I had called in advance in something of a panic and the lady I spoke to was very reassuring and kind. She told me to come right away and they would look after him. As soon as I walked in the lady knew who I was and she asked me to take a seat. I only had to wait a few minutes before the vet called me in. The Vet I saw was so lovely. He was kind and caring and really made me feel better. Unfortunately the outcome of his examination was not good as my rat had to be put to sleep :( The vet offered me the option of operating on my rat but he said it was very unlikely that he would survive and it would cost me a lot of money. He did not pressure me into spending extra money and made sure he gave me the facts for both options so I could make an informed choice. I left the room, clearly very upset, and the receptionist gave me a tissue and made me a cup of tea, telling me to take my time and there was no rush. Whilst I was sitting recovering the vet came out to see me and said my rat had just drifted away and did not suffer, which made me feel better. When it was time to pay the receptionist seemed to be feeling very bad to have to charge me for putting my rat to sleep, but I understood that I had to pay. The staff were so lovely and kind at Ark. I haven't had cause to go back to a vets since then but if I did I would definitely go to Ark. Read Less
