I just had my first initial intake appointment with Skaer and had a wonderful experience! They thoughtfully listened as I gave my dogs history, asked questions, and were very positive! They offered me a suggested list of services but I didn’t feel any pressure at all do do more than I originally brought her in for. They gave me tons of pamphlets… and information to read, as well as a new measuring cup. They were supportive and non-judge mental. They took care of my dog really well and I felt confident when they took her inside by herself. It was reasonably priced and I’m excited

I had a stray kitty show up at my house who was pretty sick. I wanted to get him in to a vet quickly and luckily Skaer was able to fit me in on the same day. He ended up being very ill and needing to be euthanized. I had gotten very attached to him in his time with me and every single person in this office went above and beyond to not only ensure… he was kept comfortable but that I was kept up to date every step of the way. I really appreciate the compassion they showed the kitty not to mention myself. It was a really rough decision and they made it bearable.

Very patient and kind. Updated thru the entire process and they are very understanding about nervous pet parents during this time where you can’t be with your fur babies during the exam because of Covid. I’m… extremely grateful for the whole crew that saw my boy Apollo today! Danielle was absolutely a joy to speak with and I’m thankful for her patience as well as the others who worked with him as my boy can be quite the hyper handful!

They are the best vet you will ever find. I have taken 4 dogs to them over the course of 20 years and they care so much for your animals. I wouldn't trust anybody but Dr. Skaer, the other drs and her staff with my little doggies. Highly recommend and they will have my business for ever!

I can't say enough how great the vets are here. they didn't view our emmi as a dog and they treated her like a part of the family. I will never take any of our animals anywhere else

Was nervous about starting a new vet and doing curbside, but the ladies here were so amazingly sweet and took very good care of our furbaby!! And then they called a couple days later to see how our pup was doing. Great Service!!

Wow. What can I even say... these people are PROS. They made my Max feel safe and secured while running all kinds of blood work and getting samples of his skin. Kept him distracted and even kept my price as low as they could. Such nice and caring staff. They practice fear free care so if your baby is scared they give the option to sedate. They don't want the animal to be stressed or scared in their care.

I work out of town a lot so I'm always looking for a good veterinary clinic for my two 2 1/2 pound teacup yorkies that travel with me. As luck would have it on my way out of the hotel the staff wanted to see my dogs. My male started chewing on his leash and gotten it stuck between his back teeth. We had to make an emergency trip to the vet to remove it. These guys were great! They were courteous and prompt and I was on my way. If I remember right it was around $39 or so.

We can't say enough good things about the doctors and staff. They have provided excellent care to our Wheaten Terriers through some very serious issues over the last 13 years and for our Labrador for many years before that! We might even say they performed miracles!! The staff are terrific, helpful, and kind.

I’ve brought my pets here for years, going back to the Dr. Bill days. Some of the most compassionate, loving people you will ever come across. They have always taken great care of my fur babies and when their time was over helped me with their loss. 🥰

The best Veterinary clinic in Wichita. I know, I've tried several. Some people think they're more expensive, but actually they are more thorough. In fact, they caught a type of bladder tumor in my little Norwich Terrier that K-State had never successfully removed because there are so few symptoms that it usually kills dogs before anyone notices it. That was about 1 or 2 years ago and Gizmo is still fine. If your pets' health and happiness is important to you this is the place to take them. The vets here are better than most of the doctors in town.

I would give 20 stars if possible. Great quiet caring clinic. Not a ton of barking and people piled in a waiting room. Dr Kris is a Saint as are all the staff. After my first visit they called me and my dog by name.

We have taken our jack russell terrier to Skaer for 6 years. As an adult he started having seizures. They have been a great partner in helping us understand and treat the condition so that we can continue to enjoy our dog for many years to come! A+ Skills, knowledge and service.

Great, caring professionals at Skaer Vet Clinic. Drs. Skaer, Skaer, Dugan, and Arnett take great care of our fur babies. They've been with us through difficult times and always with compassion. We live across town but always make the trip to Skaer Vet Clinic.

This is a wonderful place for pets! They've been taking care of mine for quite awhile now, and I have to say the vets are great diagnosticians, and the staff is so caring and genuine. They go to great lengths to accommodate my crazy schedule. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
