Welcome to Skilos, A Family Pet Store! 

Top Pick In Milwaukee, Best Pet Stores in America

First and foremost our goal is to help make pet ownership as easy as it can be for you! At Skilos we simply want to help you find solutions to the issues that come up with everyday pet ownership so you can be the pet owner you want to be! We know there is an overload of information out there so let us sift through it all so you can focus on having fun with your pet!!   

The Skilos family, quite literally a family, is owned and operated by Skilos CEO Judy Kurscheidt and her eldest son, Zachary Dewitt (Wears many hats). 

Judy has been in the pet industry for almost 30 years and has served companies in multiple capacities. She began her foray into the pet industry as an executive administrative assistant but quickly proved more than capable of handling larger responsibilities. Since that first role she has held titles such as national sales manager and international sales manager. It has been her dream while raising her two sons, Jerad & Zachary, that she would someday be able to open her own family pet store. 

Zachary got his first dog, a German Shepherd, Franklin, in December of 2019. He quickly realized how much work and how little he actually knew about being the sole caretaker of a pet. He’s incredibly excited to embark on this venture with his family to help individuals and families get the absolute most out of pet ownership! “My (Zach’s) goal is to make sure we are always carrying products that are useful, quality and is something I, as a dog owner, can stand behind.” Since opening Skilos he has expanded his fur family to include a domestic short-haired cat named Harriett & another German Shepherd, Dennis!

Between Judy and Zach the family cares for Three Cats & Two Dogs. Navigating modern day pet ownership has been quite the journey and we're so grateful to have stores in communities filled with pet lovers!

So Thank You once again for taking the time to learn more about the family here at Skilos! We can’t wait to learn more about you, your pets and your family as we get to know each other. It’s our sincere hope that you get the sense of family every time you step in our stores. This is more than a pet store to us. Just as our pets are more than simply pets in our families. It all starts and ends with family for us and we welcome you into ours! See you soon!!
