What can I say besides excellent! It has been almost four years since our fur babies have received care from this office. We unfortunately have had to re-home 2 animals and was worried that the office would not continue to seeing our other animals but they did! After recovering from multiple surgeries we were able to adopt again and the office welcomed them happily. We have surgeries, x-rays and vaccines done. They are caring, educated and welling work with families no matter what kind of background or social status you are. Thank you Dr. Farris and your wonderful team. read more

A great experience! Your pets are treated as family. A kind of compassion and caring that shows by the entire staff. How refreshing!!

They are very caring and knowledgeable and Farris. They are knowledgeable and friendly and the office has a family feel!

No email, no voicemail. You can be the best vet in the world... but it's useless if nobody can get through to your office. Absolutely unacceptable to not have a FREE EMAIL ACCOUNT in 2025... read more

Got genuine care for my cat after the emergency vet tried to charge me $1000+. Will be coming back!

Our puppy needed a spay and also two hernias fixed up and they did an exceptional job with the surgery with a smooth healing. It was also reasonably priced. Thank you for your great service and I recommend you to others. Keep up the great work! read more

One of the best veterinarians around and has been ours since 1989. Great with your pets and is very caring for both you and your fur kiddos. read more

Just a year ago, Murphy was 15.5 lbs, he had a collapsing trachea from being overweight, he had breathing problems and coughed and huffed constantly, and his kidneys were starting to fail. Today, he's 12.1 lbs, has barely any breathing problems, (he's part pug so that's saying a lot) and his kidneys are fine with no meds. This is all because of Farris Veterinary Clinic. We couldn't be more grateful to them for adding potentially years onto our elderly dog's life with a few simple changes from us, for helping him to be comfortable and happy, and STILL get the zoomies - at a minimal cost. read more

Farris Veterinary Clinic - Elderly dog - Veterinarians Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I have been to different veterinary's and none were compassionate and understanding like Dr. Farris he went above and beyond to care for our dog. I wish I would've known of him a long time ago. So blessed to have found this Veterinary. I am going to bring my other dogs to visit him too. Thank you Dr. Farris and team read more

This clinic is so wonderful! The Doctor and staff are so kind and attentive. I feel so blessed to have found such a great clinic

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 after hours to take care of my dog. If you are looking for an honest vet who truly loves animals and is in the business for the right reasons this is the place to go! I drove almost an hour for him and will do so without question for all her follow up care. Thank you Dr Farris and staff!!! Update: if I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!! My dog licked and opened her stitches and they stayed open late to fix her up. Dr Farris even came to my car and carried her in and out. He is so kind and I can tell she truly trusts him. I'm so grateful to him and all of his staff for fixing my dog twice now and their kind, loving hearts. read more

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. read more

Farris Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

our family has been going to Farris Vet Clinic for 30 plus years this is the place for you if you're looking for excellent care for your pet. Dr Farris is a no nonsense it's all about the pet Dr. If you need a boutique clinic it's all about you the owner I would continue on down the road. He is very well versed in all things animal and I think feels way more for the patient then the owner. His prices are comfortable, his front office staff are over the top, I have never been disappointed. I don't know why this says San Francisco as our home. We live in Tacoma. As good as Rich is we wouldn't commute from San Francisco, sorry Rich!! read more

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 read more

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 care in the slightest read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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! -The Ostermiller's read more

I've been taking my pets to Dr. Farris for several years now and have always found him to be professional, efficient, and compassionate. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

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 for a very special part of our family and would recommend him to anyone! read more

I have a loud German Shepherd and the staff was really patient about it. I usually see another vet but they insisted she has a bacterial infection even after 2 weeks of antibiotics treatment with no results and they wanted to continue giving her antibiotics. I didn't believe it was that so I went to get a second opinion. Dr. Farris was really nice and made friends with my doggie which is not easy. He said she is allergic and I gave her Benadryl and she stopped licking. I also paid much much less money. read more

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. Dr. Farris is a skilled practitioner, yet cost-aware. In our latest excursion into pet health problems, he diagnosed our elderly dog with cancer. After doing research online, I asked him a particular cancer treatment. He knew all about the medication, but was up-front enough to tell me that it was expensive, and would require frequent, costly blood work. During the two instances in which we had to put our canine family members "to sleep," staff was very compassionate. I would recommend Dr. Farris and staff to anyone. read more

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's house cats & peacock! read more

Good Dr. He is very professional and has helped our precious animals since 1989. Thank you for making us feel comfortable and giving us your honest advice. read more

Dr. Farris and his staff are the best they truly care about you and your pet. I have recommended him several times and will continue to do so. read more

