I had to bring my timid pup Charlie on a Saturday after she badly tore her dew claw. I was referred to Desert Ark since I couldn't bring her to her normal vet. Kathleen was so sweet on the phone and told me to come in right away. Everyone from start to finish was so friendly, timely, and professional. Dr. LaBarge and Brittany were very attentive and thorough with explaining Charlie's treatment plan. Dr. LaBarge even informed me to reconsider changing her diet for some possible risks to her health, which she didn't need to do but really went the extra mile to show she cares and knows what she's doing. Charlie doesn't love being separated from her owners but I didn't hear her make a peep when they took her back to treatment and fixed her up. I was in and out within 2 hours of calling them and, not that it matters because you do whatever you can when your dog needs help, but was also pleasantly surprised with how affordable treatment was. I was expecting $400 out the door for an emergency visit, but came in WELL under that. And they gave her a pink bandage, which was just so stinking Charlie and I are both so thankful for the Desert Ark team and Dr. LaBarge!

My sister took our dog there and they were very kind to him. Everyone was nice and pleasant and made sure our baby was comfortable. He unfortunately passed a couple of days later, but it was already the end for him. It was his time...He was well cared for while there. They were also able to see us the same day, without a prior appointment. Highly recommend this clinic.

Everyone in this office made a rough situation a little easier. I brought my 10 year old German shepherd for what we thought was possible hip or back pain and found out he had a mass that ruptured. Dr. Starr and her team were the most kind and compassionate. They were honest with us and loved my boy along side us to the very end. I grew up in animal rescue so I have euthanized many dogs but this was different because he was my baby. I cant thank the staff enough for making sure my baby was calm and comfortable until the very end.
