I have been bringing my pets here for at least 29 years...dogs, cats, and a rabbit. I live in Eagan now but have come from as far as St. Louis Park when I lived there to have my pets taken care of by this excellent hospital. All the Veterinarians at this facility are excellent and the technicians as well as all staff are excellent. They go the "extra mile" to provide the best service. I recommend them to everyone who asks me. Read Less

THE best animal hospital around! The folks at the front are so helpful, kind and showed lots of love to my beloved Chloe. The lab technicians also take great care in drawing blood, etc. Dr. Tom is a miraculous doctor! He is so kind, knowledgeable and thorough. We love everyone at Skadron Animal Hospital! Thank you for loving our pet family members. Read Less

Dr Skadron has been my vet since my wonderful dog, Benson, came into my life. He was recommended by my sister who used Skadron for several years. Unfortunately, Benson, lost his life this week due to an aggressive cancer. Throughout the time I had Benson, we were at the vet on several occasions for checkups, teeth cleaning and finally for his last visit 5/14/18. The entire staff is compassionate, professional and caring. Dr. Skadron is the best, easy to talk to, kind and knowledgeable. When I get my next dog, I will return to Skadron Animal Hospital, they are the best, I highly recommend them. . Read Less

I don't have enough nice things to say about this animal hospital. They take each or your concerns to heart. They continually go above and beyond to schedule you quickly and appropriately based on your needs. You can even email them for questions regarding your pets. It's amazing service. Excellent pricing and not too expensive. They care for all of our scale babies. (beardie and leopard geckos) Read Less

My retriever and I went through a fair number of Vets in her life and there are some good to great ones out there. The Skadron’s though are magnificent! No stone was ever left unturned and their was always a complete explanation of everything from what was going on to any medications used. We opted for acupuncture and laser to treat degenerative arthritis during her senior years. Please believe me when I say it works. Unfortunately it’s a treatment and not a cure. These doctors took care of her as if she was their own and not a patient. From what I observed all who came to see them were treated this way. Read Less

Dr. Thomas Skadron surgically removed a tumor from my dog Rusty that was in the small intestine, giving him another chance at life, as Rusty would have died without this surgery. Dr. Skadron went out of his way to schedule the surgery right away. His deep caring compassion and love of animals is very evident. Every Dr. and staff member I dealt with were caring and very knowledgeable. Read Less

The best vets in town! Tommy treats my 2 poodles like they are his children. Excellent staff and great boarding. In addition, Teri is a miracle worker with her healing ability with acupuncture. I'm not joking, she healed my dogs back and leg issues and did wonders to make my aging dog with diabetes comfortable and able to function comfortably during his last year of life. Love Skadron Animal Hospital!!!! Read Less

These guys are the best! Dr. Tom takes care of my pekingese Emmitt and makes me feel as if he loves him as much as I do! Dr. Terri gives Emmitt acupuncture and has helped him so much! We wouldn't go anywhere else! Read Less

3 stars for good service, but very high prices! I wouldn't want to dissuade anyone from using this clinic as the doctors are great, but as one of those money conscious millennials, I've found (over and over again) that their prices are far from competitive. I'm talking $50-$150 difference for the same service right down the road! I'm all for staying local, so as a WSP resident I always call them first, then find that Mendota Heights and SSP have vet clinics offering the same quality service for far cheaper. It's unfortunate for them, but that's how the free market works. I would stay with them if their prices were more friendly for a middle class wallet. Read Less

I feel totally confident in the expertise of Dr. Tom! My dogs love him, and he loves them back, and he tells me I'm a good pet owner, which I'm probably not. Everyone there is great and I wonder why it took me so long to figure out we should go there! Read Less

They provide the best most compassionate care. They take the time to explain what is going on and to get to know the animal and you. We have taken all of our dogs for the past 20 years and now our hedgehog. Couldn't ask for a better place. Read Less

