Ark Life Veterinary

We absolutely love Dr. Max! After doing lots of research, I brought my newly retired JFK beagle mix here in search of his forever vet — and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Dr. Max is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. Recently, my dog had a mass removed from his head, and the entire experience — from consultation to recovery — was seamless, organized, and thorough. The whole team at Ark Life is hands-on and caring, with a special shoutout to Ivette at the front desk for being so helpful! Finding the right long-term vet was really important to me since my dog is a senior, and I’m so grateful we’ve found Buk’s forever safe haven!

A year ago, our beloved Chihuahua had a heart attack. We came to this clinic in an emergency, and thanks to the professionalism and care of the clinic director Dr. Max, our little friend was examined in time and referred to a cardiology center, which truly saved his life. Since then, we have continued to visit the clinic for regular check-ups and tests to monitor our dog’s health. Every visit confirms that this is a place where people genuinely care. The entire team works with great professionalism, kindness, and attention to every patient — reflecting the high standards set by the director. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and compassion, and we highly recommend this clinic to all pet owners who want the best possible care for their animals. With heartfelt thanks, Tatiana a

On Tuesday, October 7th, 2025 I brought my dog Jagger to see Dr. Max Lotovsky after he had been throwing up Dr. Max immediately suggested x-rays and quickly discovered that Jagger had likely consumed something he shouldn’t have. Once it was confirmed that something was stuck in his stomach, Dr. Max wasted no time he did bloodwork right away and immediately referred us to the Animal Hospital (VERG). Thanks to Dr. Max and his amazing staff acting so quickly, Jagger is still with us today. I am forever grateful to have a second chance with my baby. It was a traumatic experience, but Dr. Max’s care, attention, and swift action made all the difference. Jagger is now back home, resting and doing well. This experience was a powerful lesson, and it reminded me that my baby is worth every sin

Unfortunately my experience here declined over time. Both of my cats have been patients here since they were kittens. When my kitten had her first check up I expressed concerns about her ear and was given preventative treatment without a confirmed diagnosis. Over time, symptoms persisted and worsened, but the issue remained unresolved for nearly a year. During visits I shared observations such as black debris in her ear, difficulty chewing on food, preferring to eat on one side and frequent scratching at the ear in question. During her spay surgery, several months later after I insisted they check her ear under sedation, my cats ear was flushed without my explicit consent (I was not advised they’d preform a flush and the potential risks of a flush) When I picked her up from surgery I was

Absolutely amazing experience. I have been bringing my cat to see Dr. Lotovsky for several years. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. It’s pretty easy to make an appointment—usually there’s availability within a few days, and they can accommodate you if your pet has an emergency. I would also like to note that my cat’s insurance recently wrongly denied a claim, and Dr. Lotovsky wrote a great appeal letter in less than a day. The claim was approved! I am very happy with my experience at Ark Life so far.
