Who We Are

Paige Farnell, DVM

As a California native and Mill Valley resident, Dr. Farnell began her veterinary journey in early life with animal rescue, volunteerism and working in animal care.  She graduated with distinction from Purdue Veterinary School in 1998. From her early years working in animal hospitals as receptionist, kennel assistant and technical assistant, to later years as associate veterinarian and medical director, her veterinary experiences have led her through numerous veterinary environments throughout the US and abroad.   She is happy to finally be settled in Mill Valley with her husband, two daughters, and standard poodle Jax.

After practicing general veterinary medicine and surgery in clinics for over 24 years Dr. Farnell has decided to explore bringing her skills and love for animals, to her patients, in the most low stress and low fear way…in their homes. Dr. Farnell is passionate about educating clients to enable them to navigate the myriad of choices available to pet parents and helping them to make individualized decisions for their pet’s care that meet their personal values and resources.
