Exotic animals can make very rewarding companions, but it’s important to remember that because they are not a typical pet, they have unique needs. Choosing to own an exotic pet requires a special kind of owner – one that can commit to providing the appropriate care and environment.
Many people are also surprised to hear that exotic pets need regular check-ups. New pet exams are perhaps even more important for exotic creatures than for cats and dogs. In addition to a thorough exam, we’ll discuss special environmental and nutritional needs of your pet.
