Compassion Extends to All Sizes
Providing top-tier care for ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and various other pets.
Exotics
At Northwood Animal Hospital, while our furry friends take the spotlight, we have a special place in our hearts for exotic pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether they have scales, feathers, or fur, we welcome these unique companions with open arms and a wealth of expertise.
Educating and Caring for Exotic Pets
Our mission is to educate our clients about the unique needs of their exotic pets. Surprisingly, more than 80% of the medical issues we encounter in these special companions stem from underlying husbandry issues. We believe that informed pet owners make the best caregivers, and we’re here to provide you with the knowledge and support you need to ensure your exotic pet thrives.
Comprehensive Care and Expertise
Our commitment to exceptional care extends to every creature we serve. With full capability for overnight hospitalization and a wide array of surgical options, we can meet the diverse needs of your exotic companion.
