Welcome to Ark-Aid Veterinary Centre
All domestic and exotic pets are catered for in a caring and professional environment, by a dedicated team of vets and nurses. We have a well equipped surgery (see facilities page) and plentiful free parking.
Our long established practice in the heart of Canford Heath has always looked after feline and canine (cat and dog) patients to a high clinical standard. Over recent years We have recognised the need in Dorset for increased services in the field of exotics (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, reptiles and, other small mammal and aquatics) to the point where we now have a vet with a special interest and expertise in this subject who is studying for certificate level exotic animal medicine and surgery. This qualification incorporates all aspects of avian, reptilian, small mammal and aquatic medicine and surgery (see exotics page).
Within this site you will find information about how to find us, who we are and our facillities. If you cannot find what you are looking for, then do not hesitate to call us on 01202 602766. A form for repeat prescriptions is also available.
