Absolutely the biggest regret of my life n believe me I've had a few of them
.the receptionists are extremely rude and need to up their ppl skills
I feel very disappointed in this vets but with them being the closest 1 to us instead of having to go to Manchester (with a fish in a bag ) we had not much choice really but to put out trust in them..we we're asked to send a picture of our fish before the actual appointment which we did they them made an appointment for us
.we then went to the appointment only to find they didn't have any kind of treatment for our size fish (kribensis)they obviously treat bigger fish ie koi or larger goldfish which if they d told me that before the appointment I would have took the chance travelling to Manchester (I now wish I had)they should have told me this before arranging an appointment for us .. I asked the vet what her chances were of survival which he replied not good .so with that we decided to have her put to sleep we were offered to have her operated on which was An absolute ridiculous charge of £350 to £500 to remove either an abcess or a tumour removed from her eye which he didn't know which it was ..I've never felt so disappointed in all my life ..the cost I was charged to have her put to sleep and the consultation was £142 now my 3 week baby fish have no mother there for them we genuinely felt hopless with his diagnosis and felt we didn't want her to suffer any more than she was ..I felt like they deceived me Ietting me think they could treat that size fish ..its too late now but all I know if this happens again with any of my other fish I will definitely be taking the chance to travel to Manchester even though its a long way to keep a fish in a bag ..

had to have a pet of mine put down, paid for them to be cremated and a box for their ashes to go in. The vets said the would call me to let me know i could pick up my pet, a month later i still didn't hear anything from them so i call up the ark vet killamarsh only to be told they had my pet there and they don't know why no one called me about it. Its gets worse from there, I get to the vets to pick up my pet, not even a sorry or any type of apology was given to me. So only did I lose my pet, pick them up a month later because they didn't call me and to top it off not even apology from any of the staff. I wouldn't recommend going here for your pets, you might not ever hear from them again.

You get what you pay for with vets. If you are looking for a new vet or are wanting to get a young animal vaccinated then this is the best vet by miles for miles around.
Unfortunately in our area there are far too many cheap and not at all cheerful vets which have skewed what people expect to pay, and it’s incredibly sad to see reviewers complaining and bringing the rating down over what is the normal business practice of charging a consultation fee.
We have already taken them up on the puppy vaccination deal with Ladybug, and will also be having our male dog neutered by them as the first experience was by far the best I’ve ever had from a vet in 20 years of owning dogs. (Although clearly the second will be less of a jolly time for him)
The receptionists were friendly and lovely, the vet clearly had a deep love of animals and took the time to give good solid advice. I can’t reccomend them highly enough. :)

Fantastic Veterinary Surgery and I'm so glad they deal with 'exotic' pets, such as my Conure Parrot. The Vet I saw, called Lara, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and attentive, which meant I got all the answers I needed about my Conure's illness and needs.
The price of this place is also very very good, considering the sheer lack of exotic vets, especially in Yorkshire. I was expecting it to be much more expensive than it was. The money I paid was well worth the expertise I encountered.
If you have a Parrot or other 'exotic' pet in the Yorkshire area, I can't recommend this place enough. Their help has meant a lot of happiness for myself and Navi the Conure.
The only downside to this Vets is that it took me a long time to discover it and discover that it had an Avian Vet on staff. They need some better Marketing I believe! But that isn't too important for the actual Vets, so overall a fantastic experience.

UNTIL I was then charged consultation fee again of £24 for the check up and to say all clear, not good service at all, so was £50 + treatment for one issue. very poor.

Here's a tip for you:
When you know a customer has come in to have their dog put down, have the presence of mind to turn off the radio if it's playing kool & the Gang's song 'celebration' . I cant believe that sort of basic consideration even needs to be said.
In response:
Thank you for replying,
I humbly suggest that when any clients are leaving the surgery room, especially if it's serious - turn the radio off. I'm sure it's a tough enough job to do what you do on a daily basis so I can understand how these things happen but please change this part of how you operate.

Pricey and could have been much clearer about my pets condition at the offset and avoided 2 weeks of treatment which only prolonged his suffering. Paid to have him cremated and was not informed when his ashes came back, despite being told to wait for them to call. When I called them, they'd put the wrong name on his plaque.

I travel relatively far specifically to take my rabbits to Ark vets because of their staff qualifications in exotic animal and rabbit care. I've had some horror story experiences at other vets and I've found Ark to be incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and explain issues and options clearly. Sometimes I've had to chase up for updates when I've been promised a call, but I've always had things explained in full when I've got through (and I tend to think if they're not talking to me it's because they are caring for animals). I once lost a bunny which was very difficult but Ark did all they could and were very compassionate and I felt shared that journey with me, for which I am very grateful. The receptionists, Fiona and Ian are very good in particular. I trust Ark and would highly recommend to other animal lovers.

No longer with this vet for very good reasons...they diagnosed our cat with renal failure, however after spending 100's of 's on medication and food for a special diet over a period of 4 years, we learnt (after moving to a different and far better veterinary surgery) that the cat did not have renal failure as diagnosed by Ark!! However, we left this surgery prior to learning our cat did not have renal failure as we were having to visit this vets every 3 month for a repeat prescription (which involved having to pay for a consultation fee each time on top of the prescription cost) as they would not give us a prescription for the renal tablets for any period longer than 3 months, when they could have given us a prescription (like the new vet did) which would last for up to 12 months for the renal tablets (which we've since learnt we didn't even need!!). We were also sick of, to put it bluntly, having to deal with the miserable receptionist (not sure if she still works there as we haven't visited for over a year). Considering taking legal action for the incorrect diagnosis and been charged 100's if not 1000's by this vet in consultation fees, prescriptions, medication and renal food that our cat never even needed!! All in all, if you want to blow your money (get ripped off) and get your pet dosed up on drugs it doesn't even need (or potentially cause it more harm) then go to Ark Vets...if however, you have a bit of common sense then avoid and look to take your pet elsewhere.

Thank you to all the lovely staff at Ark Vets Killamarsh. They treated my poorly terrapin Rey and when it was time for him to be put to sleep they were supportive and respectful. I even received a condolences card which was such a touching and thoughtful thing to do, thank you xx

No longer with this vet for very good reasons...they diagnosed our cat with renal failure, however after spending 100's of 's on medication and food for a special diet over a period of 4 years, we learnt (after moving to a different and far better veterinary surgery) that the cat did not have renal failure as diagnosed by Ark!! However, we left this surgery prior to learning our cat did not have renal failure as we were having to visit this vets every 3 month for a repeat prescription (which involved having to pay for a consultation fee each time on top of the prescription cost) as they would not give us a prescription for the renal tablets for any period longer than 3 months, when they could have given us a prescription (like the new vet did) which would last for up to 12 months for the renal tablets (which we've since learnt we didn't even need!!). We were also sick of, to put it bluntly, having to deal with the miserable receptionist (not sure if she still works there as we haven't visited for over a year). Considering taking legal action for the incorrect diagnosis and been charged 100's if not 1000's by this vet in consultation fees, prescriptions, medication and renal food that our cat never even needed!! All in all, if you want to blow your money (get ripped off) and get your pet dosed up on drugs it doesn't even need (or potentially cause it more harm) then go to Ark Vets...if however, you have a bit of common sense then avoid and look to take your pet elsewhere.
