Exotic Pet Vet near Detroit, MI

Exotic pets may be small, feathered, scaled, or a little more unusual, but they still need veterinary care tailored to their species, habitat, nutrition, and behavior. From rabbit dental care and bearded dragon lighting needs to backyard chicken respiratory concerns and mini pig nutrition, exotic animals require a different approach than traditional cat and dog medicine.

At Ann Arbor Animal Hospital, our team provides care for a wide range of exotic pets in Ann Arbor, MI, conveniently located near Detroit. If you’re searching for an exotic pet vet near Detroit, we offer wellness exams, guidance on diet and habitat setup, and treatment for non-emergency illnesses for many non-traditional pets. Our goal is to provide compassionate, knowledgeable care that supports your pet’s long-term health and well-being.

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.
