I wish I could give less than one star - as I feel like we were horribly mishandled. Today, we should've announced a new addition to our furbabies. Instead, Skippack Animal Hospital, toyed with our hearts, wasted our time, our money and our sanity. Despite asking about if there were others interested, checking out completely, having a place ready and kitten-proofed; we lose out to another family. They claim this family had interest first - we saw the kitten Saturday, October 4th, called and left a message the next day, Monday thought all about her as she went through surgery to be spayed, and waited without any sense of patience on Tuesday so we could see her. Tuesday, October 7th we fell completely head over heels, spent an hour with her and tore ourselves away figuring this was a done deal. Wednesday we got Persephone updated on her shots, so she'd be ready, and waited to hear back with good news. We pestered our current vet to call Skippack Animal Hospital, so we could get confirmation. Tyler- my wonderful and dedicated husband, called DAILY - usually multiple times, to see what else was needed, had they heard anything from our vet, was there any news - we love her and can't wait - sorry for pestering. We were told if everything went well, we'd get to bring her home Friday. I'm not sure what changed between Wednesday, October 8th and Friday the 10th, but we got the run around several times on Friday. To not pester, since the "only person who can do the adoptions" wasn't in until Monday, we left it at that - missing out on spending time with a little kitten we couldn't stop talking about - thinking about. Today Tyler called for an update, got more run around and introduced to the fact that there was suddenly another family interested. We had to wait to see if this family's cat had once again tested positive for Feline Luekemia. Our cat has never tested positive, and we were willing to spend yet more money to ensure Skippack of this. We obviously lost to this other family, who magically came out of the woodwork. No apology will be enough to counter the melancholy I feel. You see we have been interested in getting another cat for a while now. I've seen plenty of adorable kittens - what kitten isn't too cute for words - and none have pulled on my soul quite like this one has. So I consider it a loss. We won't be adopting any new cat - probably ever. I apologize for my rant/long story on Facebook, as I try not to post stuff like this here. But my hope is that you think twice before using any services from Skippack Animal Hospital - especially if you consider adopting from them. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. As for me, until we consider adopting a new pet, I'll spend the adoption fee giving to rescues with competent staff who consider what is best for the pet versus - who showed interest first.

I was happy with choosing this place as my vet but I believe they sent my pet home too early as I had to take him to the emergency service the very next day as their office was closed. And even though the doctor was not there when I went to pick him up, I wasn't satisfied that the receptionist was trying to answer my questions instead of contacting the doctor for me. I could have saved a large sum of money, but other than that I was very happy with the staff and the office. I moved from out of state and I don't think they were over priced at all... about average I'd say.. you have to expect to pay when you have a pet.

I have gone to Skippack Animal Hospital for 20 years. I moved an hour away 5 years ago, but I still drive there, as I truly believe the quality of care and service I get there I will not find anywhere else. I have taken seriously ill and injured animals here, and they have always fixed them and sent them home. They do very careful, thorough exams, catching problems when they are small, helping my pets to live long and healthy lives. Dr. Evans has done many surgeries on my animals over the years, and they all recover quickly. They take great care to prevent pain. The knee surgery she did on my mastiff was wonderful, he was using the leg the next day, and I have had many orthopedic surgeons operate on my animals' knees, and there have always been complications. The staff is friendly, upbeat, caring, and efficient. I get appointments and my questions answered right away. My animals mean everything to me, and I just don't trust anyone else to work on them.

When we moved to the area, I chose Skippack Animial Hospital for my pets needs and have been happy with them ever since. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable (for Montgomery County).
