Arkansas Veterinary Clinic

I have been coming to this clinic for my 19 yo baby since I moved here 7 months ago. I have been happy with all the services we have received. They took care of my baby up until her last breath. They let me have all the time I needed and she went so peacefully. My heart's still broken, but the clinic made my worst day bearable. Thank you for everything you did for Shadow! RIP 6/3/26.

Dr. Hittner and his team are incredible with our fur babies. We moved here from MS about 5 years ago and were researching veterinary clinics before the move. After a not so great experience in Fort Smith, we found Arkansas Vet Clinic and have never regretted it - we have used this clinic now for about 4 years and will never use another. The team here is kind, caring, and compassionate. We’ve always felt heard with any concerns we have had and I know our pups are taken care of here!

I can not put into words just how wonderful the staff are here. I brought my dog Tip in for a second opinion on his end of life procedure. From the moment we pull in to when we left, my husband and I was shown kindness, compassion, and they truly cared about not just the human but also our fur babies. I had the pleaser of having Dr. Hittner. He walked us through everything they were doing and also what needed to be done. He showed us test results and x rays. He did everything he could to try and make my dog Tip as healthy as possible. Unfortunately my baby couldn’t be fixed and was suffering a lot. We made the hard decision to put him down. Once again Dr. Hittner and Ashley(absolutely amazing) never left us but also provided us with privacy gave us space to say good bye. Even if you don’t get Dr. Hittner you will be in good hands with Dr. Bottoms. From the lady who answered my many phone calls to Ashley who was just wonderful, thank you for all the kindness, support, and compassion. If you are in the market for a new vet and Arkansas Veterinary Clinic is accepting them. Make that change. You will not regret it.

Excellent clinic, all staff are friendly, helpful and generally most professional. A clean, new building, professional equipment. My furry child was probably bitten by a snake, swollen neck, not wanting to eat. Doc assessed the issue, recommended draining the bulging neck. While under, the assistant brushed Chewie, they trimmed his nails and provided a sanitary trim on his butt. This all was most appreciated . Chewie a week later is back to himself, eating and drinking. I will return for all my health needs for Chewie. Cost: Very reasonable Time: 30 min

I have a 19-year-old pug named Toby who still acts like a puppy—despite being blind and deaf. He goes to work with me every day and, for that matter, goes everywhere with me. He’s been by my side my entire career, traveling with me to construction sites across the country. Because of that, I’ve worked with some of the best veterinarians in many different cities—so I don’t make recommendations lightly. When I moved to Fort Smith, I asked three different people—each clearly devoted pet owners—who they trusted most. Without hesitation, all three said Arkansas Vet. That told me everything I needed to know. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the reputation was well-earned. The doctor was as thorough and attentive as anyone who has ever cared for Toby, and the staff was truly second to none. They treated him with patience, dignity, and genuine compassion—and that means everything when you’re caring for a senior dog. At 19 years old, Toby deserves the very best. I’m grateful to have found a team I trust completely. They earned my trust immediately—and that’s not something I give lightly. If you’re looking for a veterinarian who combines expertise with real care, I can’t recommend Arkansas Vet highly enough.

They saved my baby! He wasn’t feeling well and they were able to get him in twice really quickly. Very knowledgeable and so nice, from the front desk, to the assistants, and the doctors. They’re the best choice for your fur babies.

Absolutely fantastic chair side manor from the lead vet. He explained everything in detail and told me what to expect during my pups heartworm treatment. The staff was so warm and helpful. I know my dog is in great hands and treated with care. Being new to town its so nice to know i have a vet I can trust.
