Amazing staff and always helpful. Had to call the emergency line the other night with a badly breached doe and Dr Thornton was amazing and not only saved to doe but the three kids as well.

If I can give them zero stars I would! Not only were they rude when I tried to book my appointment but then they decided to call me at the time of my appointment and tried to cancel or reschedule for the next week when I had already waited four days for this appointment. I also left my work early to be there so super inconsiderate and rude !! I had already previously asked the price for the visit they told me $100 and ended up billing me $120 I also asked how much the bloodwork would be he quoted me $130 they ended up charging me $150. There were also random charges on the invoice when I had asked them to send it to me I checked. dr. Hardcastle was rude and super quick did not seem like he was not interested after paying $500 for a vet bill . I will never use them again!!!

I have used Sonoma Marin Veterinary for over 22 years, and my family has used them for many more. They used to be a very caring and responsive group of veterinarians. That began to change about 10 years ago or so when one of the owners was in the process of retiring. About 6 months ago, one of my horses was down with a Major colic. I made the call to the vet in the morning and was told that they would not be able to send anyone out that day even on an emergency basis. I ended up calling Cotati large Animal who was able to send someone out very quickly. Sadly, at that point there was not much that could be done for the horse, and we ultimately lost him. I still considered SMV to be our vet, so today, when my 33+ year old horse came up lame, and would not put weight on his right rear leg, and I wanted to get some Butte to see if it would make him comfortable (he is 33 and tired, at this point every day is a blessing and we just want to make him comfortable) I was told that since they had not seen him recently, they would not sell me the butte! They have been this horses vet for 22 Years!! I will never, ever call these people again and I will also NEVER recommend them. Be warned, they appear to be all about the mighty dollar now, and do not care about the animals.

They won't save an animal unless you're going to kill them. They are against veganism- aka saving animals and the planet through ending animal ag. WTF is this speciesist hypocrisy?

They are an amazing service. Dr. Hardcastle is just fantastic. He is skilled in regular dentistry as well as special procedures and his bedside manner is exactly what you want in a vet. My gelding needs a dental at least once a year, if not sooner, and thanks to Dr. Hardcastle I know his teeth will be perfectly in balance. He is very knowledgeable about treatments/medications and my horses have benefited from his care and his ability to coordinate with farriers. Its also reassuring that they are available 24/7 for any emergency

I'm very happy with Sonoma-Marin! Myers came out after business hours to treat our donkey's abscess. He arrived quickly, treated my donkey very kindly, did a beautiful job, and encouraged me to call if I had any questions or concerns. Hardcastle has treated my sick calf and performed a surgical castration on my ram. He did an excellent job and is always pleasant to work with. He is kindhearted and truly cares. Highly recommended. Great vets to have for sanctuary animals.

For the almost ten years that we've used Sonoma Marin Vet for our donkeys we've been impressed by the level of service! Our current vet, Dr. Jim Myers, has a fantastic and gentle manner with our boys and is always informative and willing to spend extra time. It is very obvious that this job is his calling! We've had good experiences with all the vets at Sonoma Marin over the years and appreciate their prompt response during times of emergencies. Highly recommend this practice.

You won't be disappointed with this man. What a good vet. He genuinely cares and helps you with your horse's every need. Such a gentleman and so knowledgeable. And he always gives you more time and never rushes you. Very gentle with the horses and very complete. Great with their dentals. A very caring vet.
