The groomer is BoSs!!! My baby has never looked better. I must admit I neglected her during the holidays so she was matted. This is the first time a groomer left her beard. Mustache and skirt in tact. That extra $10 charge was well worth my boo looking sweet as ever. Pet Smart should send their groomers to train under your groomer. They scalp our dogs regardless of their condition. Can't wait until our puppies hair grows back so we can take her back to Farmers for a schnauzer cut from a real "PRO!!!" Read Less

5 stars for Dr. Hall.  Zero stars for Kate Lepree.  She was extremely disrespectful to me today.  She said Dr. Hall told my husband that our dog needed a specialist for her back problem.  I called my husband after leaving and told him and he said no such words were spoken to him from Dr. Hall. I was there to pick up anxiety meds for our hours long drive in a few days and I requested my dog's pain med for her recent back/disc problem.  Kate berated me in front of customers and LIED on Dr. Hall.  She changed her story when my husband called her.  She is not a Vet, but she thinks she is.  My husband called her immediately and set her straight.  Kate, you are a receptionist and you should not play Vet.  My daughter used to work with Dr. Hall at another practice.  She spoke very highly of him and she was right.  He's very kind and a good Vet.

I used to love this practice, and was a customer for years. The amazing Dr. Teague, retired and sold his practice to another veterinarian, and patient care, and general service has gone down hill since. After my most recent visit I have decided to move on and find a new vet. I took my 3 year old pitbull Shadow in for a skin rash, was seen by Dr. Dolan, who wanted to put her on 3 different meds, based on what it could be VS. attempting to test to find out what it actually was. A simply skin scrap would tell her if it was mites, she wanted to give her the shot in case it was mites, i declined and asked for the test first. The test showed no mite activity, so i am glad i declined the unnecessary chemicals being administered to my pet. Then she prescribed prednisone in case its allergies, and and antibiotic in case its something else. I went ahead and trusted the medical professional, within 3 days the dog started vomiting and diarrhea all over the house, from the antibiotics upsetting the natural balance of her GI tract, and skin rash was no better. I called an informed them of my troubles, and also informed I was pulling her off meds bc if anything she was worse not better. I received no apology, no follow up call to check in, simply silence.  I put her on probiotics from the vitamin shoppe, and started benedryl a few days later as needed, to treat allergies, shes doing somewhat better, still has skin issues, but benedryl helps a little and doesn't upset her tummy. I really need a vet that tries to treat the source not the symptom, and doesn't immediately prescribe a bunch of things without even diagnosing.  After I called back to complain Dr. Hall (the new owner), did call back, but instead of trying to listen to my concerns in a professional manner he just kept stroking his own ego by telling me what a great practice he owned, and how much better it is now that he took over. Never once an apology the dog was worse, or even concern for her well being. I would have at least expected him to offer a second opinion as the owner of the practice. I also notice how much morale among his office staff has gone down since he took over. No one seems happy with their jobs anymore, and you can feel the chaos when you walk in of the entire staff being overworked. I am so saddened to know what this practice once was, and to see where it is now, in addition to feeling taken advantage of financially after spending over $100 for them to make my dog sicker. I truly do hope this helps someone reading this from getting taken advantage of like me and my dog. Read Less

The staff here is wonderful! The receptionist was very friendly an it was evident her love for animals. The Vet was extremely knowledgable and did a great job explaining everything to us about Niko, our dog. Unfortunately, we had to put Niko to sleep, but the staff was so kind and put no pressure on us to make a decision they thought was best. Since then they have reached out to us, to try to help us through this hard time without our dog of 14 years. This office is wonderful and filled with a staff who really cares about the people and the animals they are working with! Read Less

I wanted to love this vet but unfortunately after our last experience there, I have to leave a one star review and share our experience so that other dog lovers might avoid the same experience. My husband and I took our pup to Farmers for an emergency appointment one afternoon bc she vomitted and we saw traces of blood in it (she hadn't been feeling well and we had an appointment at SPCA clinic for two weeks out). Farmers was able to see us and $500 and multiple tests and a bag of meds later, they said that they didn't know exactly what was wrong but to keep the appointment at the SPCA so they could compare blood tests before and after antibiotics. Over the course of two months we took her to SPCA, to an independent holistic vet and back to SPCA where we were told she needed an ultrasound. We called around to a few places to get quotes for ultrasound- including farmers, this is where is goes downhill. We called on a Saturday and at first were told by the front desk that they didn't have a certified U/S tech but that we could bring our pup in on Monday to get an informal reading. The front desk person told us she'd confirm with vet and call us back. When she called us back her whole demeanor changed. She told me that I needed to do something bc it was unfair to my dog that I was 'dragging my feet on getting her treatment'. I told her that I that the earliest appointment I could find was with River City Vet on Wednesday but that I was still calling around to see if I could find an appointment earlier and to collect pricing bc I had no idea what ultrasounds cost. Actual quotes from the conversation 'It's a Saturday and you couldn't have picked a worse day to call to try to get this info", "You had this dog here back in January and you need to do something for her. You really need to stop dragging your feet". "The vet said she gave you recommendations that you just ignored" (this was untrue, when we left, the vet SPECIFICALLY said go to the SPCA in two weeks and compare blood tests and see if there is an improvement, which we did. I was growing frustrated by this point and asked to leave a message with the vet that she might call me back, perhaps there was a break down in communication happenning, I was told "You absolutley cannot speak to the vet. No way. Do you realize today is a Satuday!?" finally, "The vet said your better off just keeping your appointment at River City on Wednesday instead of coming here. The icing on the cake statement "You know you're going to have to spend money on this dog (errm, excuse me?! My initial appointment with Farmers was $500 and then I'd spent another $120 on meds in the few weeks following, all without having a concrete answer from them as to what was wrong. Over the past three months, we've spend $1800 to finally discover (from River City, who was a GODSEND through this whole expereience) that our girl had an incurable stomach tumor. Im not totally sure why the vets didn't do or suggest an ultrasounds when we FIRST brought her in- we know now that they had a machine there and have the ability to do informal ultrasounds. If they'd suggested it, we would have done it AND who knows what would have happened in they'd been able to tell us back in January what our sweet girl was going through. On a side note, the front desk person gave us some recommendations but passive agressively told us not to go to River City, against her comments and at the recommendation of some trusted pet lovers I know, we went there. They diagnosed our girl, commended us for being persistent in trying to get to the bottom on our girl's health issues and told us that they were committed to working with us to explore whatever direction we decide to go with our pup. Farmer's was hands down the worst vet experience I've had in the 10 years that I've had my sweet girl Millie. The silver lining to this experience that we found River City and they now have a client for life. Read Less