Skadrons have been part of r family for 40+ yrs. Tom is the best. Anytime I would panic & think something was wrong he checked Chloe & reassured me she was fine. All the staff were very friendly, confident in the job they did, & VERY caring & understanding. Last Monday we had to put r very beloved princess Chloe Elizabeth down. Unfortunately Dr. Tom was on vacation so Dr. Clausen was there & was very caring & gentle. All the staff gave myself & my dad who went w me, all the time we needed 2 say goodbye. both before and after she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to everyone, especially Dr. Tom for all you did for my family & my precious Bella. It has been a EXTREMELY long & difficult week. With love & sincere thanks to all...KhristaRead Less

The absolute best. Caring, smart and compassionate. All the doctors are amazing (Dr Moore recently retired but she saw my animals for years and Dr Clausen looks at every angle and notices everything) and the techs are fabulous especially Pat. Read Less

Feeling so appreciative of Dr. Tom Skadron for saving our kitty Blue's life! After three nights at Skadron Animal Hospital receiving treatment for bladder stones, our kitty is back home and seemingly feeling better than ever! Dr. Skadron is so compassionate and generous, and also so intuitive and smart we are so happy we made the choice to bring our pets to Skadron Animal Hospital! Read Less

Who said there are no heroes left? Last night when my dear puppy Sammy was lethargic, drooling and not able to stand, Tom told us to meet him at the hospital. Once we got there panicked and in tears, Tom and Teri took Sammy under their care. After many tests and attempts to find out what was the toxin that had been ingested, we had one more test to do. This one would require an emergency animal hospital to complete it. Tom and Teri not only gave us a ride home but took the sample to the animal hospital last night to have it tested. I could really go on and on about the compassion, generosity and kindness the Skadrons showed us last night. They are true heroes, and we are all so lucky to have them in our midst! THANK YOU for saving the life of my furry child! Yes, Sammy is all better, YAY! Read Less

I just wanted to share some of my experiences so other people know how amazing Skadron Animal Hospital really is!Dr. Tom Skadron first saw my dog Mario when he was throwing up daily for awhile and I was very scared for him. He suspected a slight case of pancreatitis (I could not afford all of the testing which he worked with me on so wonderfully to get the proper treatment while on a budget!) and it was treated appropriately! He explained very well what could have caused it so I know what not to do for future reference. Also, Mario loved him and he knew exactly how to pick him up without scaring him! (Mario is scared of strangers and has a tendency to nip when feeling threatened) It has not came back since!Dr. Clausen also saw Mario for his check ups after an emergency from him getting attacked by a dog. Her follow up care was perfect and she was so sweet to him! She also was very helpful and gave great advice and his neck healed PERFECTLY. You can't even tell a dog attacked him anymore. Of course last but not least, Dr. Teri Skadron!  She has seen all of my more exotic pets including my guinea pigs and snakes. She is SO knowledgeable and it is always a pleasure working with her on my snakes whenever an issue pops up. I can't rave about her enough! She is extremely flexible and is always willing to help and answer all my random questions I have. If she doesn't know a particular answer she goes above and beyond and does some research on it to make sure she is giving the right info.Also, the receptionists and techs are just phenomenal as well! They are all SO nice and helpful too. Thanks Skadron Animal Hospital for being the best! Forever customer! (And I work at a vet clinic! Haha!) Read Less

Skadron is the most caring vet I have ever encountered. They have always gone the extra mile for me and my various critters. Whenever I bring a furry friend to them I feel included in and informed of their care every step of the way. If not for the wonderful staff and their over-the-top compassion, my chinchilla probably would have passed years ago. Thanks to their attention to detail and interest in his health, he is now not only stable, but doing well. I do not recommend vets often, but when I do, I recommend Skadron Animal Hospital. Read Less

Dr. Skadron took our Bruiser under his wing and saved his life. He was 11 years old and on borrowed time. He saved his life right in front of my eyes. I'd heard for years though a friend how amazing he was. That day I saw and felt it for myself! This man has a gift to love animals and take care of them. There is no better place to trust the lives of our furry friends. Dr. Skadron and staff thank you everything~ Read Less

