Literally just got off the phone asking to schedule and the receptionist informed me they’re not accepting new patients but asked me to hold. I waited for 4 minutes & she then asked me if mornings or afternoons were better, I said “well you just told me you’re not accepting new patients and I am, so are you making an exception for me or referring me elsewhere?” She then said “ya we’re not taking new patients, sorry about that.” What?? Why was I placed on hold? Would’ve been nice to have held for at least a referring business accepting new patients. This was a very unprofessional

My dog had somehow managed to pierce his underbelly and made a pool of blood on the floor in the kitchen. I panicked and called a few clinics. They were the only ones that said they would help me.. for that i am in their debt. They said they would be closing but the doctor stuck around late to help my little buddy get back to full health. A few cuts and some stitches and my buddy was back up and running. If I could give them 6 stars I would. Highly recommend them

There is just so many great things about things place.They got me in right away when my 14 y/o cat was losing weight. And an hour later, we had the answer that she had diabetes. He showed me how to give her insulin and to change her food. And the best part, $220 bill!!! No one can beat that! Everyone is funny and so helpful. The whole office has a family vibe

I had an excellent time there. When I arrived, someone came out and checked me in outside. This allowed me to walk Mocha around to make it easy. We went in and I waited about 5 minutes to be seen. Dr. Farris was quick and efficient. He took the time to listen to me. The people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Farris.

Dr. Farris has helped me in 3 separate emergency situations, once when all other emergency vets were "at capacity." He is also our regular vet for our cat and two dogs. He is very skilled at what he does and has a way of making all my pets feel comfortable. His prices are fair, probably the best in this area. The staff consists of wonderful ladies who are welcoming and very helpful. I recommend him to anyone in the area! I hope he never retires

I am so SO thankful for Dr. Farris and his staff!! I had a 6 month old French bulldog with an emergency right before a holiday weekend. Everyone else had a 4-6 hour wait time but they heard my concern and squeezed us in. I was so pleased with his care, the staffs attention, and they even had on site x-rays and medication. And best of all his prices were far better than even my regular vet!! I am so glad I found them and will definitely be continuing his care here.

Best vet I had ever seen, he knows what he's doing and doesn't try tricking you into unnecessary procedures to get more money out of you like other vet clinics! We brought our dog in with an emergency eye problem, they were able to squeeze us in and he took care of the problem right away and made sure we call him over the weekend with updates because he wanted to make sure it all went well!! This is the only place I'll be bringing my animals into!!

We've been coming here with our pets since I was 13 years old. Absolutely love Dr Farris. He's great at what he does. I have my own pets now and have been here off and on with moving from Puyallup to Texas. I'm glad we are back in Puyallup. Everywhere else we lived nd went too wasn't nearly as good as this office. I recommend him to all my friends that have pets. It's very fair pricing and the family is amazing!

I was having an emergency with one of my animals and when I got them in the car and started heading over I called and asked if they would be able to see her the woman on the phone was very rude and immediately told me no they had over a half hour till they closed and it would have taken me about that to get there yet she said they had 3 patients waiting and wouldn't take any more it took me another 15 min of searching and a 20 min drive to get to another vet that was open and my animal died because of it so if you have any kind of emergency stay far far away from here cause they don't

L would stay far away from this place if you value your pets eyes/vision.
Unfortunately we chose Farris because of the short distance from where we moved to. My 4 year old cat was having some discoloration and discomfort in his eye so we took him here where they gave us a steroid drop which helped for the first few days. We took him back for a recheck and it was for the most part getting better. The following day it went right back to bad for his eye. We did continue the use of this drops and came back to Dr. Farris for a 3rd visit to express our concern that we had been using the steroid drops

Can't say anything for this place except that the receptionist did not know their own hours or how to read a calendar. I called Thursday and made an appointment for Saturday at 9:00AM. We showed up and the place is closed! Sign on the door says they are only open on the 2nd and 4th Saturday's. And today was not one of those days. Would've been nice if someone had called me back at some point once they realized their error.

We are so lucky to have found Dr. Farris and his staff. Our poor golden Retriever was hit by a truck and required a very complicated surgery to repair her leg. I appreciated his up front honesty with us regarding the repair and he even went out of his way to get another opinion for us and all of this was without charge. After finding out repair needed for her leg was a far stretch we decided to go with amputation and I wouldn't have taken our dog anywhere else. His kind bedside manner with us and our pup will never be forgotten. His office staff is kind and patient and they all even stayed

I was skeptical about finding a new vet. This is a house that's been turned into a vet, the grounds are kept up well, very pretty. Quaint cute little office. In and out with a rabies shot super fast. Pricing not bad. 62 for the exam and vaccine, I'm happy with that! He also quoted me 150 to remove the skin tag in her eye. Other vets have told me more like 6-700 so I don't think dr. Farris is trying to rip me off by any means.

Dr Farris and his whole clinic is just above and beyond! They are so sweet, it's so comfortable and our little guy just loves going in. We have a Boston Terrier who likes to eat pretty much anything he can grab - when he got into the bathroom garbage, Dr Farris got us right in and took a thorough look and reassured us he was okay (thank goodness!) To our pleasant surprise, he called us the next day - Thanksgiving Day! - to check on our fur baby. He seems to remember us and our crazy wild doggo whenever we come in and just makes the whole experience so easy! I feel 100% confident in his care

Simple; my pets look forward to going to the vet! I am but one of many family members who have done business with the Farris veterinary clinic in Puyallup for decades! We call him "Dr. Richard" (That brings on the wagging tails!) I trust him with the lives of my loved ones and with my pocketbook!!
Dr. Farris and his staff are very loving caring individuals, for each other and for the patients they care for.
I can't say enough about the bedside manner that this kind gentleman has.... He is truly into it for the love of animals!

I really like this place. It's pet AND kid friendly. Dr Farris felt that a "wait and see" approach was the right course of action and sure enough, it was. I got the feeling from other vets I called that they would do an x-ray first ($$$) and that I would be a bad pet owner if I disagreed. If you are looking for a low-key place to bring your pet, give Dr Farris a try. I'm glad I did!

I love the entire Farris family team! They are patient, kind and make you feel welcomed and relaxed.
Dr. Farris took such loving care of my 19-year-old kitty, especially in her final weeks of life. It was a very difficult time for me and I really appreciated his & everyone else's care and concern for me and my best friend.
Going to the vet had always been a super stressful event in the past, but once I found Dr. Farris, our whole experience changed. Now I have 2 new baby kittens and he's welcomed them in with just as much enthusiasm. :)
The property is also awesome with it&apos

We have been taking our dogs to Dr. Farris and his staff since 1996, and I must say that I have always been pleased with the care that he has given our three dogs. He is very knowledgeable, and good at explaining things, yet straight to the point. He has been a good provider and care-giver during various pet ailments: bladder cancer, doggie dementia, a beagle with a bad back, an owie tail from falling out of a tree, skin problems and of course, teeth-cleaning.
