I've been bringing my furry family to Ark since moving to the area over 15 years ago. They've always been intensely supportive in even the most challenging situations, taking the time to talk with me about care options. They offer a blend of western and eastern treatment practices that I feel give me more a more all encompassing approach. My dogs have all lived beyond the standard life expectancy of their breeds and have done so in overall exemplarily good health. Ark has given me many of the tools I've needed to make that happen.

They really take such good care of my dog, Mopsie. Mopsie's 16, almost 17, and while she's still chugging along and enjoying life, she of course has some problems. Ark Animal Hospital doesn't just treat Mopsie's symptoms individually, but really approach her care holistically. They prescribed some Chinese herbal supplements for her hindquarter weakness, and I feel like I've seen a difference in her gait. She hasn't gotten any worse, at least, and at her age that is a triumph! They also turned us on to these oral chews for Mopsie's dental health that Mopsie lovessss! She'll walk all the way around the block just to have one of those chews as a treat. Thank you, Ark Animal Hospital, for taking such good care of my love! Read Less

Excellent bed side manner by the awesome staff! From our first contact on the phone, to the interactions with everyone in person, I was highly impressed. Their clinic is very clean and calming which I think really helps the animals settle and feel less nervous. I would recommend to friends and family for sure. A+ experience from start to finish.

We very recently brought our beloved dog to Ark Animal Hospital for treatment. Sadly we subsequently had to euthanize him. I am just writing a review because I was very thankful for both Dr. Maus and all of her staff. I found them to be very kind and compassionate at what was a devastating time for myself and my husband. My dog was treated and handled with dignity including the manner in which he was cremated. Their loving care and professionalism will always be appreciated. Read Less

I'm new to the area and this place was highly recommended by a coworker. I called for an estimate for a dental cleaning for my dog and was told that they don't give surgery estimates over the phone. That should have been my first clue, but it sounded reasonable so I made an appointment. Upon entering it's very obvious to me that this place has seen better days. They have plastic lawn furniture in the lobby and a horrible brown and yellow diy painted doors! The vet examined my dog for 5 minutes and then I was given a $517 estimate for a basic cleaning and charged $43 for the "consultation"!! I was pissed. Having worked for a veterinarian in the past, I consider myself a pretty good judge of them and I know when I'm being ripped off. I have since called around and gotten several other estimates and found a few places that are much more reasonable. This place is a waste of time and money. I will not be back. Read Less
