Exotics Care
Our two exotics-focused veterinarians are dedicated to helping exotic animals and wildlife in need of urgent and emergency medical care.
Emergency Care for Exotic Animals
Many people will find that the veterinarian that they take their dog and or cat to is unwilling to see their exotic pet. Why is this? Unfortunately, the education of veterinarians when it comes to exotic species is limited. To practice high-quality medicine, exotic pet veterinarians must seek out specialized training to be competent in treating these species. This leads to a limited number of veterinarians able to provide care for these pets. Our exotic pet care team believes that all animals, no matter the species, deserve high-quality medical care, and has dedicated their careers to learning about and expanding the knowledge of exotic animal medicine.
Our ER is open 24/7 for animals of every kind. Appointments are available for exotic animals, but not required.
