How to find an exotics vet before you need one

Most vets don't see hedgehogs, gliders or birds. Find yours now, not at 2 a.m.

Ask the right questions

Ask how many of your species they see each month, whether they do anesthesia on small exotics, and who covers emergencies after hours.

Save the details

Add your vet and the nearest emergency clinic to your contacts book in the keeper tools so they're one tap away.

Bring records

Download the vet records PDF from your animal's page before an appointment. Weight history and past meds help the vet decide faster.

Nothing here replaces advice from an exotics vet.
