How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ark Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Ark animal clinic is the best. I can tell how much they all care. They go the extra mile to make my boy feel as comfortable as can be. Rocky loves Dr.Long, he was eagerly waiting for him to come in and examine him 😸

I’ve been taking my felines for their health care to Ark Animal Clinic since 2012. The staff and doctors always very attentive and genuinely caring. There were times I had to say goodbye to my furry kids, they’ve been supporting me through those hard times and did the pet cremation process for my family. Right now all my boys , Jerry Peepers, Tinker and Benson are happy with Dr. Long and his team’s care.

I just started going here. Friendly and helpful staff. I feel like my babies are in good hands. Update: The receptionist was not super friendly today. I've interacted with her before and she had been okay, not great, but okay, but today she bordered on rude. She didn't say hello when I walked in, ask how my day was or anything like that. She was helping someone else and when she finished she just said that I was to go into the room and wait. She showed me to the room and left. When it was time to check out she just gave me the price, again no pleasantries or small talk. I was to make another appointment which was met with the same curt tone of voice. She didn't thank me, say goodbye or wish me a good evening as I was leaving. In my opinion that's horrible customer service. The vet tech was at the front desk and I guess she must have picked up on the rudeness of her coworker because she did take the time to thank me and wish me a good evening. The vet tech and the vet himself, as they were both lovely are the only reason I'm not subtracting stars. But they rude one gets one ⭐ only.

FIRST VISIT The Good- Efficient staff, professional. Seems above-board and so on. Will update. The Bad- Why do these places always seem to have only dog treats?? My new kitten (see photo) could have used something... The Tip- Will update after a few visits.
