Ella6 May 2025 I am a crazy-rabbit-lady of 4 that easily stresses over my rabbits' health. Last Saturday, when I had discovered the abscess Muffin had on his right-cheek, I was scared witless! Thanks to Animal Ark though and their team, I know now I can breathe easy. I finally feel like someone truly cares about the well-being of my fur-babies. I had a lot of questions that were answered. I am incredibly grateful for the level of communication and care that we received today. I look forward to bringing my other rabbits in for a wellness-check. Thank you so much again! Joanna Brown1 May 2025 Our sweet Mollie needed all her teeth extracted and for us it was unexpected and devastating. Dr. Paula Schuerer explained thoroughly how necessary it was for Mollie’s overall health and Mollie is now doing exceptional! The entire Animal Ark team is stellar! So caring, kind and professional. We are very grateful for Dr. Paula’s expertise, empathy and huge heart. Since moving to Franklin, we are extremely thrilled and blessed to have found Animal Ark Animal Hospital! Dan Alcock23 April 2025 Fantastic place. Very skilled and caring with fair pricing. We’ve consistently had good experiences with Dr Paula and the entire staff. Elizabeth Willett (Your Doula Liz)22 April 2025 Very kind and caring staff. They are not my vet but our best friend's, and they have handled their elderly cat so nicely, including getting her in to be seen on super short nitice (urgent issue) and teaching me how to administer fluids to the cat. If I ever needed to establish care with another vet, I wouldn't hesitate to come here. M A15 April 2025 This is an amazing place! Dr. Paula is top-notch & KNOWS her stuff. She has helped many of my animals with the oddest symptoms recover & thrive. She is thoughtful in her care and solutions and truly does what is best for the animal. The entire staff is the kindest, most helpful and caring group of people I've ever encountered. When I had to euthanize my dog, they were so sympathetic and extremely supportive. I've been in dog rescue for 25 years and can't recommend Animal Arc highly enough. Amanda Griffeth16 March 2025 My experience with Animal Ark has been great! My dog had a really overgrown and large nail to where the best course of action was to get her toe amputated. This was really scary for me especially because she is 11 going on 12. I had a lot of fears and wasn’t sure if she would even be able to walk like she used to. Animal Ark took her best care of her. Before the surgery they made sure a special anesthesiologist was there since she is an older dog and the anesthesiologist even reached out to me via text before the surgery to ask about my dog and calm any nerves I may have. I didn’t even ask for her to reach out, Animal Ark just did that as a courtesy which I thought was really great. It’s been a little over a month and my dog is walking amazing! No limp or anything! You can tell everyone there really cares about animals and wants to make the experience the best they can for both pet and owner. 10 out of 10 experience! I have made Animal Ark my primary vet!
