Comprehensive Health Exams for Exotic Pets

Exotic pets have unique health needs, and regular checkups are essential. Having established baselines and a husbandry care plan is critical to keep patients happy and healthy. Our team will evaluate your pet’s diet, habitat, temperature, humidity, and overall well-being to ensure they thrive. To provide the best care, please bring:

  • A full breakdown of their diet (what and how often they eat). Taking a photo of the food’s name, ingredients, and nutritional breakdown is very helpful.
  • Housing details, including enclosure size, substrate, and lighting.
  • Information on any other animals they are housed with and if they share health concerns.
  • For reptiles, please bring information on their UVB lighting, temperature regulation, and humidity levels.
