The docs and staff at Noah's Ark are the best! They've been there for our puppies and kittens but also for end of life care for my senior pets; we've always been able to bring our pets in when they need something urgent. We appreciate their care and compassion.

We've gone to Noah's Ark for a long time and they were always great but recently our pup got sick and they were outstanding. Just the most compassionate, patient care for us and our dog as he was going through his end of life. I'm very thankful to Dr. Kris and the staff

I went in because my dog was limping and just acting not herself. Panting a lot, not eating stuff like that. They saw her and gave her some medication like doggy aspirin equivalent and said come back if it's not better. About 200 bucks total. We'll never got better and I was visiting my parents in a small farm town and she was acting Abit worse. Vet there looked at her I told him the symptoms said it's bone cancer.
He did x-ray even though he told me it's a waste of money and yep 100% right. Dude looked at her for ten min did x-ray and diagnosed her in less time and with the x-ray for less than this place and got it right!

I prefer, if possible, to support women's businesses. Noah's Ark has been taking care of our cat's needs for 16 years and we could not be happier with everyone employed there. We moved 31 miles north of Brookside 7 years ago and will always keep them as our vet!

I have taken all 3 of my babies here and the staff and doctors have always been wonderful, very knowledgeable, friendly and most important, to me, they treat my babies as they would thier own. When it was time to help one of my babies cross the rainbow bridge they came to my place. Not only was she more comfortable I was as well not having to hand her over and not be with her as she passed. That meant the world to me.

I don't normally go to Noah's Ark animal hospital for veterinary care. My normal vet was unable to fit me in and I knew Murphy needed to be seen. They were able to accommodate me, gave Murphy the care he needed plus the medicine. I really appreciated that!
