Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At The Ark Animal Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.
Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet's health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results. Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet's health through laboratory and diagnostic testing. Annual blood testing helps us determine a normal baseline for your pet.
Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments. Although we handle the majority of your pet's medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.

Take you pets to this vet hospital! I was referred here because my primary vet was scheduled out 3 weeks and I needed my dog seen. MINDY at the desk is WONDERFUL! Everyone here seems to care for and have a genuine interest in my pets' health and quality of life. Costs are very reasonable and they even advised I shop Chewy for a more cost effective price on prescription meds for my pets. Everyone has been so friendly and seem to be passionate about their work. Highly recommend if you are looking for a vet.

Just wow! I’m so blown away by the customer service at this Vet! When I made my appt. I spoke with Danny, a super funny totally upbeat person. Had my appointment and the vet techs were all smiles, seriously. Dr. James Golden did the exam and stitches at lightning speed. I totally thought this would be a fluke, but when I called back the next day with a question, Mindy greeted me by my name (I didn’t give it) and put me on with Dr. Golden immediately. Animals are my world and this was the first time I needed one that specialized in reptiles. So happy to know I have a back up for my non-reptile

Our new kitty Jade had a pressing but non urgent issue that we wanted to address ASAP, and the Ark was able to fit us in on the same day we called!! The nurse we worked with, I believe her name was Tiara, was so sweet, good with the kitty, and really knew her stuff. Her and the doctor were helpful in getting us the right care for Jade, at a super affordable price. Definitely will be coming back.

I have two small very friendly dogs that had to take a temperament test after spending over 800.00 in annual vaccinations they performed a temperament test and said they failed, they went to another location and their boarding place for the same thing and passed with flying colors they were so lazy that one of our animals was a senior that they did not want to deal with him and failed them both to avoid watching them for a weekend. My dogs are the nicest dogs ever with people and other dogs! This place is super lazy

Staff are always cheerful and helpful whenever we come in, and always do their best to make our dog as comfortable/happy as possible. If you have additional questions, they always make sure the vet calls you back later the same day to answer them. Pricing is reasonable for the services offered, and the staff is always willing to give you an accurate estimate about the cost of anything.

I just adopted a dog, she has now been here twice and will return in a few weeks for shots. I LOVE this place! My cats don’t have a set in stone regular vet because I’ve never found one nearby that I really liked that much. The Ark has been extremely transparent about pricing, their pricing is very fair and they are expedient with care. The technicians are so friendly and sweet with my nervous dog and make both of us comfortable. Will definitely bring my cats here in the future.

I just moved nearby, and was so worried when I needed an exotic vet for my chameleon immediately after my move to a new area! The staff here are extremely kind, communicate clearly, and are overall very helpful. Chameleons can be notoriously difficult to work with, and they took in my female panther chameleon and got her what she needed to overcome an infection in no time. They even scheduled her follow up, and rolled the re-check appointment fee into my initial bill, so I don’t have anything to worry about upon my second visit. Their prices were very reasonable, particularly for an exotic vet

Question...
If your sibling was a veterinarian, wouldn't they be your pets veterinarian?
Well that... that's what this is.
The Ark animal hospital is like when your cousin is a teacher so instead of looking up Homeostasis, you call up your cousin Taju who teaches science at the High school.
I'm telling you, this is that! When there was any question at all I knew the answer was coming from this place. So of course when it's time for my doggy daughter's anything I'm gonna go to my cousins. It's an animal hospital filled with sisters and brothers, and aunts

I have brought a few of my pets here over the years, and they are in a great location for Midtown and have had good results in the office during those visits.
I let my dog's vaccinations get out of date, and when I asked about it, the person was quite rude and made me feel worse than I already felt about it. So they are an ok vet but get ready for the guilt trip if you are late with vaccinations. Their front desk needs some customer service training.

I've brought my dog here since she was a puppy over 9 years ago. THAT should speak volumes. But we've also been bringing our 1 year old doodle puppy here since we got her, too. They are always reasonable on price and we adore the staff. They know our dogs since we've been coming here for so long and are always excited to see them, which I really appreciate.

Worst Vet or Animal Hospital in the entire state of GA. Piss poor service. I've sat outside waiting for my puppy for over an hr after being told she was ready. Was charged all these additional fees even a late fee but I had an appointment. They took 20 minutes just to come out to get my dog which I had an appointment for. Was charged over $200 for a basic checkup of stool and eyes. Makes no sense. Only reason you would want to go here is to be swindled out of your money and your time substantially wasted.

AVOID THIS PLACE. Not even worthy of one star. Our 9 month old puppy started vomiting, having difficulty breathing, and was oddly drooling all over herself. My husband and I scooped her up and rushed her down the street to The Ark Animal Hospital because on their website it says they accept ER walk in's from 7pm-8pm. We pulled up and ran in. Keep in mind the large neon "Open" sign was on as well as their listed ER hours, and we were at the reception desk at exactly 7:26pm. We told the receptionist what was going on and she said "well we're closed the doctor already saw

I've been taking my sheepdog Walter to Dr. Johnson since he was just a tot, and he loves her and all the staff very much. It's funny - even when he's going in for shots, an ear infection, etc., he is just as excited to see them as he is when I take him to the dog park or doggie daycare. This place is really solid - they are very kind, pragmatic in their treatment plans, honest, and very knowledgeable and thorough. They also seem like very cool and real people. I can't say enough good things about this place - you know you have the right veterinarian's office when your pet

Great place to take your pet. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon after finding a kitten I really wanted to keep. If you have an emergency, these hours are useful. There was only a 5 minute wait, after filling out paperwork. They did a check up, which was $69. The vet (and all staff) are very friendly and personable.
Oh, and there are student discounts available. But if you get a package with vaccination bundles, apparently it's about the same price.
My only complaint is it was very warm in the waiting area and exam room, I won't deduct any stars for that. But a fan would be nice :

Everyone is nice but buyer beware!
Took our dog in due to an insulin spike and after spending over $500 on an emergency visit, they recommended we spend another $1500 to treat him with no guarantee that he would make it. According to the 'vet' that was the only thing that would give him a chance to live.
We took him home and the next day took him to the humane society where they adjusted his insulin and was back to his normal self in a couple days!
It's a shame. We've been taking our dog here for a couple years but will have to consider other options going forward!
