Why Choose a Specialist in Exotic Pet Care?
Exotic mammals, pocket pets, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish are vastly different from cats and dogs, and many veterinarians who receive traditional veterinary education are not prepared to treat exotic species. These animals have their own unique anatomy, physiology, and health issues, and treating them requires extensive knowledge in all these areas.
Only a specialist can provide your exotic pet with the advanced care they need to live a healthy and full life. At Exotic Vet Care, our vet team is completely focused on treating exotic pets. We pursue continuing education to stay on top of advancements in the field of exotic medicine and continually elevate the standard of care we provide to our patients.
Why Your Pet Should See Us When They Are Not Sick
The most effective way to keep your exotic pet healthy is to have them examined regularly by a qualified veterinarian. While they might seem to be in good health, many exotic species can conceal their illnesses from their owners, not revealing a problem until their condition has become much worse. This is typical behavior in prey species; they do this as a survival tactic to protect against predators.
Therefore, your pet might seem healthy on the outside but could be harboring illness without you knowing. Your vet will be able to notice any abnormalities in your pet and can answer your questions and help you with any concerns you have. We can give you the information you need to protect your pet from disease, reduce their symptoms, and help them live the healthiest life possible.
