Gentle and Dedicated Care for Exotic and Pocket Pets

Gentle and Dedicated Care for Exotic and Pocket Pets

Cats and dogs may be the most familiar companions, but at Green Family Veterinary Practice, we’re delighted to care for pets of every shape and size. Dr. Mary Grabowski brings extensive experience in treating and supporting the health of rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, birds, a wide range of reptiles, and even certain amphibians.

Health and Well-Being for Your One-of-a-Kind Pet

Exotic pets often have unique dietary and healthcare needs, yet their overall wellness care is similar to that of dogs and cats. We recommend yearly wellness exams—or more frequent visits depending on your pet’s species, age, and health status. These checkups give us the opportunity to perform a thorough physical exam and identify any issues specific to your pet’s species or breed. In addition, many exotic pets benefit from vaccinations—some protecting against diseases common across species, and others tailored to their individual needs.

Because exotic animals may not express discomfort as clearly as dogs and cats, it can be harder to detect when something is wrong. Keep an eye out for subtle changes in behavior, such as decreased activity, changes in appetite, increased aggression, or other unusual habits. If you notice anything concerning, don’t hesitate to schedule a diagnostic visit—even if you’re unsure—since early detection is often key to protecting your pet’s health.