We and our dog loved Skadron! The staff and doctors were very welcoming and hospitibal....they made us and the dog feel comfortable and went above and beyond to accomodate. They offered to clip the dog's toe nails at no extra charge. We also had a test run that cost way more that we expected...when we explained our concern they actually credited us for the extra costs. They were very informative and had good answers to al our questions. No complaints and we will definitely be going back. Read Less

Dr. Moore at Skadron Animal Hospital is the best. I brought both my dogs to see her from the time they were pups until they were both old and sick and needed to be put down. She is always professional, compassionate and understanding. She went above and beyond the call of duty taking my calls almost daily while we adjusted my dog’s medication for Cushing’s disease. She cried with me when it was time to put him down. I later received a hand-written personal sympathy card from her along with a poem. She also made a donation in his name to an animal charity. She always made me feel as though my dogs were her favorites. I’m sure that she made all her clients feel this way and that is what makes her such a wonderful vet. When it is time to get another dog, I would not consider any other vet other than Dr. Moore. Read Less

I love, love, love Skadron Animal Hospital. My animals see Dr. Moore, and she is the most loving and compassionate woman I have ever met. She treated my dogs while they were alive, and when I had to put each of them down she cried with me and gave me the biggest hugs. Then, she wrote me a handwritten note to express her sympathy and sent it in the mail. AND, they also made footprint molds of each of the dogs' paws, and made a donation to a local wildlife refuge in each of their names. I mean, how fantastic is that! When I recently rescued my new kitty, I couldn't wait to make an appointment with Dr. Moore! She is truly the best. It is worth the drive from anywhere in the Twin Cities to bring your pets to Skadron! Read Less

I am a new client at this animal hospital. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Dr. Thomas Skadron was my doctor and I absolutely LOVED him. He is caring, thorough, and sweet. My old vet was just so so and my neighbor suggested Skadron and now I am suggesting it to everyone I know. Clear difference in time, effort, consideration. Is it OK to fall in love with your veterinarian? I think Ii have. Read Less

My family has ben going to Skadron Animal Hospital since Dr. Tom's Dad - Dr. Stanley - was there. I will never forget the kindness and compassion with which his Dad treated my cat and me (who was a very scared little girl at the time!). All of that wonderful intelligence and compassion has CLEARLY been inherited by Dr. Tom - simply the best Vet there is, no doubt about it at all (and, on a personal note - Ladies, he's also GORGEOUS! My sister and I call him the original Dr. McDreamy!) Read Less

First of all, have you ever seen a busier place? I have been going to the Skadron Animal Hospital for decades, but I recently came to reappreciate the value of a family atmosphere and a doctor who obviously cares and is equally capable. I have seen all the veterinarians at this hospital and they are all as intelligent and caring as any human doctor I have seen. I think, perhaps, even more so. I was in the waiting room the other day, sitting with a guy who had a dog who needed to have rope removed from his dogs intestinal tract and 2 other people who had dogs with bladder surgeries. Then 2 puppies came through the door. So happy. I think Dr. Tom Skadron is the Michael Jordan of this business. He is blessed with a combination of things that seem to come natural to him, like caring, caring, caring, lots of ability to explain, and knowledge to break it all down in a way that I can understand, charm, but it is all blended with an intense and obvious effort. Not like those guys the teams draft in the first round, have all the God given ability, but just lack the effort. He doesn't seem to ever take it for granted that he has such an amazing practice. I can tell on the faces of eceryone who walks in and out of there, that they feel that they are appreciated. I always do and I watch to see if it is just me, or if everyone seems to leave with the same look on their face and they do. This place and that doctor is just the best. Read Less

I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with Skadron Animal Hospital. As an individual who has been in my customer service situations I would say they are very friendly and responsive to their clients. Recently, I needed vaccine records for my dog and they were quick to provide me with the information. Previously, my dog had contracted Lyme's disease and they were very kind in their care giving and they were responsive to all of my phone calls during the ordeal. Dr. Tom has quite a connection /appreciation for dogs and I feel my hound is in great hands with him. Read Less

