When Every Second Matters

When your beloved companion experiences a medical emergency, immediate access to The Ark Veterinary Specialists’ emergency hospital ensures expert intervention when time is most critical. Our facility maintains comprehensive staffing and sophisticated resources to address severe, urgent situations requiring immediate medical attention.

Our Critical care approach

Upon arrival at The Ark Veterinary Specialists with your critically ill or injured pet, our extensively trained emergency veterinary team immediately initiates assessment protocols. Initial evaluation includes vital sign monitoring and rapid stabilization procedures. Cases requiring intensive intervention are seamlessly transferred to our specialists—veterinary critical care with advanced training in managing life-threatening emergencies.

Our criticalists possess specialized expertise in crisis medicine and utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and therapeutic technology to identify underlying pathology and implement evidence-based treatment solutions rapidly.

The ICU

Throughout your pet’s critical care episode, our dedicated support team provides continuous surveillance within our specialized intensive care units. These ICUs are meticulously designed to ensure patient comfort and safety while incorporating sophisticated monitoring systems that track vital parameters, including oxygenation status, electrolyte balance, glycemic levels, and additional critical physiological markers.

A team approach.

When it comes to managing your pet’s health crisis, we’ve got a whole team behind the critical care team.

In addition to the criticalist and specialized vet technicians, we have other veterinary specialists who may step in after diagnosis. These specialists include cardiologists, oncologists, veterinary internists, and others.

Our team also works closely with your primary care vet to ensure your pet receives continuous monitoring and stays on the road to recovery.
