had discussed with both the tech and Dr. Farmer at his annual exam just weeks before. The tech interviewing me before the teeth cleaning told me he'd need another exam before having the shot (a fact that both the tech and Dr. Farmer failed to mention when he had his annual weeks before), so I told her that I'd just take him to PetSmart or somewhere to get the shot, and to just go ahead and clean his teeth, because it seemed ridiculous to pay $49 for another exam a few weeks after he'd just been examined when he was perfectly healthy. She said he couldn't remain there if he didn't have his shot. Apparently, my perfectly healthy house dog who only goes out 3 times a day to relieve himself was too dangerous to stay in their clinic. So, I left and took him immediately to another vet. Apparently, in order to soak me for an additonal $49, they were willing to risk a very good customer who had already spent $2400 at their clinic in 44 days, and was prepared to spend the funds for the 3rd dog's teeth cleaning and rabies vaccination. This clinic looks great on the surface, but watch out for subtle mining for additional dollars. And, I'm not a vet hopper. I was with my first vet from when we moved to this area for 16 years until he sold his practice, and with the next vet for 22 years. Read Less

My sincere thanks to Doctor Farmer and everybody at Perky Paws. They have seen our beloved dog through a series of very tough issues, starting with a severely broken front leg, that had to have surgery. During this particular episode, Doctor Farmer was very accommodating, affectionate towards our dog and incredibly informative. He has recovered fully from this. During this she also found that he had a tell-tale cough, or it was to her, not to us. Ended up he also had Heart worm, and once again, Doctor Farmer and her entire staff continuously went way above and beyond making this tough time, not so tough. He has also recovered fully from the series of medicines he had to go through. Here's the bottom line. Even after all this, our dog still looks forward to seeing Doctor Farmer and her incredible staff. We have a particular box we transport him in, and his tail wags like a airplane propeller when we put him in it. It's pretty tough to bamboozle a dog that has gone through the trauma he certainly has. Thanks Doctor Farmer!!!! Read Less
