Ark Pet Hospital
New Brighton, Minnesota
General Info
Ark Pet Hospital in New Brighton transforms veterinary care into an educational partnership that responds to subtle health signals while empowering Minnesota pet owners. The first visits involve pets starting their environmental adjustment process by becoming accustomed to the room's sounds and lighting conditions as well as its layout. Upon entry veterinarians begin their observation by assessing an animal's movement patterns along with its social interactions and hesitation zones while monitoring breath rhythm and tactile responses. Veterinary physical examinations evaluate coat condition alongside hydration status and gum coloration while assessing limb functionality joint sensitivity abdominal tone and muscle stability. The intake picture becomes complete through owner feedback because recent appetite changes grooming routines interaction shifts and vocalization patterns guide the next steps. Ark Pet Hospital delivers an array of structured services that encompass lab panels dental procedures surgical prep and recovery age-adjusted diagnostics and preventative wellness mapping. Detailed explanations accompany each service milestone while visual progress tools support multi-visit plans. The team assists owners in deciphering animal body language throughout recovery to identify behaviors that indicate either readiness or resistance which makes home care more intuitive. The mapping of follow-up visits relies on behavioral benchmarks instead of simple calendar dates. To enhance each return check-in with contextual information, owners should monitor observable changes such as sleep cycles, eye contact duration, surface preferences, and mobility gradients. This ensures decisions are made with confidence and continuity. Ark Pet Hospital delivers a clinical partnership to pet families in New Brighton and across Minnesota which focuses on knowledge patience and visibility resulting in an active collaborative care approach from the first day.

I found Ark when I got my first cat, and I now also bring both my dogs as well. They are friendly and helpful, and I’ve always felt confident with my pet’s health when they’re in Ark’s hands!

Dr. Mary and the staff at Ark have been taking care of my now senior (17 yo) cat since he was a kitten. I trust that his current health as a senior has much to do with their care. Although my cat does not always enjoy trips to the vet (he's not the most social guy), the staff at Ark always try to minimize any stress and keep him comfortable. I really appreciate that!

I brought my rescue cat here twice: once for the newly adopted checkup, once for an injury. Both times I found the receptionist/check-in clerk to not be very friendly. I wasn't greeted either time, and I had to make sure she got me checked into be seen even though, again both times, I was the only one waiting. I found the vet to be not very warm with me or my pet. The first time I thought it could have been a long day and she was tired, but it happened both times. So... going to try another place.

Everyone was so kind and Dr. Mary Philippson took all the time we needed to walk us through the process. We picked up a cat that had been living on the street and the man who looked after her asked if anyone would be willing to take her in. We did and Mary took real good care of our Ayla and now she's a healthy indoor cat. Thank you all for being such a great clinic with friendly faces willing to assist. Wonderful staff too!

I highly recommend Ark Pet Hospital! We visited their New Brighton office recently when one of our senior cats fell ill. I am immensely grateful for the compassion and sensitivity that Dr. Mary and team provided throughout the situation. They are amazing folks who truly care. They were also very accommodating when we needed to make appointments. I was impressed that they provided a free account to their online portal, ePetHealth, where I can view my pet's medical history, tests, etc. This is a nice feature that I didn€t have with previous vet. I also appreciate that you can request appointment times online. Great pet services if you are in the Twin Cities Metro.

I brought my newly rescued cat here for his first checkup. The women at the front desk are very nice; Holly chatted on the phone with me once about some bad behavior my cat was exhibiting, she gave advice and I didn't feel her pressuring me to hang up (I'm a receptionist myself and know difficult long-winded people can be!). From the other positive reviews, I must have just had a negative experience with Dr. Mary, so factor in other's experiences along with mine. Mary seemed nice, very professional and was fond of my cat. I was excited about connecting with her because this was my first feline in my home and I've always had positive relationships with my past vets. Knowing it's controversial in the cat world and not actually planning on doing it with my cat, I asked about declawing, desiring a professional's thoughts on a procedure I knew little about. Instead I got a round-a-bout answer that didn't place her as hot or cold, and then treated me with slight contempt for the rest of the visit. I was confused and even interjected later to say that I wasn't actually interested in declawing. She seemed surprised and pleased with that, but I didn't like being given the cold shoulder because she had made assumptions. I looked up the procedure later, at least I know what it is now.I give this place an A-OK, others might like it but I simply won't be returning to this hospital for our animals. I want my vet to be a safe place to ask questions, as silly as they may seem in the eye of a professional.

I needed paperwork quickly for my rescue dog's first boarding stay and Ark's staff responded right away by email with what I needed, and even offered to contact the boarding place directly for me. The techs would always help me load my huge mystery mutt into the car when I was pregnant. Great people!!

