ARK Veterinary Rehabilitation is a holistic pet rehab centre on Crane Road in Geylang, built around the belief that 'caring with love, just like home' is a clinical philosophy, not just a slogan. The space is designed as a sanctuary rather than a clinic — open layouts, warm lighting, plants and essential oils, a fully equipped rehab gym, and a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill — because the team believes surroundings shape how a pet's body, mind and emotions heal.
Over six years, more than 500 pets have been treated by a team with 20+ years of combined clinical experience, earning a 5.0-star rating across 39 Google reviews. Reviews tell recovery stories of dogs with IVDD walking again, patella luxation improving through water treadmill work, anxious pets leaving relaxed, and 13-year-old seniors moving more freely after gentle acupuncture.
Care spans six customised services — hydrotherapy, laser therapy, TENS & NMES electrotherapy, acupuncture, house visits, and nutrition & wellness that blends modern science with TCM food medicine. As a hybrid practice, ARK also delivers hands-on rehab at your home and online video consults, plus second opinions for complex mobility concerns and compassionate palliative care. Every plan is guided, in their words, by experience, precision and genuine care.
Step into ARK Veterinary Rehabilitation on Crane Road and the first thing you notice is what it isn't: it doesn't feel like a clinical waiting room. The Geylang space is deliberately designed as a sanctuary — open layouts, warm lighting, plants and essential oils chosen to calm the nervous system. The team here believes surroundings play a key role in wellness, shaping how the body, mind and emotions heal. Their tagline says it plainly: caring with love, just like home.
Six years in, ARK has built a reputation as one of Singapore's premier pet rehabilitation centres. More than 500 pets have been treated by a team with over 20 years of combined clinical experience, and the practice holds a perfect 5.0-star rating from 39 Google reviews. The reviews read like small recovery stories: a senior dog named Dallas who finally got a clear diagnosis and mobility plan from Dr Priya; Bonbon, whose grade 2–3 patella luxation improved significantly with weekly exercise and water treadmill sessions; Ah Girl, 13, walking more freely after gentle acupuncture and moxibustion; and Fifi, who arrived dragging a back leg after IVDD and now walks normally.
ARK's approach is evidence-based rehabilitation, built plan-by-plan for each animal. Hydrotherapy is the flagship: an underwater treadmill where buoyancy removes weight-bearing stress from sore joints while water resistance — adjusted by belt speed, water height, incline and jets — rebuilds strength and stamina. The water is kept warm at 29–30°C to ease aches and support healing, which is why it suits pets with osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, patella luxation, IVDD, and paralysed or three-legged dogs.
Around the treadmill sit four more modalities. Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) uses therapeutic light to stimulate cells, accelerating blood flow, calming inflammation and easing pain. TENS and NMES electrotherapy deliver gentle currents that relieve pain and re-educate weak muscles — useful after surgery, for chronic pain, and for preventing muscle atrophy. Acupuncture, performed with fine sterile needles, modulates pain and restores balance, supporting everything from arthritis and cruciate injuries to weak hind legs and liver or kidney support. There is also a fully equipped rehab gym where strength training, in the team's words, feels playful — joyful conditioning for stronger bodies.
Nutrition & Wellness at ARK blends modern science with Traditional Chinese Medicine. The team works with five TCM food elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — each supporting specific organs and overall balance, and customises formulations to AAFCO standards. Gut microbiome, allergy and vitamin/mineral testing help guide individualised consults for weight, cancer care, gut health, skin allergies, food sensitivities and chronic conditions like pancreatitis and liver disorders.
Founder Dr Priya Streram is a Melbourne University veterinary graduate (BVSc, 2010), a senior rehabilitation veterinarian certified in canine rehab (CCRP), an IVAS-certified veterinary acupuncturist and a certified food therapy practitioner. Alongside her is Dr Intuon Jiraruangtrakul — 'Dr Fern' — a CCRP rehabilitation veterinarian and hydrotherapy specialist trained in pain management protocols. Consultants are qualified clinical veterinarians, therapists are trained small animal rehab practitioners, and the whole team is collectively trained in acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and small animal rehab. Owners describe patient, attentive care: Kenji, an anxious and snappy dog on arrival, left completely relaxed after Dr Fern's calm handling; Pixie's treatment was always adjusted to her individual needs.
ARK is a hybrid practice. Beyond on-site care at Crane Road, its rehabilitation veterinarians make house visits — full assessment, customised treatment planning and hands-on therapy, delivered in your living room. It's ideal for pets stressed by car travel or unfamiliar spaces, for multi-pet households, and for owners with mobility limitations. Online video consults extend that reach anywhere. The team also offers trusted second opinions for complex mobility concerns and compassionate palliative care for paralysed and chronically ill companions, backing sessions with detailed case notes and home rehab guidance.
Appointments are made over WhatsApp at +65 8828 6875 — you choose on-site, home visit or online, then pick a date and time; the team usually replies the same day during clinic hours. Doors are open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–6:30pm, and Sunday 9am–5pm; the clinic rests on Mondays. Ongoing care is supported by plans that grow with you: Rehab Packages with loyalty credit tiers and priority booking, the Treat-mill Club monthly hydrotherapy membership with onboarding training, and personalised Nutrition & Wellness consults. For owners who want to do more at home, the ARK Learning Center offers self-paced online courses built by the clinical team. Whether your companion is recovering from surgery, slowing with age or living with paralysis, the promise is the same — every plan guided by experience, precision, and genuine care.
