Exotic Pets

Exotic pets, like small mammals, reptiles, and birds, need special care. It's important to have a vet check their health before they meet your other pets. Our clinic provides many health services for exotic pets such as wellness checks, vaccinations and parasite prevention to help keep your exotic friend healthy.

Pocket Pets

Pocket pets refer to smaller household pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils, and hedgehogs. Each pet is different and requires different care. We will guide you in your pet’s care, provide helpful tips for keeping your pet safe and offer treatments (such as vaccination, parasite screening, and spay/neuter) to keep your pet healthy.
