Ark Animal Hospital - Jacksonville, FL

My dog used to HATE going to the vet. I don’t know what has happened but ever since going here he no longer gets anxious and it’s not a hassle getting him in the doors to be seen. The tech was so nice and works so well with the animals and helped put my mind at ease. Cannot recommend this office enough!

The only vet that I've been to that whenever I have to take my dog my she's happy to go every time. My puppy gets so excited to see everyone, they are so nice. They do grooming too, Ms. Gaby is amazing, my dog always looks so cute when I pick her up.

Dr Maxwell is fantastic! First saw her in February for my dog's annual exam based on a friend's referral. Have a 12 year old rat terrier who is diabetic so that's always a concern. Last night he starting peeing with blood in the urine. Called the doctor this morning & even though she was slammed with appointments she said to bring him in. Thought we'd have to leave him, but she saw him right away, explained the treatment plan sedation, xrays etc & the cost. After an hour we went & had breakfast we went back & she delivered great news. A urinary infection so no surgery was going to be needed. Didn't waste money with unnecessary tests since she was able to diagnose from the sample we brought & the xrays she took. Provided medication & we were on our way. Following up in 10 days with just a urine sample. Maybe because we were an existing client we were able to get Willie in right away. Whatever the reason, Dr Maxwell & her staff are wonderful people & we thank them for their caring & compassion.

Ark Animal Hospital has provided top notch care for my dog-daughter. They are very attentive to her needs. They were able to provide my pup with an appoint immediately and also had the medication on hand for her. We didn’t have to wait and they were very patient with my fur baby and explained everything thoroughly. Dr. Maxwell even called just to follow up. I truly trust this place and recommend it to anyone with pets.

If I could give Ark more stars I would. Clean, professional environment. I love the entire team, and Dr. Maxwell is absolutely the best! I've been bringing my Papillon Ginger, here for a few years now. Everyone is always so attentive, caring, and willing to take the time to ensure every question is answered. I especially love and am grateful for Dr. Maxwell's attention to detail, and the time she takes to follow up on care. Although I know my Ginger is not her only patient, she always makes me feel like she is. I would not trust Ginger's care to anyone else! My husband and I, and Ginger thank the whole team.

My Mattie was very sick my neighbor recommended Ark Animal Hospital. Everyone was very nice to me and Mattie. I explained that I was retired and on a fixed income. The doctor came up with a plan to help my baby and stay within my budget. I even got free pills and free food to help. It took a couple of days but Mattie is feeling much better. Thank you for making her better.

I wish I could give them a thousand stars! Dr Maxwell and her staff are simply amazing! I arrived at Ark Animal Hospital with my 12 week old seriously ill puppy, Maggie. I had taken Maggie to another vet the day before because I was very worried about her, but that vet did nothing to help Maggie. In fact Maggie got critically worse later in the night. Dr Maxwell was recommended to me the next morning so I took her there. As soon as the vet tech I’m sorry I can’t remember his name took one look at Maggie he whisked her away. Maggie ended up spending several nights in their care. I have no doubt that Dr Maxwell saved Maggie’s life. The entire time Dr Maxwell stayed in contact with me giving me updates. She was so kind and took the time to explain Maggie’s condition to me. Now Maggie is thriving and playful. Two weeks later I had to board Maggie due to a previously scheduled trip. I decided to board her with the wonderful people at Ark. They took such good care of her! Maggie and I are so fortunate to have found Dr Maxwell and her wonderful staff. I have another 2 yr old pup and he will be switching to Dr Maxwell as well.

First time coming here and it went great. The lady at the front desk, the tech, and the vet were all very helpful and made sure to answer any questions we could think of. The animals come first and thats exactly what you want when picking a vet for your furry family member.

I have been bringing my three fur babies to Ark Animal Hospital since I moved to this side of Jacksonville. I have to say I feel very welcomed every time I take my babies for their vet visits. All three of the receptionists are friendly and greet us with smiles and make the experience inviting. Dr. Maxwell is a phenomenal veterinarian who always treats her patients with love and care. She always has her patients best interest at heart. P.S. I think its absolutely adorable how they have a chalk board set up near the receptionist desk with all their pet patients names written in the order they will be seen. :D
