3. Rabbit and Rodent Dentistry
Dental health is vital for rabbits, as dental issues can lead to serious and complicated health problems. Our services include comprehensive oral exams, dental procedures, and treatment of dental abscesses, all supported by advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis and care. Please note that patients must be placed under anesthesia for all dental procedures 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, amphibian, fish, or small mammal. Our comprehensive wellness visits include physical assessments, nutritional counseling, habitat review, and species-specific diagnostics and preventative medicine, including vaccinations for rabbits and ferrets. 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. Grooming services are available to all active clients with an up-to-date yearly exam.

  • Avian Grooming – (nail and beak trims): Proper grooming helps your bird maintain balance, prevent overgrowth, and reduce the risk of injury. We offer safe, precise 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. Wing trims are performed based on patient needs.
  • 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. If nail trims have been stressful in the past, please let us know and we can discuss medication that can be given at home to make them more comfortable.
  • Reptile Nail and Beak 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, turtles, and tortoises to prevent overgrowth and injury, all while minimizing stress Tortoises on captive diets commonly develop overgrown beaks. We offer sedated beak trims to help with patient health and comfort.
