Expert Care for Small Mammal Companions
Small mammals like gerbils, chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits, and rats can make amazing companions just like cats and dogs. Our doctors at AniMed Animal Hospital have experience providing outstanding veterinary care for these and other small exotic mammals. Just like other pets, routine veterinary care is crucial for their health and well being.
Care for Your Exotic Pet
Our less common animal companions deserve the same wonderful care as our canine and feline friends! We provide outstanding veterinary care for a number of exotic pets, including hamsters, ferrets and other small mammals.
Not just any veterinarian can treat exotic animals. In order to provide veterinary services for these unique pets, a veterinarian must undergo training beyond veterinary school and receive certification in exotic pet medicine. AniMed Animal Hospital veterinarians are certified in exotic pet medicine and can even provide services beyond basic medicine, such as acupuncture!
Exotic animals have distinct health needs, and each species is prone to different diseases requiring specific treatments. Our veterinarians are trained to meet your pet’s unique needs. We provide a range of basic and specialized health services for our exotic patients, including wellness exams, vaccinations, blood screening, spay-neuter surgery, and more.
