Acupuncture
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a holistic pain management technique which can provide almost immediate relief to your pet upon implementation. This traditional technique stimulates the nerves in your pet to restore their function and assist with ensuring they are in an optimal state. Often, pets experience rapid relief after receiving this form of therapy.
Anesthesia
Anesthesia
Each anesthetic procedure is customized based on weight, age and a variety of specific factors to ensure that both safe, injectable medications and modern gas are delivered in precise quantities. In our veterinary hospital, our nurses also monitor your pet’s blood pressure, respiration, heart rate, temperature, and oxygenation to further gain a comprehensive view of their health and to ensure there are no complications. Our veterinary team also keeps a record of these diagnostic results, so that we can gain a deeper understanding of pet health trends.
Behavioral Counseling
Behavioral Counseling
Our veterinarians and veterinary staff are proud to work with certified animal trainers who provide a holistic approach to behavioral issues that may be occurring with your pet. Whether this is through socialization techniques, medicine, or consulting that’s completed in conjunction with a medical procedure, behavioral consultation can be an imperative way to improve the life of your pet.
Boarding Services

We welcome you to think of us as a primary care provider for your pet, as we also have strong relationships with ophthalmologists, cardiologists, internal medicine specialists, to ensure that you receive expert pet health care regardless of the procedure.
Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a modern development within veterinary science that can dramatically assist with issues including inflammation, tissue repair, chronic pain, and cell growth in your pet. Our animal clinic performs to dramatically reduce recovery time after a procedure and to help our patients with common issues like arthritis and discomfort. If you’re curious to learn if laser therapy might be appropriate for your pet, just mention this at your next veterinary appointment!
Radiology
Radiology
Modern radiology (X-rays) allows us unparalleled insight into your pet’s health. Whether this is a comprehensive overview of your pet to detect for abnormalities, or it is a digital dental radiograph, this tool helps to ensure we’re delivering precise veterinary care and looking for any abnormalities in your pet along the way.
Routine Wellness Care
Routine Wellness Care
Each moment that you spend with your pet is precious. The moments of downtime you have together, whether playing or just relaxing, makes life richer and more joyful. That’s why we believe in the importance of routine wellness care and visiting us regularly. Our veterinarians recommend that cats and dogs visit our pet clinic at least twice annually.
Routine wellness exams can help to prevent serious conditions including diabetes, heart disease, dental issues and more. Be sure to book your next wellness appointment at our veterinary hospital today!
Veterinary Surgery
Veterinary Surgery
Recent advancements in the realm of veterinary anesthesia and pain control have made surgical procedures easier and safer than ever before. Not only do we work to make sure that you and your pet are as comfortable as possible, but we also customize each pet’s anesthetic regimen based on their unique situation and needs to reduce any risk factors.
Whether it’s routine soft-tissue surgery including spays or neuters, or a more intensive issue, you can rest assured that you’re in the capable hands of veterinarians that have collectively accrued decades of experience performing these procedures.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a non-invasive, low-impact and totally painless way to gain more insight into the health of your pet. The ultrasound is used to create images of soft tissue structures, including but not limited to the kidney, spleen, pancreas, bladder and other organs in the body. Between our state-of-the-art radiology and our ultrasound, you can rest assured that our veterinarians will be able to determine any source of discomfort or abnormality within your pet.
VCP Preventive Care Plans
Veterinary Dentistry
Veterinary Dentistry
Pet dental care is of high importance to our veterinary team because critical health problems like heart and lung disease can stem from untreated oral issues.
Over 80% of oral disease is actually under the gum line and undetectable by the human eye, which is why every pet dental procedure we give consists of a full mouth x-ray.
Routine dental cleanings are essential to managing the tartar that leads to gum disease, but they are also critical because pets can’t communicate their discomfort. If your pet is suffering from tooth or gum pain, our thorough dental exams will catch that.
At Skaer Veterinary Clinic, we are committed to every preventative measure available to prolong the quality time you and your beloved pet have together. Top notch, state-of-the-art dental care is just one of the many ways we do that.
