Exotic Pet Services: At Green Dog Dental, we’re proud to expand our care to the unique and diverse needs of exotic pets. From urgent medical attention to routine wellness and grooming, our experienced team provides gentle, expert care tailored to birds, reptiles, and small mammals.
1. Exotics Urgent Care
Our dedicated Exotic Pet Urgent Care service is designed to address sudden health concerns in birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Whether it's a rabbit experiencing gastrointestinal stasis, a bird showing signs of distress, or a reptile with trauma, our team is equipped to provide prompt, specialized care. We understand that exotic pets often mask symptoms, making timely intervention crucial. Our facility is prepared to handle a range of urgent situations, ensuring your pet receives the attention they need when it matters most.
2. Exotics Surgery
Exotic pets require surgical care that’s precise, thoughtful, and backed by advanced anesthetic protocols. From soft tissue procedures to reproductive surgeries, our team is equipped to perform a range of surgeries with careful monitoring every step of the way. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priority.
3. Rabbit Dentistry
Dental health is vital for rabbits, as dental issues can lead to serious health problems. Our services include comprehensive oral exams, molar trimming, and treatment of dental abscesses, all supported by advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis and care. Please note that rabbits must be placed under anesthesia for all dental cleanings to ensure their safety and allow for a thorough evaluation and treatment.
4. Exotics Wellness Exams
Routine wellness exams are essential for detecting subtle health changes in exotic pets. At Green Dog Dental, we tailor each exam to the unique needs of your bird, reptile, or small mammal. Our comprehensive wellness visits include physical assessments, nutritional counseling, habitat review, and species-specific diagnostics. We also offer vaccinations for rabbits and ferrets to help protect against preventable diseases. Our goal is to support the long-term health and well-being of your exotic companion through every stage of life.
5. Exotics Grooming Services
Keeping exotic pets comfortable and healthy goes beyond check-ups—it includes proper grooming care to prevent injury and improve quality of life. Our gentle, stress-minimized grooming services are performed by skilled veterinary professionals who understand the sensitivities of exotic species.
- Avian Grooming – (nail, wing, and beak trims): Proper grooming helps your bird maintain balance, prevent overgrowth, and reduce the risk of injury. We offer safe, precise wing and nail trims to keep your feathered friend happy and healthy. Beak trims are also available when medically necessary and are performed under sedation to ensure your bird’s safety and comfort.
- Small mammal nail trims: Regular nail trims can help prevent discomfort, postural problems, or broken nails in rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small mammals. We use species-specific tools and restraint to make the process as stress-free as possible.
- Reptile nail trims: While some reptiles naturally wear down their nails, others—especially those in indoor enclosures—may require trimming. We offer gentle nail care for lizards and other reptiles to prevent overgrowth and injury, all while minimizing stress.