Dr. Tom and his staff are fantastic. We found Dr. Tom about 9 years ago and would never even consider another vet. A great way to describe him would be a walking Saint Francis of Assisi (the patron saint of animals). He has a genuine gift of making even the most neverous dog and owner more comfortable. My parents had a dog that had to have tranquilizers before he went to the vet; but after meeting Dr. Tom, he never needed one again. He also helped up with our Vizsla/Lab Cross who had cancer. We decided to go to him for a second opinion as we were just not satisfied with the service and support of our other vet. They basically gave up on us. Unfortunately the cancer did win eventually; but even before she passed Dr. Tom wanted to check her out and see if he had absolutely covered every single angle of her illness. I firmly believe that if it was not for Dr. Tom, Cinnamon would not have had the quality of life that she would have had if we had not decided to have him take a look at her. We now have another Vizsla age (who has Dr. Tom wrapped around her paw) and a Lab/Springer Cross 8 1/2. They have been patients of Dr. Tom since they were puppies. We have some kidney issues with our Lab/Springer that Dr. Tom found right away when she was young. Not only did he explain her condition in ways that we could understand; but he has always worked with us to keep her happy and healthy. No matter what, he always takes the time to meet and explain things to you and encourages you to ask questions. You may ask the same question or not understand something, and he will always take the time to make sure you are not confused. He also follows up on his patients, and will call you if you do not call him. He has even called us on his vacation to follow up with one of our animals. He cares and understands how important pets are to families and our society. We will never go anywhere else and we will always recommend him and his team to our friends and family. Read Less

We drive 180 miles round trip to bring our dog to see Dr. Tom Skadron. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up to date on the latest veterinary procedures, medications and trends. He has up to date digital technology in the office, something you do not see everywhere. We are confident and trust completely in Dr. Skadron's recommendations for our dog. He is truly a caring person....he calls or emails us personally to check on any medical progress with our beloved pet. While in his office, he closes out the rest of the world to focus on you and your concerns. He takes the time to explain things in detail. We attribute our dog's long and healthy life to care from Dr. Tom Skadron. You will find the staff at his office has the same care and concern...willing to do whatever to help. It proves to me, that he leads a team with a philosophy of love, respect and ""niceness"" you typically cannot find. We could have chosen any veterinarian...but I pick the vet who will come to the car to remove stitches, so our nervous 15 year old dog could be happy. Read Less

My dog definately had an ear infection, which I wanted to get medicine for before we headed up to the cabin for the weekend, but our vet we had had for over 2 years (not to name names, but its on Grand Ave.) wouldn't take us in last minute, but Skadron took us in right away and they were great! We got the medicine we needed quickly and were on our way. Read Less

It is an unusual experience to have a medical professional speak to you in a way that allows you to understand yet not feel belittled. I L-O-V-E Dr. Tom Skadron. Everyone else does too and his schedule shows it -- he is starting to be a little bit tough to get an appointment with due to demand but it is worth it. I have had the opportunity to see the other Dr.s there and they have all been excellent. I brought my new puppy in recently and was able to ask and have answered any question and concern that came to mind. The place is always swarming with people and their pets which is usually really fun. I love that the practice has computerized records -- no paper folders which seems to allow them to quickly review old lab work and files. Even the xrays that were taken of one of my dog's paw shows up on this little computer the Dr. carries around. This practice is also the only one in our area that is certified by the American Animal Hospital Association. I found that out by going to the AAHA web site to look for an accredited practice when I moved to St. Paul. My favorite part of bringing my pets there is the interaction of the Doctors and the pets and their families. At other practices I have been to, the doctor would spend very little time in the room and it is actually the nurse that does most of the interaction with us and our dogs. Skadron's seems to be the opposite. The Dr.s do the entire exam and have time to consider questions, concerns, and the well being of our pets. Really great combination of ultra modern equipment and old fashioned interpersonal , and doctor patient relations. I would take my kids there if they would hire a pediatrician! Really great.

my cat had an intestinal tumor that 2 other vets could not figure out. He was near death and Dr. Skadron removed the mass surgically, along with that part of the intestinal tract and he has done great for over a year. He is geting fat again which is another story, but thank goodness for Dr. Skadron! Read Less
