DIGGER AND I LOVE, LOVE RUNAWAY FARM!!! . I THINK DR. KISTLER AND HIS STAFF HANDLE MY DOG FINE. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH DR. K. YEAH, HE IS A BIT ROUGH, EDGY BUT HE IS AN HONEST DOCTOR AND TELLS IT LIKE IT IS WITH NO EMOTION ATTACHED TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR ANIMAL. IN OTHER WORDS HE IS NOT RAKING YOU OVER BECAUSE YOUR ANIMAL IS ILL LIKE OTHER HOSPITALS WOULD. HE IS NOT HOLDING YOUR HAND FOR EVERYTHING YOU GOT. DR. KISTLER IS LOOKING AT THE QUALITY OF YOUR ANIMALS LIFE AND THAT IS WHAT MATTERS, SO YES HE IS CARING. HIS STAFF IS GREAT! KEPT ME UPDATED ON DIGGER. DID MY DOG LIKE THE DOC, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VISIT HE LOVED THE DOC AND STAFF BUT THE NEXT DAY AFTER HE PULLED 9 TEETH OUT DR. K IS THE LAST PERSON DIGGER WANTED TO SEE, LOL, RIGHT. TILL THE NEXT VISIT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUNAWAY FARM TO ALL!

Dr.Kistler lacks compassion and empathy. Im not really sure why he is in the profession he is. When he was my Vet he gave up very quickly on the health of my cats or made fast assumptions that with a second opinion turned out to be very wrong. By all of the diagnoses he gave several of my cats they would have been dead within months but with little or in some cases no treatment from another Vet they all lived for many years. Dr. Kistler bluntly said that one of my cats "...will be dead in a few months. Enjoy her while you can". He is verbally abusive to his employees and I have witnessed his lack of compassion to a hurt employee and his only concern was what it would cost him. He is unprofessional to say the least and I do not trust his medical judgement.

I only gave this place a one star JUST BECAUSE I cant give it any less!! Its Dr. Kistler I cant stand!! The techs were wonderful but Dr. Kistler was unprofessional, rude, condescending to both his employees AND customers. I came in with my friend with her lab for a check up, and the lab was obviously already afraid of the visit. It didnt help when Dr. Kistler (who I believe may have been under the influence), grabbed her by the collar and just about DRAGGED her into the room! She was coming with my friend when she coaxed her, but he became rudely impatient and claimed that she had no idea what she was doing! If we hadnt driven the distance to get there, I wouldnt have spent one more minute listening to Dr. Kistlers pompous air!

This place is a house of horrors. Dr. Kistler pinned my dog to the floor to take his temperature after only having had ACL repair 1 week prior. My dog cried out in pain. He was thrashing around and started to urinate all over the place. Dr. Kistler did not let go until I got down on the floor and told him to let go of my dog. He then proceeded to go off on a tangent about how Im not doing whats best for my dog and that dogs need to learn to submit to humans. My dog has NEVER given myself or any member of my family any problems EVER. Needless to say I left in tears and will never be going back there again.

I had seen both vets there. On 2 totally different occasions. Both were wonderful. First visit was with my ferret For routine rabies shot. And had a lovely experience. Second trip was an emergency sick visit w a very ill Rescue cat whom the "rescue" allowed to have an upper respiratory infection for well over a month. So bad she smelled terrible. Within 2 days I seen a significant change she was so much better. And that gentleman was excellent w her as well very loving caring man. So all these bad experiences arent all that this place is. I love this place I intend to go back.

My dog, Miley, is there 5 days a week, for doggie day care. She loves going there. Tasha, their teacher :), is wonderful with her fur students. If she sees or notices something about your dog, she contacts you. She also takes pictures and posts them on Facebook, just so you can see your fur baby enjoying their day. Then, you have the staff that works in the vet office and the store. All very patient with your questions and concerns. Then you have the docs. Wonderful individuals. I always recommend that anyone who has a pet to go check them out. You certainly wont be disappointed.

Runaway farms is the best !!! My boyfriend and I have had animals all of our lives. Never one of "our own". Though we attended vet visits with our parents, wed never taken an animal by ourselves. We got our first dog together, and after a lot searching, got recommended to runaway farm. The vet was FANTASTIC! Everyone there was friendly. The vet took the time to get to know our "little girl" and gain her trust before beginning the exam and all. The barn bucks they give out are great too! Definitely recommend this place !

I started taking my dogs, cat, and rabbit here for veterinary care and boarding 12 years ago when we moved to the area. I have complete confidence in Dr. Kistler and his staff whether were there for routine visits or something more serious. They are knowledgeable, professional, and my dogs love them:) They offer evening and weekend hours which is very convenient. I prefer to take my dogs with me on vacation but if thats not possible I know that they will be well-cared for at Runaway Farm.

HORRIBLE! This lunatic almost killed a cairn terrier of ours TWICE! The poor thing was peeing out his sutures through his abdomin! Twice this happened, AND the high quality vet that we took him too had nothing to say at all - but gave us a eye-roll look and knowing nod when we mentioned who had done this! This operation that was twice terribly done resulted in a forced complete refund of the $1600 or so dollars that we paid. NEVER GO THERE OR YOUR PET COULD BE D-E-A-D IN NO TIME!

There is no one who cares more about your dog than this vet. Level of care is beyond just the diagnosis and treatment, They are amazing. Staff and especially my doc, they all take into consideration the feelings of you and your pet. it too late? I made an awesome salad, lol?

Runaway in the right term, runaway as far as you can from this place before they kill your pet just like they did to mine... With an over dose of anesthesia.... ANIMAL KILLERS!
