Works with their clients if they need a digital copy of vet records and definitely treat your pets like family! I'm very thankful for them for working with me to provide the proof of ownership of my sweet boy!

We absolutely love Skaer and Dr. Covington! All of the vet techs are so kind, and Travis at the front desk is always a pleasure to talk to about my questions. When we first moved to Wichita, it was in the second half of 2020, and things were, well, weird. I was anxious about curbside vet services, as we had adopted Kenzie less than a year before and I hadn't ever left her by herself at this point yet. They were kind and helpful, and Dr. Covington came out to the car to tell me all about how the appointment went. Two years later and we still completely love going, and Kenzie gets so excited to see everyone! We've since signed up for the wellness plan and absolutely love using that to help spread out the cost of service on our lazy, 100 pound, polar bear-mix.

I just called Skaer because I saw that it was close and my dog had some symptoms that concerned me. I wish I could remember the woman who answered the phone because she was the sweetest. She helped me and I’m not even a client (YET) she gave me numbers and addresses when she didn’t have to. Our vet from out of town is closing and I 100% know I’m taking my pack here for all our future needs. If over the phone service is that good I look forward to seeing in person care.

Skaer vet has always been so good to our boy, I never have to worry about the care he's gotten here. However my biggest complaint is that we can never get an appointment sooner than 3 weeks out. Ever. And if we ask if there's anything sooner, we are told it can be an emergency visit, which it's not necessarily an emergency, but it needs to be addressed sooner than three weeks because it could lead to an actual emergency with our dog's medical history. So it feels like there's always somewhat of a delay in care of that. My other complaint is that the prices are at least 2x more than any other vet we've been to in the past with our other dogs for the same exact things- especially for dental cleanings and lab work. The only reason we haven't switched is simply for the fact that they've followed our boy's care for a very long time and switching is a pain. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the care and the doctors, I think it's all wonderful, but these are the two biggest issues we have and wish could improve, but understand why it can't.

Absolutely wonderful experience on all accounts. The care team and Dr. Skaer were all extremely friendly and attentive to my pup, and she's on her way to a full recovery thanks to them! I highly recommend this vet and her team.
