How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ark Veterinary Hospital
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

The entire hospital from start to finish is one of the most pleasant experiences we have had with a Veterinarian office. Everyone is knowledgeable, kind, take their time to explain and explore options with you. That includes when you call in with a question, they are happy to give you options, things to look out for if you indeed need to make an apt. They take the medical stress off of my dog mom mind by sharing thier knowledge. Everyone is so pleasant to interact with. I have mostly seen Dr Kate and can't rave enough about this woman-go read her bio on their website, she's simply passionate about what she does. I can't recommend making a switch to Ark Veterinarian Hospital more. We are happy to drive an hour to get the quality care we receive. From one happy dog/rat mom to the next.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ark vet. There’s a few things that stick out to me. The way they make appointments. They don’t have multiple animals sitting in the office waiting to be called back. Which for us reactive dog owners is such a blessing! They are fear-free certified. It is a peaceful, easy visit every time! They are always so friendly and kind at the front desk and on the phone. Crystal is someone I’ve spoken to numerous times and she’s an absolute doll! Zero hesitation in asking the Dr. quick questions to help alleviate any stress or potential expensive unnecessary vet visits. But when visits are needed and/or urgent, they’ve gotten us in either that day or the next! The doctors and vet techs themselves are also so kind, knowledgeable, and truly care about each and every patients well being. My boy is one of the few that truly does better with me there with him. When the staff recognized that, they went as far as putting a note about that in his chart for us. While I know working with animals can be a thankless job and I’m sure y’all leave work many days still carrying the emotional stress home with you. So I can’t thank you enough for all y’all do. We travel for work so I’ve been to several different vets and so I mean it when I say y’all outrank them by tons! Wonderful facility, wonderful staff!

The Dr and staff have a great attitude and compassion for their patients and their owners!! They explained everything to me, and I felt like she cared about explaining what was going on with my dog 🐕 Brodee.. I am so glad that I switched over to Ark..

I’ve only had wonderful experiences here. I moved to town with a puppy, was referred and have been extremely happy. I always feel 100% safe with everyone there. After a few visits my dog was neutered and I was extremely nervous after past experiences but the vet called after with a very personal and thorough report and he healed beautifully. Love it here and so does Owen:)

So I want to say that we have had NOTHING BUT FANTASTIC, absolutely the best care from the team at ARK since we started going here and when we lost our puggle Buddy ARK reached out to us and said how sorry they where for our loss, in addition to sending us a beautiful card, The entire staff treats our babies like they belonged to them. We can't thank them enough, and as long as we own pets ARK will forever be our babies vet..
