Most veterinary hospitals specialize only in common companion animals such as cats and dogs. If you’re the proud owner of an exotic or avian pet, finding reliable pet care in the Long Island area can be challenging - but we’re here to help!
What to Look for in an Animal Hospital
There are a few things you want to look for in an animal hospital before selecting one to treat your beloved exotic or avian friend:
- Wellness Care: Wellness care is recommended for all types of animals to ensure your pet is staying healthy and happy. Routine visits are recommended so that your vet can detect any problems before those issues become a major source of concern.
- Surgery: Finding a vet that offers surgery can be convenient and important if your pet is ever faced with a serious accident or injury. Being able to rely on your general practice vet for surgical needs reduces the need for you to go from one hospital to another to find care for your exotic or avian pet.
- Dental Care: Dental care is an overlooked but extremely important aspect of keeping your pet healthy. Poor dental hygiene can lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream and adversely impacting other organs within the body, causing further damage.
- In-House Diagnostics: Hospitals that have in-house diagnostics allow your vet to get test results much faster. You can begin treatment much faster for an injured pet and help them recover quickly.
