The easiest way is to call the clinic to book; you can also visit their website to enquire. For urgent issues, call ahead so the team can triage, and book grooming well in advance as appointments fill quickly.
Veterinary fees in Australia aren’t government‑regulated and Medicare doesn’t apply to pets, so consultation and treatment costs vary by clinic and case. Call the clinic for a current quote, and ask for an itemised written estimate for any procedure. After‑hours emergency services typically cost more, and having pet insurance or using payment‑plan options can help manage unexpected expenses.
Australian vet clinics commonly accept EFTPOS, Visa/Mastercard and tap‑and‑go (Apple Pay/Google Pay), and some support pet‑insurance gap claims or payment plans (e.g. VetPay, Afterpay, GapOnly). As policies vary by clinic, please call ahead to confirm what Ark Veterinary Hospital accepts.
They provide emergency triage and urgent care during opening hours—please call ahead so the team can prepare. For after‑hours emergencies, call to check availability; if they’re closed, seek a dedicated 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital.
