Always knowledgeable, but also very kind. Staff is always ready to help and Dr. Mike Richards is the nicest and most thorough vet. I trust Arch completely with my fur babies.

All of the staff I have ever interacted with have been fantastic. I feel like I am given the best recommendations for care and everything is explained to me well. All of my family brings their pets here! Wonderful place.

Our 17 year old beagle Miller, patient #1431, passed away Tuesday. We would like to express gratitude to all the doctors and staff at the Hospital for taking care of our fur baby for years especially to Dr. Kyle who has saved Miller's life on multiple occasions, making time for an emergency appointment the same day in spite of a fully booked schedule. Dr. Kyle performs thorough examinations and addresses all the concerns with a caring, patient attitude.

No matter how sick Miller was, he always started to recover after being seen by Dr. Kyle. As always, this Monday Dr. Kyle agreed to see Miller even though there were no available appointments. Since Miller had seizures, we decided to take him to an emergency room right away and cancelled an appointment with Dr. Kyle scheduled within 2 hours. We regret our decision - if we brought Miller to Dr. Kyle on Monday, the outcome might have been different.

I am very disappointed at the service i have gotten from them so far. On my second appointment i was assisted by a woman who seemed less than satisfied to offer me any help. I had to wait for her to finish her personal conversation outside the hospital before she could assist me. She did not address me at all, after i told her what i was there for she went back inside and brought me a syringe in a ziplock bag, handed it to me with no directions or what it was for and that was that.

A few days after we found a tick on our puppy after they had claimed they did a thorough inspection on him. I don't care about a lot of things but for the service i actually pay money for i think I deserve a little bit of respect.

Arch Animal is TOP NOTCH! Every worker in there shows such great care, concern, and professionalism. Our dog has many (many) unique issues, and Dr. Mike has poured his heart and knowledge into helping us get to the bottom of it. His commitment and determination to his craft are above and beyond, and we know our dogs are in the very best of hands! We would not go anywhere else!

I have been with this office since I adopted my cat over 15 years ago and I will continue to as long as I have pets! I used to live super close but moved 20 minutes away and won't go anywhere else! Every single staff member/doctor is knowledgeable, friendly and caring - I just put down my 18 1/2 year old kitty and they could not have been more compassionate with me and my family. They treat pets like their own, including our kittens, and the office is organized and clean. Highly recommend!

Arch Animal Hospital hospital is staffed by people who love animals and their human companions. They have been concerned whenever I have questions about my dog's health or behavior. I have never had any difficulty scheduling an appointment for routine care or sick visits. The recently expanded and upgraded facility is always clean. I trust Dr. Mike and his staff to give our dog excellent care.

Arch Animal Hospital is by far the best in the St. Louis Area. I have met with Dr. Mike and Dr. Angela and they both show so much love and kindness to my fur babies. When I had to put my little guy Jake down in January 2019 they were there for me and even called to check up on me after Jake passed. Dr. Mike always answers my questions no matter how silly they may sound and I love that he gets on the floor to play with my babies before doing the "yucky" shots. Every time I leave Arch it is with a smile because they love my animals just as much as I do and I truly appreciate it. 10/10 would forever recommend Arch!

My dogs Tinkerbell and Frankie love the vets at Arch Animal Hospital! They aren't afraid when we visit and happily walk right in! The hospital is always clean and the staff is friendly. I feel confident whenever leaving my babies in their care, that they will be safe and very well cared for until I can pick them up. I trust that the doctors have my dogs' best interests in mind. They are very patient and answer all of my questions, which are usually a lot, because I'm a worried dog mom!
