This directory section lists veterinary clinics with dedicated training and equipment for non-traditional pets, including birds, reptiles, small mammals, and amphibians. Standard canine and feline practices often lack the specialized anesthesia protocols, diagnostics, and temperature-controlled housing that exotic species require. Before booking, confirm whether the clinic treats your specific species and whether an ABVP-boarded specialist is on staff.

Good to know
How much does an exotic vet visit cost?
A routine examination fee for an exotic pet typically ranges between $70 and $150, which is slightly higher than standard dog or cat exams. Diagnostic procedures such as avian blood panels, fecal parasitology, or digital radiography generally add $100 to $350 to the total cost.
Which animals require an exotic veterinarian?
Exotic veterinarians treat birds, reptiles (turtles, snakes, lizards), amphibians, and small companion mammals like rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, and sugar gliders. These animals have unique physiological needs, metabolic rates, and dietary requirements that general practice vets are usually not equipped to handle.
How do emergency visits work for exotic pets?
Always call the clinic in advance, as emergency exotic care requires staff to prepare specialized incubators, oxygen cages, or micro-dosed medications prior to arrival. Emergency exam fees generally range from $150 to $300, excluding overnight stabilization or critical care monitoring.
Can capybaras be pets?
Owning a capybara depends on regional wildlife and exotic animal regulations, as many areas require specialized permits or ban them entirely. In Colorado, there are 17 exotic animal veterinarians on ExoticVetAtlas who can guide you on health and legal care requirements.
Can you have a fennec fox as a pet?
Fennec foxes can be kept as pets in certain jurisdictions, but they often require specific captive wildlife permits and specialized enclosures. Check local wildlife regulations in Colorado, where 17 listed exotic veterinarians are available to assist with their unique care needs.
