Your First Visit

Dear Parent, 

Thank you for choosing us. We look forward to meeting you and your pet. Together, we’ll make sure they stay healthy and happy throughout your life together.

When you visit the clinic, please bring your pet in a carrier or on a leash. This will prevent any incidents with other animals that may also be in the lobby.

When it is time for your appointment, one of our Veterinary Technicians will escort you and your pet to an exam room where they will ask you some questions regarding your visit. Weight, temperature, and a quick check of your pet might happen at this time as well.
 

When the veterinarian examines your pet, they will take the time to listen and ask questions so they can understand your concerns. They will also perform a physical examination of your pet – checking his eyes, ears, and mouth and listening to your pets heart – and will ask you questions about your pets habits and activities. 

We are excited about meeting you and your pet. We will always strive to provide the level of care that you both deserve. 

Should you have any questions about your upcoming visit or procedure, please do not hesitate to call us.

To make your first visit even easier, please take the time to fill out the New Client Form before visiting the

Exotic and pocket pets typically refer to a variety of small, non-traditional domestic animals kept as pets, which are distinct from common household pets like dogs and cats. Here’s a breakdown:

Exotic Pets: This category includes a broad range of animals that are not commonly domesticated. It often encompasses:

  • Reptiles: Such as snakes, lizards, and tortoises.
  • Birds: Including parrots, canaries, and exotic finches.
  • Small Mammals: Like ferrets, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders.
  • Aquatic Pets: Such as exotic fish and amphibians like frogs and salamanders.
  • Invertebrates: Including tarantulas and certain types of insects.

 

Pocket Pets: These are small mammals that can literally fit into your pocket or easily be held in your hands, making them quite portable. Common examples include:

  • Rodents: Such as hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats.
  • Small Rabbits: Often considered pocket pets due to their smaller size compared to larger rabbit breeds.
  • Guinea Pigs: Known for their docile nature and minimal space requirements.

Both exotic and pocket pets require specific care, diets, and living environments that cater to their unique needs, often differing significantly from those of more traditional pets.
