Overview

At our animal hospital, our philosophy is simple: we want to help pets and their owners share a happy life. We’re a full-service animal hospital, which means we perform everything from surgery to dental care to ultrasounds. We care about your pet’s well-being as much as you do and hope to be its primary veterinarian for life. We promise to provide exceptional veterinary care at every stage of its development

Since 1992, Dr. Frank Skipworth and his receptionist, Rhonda, have been working to serve local pet families, nurturing bonds between people and their companion animals and building trusting, long-term relationships within the community. In 2008, Skipworth Veterinary Clinic was established here in Richmond, a place we proudly call home. Dr. Taylor Adams joined the team in 2022 to make for a multi-veterinarian practice. We practiced for 15 years in a mixed practice and decided to open our own clinic in 2008. In the Fall of 2017, we realized our dream and moved our practice to a building that we own
