Beyond Cats and Dogs
Snakes, lizards, rats, gerbils, hamsters—bring us your reptiles and pocket pets!
Yarmouth Veterinary Center welcomes small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Our veterinarians can advise you about proper care, feeding, and maintenance of your pet, as well as treat illnesses and conditions specific to their species.
Exotic and pocket pets have unique healthcare requirements that differ significantly from those of more traditional companions. Our veterinary team stays current with the latest advances in exotic animal medicine to provide the highest standard of care for these special patients. We understand the specific anatomical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics of various exotic species and use this knowledge to develop effective treatment plans.
Proper habitat, nutrition, and husbandry are crucial elements in maintaining the health of exotic pets. During wellness examinations, we not only assess your pet’s current health status but also provide guidance on creating the optimal environment for their specific needs. This preventative approach helps avoid many common health issues that affect exotic species.
Many of these pets require a very particular environment to thrive, and it’s important you have a veterinarian experienced in their care to help. We see a wide variety of pets, so if your companion is something smaller—or a little more exotic—than a cat or dog, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Our exotic pet services include wellness examinations, nutritional counseling, disease diagnosis and treatment, surgical procedures when necessary, and emergency care. We also provide education on proper handling techniques, environmental enrichment, and recognition of early signs of illness in your unique companion.
