About Us

At Skipton Pet Center our highest priority is the health and happiness of your pet.  Skipton's opened its doors in 1939 on Huntington Avenue as a humble kennel and pet supply store.  Three other stores in Chestnut Hill, Mission Hill, and Framingham have opened since then, and gone to other owners.  Today, the Southampton street location still proudly provides Greater Boston animal-lovers with healthy aquatics, quality products, grooming, and The Pawsitive Dog's training.

Our expert team of "Skiptonauts" are highly knowledgeable and trained to help with livestock compatibility, product choices, and troubleshooting.  Let us assist you in your dog and cat accessories selection; in fact, we have pet nutritionists on staff if you want to learn about holistic, raw, or special-needs diets.  If your hobby is aquarium keeping, come work with our ten specialists, and we can help you with your reptile, bird, or small animal questions.  Whatever your persuation(s), swing on in and "geek-out" with us!

After all, "It's all about the animals!"
