Yes, We Treat Exotic Pets!

You may feel pretty confident about taking your dog or cat to a veterinary hospital or animal vet clinic. But what about your mouse, ferret, rabbit or lizard? These pets require regular care just as the “usual suspects" do, but they may have very specific and unique needs that a “dog and cat only place” cannot address. These specialized needs require specialized experience -- and if you’re looking for an Oakland Park veterinarian with that kind of experience, here we are!

Oakland Park Exotic Pet Veterinarians

At Oakland Animal Hospital, we regard treatment of exotics as part of our daily work. These species include most everything outside the normal choices of cats or dogs, such as rabbits, mice, rats, gerbils, ferrets, hamsters, lizards and birds. Many of these creatures also go by the term “pocket pets” because of their small size and easy portability. Their health care needs, however, can be less than convenient if your veterinary hospital has no knowledge or experience in treating them.

Our Oakland Park facility fills that gap. We maintain a large number of veterinary staff here, including those who specialize in non-traditional pets. We have both an animal vet clinic for everyday treatments and an emergency pet hospital for more urgent situations. We keep Oakland Animal Hospital and the Animal Emergency Trauma Center in the same building for optimum efficiency and convenience. Call ahead, if possible, for emergency cases and we will start preparing for your pet’s arrival. Appointments are always welcome during our standard office hours (check our website for details).

Does all this talk of exotics mean that you have to take your dog or cat elsewhere? Not at all -- of course we welcome Rover or Fluffy to our clinic or emergency pet hospital too. Every pet that walks, crawls or flies into our office receives the same degree of compassionate, expert care. You and your pets deserve nothing less!
