Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  ARK Veterinary Services, Inc. is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical, dental care, chiropractic manipulation and Traditional Chinese Veterinarian Medicine (TCVM). Acupuncture, animal chiropractic, and rehabilitation is integral to patient care for recovery and for healing. We offer these services in addition and with regular patient care.
• Vaccination
  For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet when you enter the waiting room before and after appointments.
• Behavioral Counseling
  We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression. Great information is also available through The Dumb Friends League. Choose from the services they offer and select behavior help, look for the handouts.
• Nutritional Counseling
  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance. A proper diet is the basis of any good health plan for healthy living and your pet is no different!
• Comprehensive Examination
  Because our pets age more quickly than we do, ARK stresses the importance of regular physical examinations. Thorough check-ups allow for earlier detection of potential problems and preventive care helps maintain a healthy, happy pet. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best...

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Arthritis Treatment
  Tui-na, also called An-mo, is Chinese manual therapy used for preventing and treating disease. Tui-na practitioners use various manipulations applied to acupuncture points and meridians; or apply special limb-stretching movements to prevent and treat diseases. Tui-na or An-mo can regulate meridians, soothe joints and sinews, promote circulation of Qi and Blood, balance Zang-Fu organs and strengthen the body's resistance.These techniques of manual therapy have been successfully used for treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, Bi syndrome and osteoarthritis, disc problems, peripheral nerve paralysis, Wei syndrome (wasting and general weakness) and internal diseases. Both geriatric and pediatric patients are perfect candidates for Tui-na therapy.
• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  Dr. Garrett uses sterile stainless steel needles when she performs acupuncture. She uses them to tonify, sedate or otherwise manipulate the energy of the body. To elongate the effects of acupuncture, a couple of other methods are also used. These include electroacupuncture, aquapuncture (using Vitamin B-12, lidocaine, normal saline and/or homeopathic remedies), Moxa sticks used to warm acupuncture points when needles are in the points, acupressure, and finally surgically implantation of gold beads or wire into acupuncture points. This is an excellent choice for long-term problems such as hip dysplasia or arthritis.
