Exotic Pet Services We Offer:
Wellness Exams
Routine wellness visits are essential for keeping exotic pets healthy, as they often hide signs of illness. During these exams, we perform a thorough physical evaluation, review diet and habitat, and offer guidance on proper husbandry to help prevent disease and promote long-term well-being.
Sick Exams
If your pet is showing signs of illness—such as changes in appetite, behavior, or activity—our team is here to help. We take the time to carefully assess symptoms, perform a detailed examination, and develop a treatment plan designed specifically for your exotic companion.
Lab Work & Diagnostics
Because exotic pets can be especially skilled at masking illness, advanced diagnostics play a crucial role in their care. We offer a range of diagnostic services, including bloodwork, fecal testing, imaging, and more, allowing us to detect issues early and provide accurate, effective treatment.
Surgery
When surgery is needed, you can trust our team to provide safe, attentive care every step of the way. From routine procedures to more advanced surgeries, we use appropriate anesthesia protocols and monitoring tailored to exotic species, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and recovery.
Dentals
Dental health is vital for many exotic pets, particularly small mammals like rabbits and rodents. We provide dental exams and treatments to address overgrown teeth, malocclusion, and other oral health concerns, helping your pet stay comfortable and able to eat properly.
