Our Veterinarian in Richmond Treating Pet Families with Compassion and Integrity

At our animal hospital, our philosophy is simple: we want to help pets and their owners share a happy life together. Since 1992, Dr. Frank Skipworth and his receptionist, Rhonda, have been working together 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 that we are proud to call our home.

Our love of cats and dogs show in everything we do—from taking extra time during appointments, to keeping our doors open after-hours to accommodate emergencies, to working within our clients’ budgets. As a family-oriented animal hospital in Richmond, we understand the importance of your four-legged family members, and pledge to give them only the best possible care we can offer.
