Exotic Pet FAQs

When should I take a new exotic pet to the veterinarian in Holland, MI?

Scheduling an exam soon after bringing home a new exotic pet gives you an opportunity to establish a health baseline and discuss species-specific care. Our exotic veterinarians can evaluate your pet and review important topics such as nutrition, housing, temperature, lighting, humidity, and other preventive care needs. If you recently brought home a rabbit, reptile, or other exotic pet, an initial veterinary visit is a great idea to start their care routine on the right track.

How much does an exotic exam cost at East Holland Veterinary Clinic?

A routine exotic exam starts at $98. This is a physical exam with a veterinarian for general wellness care. Any treatments would be an additional cost. 

Do your veterinarians see all types of exotic pets?

We strive to accommodate as many types of pets as possible at East Holland Veterinary Clinic. If you have questions about a specific exotic pet, we welcome you to reach out and confirm that we are able to treat your special pet. 

I’m not sure how to take care of my exotic pet; can your vet help?

Absolutely! Our veterinarians are happy to discuss your exotic pet’s needs, including nutrition, habitat setup, temperature, lighting, enrichment, and other aspects of everyday care. We do strongly encourage prospective owners to research an animal’s needs before bringing one home. Once your pet joins your family, our team can provide ongoing guidance on creating a healthy care routine.

How can I tell if my exotic pet is sick?

Signs of illness in exotic pets can be subtle and may include changes in appetite, activity level, behavior, breathing, appearance, or normal bathroom habits. Seemingly minor changes deserve attention. If your exotic pet begins behaving differently from normal, contact East Holland Veterinary Clinic rather than waiting for more obvious symptoms to develop.
