How We Care
Small Animal Services
Because our pets age more quickly than we do, ARK stresses the importance of regular physical examinations. Thorough check-ups allow for earlier detection of potential problems and preventive care helps maintain a healthy, happy pet. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:
Anesthesia
We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
Bathing / Grooming
Medically warranted grooming and therapeutic bathing services are available. No specialty cuts are done; we recommend a groomer for those needs.
Behavioral Counseling
We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression. Great information is also available through The Dumb Friends League. Choose from the services they offer and select behavior help, look for the handouts.

Preventative Health Care Plans for individuals

Laser
Therapeutic laser is becoming popular in human as well as veterinary medicine. It allows for penetration of deep tissues and promotes blood flow, pain relief and expedited healing.
Underwater Treadmill
An excellent adjunct to rehabilitation therapy or helping pets to lose weight. The underwater treadmill provides resistance training to improve muscle mass. It takes excessive pressure off of joints to make exercising easier in overweight patients. In pets recovering from neurological disease or surgery, it can be used to "re-teach" muscles and nerves how to properly function.
