With the exception of birds and reptiles, our hospital is fully equipped to treat a wide variety of exotic pets. From routine care to emergency services, you can count on our team for all of your exotic pet’s healthcare needs. They may be out of the ordinary, but please remember that exotic pets need just as much maintenance care as dogs, cats, and other “traditional” companions.
