As the cold and flu season approaches, pet owners often wonder if their pets can catch these illnesses too. The answer is yes - pets can indeed catch colds and flu, though the viruses that affect them are typically different from those that infect humans.
Your pets can be your best friend or part of the family, we understand this and we are committed to providing the highest quality in veterinary services and support. That is why the expert team of veterinarians at Animal Ark Vets have put together general pet advice to cover topics such as neutering, travelling with your pet and dealing with fireworks or noise phobias.
General Pet Advice
At Animal Ark Vets in Essex, we are proud to offer comprehensive and cost-effective preventative healthcare plans to keep your pet as healthy as possible.
Have you been noticing an increased water intake in your dog or cat recently? There might be instances where you find yourself refilling their water bowl more often than usual.
What should I do if I find a lump on my pet? Finding a lump doesn't necessarily signify a severe health issue, and even if it turns out to be a type of cancer, there could be several treatment approaches available.
Owning a pet can be a fantastic and rewarding experience and, for many, our pets become part of the family.
When the time comes to let them go it can be incredibly sad.
Animal Ark Vets are here to help you through this difficult time.
Contact our Client Care Team and we will do our best to make it as easy on you and pet as a possible.

Accepting Second Opinions
- We regularly have clients come to us seeking a second opinion on treatment.
- We are more than happy to provide second opinions.
- Please appreciate that we will need to get your pet’s previous medical records, which is necessary to get a full understanding of your pet’s medical history.
You can no longer use a pet passport issued in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) for travel to an EU country or Northern Ireland. You can still use a pet passport issued in an EU country or Northern Ireland. Instead, pets travelling from Great Britain to an EU country or Northern Ireland will need an Animal Health Certificate (up to five pets on one certificate).
No Nasty Surprises! Book a dental grading appointment for your pet today!
- We use a Dental Grading system from 0 to IV, making it easier to understand the condition of your pet’s teeth and gums.
- For simplicity, if your pet needs dental treatment, there will be a set fee based upon the level of the grade of your pet’s teeth and gums.
- For more general information on Dental Care see 7 Steps to Good Health.
Why
- Pet insurance provides cover for veterinary fees should your pet become injured or ill.
- As a pet owner, it provides you with peace of mind, knowing you can afford the best available treatment for your loved ones.
- We recommend the concept of pet insurance because we believe it is in the best interest of your pet – we do not recommend one individual policy over another.
