“Absolutely amazing experience! … They were prompt getting me in, doing an initial evaluation and getting my cat back and prepared for a minor operation. They were very professional, explained everything clearly … they showed my cat the utmost respect and care. I am definitely going to be switching to them.”

Veterinary Care for Exotic Animals
Exotic animals have different medical, nutritional, environmental, and handling needs than dogs and cats. Our team provides veterinary care tailored to the species we treat, from routine health concerns and diagnostics to illness, injury, surgery, and emergency care.
Wellness Exams & Preventive Care
Routine veterinary exams help monitor your animal’s overall health and identify problems early. We can also discuss nutrition, behavior, habitat, husbandry, and other species specific needs that play an important role in keeping exotic animals healthy.
Illness & Injury
Exotic animals often hide signs of illness until a problem has become more serious. We evaluate changes in appetite, activity, breathing, behavior, mobility, weight, appearance, and other symptoms that may indicate your animal is sick or injured.
Exotic Animal Diagnostics
When something isn’t right, diagnostic testing can help us find answers. Depending on your animal and their condition, care may include bloodwork, laboratory testing, X rays, advanced imaging, and other diagnostics appropriate for their species.
Exotic Animal Surgery
We provide surgical care for exotic animals when needed, including procedures for injuries, masses, reproductive conditions, foreign bodies, and other medical concerns. Surgical recommendations are based on the individual animal, species, and condition.
Emergency & Urgent Care for Exotic Animals
When an exotic animal suddenly becomes sick or injured, finding a veterinarian who will see them can be difficult. We provide emergency and urgent veterinary care for many exotic species, including animals that may not be routinely treated at traditional veterinary clinics.
Nutrition, Habitat & Husbandry
For many exotic animals, proper nutrition, temperature, lighting, enclosure setup, and other husbandry needs are directly connected to their health. We can help identify potential problems and provide guidance based on your animal’s species and individual needs.
