Get what you pay for???. Animal Ark used to be pretty awesome when they were in their old location and had only 1 Vet, Dr. Spindel. Since their move and new building was built it seems the cost for services has risen quite a bit and they've added 2 more vets so it's difficult to get consistent answers and treatments for your pets. I went to them for 8 years and finally decided to leave after one of my dogs was seen by all 3 vets multiple times and we got different answers on each visit. On those visits each vet told me I should have been doing this or that when the previous vet said nothing about it... all they had to do was read the dang records on my pet. On top of that, it surprises me that I've been there for 8 years and had multiple visits yet NO ONE that works there, including the vets, has a remote clue who my pets or I am when I walk in the door. It's pretty obvious they're starting to worry more about making money than being good at what they do, which is unfortunate. Heck, I went to the Arcadia Vet and they're not that great or sophisticated but at least they'd give your pet a quick follow up check in a timely manner and for free... Animal Ark charges you $40+ just to walk in the front door, which is ridiculous.

If you have money to waste and are more impressed by a nice building than servcies, then Animal Ark would work for you. However I'm more concerned with competative pricing and a vet who's consistent and knows who I am after 8 years.
