Preventive care

We are forever grateful for Noah’s! My husband and I have had our maltipoo siblings for 12 years. In 2021 the female maltipoo was diagnosed with Cushings disease and unfortunately passed in December 2022. Her brother was not handling the pass well, so we decided to bring in two puppies to try and give him some comfort and company while we were away at work. Of course with owning puppies, comes the need to spay and neuter them- so we turned to Noah’s for their care! I was so anxious to drop them off (likely some PTSD from the recent passing of our girl) and begged to pick them up the same day. The staff member relayed that it was very unlikely that I would be able to pick them up that evening due to a busy same-day surgery schedule. I’ll admit that I was pretty adamant that I wanted to get them. Dr. Amber was made aware of our situation and worked hard to get them fixed and in recovery so we could pick them up before they closed. My husband and I were able to rest easy that night knowing they were at home with us and in the best hands during the day of surgery/recovery. I would recommend Noah’s and Dr. Amber/her team to anyone! I am so grateful for the empathy and care that they have shown us and our fur babies! Also- a huge shoutout to Novely (a vet tech) for keeping me updated on their status, for your prayers, and for keeping my nerves calmed during the day. We appreciate you so much!

My family has been going to Noah’s Ark animal hospital for years and they have always been fantastic! On Tuesday, we took our cat in for annual shots. He had an adverse reaction to one of the vaccines. Noah’s Ark was able to get us in today (Wednesday) within an hour an half of calling in and didn’t even charge for an office visit (just the cost of the steroid shot). Vet wanted a call back that evening to make sure kitty was doing okay. Very impressed with the care we received today! It’s rare to find people/a place that care so deeply about the people they help. Very grateful we came across Noah’s Ark years ago! 10/10 recommend

Noah’s Ark is my dogs second home. The staff is so kind and sweet to my pups. Always wants what’s best for them and the few times we’ve had to come in for an emergency they’ve always fit us in and protected my babies. They are very understanding of my dog reactive dog also. Make accommodations and help us keep the situation calm while loving on my dog.

I have been going to Noah's Ark over 36 years. Since they have grown in popularity it is getting harder & harder to receive the service that was once given. You can almost seldom get through on the phone line & when you do you are placed on hold for a good 15 to 20 minutes & most of the time your call is disconnected, so you have to do it all over again. Also, it is a shame they do not offer ER care anymore & send a person to the University ER where that place is too expensive for the regular person. We will have to see how things go after Dr. Greg & Dr. Terry retire at the end of the year, if the same kind of family atmosphere is kept or if things get worse. Thank you Dr Greg & Dr Terry for being there for myself & my family's animals over the years. Enjoy your retirement, because you have certainly earned it.

I love them! I have a tortoise and my local vet doesn't work with reptiles. In panic I called any vet I could around me that could and would work with reptiles. I called them today about her broken beak and they were able to get me in-today. They quickly, and compassionately took care of her and her beak. All staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be taking my tortoise there any time she needs vet care.
