Owners may choose exotic pets over cats and dogs because they believe them to require a lower level of care. While that is often true, exotic pets still require care. Regardless of the species of pet, informed animal care and veterinary attention will increase your special friend’s health and longevity. Depending on your pet type, we will want to see your pet at least annually. While most do not require vaccinations, we will weight and examine your pet.
