What Reviews Say

96 reviews analyzed

VCA Noah's Ark is highly praised for its compassionate staff and specialized care for exotic pets like rats and reptiles. While the facility excels in end-of-life empathy and general friendliness, there are significant recurring concerns regarding diagnostic accuracy and owners feeling ignored during critical health crises. Pricing is a point of contention, with several clients reporting high costs and a feeling of being 'upsold' unnecessary services.

Worth noting

Misdiagnosis of life-threatening conditions (Parvo/Seizures)

Surgical complications/Post-op negligence

“They butchered my dogs neutering, which caused the ‘worst scrotal hematoma they’ve ever seen’... a day later it ruptured.”

Dismissive attitude toward owner concerns(4 mentions)

“It is not good customer service to discard out of hand what I think is wrong with my dog.”

Aggressive upselling/High costs(5 mentions)

“I’m so tired of being upsold medicine and services after a five minute tech exam.”

Communication errors regarding vaccines/diets(3 mentions)

“The vet tech verified he was to be given parvo, rabies, and influenza after i specifically told them no rabies.”
