Positive Experiences
Many reviewers have had excellent experiences at Animal Ark Veterinary Clinic. They praise the friendly and caring staff, including the veterinarians and receptionists. The clinic's ability to handle anxious pets, provide clear explanations of treatment options, and offer compassionate care when saying goodbye to beloved animals are all highlighted as strengths.
Consistency of Service
One reviewer, Armeet Ghataora, notes that the clinic has consistently provided exceptional service throughout the years, from caring for a hamster to an anxious cat. Beverley Knight also mentions that the clinic has been a great place to care for her pets over the years, trusting their advice and being confident in their ability to diagnose and explain conditions.
Attention to Detail
Paul Leach's review stands out for its attention to detail, highlighting the kindness of the staff, the comfort of the veterinarian, and even the discomfort caused by the bright sunlight in the reception area. Other reviewers also mention the extra mile that the clinic goes to, such as Rachel's efforts to help and the provision of a little jumper for a cat.
Unprofessional Behavior
However, not all reviews are positive. Kat Cheshire had a particularly bad experience, citing a significant change in the clinic's behavior since COVID-19. They describe being lectured about their pets' origin and being charged exorbitantly for services. They also received inadequate care for their carrier and did not receive the expected sympathy card.
Disappointing Experience
Several reviews express disappointment with the clinic's high prices, with some reviewers feeling taken advantage of. Sarason Customer Service and Liudmyla Petrovskene both felt that the cost of their cat's checkup and medication was unexpectedly high. Aisha Anwar was upset by the rude behavior of a veterinarian who refused to see her cat due to being 7 minutes late.
