Veterinary Services

MEDICINE

David is an experienced veterinarian providing clinical examinations, suggestions on preventive strategies, and gives logical advice.

At The Ark, we offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic services.

Most tests are performed in-house and will yield same day results.

Specialists are often consulted for more complex procedures, and diagnoses and treatment options are discussed fully with our clients, so that the best possible quality of life can be achieved for your companions.

SURGERY

Veterinarians at The Ark operate every week day, doing surgeries such as, but not restricted to:

desexing
lump/tumour removals
dentistry
cruciate and patella surgeries
eyelid surgeries
fine needle aspirates
biopsies and cytology

Most surgeries are done as day surgeries, so that our patients go home the same day. Complex surgeries are performed by specialist Dr. Geoff Robins.

DENTISTRY

Healthy gums and teeth are important for good health, and are often overlooked.

Dentistry is a large and important part of our surgical practice. We offer general descaling and polishing as well as performing extractions and dental assessments as required.

Prevention strategies are discussed and encouraged to reduce the need for your pet to have an anaesthetic.

BEHAVIOUR

We are firm believers in puppy classes, and exercising your pets' minds as well as their bodies. Rewarding positive behaviour and being consistent are principles we reinforce.

We can assist with issues such as:

anti-social and destructive conduct
aggression and separation anxiety

WEIGHT CONTROL

At the Ark we have developed our own weight control program, designed to help your pets stay within a healthy weight range.

Regardless of diet, whether commercial or home-cooked, our program can prescribe the right amount to feed, bones to give, treats to use, and a feeding routine.

Regular weigh-ins, encouragement and feeding advice specifically tailored to your needs will help your pet to achieve an ideal weight.

IMAGERY / ENDOSCOPY

Digital xrays, ultrasound, and endoscopy are available diagnostic modalities at The Ark. Each has its own use in particular circumstances and can help in arriving at a diagnosis.

CAT BOARDING

We board cats at the surgery in air-conditioned comfort. Bookings are essential.
