We like to describe our veterinary clinic with the following three attributes

Compassion

This pillar of our pet clinic allows our veterinary team to listen deeply to your questions and concerns. Between our decades of experience and our modern diagnostic equipment, our veterinarians have a knack for getting to the heart of any pet health issue, whether big or small. Our compassionate approach to veterinary medicine ensures you'll be totally at ease when under our veterinary team's care and so will your pet.

Family-oriented

We are a family owned and operated veterinary hospital, with pet health care truly in our DNA! Our animal clinic has been run by the Skaer family for five decades. Our veterinarians and staff continue to improve and optimize our approach to pet health care as time goes. From our origins with founder Dr. William Skaer, to our current owner, Dr. Christen Skaer, our family-oriented approach also extends to you and your pet, as we treat you like family each time you visit.

Excellence

Our commitment to excellence includes continuing education, team meetings to optimize communication, and unparalleled modern veterinary medicine that ultimately creates a standard of excellence at our animal clinic. This standard of pet health care is why we feel so strongly about our AAHA accreditation!
