Clinics in this section offer dedicated medical care, surgery, and diagnostics for non-traditional pets, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.

Good to know
How much does a routine exotic vet exam cost?
Initial wellness exams for exotic pets typically cost between $75 and $150. Specialized diagnostics such as fecal parasite screens, avian blood panels, or digital X-rays add $100 to $350 to the total visit cost.
Which species fall under exotic pet veterinary care?
Exotic care covers small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas), birds (parrots, songbirds, poultry), reptiles (bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, turtles), and amphibians. Most clinics do not treat native wildlife, primates, or venomous species.
What should I bring to an exotic pet's first appointment?
Transport your pet in a secure, temperature-regulated carrier or container suitable for their species. Bring a fresh stool sample collected within 12 hours, photos of their home habitat setup, and a list of their current diet and supplements.
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 Georgia, there are 10 exotic animal veterinarians on ExoticVetAtlas who can guide you on health and legal care requirements.
Can you have a fennec fox as a pet?
