VeterinarianDr. Kevin Scruggs
Veterinarian
Dr. Kevin Scruggs hails from the great city of Detroit, MI. He graduated and then ventured to Alabama to complete undergraduate and veterinary school at Tuskegee University. Afterward, Dr. Scruggs headed to Houston, TX to pursue his veterinary medicine career. He honed his skills beside various mentors in small animal clinics and shelter facilities. After years of experience, Dr. Scruggs decided to embark on the journey of entrepreneurship with Dr. Blackwell and soon with Dr. Prioleau. It has always been a dream of Dr. Scruggs that has now come to fruition. He is excited to expand Ark Veterinary Services into a mixed animal practice.
At home he has a chihuahua named Ethel. His favorite animal to treat is chinchillas, and his spirit animal is a honey badger.
