Why Choose a Specialist in Exotic Pet Care?

Exotic mammals, pocket pets, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish are vastly different from cats and dogs. These animals have their own unique anatomy, physiology, and health issues, and treating them requires extensive knowledge in all of these areas. At Exotic Vet Care, our veterinary team is focused on exotic pets and pursues continuing education to stay current with advances in exotic medicine.

Why Should Your Pet See Us When They Aren't Sick?

Regular veterinary examinations are one of the most effective ways to protect an exotic pet’s health. Many exotic species can conceal illness until their condition has progressed. A qualified exotic veterinarian can recognize subtle abnormalities, answer questions about care, and help you protect your pet from disease while supporting the healthiest life possible.

Exotic Pets We Treat

“Excellent facility, with great people here. Knowledgeable team with reptile and avian care. Very clean and can clearly see that they generally care for your animals well being and health recovery. 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you guys for helping me with my Gekko Gecko-Tokay (Cali).”

“They always do a great job making sure my sugar gliders are happy and healthy! I will gladly drive 2 hours to them to make sure my gliders are taken care of.”

“The most thorough vet I’ve found for my Quaker parrot, Snickers. I am beyond impressed and have told everyone I can about this practice. Everyone was kind and informative.”

Jessica M.

“My Macaw (Jelly Bean) suddenly experienced respiratory distress, we rushed him to Exotic and they immediately began treatment. We had to drive hours to get there but it was definitely worth it. We have him home and thanks to Exotic, Jelly is a different bird this morning.”

Built for Patients Who Need Something Different.

Everything from the hospital environment to the diagnostic equipment is designed with exotic species in mind. That lets our team provide routine, urgent, and advanced care in a setting tailored to patients whose needs can differ dramatically from those of dogs and cats.

Better Care Starts with Understanding Your Pet.

We believe client education is part of good medicine. Our team takes time to discuss diet, habitat, behavior, preventative care, and the reasoning behind medical recommendations so you can make informed decisions for your pet.
