They were able to get my cat in for a sick visit. They were very accommodating and I felt they genuinely cared about his welfare.

After visiting two other vets, the vet was able to treat and relieve my dog Spud's skin issues. They work within your budget which is just amazing. Spud is feeling relieved too that we found a good vet who cares.

My dog Biggie is a new patient here and his first experience with his teeth cleaning was great. Hes not an easy dog to handle by any means and they did such a good job. His teeth look great and everyone that worked there was so knowledgeable and kind.

I would Not recommend this vet to anyone. I've spent over 5k in three months in poor quality insight and service only to find out the Dr's here are poorly qualified to do any actual major surgeries. My dog is still sick and now I'm out of a lot of money and precious time only to have to start from scratch at a completely new vet. Save the health of your animal and take them any where else. I would be more than happy to share my experience to anyone even remotely on the fence about using them reply with your email and I will get in touch.

I was having issues with my an abrasion on my dogs paw pad. It was not healing and we had issues figuring out what the problem was. I took my dog to Skippack Vet as a new customer and for second opinion. They provided clear explanation of treatment options as well as several different routes we could take to get it figured out. We tried first to save the toe by treating and wrapping it but it ultimately did not heal. We then had to amputate due to cancer in that toe. During this time I had to go back to the office several times a week for bandages changes. Skippack was accommodating of my works
