Ark Animal Hospital

Amazing place I would not go anywhere else. They take such amazing care of all of my furbabies! The Doctos are awesome!!!

My three year old boxer had bloody diarrhea and was vomiting. I came to the Ark with her and tests were run. I was told the vet took a day off on Thursday, so we would have to come back on a Friday morning first thing for more tests. I was then promised test results on Saturday morning. Two biopsies were negative for lymph cancer. Saturday no one ever called and when I tried to call, I was left on hold 20 minutes before I gave up. I had witnessed personnel putting calls on hold repeatedly and not checking back with them. The call never came before their office closed. By Sunday my poor dog peed blood a dozen times in an hour. Emergency vet could not treat without the test results and NONE of the prior test results had been given to me, only the BILL. First thing Monday morning I rushed my dog to the Ark, but by the time I got there she was DEAD! Now they want me to pay MORE and claim she died of cancer they claimed she didn't have! They are not even listed with the BBB.

My daughter dropped off a dog whom had got hit by a car. She had tried to locate owner before doing so on the way to work. All info was left with office but when she called to see about dog, was told she left the dog to die. This place does not need to be in this business.

I love Dr. Bowen. He is the best vet ever. He is an excellent surgeon and goes out of his way for his clients. He worked with the vet hospital at the University of Georgia to do chemo on my Chihuahua Dori so I wouldn't have to drive all the way to Athens every month. It took a lot of time and effort that he didn't get paid for. He has been my vet for 18 years, excluding the time I lived in Illinois. He works with animal rescue agencies and has since I started going there. 18 years ago he saved my first puppy from Parvovirus. Today I am taking my boyfriends dog there, because his vet has not been able to figure out what is wrong and I know Dr. Bowen will. My parents and my best friend only go to him. I have and will continue to recommend him to everyone I know.

We had been with the people at the ark for many years. About 8. We have taken all of our pets there and paid for all their treatment at time of service with no problem. We have spent thousands of dollars there. Our dog has arthritis and has been on the same medications for years. Recently we wanted to get his meds through an online service , because it was cheaper , and we are both unemployed right now. The vet did allow us to get one prescription at the online service, however they told me that they would no longer refill the sript untill we had a full blood workup. This would cost between 200 and 300 dollars.They would not offer a payment plan and told me that they didnt care , no refills till we did the exam. I reminded them that we are on a real tight budget and couldnt afford it right now. , they did not even show any empathy. When we went to get our records they didnt even try to help us, they just handed them over . We went to Dr Meeker at the Hiram Animal Hospital and she worked with us , and that is where we will go from now on.

We have used the clinic for years and have been treated excellently. We took our dog for grooming six months ag and he had the best grooming he's ever had,we will go nowhere else now.

I had to have my Harley put down as he suffered from kidney failure. Everyone there was kind and understanding and made the process as easy as possible. I will use them from now on!!

We initially took our dog to the Ark because of it's cute name and closeness to our house. After 3 visits and some time with their boarding facility, we are changing vets.



With other vets I have been to, their entire staff is usually very friendly and loving with the pets and owners. At the Ark, I always feel like I'm in the way or that another pet is more important than my pet. On our last visit, without really being told why, my dog and I sat in an examining room for over an hour waiting on the vet.



They have recently extended their hours to be open until 6 p.m. which is good for people who work but when you have to take time off work to take care of your dog and then are treated at best diffidently, you look for a vet that seems to enjoy caring for your pet...not one that leaves you waiting.
