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.

Meet Our Experts

Dr. Kevin Brumfield and Dr. Kathleen Cavell lead our team in providing top-tier care for exotic pets. Both doctors have undergone extensive postdoctoral training in the specialized field of exotic pet medicine. Their dedication and expertise are your pet’s greatest assets.
