Ark Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams at all life stages, including puppies, kittens, adults, seniors, and exotics. Our exams include weight checks, ear/eye evaluations, oral health assessments, skin/coat inspections, and abdominal palpation to detect early signs of illness or disease.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored for young pets, including scheduled exams at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. These packages cover vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, and personalized growth monitoring to ensure a healthy start in life.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes bi-annual exams for pets aged 7+ (or 5+ for giant breeds), with bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, and glaucoma screenings. We prioritize early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and organ dysfunction to maintain their quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations for dogs (Rabies, DHPP: Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) and cats (Rabies, FVRCP: Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia). These vaccines are essential for preventing life-threatening diseases and are updated annually as recommended.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing and prevention programs for dogs (and cats). Early detection through blood tests is critical, as untreated heartworm disease can be fatal. Our preventive medications are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and risk level.

We provide Flea & Tick Prevention treatments to protect pets from parasites that cause discomfort, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia. Our solutions include topical, oral, and environmental control options to suit your pet’s needs.

We offer Microchipping & Registration services with the HomeAgain database for permanent identification. This quick, painless procedure increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their families by storing your contact information in a national pet recovery network.

Our Nutritional Counseling includes personalized diet plans and weight management programs to address obesity-related issues like diabetes, joint problems, and organ strain. We educate pet owners on portion control, balanced nutrition, and healthy treats to extend their pet’s lifespan.

We perform Parasite Deworming through fecal testing and targeted treatments for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Regular deworming is critical to prevent discomfort, anemia, and secondary infections in pets of all ages.

Our In-House Bloodwork services include Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels to assess organ function, detect infections, or monitor chronic conditions. Fast results allow us to provide timely diagnoses for wellness exams or emergencies.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of routine senior care and diagnostic workups to screen for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, diabetes, and crystals. Early detection helps prevent discomfort and long-term complications in pets.

Annual Fecal Testing is performed to detect intestinal parasites like worms or protozoa. This simple test guides deworming treatments and ensures your pet remains healthy, especially during puppy/kitten stages or senior years.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for advanced diagnostics of fractures, tumors, foreign objects, heart/lung conditions, and orthopedic issues. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure and faster results than traditional film.

Our Ultrasound Imaging services diagnose abdominal organs, pregnancy, bladder stones, heart/lung abnormalities, and tumors. Unlike X-rays, ultrasounds offer real-time imaging without sedation for most pets, ensuring comfort during the procedure.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden issues like root infections, fractured teeth, or jawbone disease not visible during a visual exam. These radiographs guide precise treatments and improve outcomes for pets with oral pain or unexplained symptoms.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery for dogs, cats, and ferrets to prevent overpopulation, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and improve behavioral outcomes. Procedures are conducted with careful pain management and monitoring for a safe recovery.

We handle Foreign Body Removal surgeries for ingested objects (e.g., toys, bones) that cannot pass naturally. Early intervention prevents perforations or obstructions, which can be life-threatening if untreated.

We provide C-Section services for complicated deliveries due to dystocia (labor difficulties), small litters, or maternal health risks. Our surgical team ensures the safety of both mother and puppies/kittens during these procedures.

Our Wound & Laceration Repair services include suturing cuts, bites, or surgical incisions with sterile techniques. We monitor healing progress and provide pain management to ensure a smooth recovery for your pet.

We offer Emergency Stabilization for critical cases like trauma, poisoning, or collapse, including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and diagnostic testing. Our goal is to stabilize pets before transferring them to specialty care if needed.

Our Hospitalization services provide round-the-clock monitoring for pets requiring IV fluids, medications, or recovery post-surgery. Our compassionate staff ensures comfort and vigilant care during their stay.

We administer Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress (e.g., asthma, smoke inhalation) using specialized cages or nasal tubes. This life-saving treatment improves oxygen saturation until the underlying cause is addressed.

Our IV Fluid Therapy supports hydration, electrolyte balance, and medication delivery for dehydrated pets or those undergoing anesthesia/surgery. We tailor fluid types (e.g., lactated Ringer’s) to your pet’s specific needs.

We provide Pain Management with multimodal approaches, including injectable, oral, or topical medications tailored to your pet’s condition. Post-surgical pain control is a priority to ensure their comfort and mobility during recovery.

We treat Poison & Toxin exposures (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticides) with induced vomiting, activated charcoal, IV fluids, or chelation therapies. Early intervention improves outcomes for pets ingesting harmful substances.

We offer Acupuncture as a complementary therapy for pain relief (e.g., arthritis), anxiety, and rehabilitation. Our certified practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate healing and improve mobility in chronic conditions.

Our Cold Laser Therapy accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain for injuries or post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive treatment is safe and effective for pets of all ages.

We provide Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, including underwater treadmills (hydrotherapy), massage, and exercises to restore strength after injuries or surgeries. Our programs are customized for orthopedic, neurologic, or geriatric pets.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for senior or terminally ill pets using tools like the HHHHHMM scale (Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Happiness, Mobility, More Good Days). This helps guide compassionate end-of-life decisions.