Dr. Mary and her staff are great--A+My wife and I have kept them busy over the years. We have 3 giant Presa Canario guard dogs and 5 cats. In addition, we've had numerous reptiles over the years. We haven't exactly brought them the easiest clients over the years! But Ark Pet Hospital has always been great.I really can't say enough good things about them...but I'll try. Dr. Mary and her staff are not only very knowledgeable, they're also flexible, compassionate, friendly, and the pricing is fair. I've had two episodes that I'd like to share with Yelp which tells volumes about Dr. Mary and her team.First, we had an elderly cat, Edward, who ran into serious trouble in the end. It deteriorated to the point of putting him down. After almost 2 decades together, it was very hard to put Edward to sleep. Dr. Mary and one of her techs, Angie, actually came to our house and put Edward to sleep in his favorite chair. My wife and I are incredibly thankful for the compassionate help we received.Second, we had a horrible fight between two of our 150 pound dogs about two years ago. One of the dogs had life threatening injuries. Dr. Mary determined that they needed immediate surgical help from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Mary actually left her practice and helped us transport both of the injured dogs to the U of M for life saving attention. We couldn't have done it without her since these dogs now hated each other and couldn't ride in the same car...but they both needed to be seen by a surgeon immediately.Of course, they're also good at regular stuff like yearly checkups and shots!Thank you VERY much, Ark Pet Hospital!-Daddy Maxx Retro

I have brought my dog here for a number of years and am always amazed at how wonderful he is treated. From the second I walk in the door the staff recognizes me and they are always excited to see my dog. They make you feel like you are really important to them and not "just another number". The prices are fair and I am often given estimates re. what the treatments, etc will cost so I have some idea as opposed to them just doing things and handing me a large bill at the end that I am not prepared for. Dr. Mary is wonderful and always willing to see us problems large or small, and makes sure that my boy is taken care of. They are a small business which is great because I feel like they have really gotten to know us and want to make a difference in my dog's life. I highly recommend them!

I brought my dog Merlin in a few weeks ago, for his annual exam and vaccinations. I was very please with how knowledgable and friendly the staff and Dr. Mary Philippson the veterinarian were to me and my dog. They made me feel like the genuinly cared about me and Merlin and not that we were just another "number" passing through the door. They mentioned that Merlin needed his teeth cleaned and I found that they were willing to give me an estimate to take home, and I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the price was and it even included bloodwork before they put him under anesthesia. I will definately be using Ark Pet Hospital as my clinic in the future.

General Info
Ark Pet Hospital in New Brighton transforms veterinary care into an educational partnership that responds to subtle health signals while empowering Minnesota pet owners. The first visits involve pets starting their environmental adjustment process by becoming accustomed to the room's sounds and lighting conditions as well as its layout. Upon entry veterinarians begin their observation by assessing an animal's movement patterns along with its social interactions and hesitation zones while monitoring breath rhythm and tactile responses. Veterinary physical examinations evaluate coat condition alongside hydration status and gum coloration while assessing limb functionality joint sensitivity abdominal tone and muscle stability. The intake picture becomes complete through owner feedback because recent appetite changes grooming routines interaction shifts and vocalization patterns guide the next steps. Ark Pet Hospital delivers an array of structured services that encompass lab panels dental procedures surgical prep and recovery age-adjusted diagnostics and preventative wellness mapping. Detailed explanations accompany each service milestone while visual progress tools support multi-visit plans. The team assists owners in deciphering animal body language throughout recovery to identify behaviors that indicate either readiness or resistance which makes home care more intuitive. The mapping of follow-up visits relies on behavioral benchmarks instead of simple calendar dates. To enhance each return check-in with contextual information, owners should monitor observable changes such as sleep cycles, eye contact duration, surface preferences, and mobility gradients. This ensures decisions are made with confidence and continuity. Ark Pet Hospital delivers a clinical partnership to pet families in New Brighton and across Minnesota which focuses on knowledge patience and visibility resulting in an active collaborative care approach from the first day.

Dr. Mary and the staff at Ark have been taking care of my now senior (17 yo) cat since he was a kitten. I trust that his current health as a senior has much to do with their care. Although my cat does not always enjoy trips to the vet (he's not the most social guy), the staff at Ark always try to minimize any stress and keep him comfortable. I really appreciate that!

I brought my rescue cat here twice: once for the newly adopted checkup, once for an injury. Both times I found the receptionist/check-in clerk to not be very friendly. I wasn't greeted either time, and I had to make sure she got me checked into be seen even though, again both times, I was the only one waiting. I found the vet to be not very warm with me or my pet. The first time I thought it could have been a long day and she was tired, but it happened both times. So... going to try another place.

Everyone was so kind and Dr. Mary Philippson took all the time we needed to walk us through the process. We picked up a cat that had been living on the street and the man who looked after her asked if anyone would be willing to take her in. We did and Mary took real good care of our Ayla and now she's a healthy indoor cat. Thank you all for being such a great clinic with friendly faces willing to assist. Wonderful staff too!

I highly recommend Ark Pet Hospital! We visited their New Brighton office recently when one of our senior cats fell ill. I am immensely grateful for the compassion and sensitivity that Dr. Mary and team provided throughout the situation. They are amazing folks who truly care. They were also very accommodating when we needed to make appointments. I was impressed that they provided a free account to their online portal, ePetHealth, where I can view my pet's medical history, tests, etc. This is a nice feature that I didn€t have with previous vet. I also appreciate that you can request appointment times online. Great pet services if you are in the Twin Cities Metro.

