I don't care what all other posts say about money, if that's your gripe don't own a pet! They saved my best friends life period and I would have paid ANYTHING!!! They treated Hank like he was theirs and called to check in all the time! Remember you get what you pay for! Keep in mind I used to be a vet tech and Hank's surgery was my first visit. I will continue to go there.

I posted a negative review on Far Countr's FB page after an extremely horrible experience. The owner/vet called me at my home to tell me my post was "full of lies". What kind of vet tells you it would cost "millions" to treat your pet?? My belief, like many others I've heard, is that money is the driving force behind this clinic. I also found it highly "co-incidental" that when I opened Far Country's email requesting that I rate "my recent positive experience", my computer's system files were immediately corrupted. Mostly, I will never forget being interrupted (after requesting time alone with my pet following a chaotic and confusing conference with the vet/owner who kept insisting that I didn't trust him because I commented on his pay before service policy) for an additional $295 before putting her down. The initial bill was $557 for X-rays and blood work. I'm still haunted by this visit. It was the worst veterinary experience of my life, and I have had pets my entire life.

Avoid this place like the plague. They do not care about your animal, just about getting your money. The euthanasia of my pet was handled in such an insensitive way that it was mind-boggling. I've used numerous vets over the years and this is the FIRST time I've had bad things to say. Others with whom I've shared my experience told me that they or friends had a similar bad experience with this vet. I was basically made to feel guilty when I declined to have a major surgical procedure done on a dog that was almost 15 years old when my regular vet told me I did the right thing by euthanizing this particular dog.

I had a dog fight at 9 PM on a Sunday night, and knew that Far Country was open so I called ahead to let them know that I was on my way with a dog with several lacerations that needed suturing. I was quickly checked in but then had to wait a half hour to see the vet. The vet tech that I dealt with was not overly friendly, and neither was the veterinarian who was working on my case. I was given an estimate for the treatment of my dog, and thank goodness I was, because I took one look at it and decided to take my dog home and wait until the next morning to have his sutures done at my regular veterinarian. The fees quoted to me were excessive ($650 for the LOW estimate for sedation and sutures??? And $1100 for the high estimate? I had it done at my regular vet for $350) and made me question whether this clinic was more interested in my dog or my dollar. Judging from the treatment I received while I was there, I'd have to guess the latter. I do not recommend this hospital.

They cared for my dog after he at rat poisen., I had no Idea he could get so sick. They took him, acted quickly and started a blood transfussion that saved his life within minutes. I was so afaid he would die befor we could get to anyone that could help, but they were open on saturday and kept an eye on him ll night until I could get him on Sunday. They were GREAT!

Sometimes our interpretation is due to our stress for our family member. I was referred to Far Country by my vet due to the fact that they were ON CALL. I received prompt service, the facility was clean and the staff, incl. DR Collins, were very caring. I am considering changing to this veterinary facility.

I was very disappointed with the service I recieved from the Docs. The staff, you can tell, really cares for the animals. The docs on the other hand, that is a different story.. You can tell she is afraid of the animals, and have no time to hear what the actual problem is. My dog was diagnosed prior to hearing what my concerns are. They seam to be in the business for the money but not to treat animals. They are so overbooked that they wont talk to the owners while in the office, or call you back after a concern. I highly DO NOT recommend this vet, you can get way better service and for a better price somewhere else. I know that they are running a business, but have a little compassion for the animals and owners.
