I brought my dog there for his allergies. The staff was kind and the vet Debbie Butler was knowledgeable, kind, caring, and took her time to explain things to me. I will definitely be going back for future appointments and would highly recommend Ark & Bark! View on Google (opens in new tab)

Worse experience EVER! I was told to bring my dog in at 5:30pm for teeth cleaning. It's now 12:27pm they won't let me see my dog. MaryAnn didn't even want to let me in. I understand things happen. Other dogs had problems. I should have been called. I've called 6 times and only… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