Both of our dogs are seen here. Farris isn't around the bush, straight to the point, and gets the job done. My in laws have seen him for over 15 years. It's nice that the office doesn't feel like a typical animal hospital and feels like home. What I really respect about Dr. Farris is that he treats our dogs like...Dogs! Not weird little furry humans. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Been taking all of our animals here for 20+ years, best vet you will find and is amazing with all animals and really really knows his stuff. Super reasonably priced compared to cheap crappy vets that don't actually diagnose your animals and follow up on them too usually free of charge for a follow up. I would recommend this place to anyone and do!! read more

Dr. Farris has been our family vet for over 20 years. He's always been kind and made suggestions for the benefit of the pet and not his bottom line. And to address another review that rated him poorly for closing for a couple hours for "lunch" i am sorry you were dealing with a loved pet near the end and having to put a family pet down is always a terrible and stressful time, the reality is that dr Farris does calls to farms etc during those "lunch" hours. So he may not be available and if you need something more immediate during those times taking your pet elsewhere may be the best suggestion. Hope that helps. Great Vet. Better than any chain you will deal with. read more

Best healthcare experience of all time. Dr Ferris saved my cat's life. He's smart, kind and fairly priced. Exceptional !!!!

Dr. Farris is a wonderful Vet with reasonable prices....he doesn't guilt you into things. His staff is friendly. Appointments are easily accessible. Country Vet feel in a beautiful clinic....It's good to go to a vet that has his own pets wondering around the premises (cats, chickens, peacocks). read more

We love taking our two dogs to this vet clinic. We love being able to get in and out quickly. Dr Farris is also very fair and is honest with us. He didn't push xrays on our dog when she was sick and wanted us to wait and see how she was doing over the next 24 hours. She still wasn't eating so we did come back and did take xrays and found nothing. Eventually whatever she had eaten had passed out of her body. But other vet clinics would've pushed all the expensive tests and expensive xrays right off the bat. The staff is also very nice and very easy to work with! read more

Dr. Farris is awesome! I used him for a second opinion for a sick dog and he took great care of her and she was better within a week. He even left meds on the door step for me when I couldn't make it there during the office hours. He is resonably priced, experienced and fast. The whole staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and neighborly. We now use him for both of our dogs needs. read more

We have been clients of Farris vet clinic for the last 10 years. We have two cats and had two dogs. Our oldest dog who was 14 had been having issues lately. My husband called the office telling them he wasn't doing good and possibly would need to be put down but he couldn't get there by the 12:00pm lunch close time possibly. He was told he probably should take our dog elsewhere! We were floored that they would be so heartless to tell him this when we were longstanding customers. We obviously we never take the rest of our animals back not will we recommend them. While we understand hours of operation to close for several hours for lunch is a joke and then to tell a customer to take their dying pet elsewhere because they might be a couple minutes past their lunchtime close is ridiculous. read more

I used to work at an emergency vet clinic and have taken my pets to multiple places since working at that clinic and this is by far the best one I've been to!! The dr. is genuinely concerned about what is best for the animals rather than making loads of money on his customers. He gets your animals in and out quickly and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for an exam. He gives you options for medications (cost vs. variations of meds) and doesn't over medicate your animals. He's honestly the best vet I've ever worked with. Really recommend anyone that lives anywhere close to give him a try. If I ever move again I will make the drive no matter how far!! read more

We have used Dvm. Ferris with our dogs on occasion. I found him to be a knowledgable and very qualified Vetranarian. However, last month my daughter had to put her 3 year old dog down. She rescued the dog as a puppy from people that were abusing him. Unfortunately he had become aggressive and had bitten two people. My daughter was moving away for college and had attempted to find a place that could take him and rehabilitate him. No place was found. I told her that Dvm Ferris was a good vet so she and her fiancé made arrangements to have him put down. Dvm Ferris was aware that the dog had bitten people before they arrived. When they got there he took the dog into the back room, made a comment about them staying for the injection. He then said to the dog "so you don't like people". He drew up the sodium pentathol injected it in his leg and walked out of the room. The dog struggled to breath for nearly two minutes before dying. He gave no sedation and it sounds like he injected muscle instead of a vein. When he returned he appeared surprised my daughter was still there. He commented that the dog was dead before he left the room. Not once did he give any explanation of what he was doing or how the dog would react. Not once did he say a single word of compassion. The one assistant did give them some Kleenex. I have spent nearly 40 years in health care and we ALL are compassionate. My uncle was a vet in Olympia for over 40 years and was a past president for Washington State Veterinarians. I have never seen or heard of a Dvm.that would be so indifferent and show no compassion to a pet owner during this difficult time. Again I find Dvm. Ferris to be a very quaified knowledgable vetranarian BUT has no compassion and would NEVER take a pet to him again. read more