I brought my newly rescued cat here for his first checkup. The women at the front desk are very nice; Holly chatted on the phone with me once about some bad behavior my cat was exhibiting, she gave advice and I didn't feel her pressuring me to hang up (I'm a receptionist myself and know difficult long-winded people can be!). From the other positive reviews, I must have just had a negative experience with Dr. Mary, so factor in other's experiences along with mine. Mary seemed nice, very professional and was fond of my cat. I was excited about connecting with her because this was my first feline in my home and I've always had positive relationships with my past vets. Knowing it's controversial in the cat world and not actually planning on doing it with my cat, I asked about declawing, desiring a professional's thoughts on a procedure I knew little about. Instead I got a round-a-bout answer that didn't place her as hot or cold, and then treated me with slight contempt for the rest of the visit. I was confused and even interjected later to say that I wasn't actually interested in declawing. She seemed surprised and pleased with that, but I didn't like being given the cold shoulder because she had made assumptions. I looked up the procedure later, at least I know what it is now.I give this place an A-OK, others might like it but I simply won't be returning to this hospital for our animals. I want my vet to be a safe place to ask questions, as silly as they may seem in the eye of a professional.

Thank you Dr. Mary and staff!

The staff here is really nice, competent and caring. No question is dumb, they'll entertain anything you need to ask whether in person, by phone or email. I needed paperwork quickly for my rescue dog's first boarding stay and Ark's staff responded right away by email with what I needed, and even offered to contact the boarding place directly for me. The techs would always help me load my huge mystery mutt into the car when I was pregnant. Great people!!

Dr. Mary and her staff are great--A+My wife and I have kept them busy over the years. We have 3 giant Presa Canario guard dogs and 5 cats. In addition, we've had numerous reptiles over the years. We haven't exactly brought them the easiest clients over the years! But Ark Pet Hospital has always been great.I really can't say enough good things about them...but I'll try. Dr. Mary and her staff are not only very knowledgeable, they're also flexible, compassionate, friendly, and the pricing is fair. I've had two episodes that I'd like to share with Yelp which tells volumes about Dr. Mary and her team.First, we had an elderly cat, Edward, who ran into serious trouble in the end. It deteriorated to the point of putting him down. After almost 2 decades together, it was very hard to put Edward to sleep. Dr. Mary and one of her techs, Angie, actually came to our house and put Edward to sleep in his favorite chair. My wife and I are incredibly thankful for the compassionate help we received.Second, we had a horrible fight between two of our 150 pound dogs about two years ago. One of the dogs had life threatening injuries. Dr. Mary determined that they needed immediate surgical help from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Mary actually left her practice and helped us transport both of the injured dogs to the U of M for life saving attention. We couldn't have done it without her since these dogs now hated each other and couldn't ride in the same car...but they both needed to be seen by a surgeon immediately.Of course, they're also good at regular stuff like yearly checkups and shots!Thank you VERY much, Ark Pet Hospital!-Daddy Maxx Retro

Dr. Philippson is very friendly, knowledgeable and seemed genuinely concerned about my cat. Ark Pet Hospital is a much more friendly alternative to other Veterinary Hospitals.

I brought my foster dog here today for a check-up and a few tests. The staff was very welcoming and compassionate from beginning to end & the vet was very nice and knowledgeable. I'm not sure what their prices are like, being that I was there with a foster dog (who's expenses are billed to the rescue group).. but I would assume that they are somewhat reasonable. If you live in the area.. I would recommend checking this place out.. :)

Dr. Mary and her staff are caring. They have helped us with numerous pets through the years. Our pets are healthy thanks to the professional care at Ark. When it came to the difficult decisions to be made with Tiger the cat--the staff was more than caring, understanding and sensitive. They laid out all options and helped us make the right choices for our family and Tiger in his final days.

Dr. Mary and her staff are very caring. They take the time to know you and your pet. We had to put our beloved dog Rico down and I am so glad that we completed the procedure with Ark Pet Hospital. It was one of the toughest things we have had to do, and they were extremely supportive and went far beyond our expectations. They are great with our new puppy Percy. He loves every visit. Thanks for everything!

I have brought my dog here for a number of years and am always amazed at how wonderful he is treated. From the second I walk in the door the staff recognizes me and they are always excited to see my dog. They make you feel like you are really important to them and not "just another number". The prices are fair and I am often given estimates re. what the treatments, etc will cost so I have some idea as opposed to them just doing things and handing me a large bill at the end that I am not prepared for. Dr. Mary is wonderful and always willing to see us problems large or small, and makes sure that my boy is taken care of. They are a small business which is great because I feel like they have really gotten to know us and want to make a difference in my dog's life. I highly recommend them!

I brought my dog Merlin in a few weeks ago, for his annual exam and vaccinations. I was very please with how knowledgable and friendly the staff and Dr. Mary Philippson the veterinarian were to me and my dog. They made me feel like the genuinly cared about me and Merlin and not that we were just another "number" passing through the door. They mentioned that Merlin needed his teeth cleaned and I found that they were willing to give me an estimate to take home, and I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the price was and it even included bloodwork before they put him under anesthesia. I will definately be using Ark Pet Hospital as my clinic in the future.
