What Is Exotic Pet Care, and Why Is It Important?
Exotic pet care focuses on species beyond traditional pets, including reptiles, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small mammals. These animals require specific diets, environments, and medical treatments that differ greatly from those of dogs and cats.
Our team at VetField boasts the specialized expertise to give these pets the proactive treatment they need to thrive. Whether scaled, feathered, or furry, exotic pets receive the same gold-standard care as dogs and cats in our practice.
What’s Included in Exotic Pet Care?
Caring for exotic pets requires specialized knowledge and a gentle, experienced touch. At VetField Animal Hospital, our exotic pet care services are designed to meet the unique needs of birds, reptiles, rabbits, and small mammals.
Our typical exotic pet care includes:
