Like dogs and cats, preventative care is just as important for your exotic pet. Whether they’re scaled or feathered, routine care is required to keep them happy and healthy! Spring is the perfect time to have a complete wellness check with your veterinarian.

What does preventative care look like?
A complete physical examination every 6 - 12 months
Annual f***l examination for parasites
Regular dental examinations
Routine blood tests
Yearly vaccines as recommended by your veterinarian
Parasite prevention (deworming, flea/tick preventative)

Routine veterinary check-ups enable early detection of potential issues like dental problems, respiratory infections, and parasitic infestations. By scheduling regular appointments for your pocket pets, you're actively ensuring they enjoy long, healthy lives by your side.

Today is National Lost Dog Awareness Day!
Here are some preventative steps you can take to keep your pet from going missing:
Keep your dog secure. Whether on a leash or in a fenced yard, your dog is less likely to wander if it is secured.
Training is valuable. Dogs who have been trained by a professional are less likely to go missing.
Always supervise your animal. Dogs, especially expensive purebreds, can be stolen even from a fenced yard.
Tags and microchipping help with the recovery of a missing animal.
Spaying and neutering reduce your pet’s likelihood of wandering off in search of a mate and helps eliminate the chances of unwanted offspring should your dog wander off unexpectedly.
Keep records up to date on your animals. That includes photos, vaccinations, and valuable tags & microchips.

Fueled by social media and internet popularization, exotic pets are increasing in demand. Purchasing an exotic pet from a local pet store is widely available and these pets are often labeled as ‘easy care’ animals.
How to properly care for these animals, understanding their unique needs, potential health risks to their caretakers, and where these animals are being sourced from are important steps when considering purchasing an exotic animal as a pet. When these steps are not taken, our pet owners may find that their first visit to their new exotic veterinarian is a sick visit for benign neglect of their pet.
Definition: Benign Neglect in Pet Ownership
Unintentionally neglecting the unique care needs of a pet. Typically seen when comprehensive understanding of the care required for the pet is not understood by the owner.
Preparing for an exotic pet checklist:
Ensure the animal is legal to own in your state, county, and city
Research the exotic pet you’re interested in owning in extensive detail (enclosure needs, space requirements, diet, handling, temperament etc.) Ask yourself if you’re able to provide the unique care required for the welfare of the pet
Research the potential health risks of owning an exotic pet, such as zoonotic disease and potential physical harm
Consider the costs of owning an exotic pet (cost of pet, enclosure costs, diet costs, veterinary costs etc.)
Source your exotic pet from a reputable breeding or rescue center
If you’ve done your research and will proceed with purchasing an exotic pet, the final step is to preemptively schedule your pet for a wellness exam with an exotic veterinarian. Schedule this exam within one week of bringing your new pet home. Establishing a relationship with an exotic veterinarian prior to the pet becoming sick is crucial!

Before you bring home an Easter bunny as a pet…

Did you know?

It can be difficult to differentiate between seasonal allergies and flea allergic dermatitis. Here are some symptoms to watch out for:
🌿 Spring Allergies: Keep an eye out for symptoms like itching, sneezing, watery eyes, and skin irritation. Pets may also exhibit behaviors such as excessive scratching, licking, or chewing on their paws or skin. If you notice these signs, call us to schedule an appointment.
🚫 Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD): Flea allergy symptoms can be similar to those of spring allergies but may also include severe itching, redness, and inflammation, particularly around the base of the tail and along the back. Flea dirt (tiny black specks) may be visible on your pet's skin or fur. Prevention is key, so ensure your pet is on a regular veterinary recommended flea prevention regimen.
If you are noticing any of these symptoms and you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, call us at 336-328-1000.
