Exotic Pet Vet in Ann Arbor, MI

Exotic pets may be small, feathered, scaled, or a little more unusual, but they still need veterinary care designed around their species, environment, diet, and behavior. A rabbit’s dental health, a bearded dragon’s lighting setup, a chicken’s respiratory signs, and a mini pig’s nutrition all call for a different approach than traditional dog and cat care.

At Ann Arbor Animal Hospital, our exotic pet vet in Ann Arbor, MI cares for a variety of non-traditional pets. Whether your pet needs a wellness exam, help with habitat or diet questions, or care for a non-critical illness, our team is here to provide thoughtful guidance and medical support.

Please note: Emergency services are not available for exotic pets at this time. If your exotic pet is experiencing a serious or life-threatening concern, please contact an emergency facility that treats exotic animals, such as Emergency Veterinary Hospital at (734)369-6446.
