Very happy with the service here. The staff and the doctor were very kind and attentive to my Rosa's care. The doctor and staff really listened to everything and gave her a very through examination and made me feel a lot more informed as to possible treatments for her. They are so wonderful and caring. Rosa already seams to be responding well to the medication you prescribed her. I can't thank you enough she is my world. Hugs

I was calling around trying to get quotes on first round of puppy vaccines. Ark was able to get my puppy in the same day. They were super friendly and gentle with him. They did a general health check, his first round of vaccines, dewormer, and flea and tick prevention for about $200. I'm not sure how that compares to other vets in the area but I'm glad my pup is well taken care of there!

Our cat was severely injured by a wild animal and Ark Veterinary hospital got him right in and taken care of. They made sure to be up front with any prices and were reasonable. We've taken him for a couple things since then and always receive excellent service.

They saved my kitty. I called so many places the night he got sick and in the morning we found Ark. Everyone was very nice and super helpful and the prices were by far the most reasonable of any other location I've contacted. My family and I are forever grateful for the veterinarian and staff at Ark for giving our kitty another chance at life and happiness with our family.

The Ark Veterinary Hospital takes great care of our beloved cat from Hades. They know she is going to rip them up one side and down the other, and they still welcome her with a smile!
