The veterinarians and vet assistants are amazing. I have had nothing but great experiences with them. There is one front office lady that is incredibly rude. She makes it very uncomfortable to keep taking my animals there. She has been rude numerous times and each time I have given her the benefit of the doubt. This last time I called to cancel an appointment ( 24 hours in advance) and I thanked her for cancelling and before I even finished my sentence she hung up on me. She has done this a couple of other times in the past. I don't want to throw her name out there but she really needs to find a new job. She is not cut out for customer service and definitely not in a vet office. She is unkind, unsympathetic, snotty and rude. read more

Ark Animal Care - A wonderful sympathy card from some wonderful people! - Veterinarians Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

Kari at Ark Animal Care is the best vet I've ever taken my cats to. She is thoughtful and very qualified. The rest of the staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable. They provide great service and both helpful and honest insight. One of the staff members, Amanda, even helped us research how to bring our cat with us as we move internationally (which can be a lot of work!). The staff there treat each animal as if it were their own. Knowing I can trust them to do what's best for my pet makes each visit that much easier. Thank you Ark Animal Care staff for all you do! read more

Ark Animal Care - Veterinarians Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

If you want your pet to have the care of a vet who is dedicated and truly cares, will go above and beyond to find the right diagnosis, but not put you or your pet through unnecessary tests or unneeded vaccines, because she's not out there to rip off anyone but to do what is best for your pet - then this is the vet for you. Keri Sanders is a walking encyclopedia who knows how to explain in English that we can understand, and also has a heart of gold. Her prices are more than fair, and I sometimes feel like I want to leave her more! The staff is always courteous, friendly, and helpful. She will even do a house call for a reasonable fee. This vet is a true gem, and we are so lucky to have her right here in Stayton. read more

We have a 15 year old dog that is suffering. We called Ark Animal Care and talked to the veterinarian herself and was quoted a price for her to come out and put our pet to sleep. A lady at the front desk called the next day to verify the appointment, then gave us a completely different price (of course in their favor). I expressed to the receptionist that I was not happy to be quoted two different prices. I stated my frustration in how wrong that is to do to someone and a suffering animal. So, I told the lady whatever just be at my house at the time and continue on with the appointment no matter the price. They called back a few hours later and the receptionist very rudely told me "we are not going to be able to make that appointment, you are going to have to go somewhere else." It is appalling that greed came over the care of an animal! I was very devastated that a veterinarian would treat a suffering animal in such a way. read more

Dr Sanders is the best vet in the area! She goes beyond the call of duty when caring for our fur-ever babies. She cried with me when I had to make the decision to end my dog's life due to cancer who was in horrible pain. She takes in strays that need care even without payment. She does have a SOS fund which we donate to when she needs help with the tests, etc. She is very compassionate, caring, and a good person. You will not be disappointed in her care. read more

I contacted Ark Animal Care the Friday before Christmas with an emergency. My cat had had kittens the night before and her uterus had prolapsed. When I called they told me they didn't have any appointments but kindly asked if I'd tried anywhere else yet. At this point I was a little emotional because I had tried one other place which had been very rude and unsympathetic. I told the woman I was talking to this and she asked me to hold on for a second. When she came back she told me that she had spoken to the vet and that they would squeeze me in at 4:00 if I couldn't get in somewhere else sooner. She said that the vet urged me to take the soonest available appointment I could find. She then gave me contact information for 6 other clinics that I could call to find help. I ended up not needing to keep my appointment as I found help before that time but am tremendously thankful for the kindness and professionalism shown to me by Ark Animal Care. I would recommend them to anyone in this area and am sure we will be using them in the future. read more
