Ark Veterinary Centre Limited

Ark Veterinary Centre Limited is an employee-owned, independent five-centre mixed practice. Based on its own service descriptions, it’s set up for both everyday pet care and more complex work across small animals, equine, and farm animals, with in-house diagnostics plus surgical and hospitalisation facilities. Recent reviews back up that range with specific examples including treatment for a dog with stomach cancer, a surgical operation with “before, during and after” care, urgent stitches after an attack where the pet was seen “nearly straight away,” and an emergency fish-hook removal from a dog’s throat. Several owners also describe supportive end-of-life care, including a home euthanasia and help around collecting ashes.
