Wellness & Preventive Care For Exotic Pets
Much like cats and dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and similar pets benefit from regular exotic vet care to help live a long and healthy life. Our vets are trained in the unique care needs and veterinary treatment of these species.
During the initial wellness visit, our vet will thoroughly review your pet’s housing, nutrition, and care. A complete and thorough physical exam will be performed. Health screening tests and vaccines will be discussed and recommended when indicated.
As part of our care for exotic pets, we offer diagnostic tests like bloodwork, routine surgeries such as spays and neuters, and general upkeep services like tooth and nail trims.
