ARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL

Absolutely, wonderful and fabulous! Yes you probably should make an appt. Yes plan on being there a few hours but the staff is genuinely friendly and the prices are fantastic. Everyone can't always afford the expenses involved in being a fur parent but Ark gives you a chance to get medical care for them babies....My oldest cat "Love" is ALIVE because of the service and positive energy that exudes from the heart of these animal people...MY kind of PEOPLE...❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been bringing my 6 cats here for the past year bc they’re affordable, nearby, friendly, and in the list of recommended vets from my nearest shelter. Got 5/6 of my cats fixed here. They helped with my cat’s wound infection and ringworm. They’re ever expanding the front reception area to accommodate more customers. They accept walk-ins when appointments are booked. So here’s why I’m only rating it three stars. The clinic is SMALL. First, the parking is incredibly limited with a fence that limits it even more. I have half a mind to knock it down after bumping my (compact!!!!) car on it. The reception area is UNCOMFORTABLE. It echoes all the loud transit from outside which scares my poor cats and the benches are too narrow and too hard it’s uncomfortable sitting there over an hour. It needs more comfort especially since sometimes walk-ins can take up to 5 hours of wait time because appointments are booked for the next month, and it’s such agony it’s made me seriously consider looking for other clinics. I recommend either booking an appointment a year in advance or calling to see how many vet techs are actively there the day you wish to walk in. Or be the first to walk in at 8:30am, and I say 8:30 bc sometimes they don’t open at 8am on the dot. From what I’ve seen, lots of dogs come to the clinic, with the occasional cat in their carrier so keep that in mind if your cats are anxious. There is a consultation fee of $40 (plus an extra percent if you pay by card) you must pay up front before they take your pet to the back room, and any added fees like prescriptions and lab work are calculated after. Oh and if you have a voucher for spays/neuters they only accept the discount coupon not the free spay/neuter certificate. As for the services themselves: they’re fine. Reception is nice. Vaccines are done quickly. They call you once your pet has woken up post-spay/neuter. The vets are kind, bilingual, and clear with diagnostics.

This is a great place for ant pet care need. We have been coming here for many years and the staff is amazing. Prices are also very affordable. I live that you can now schedule appointments, makes things run smoother but they also still take walk ins.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! I came here because my usual vet was unable to take in my dog. They gave me a list of places to try so I called and decided to come in due to being the most "affordable". My dog was peeing blood and had diarrhea. I waited for about 2 hours and didn't even get to see the vet for more than 5 minutes. The tech was the one going back and forth to communicate. They brought out a huge list of tests they wanted to run on my SENIOR dog amounting to almost $1k. My actual Vet has always preached about doing minimal tests on senior dogs unless absolutely necessary. The Vet barely even touched my dog before stating the worst case scenario. I opted for the stool/urine sample and a shot of antibiotics. They asked me to wait another 2 hrs so they could get the sample and still they got nothing for the stool one. They took forever to bring my dog out to me after that. I was told I'd receive a call to confirm if my dog had a UTI. I had to call 5 days after just to get a response. The vet simply told me "Yeah she has an infection." THATS IT! She didn't mention treatment until I asked. She had given me attitude since the moment I didn't agree to all the expensive testing. She said someone would call me to confirm the pricing for antibiotics and nobody ever did. My dog got much better after so I didn't even bother to call. Literally the worst vet ever. They claim to be affordable but they find ways to take your money!

The vet care is ok and the staff is nice. They are the local vet in my area, and no matter they changed ownership I decided to continue using them, usually with good results. However they are very disrespectful about the time of the clients. If you are coming here, be ready to waste hours of your day. *Making an appointment does not make a big difference vs if you come as a walk in, in my experience. *The staff will program appointments, but the vet will cancel the app after 1 hour you and you no happy dog have spent 1 hour in in the waiting room, because they made a mistake and the app was programmed by mistake early than doctor instruction. That happened to me and my dog last Friday. Nobody apologized. *they will program an appointment at 1:30pm, but that is the time for the vet to go to lunch, so you need to wait. Why they don’t program the appointment in coordination with the lunch time? *they will tell you to come at 8:00 am, however you will also learn that the vet will be there around 9:30am, and they will take care of you around 11am. I do think they can improve.