Dr. Teague, and Dr Hall are both great vets. They offer appointments or walk ins. My dog does well with the whole staff. Kate and English are both very nice at the front desk. Can't say enough nice things about this practice. I recommend to anyone that I have a pet convo about. :) Read Less

Amazing, absolutely amazing. I just am floored by how kind, professional, and caring this vet is. I had called multiple vets asking for an appointment because I thought my dog Addie had 2 ear infections and was in pain. Farmer's allowed me to bring her in immediately, they are one of the few (if not only) vets that allow walk-ins. So many vets in the area claim to be compassionate.. but after I informed them that my dog is in pain and I'm pretty desperate.. how is it "compassionate" to turn my dog in pain away and say that new clients are being booked 2 weeks out?! I was greeted by English, she was so friendly, courteous, and thoughtful. She took all of my pup's information and was incredibly personable. Next, I met Kate, she was phenomenal. Not only did she give my dogs so much praise and love, but she was so sweet and talked to my mom in the waiting room about Richmond (I'm brand new from California). Dustin was great with Addie, he got down on her level and made sure she was comfortable with him. He gave her treats and after that she loved him! Dr. Pall was outstanding, he was so kind and you can tell he really has a passion for animals and cares about their health and wellbeing. He truly is compassionate and he was able to teach me tips and tricks regarding best practices to take care of my fur children. He was reassuring and didn't push for me to buy anything I didn't need, which is rare to find in a vet (in my opinion anyways). So, I more than highly recommend this veterinary office where high quality care is combined with compassionate service. After moving from California I am happy to report that my mind is at complete ease knowing I have a great place to take my dogs. Read Less

Six cats with all different personalities from calm to almost feral. They returned from their annual vaccs and exams so gently treated and untramitized. Like nothing happened at all. That's a sign of caring I appreciate. Animals are great judges of character. Thats why I'm always impressed by the treatment my pets receive at Farmers. Read Less

I just got charged 190 to have my dog's ear looked at and get a flea pill. I understand that the flea pill was 69 but the other charges were ridiculous. All the vet did was take a swab of ear goo and look at it under a microscope and say it was yeast, like I already guessed it was. He gave me some spray for his itchy paws which was 35 bucks and that's it. 190 bucks. Get out of here. I had my last dog's rear leg amputated for 500. 190 for today's visit was ridiculous. Read Less

Dr's Teague and Hall have looked after my Gigi for several years. They are very thorough and caring. The support staff always greet us like we are members of the Farmers Veterinary family. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a caring vet service. Read Less

Dr Tegue and Dr Jason Hall's ability to work with animals and their humans is right up there at the top: kind to all, professional and very short wait time. We took our cats in today to have them microchipped for safety; everything was explained well to the humans, cats were treated gently and quickly, and the staff kept us moving in right direcltion. The quality of care and price are truly worth the visit. We highly recommend you take your fur babies to Farmers Veterinary Hospital, especially if you don't have an appointment, you can get in and see them that day!:) thank you!!!! Read Less

Love Dr. Teague. He helped us when we adopted our puppy, who ended up having issue after issue in our first few months together. He was always patient, made our pup feel secure, and explained everything until I understood (and put up with my somewhat superfluous questions!). Would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

First I would like to say my dogs had come here a few times before. One of them even had surgery here 5 years back. I had called Farmers a few weeks back inquiring about how much it cost to have a dog put down (my 13 year old Rotti was having a hard time) with group cremation I was told $80 because I was already established there. On Tuesday I called again because we were going to take him in that morning, I asked for a quote again just to double check. The receptionist calls me back and tells me $284!! I ended up taking him to the 24 hour emergency Dogwood Vet on Broad St. $125.50 and the vet tech took a clay mold paw print from my old man and put his name on it for me as a gift. It was pretty nice. Read Less
