Exotic Pets

Do you prefer your animal companion to be covered in feathers or scales? Is the company of an exotic creature something you relish?

At Marriottsville Animal Hospital, we recognize that not everyone chooses a dog or cat as their pet. We also understand that birds, reptiles and exotics have special needs and requirements to keep them happy and healthy. Our doctors and staff are fully trained in exotic pet care. We can answer any questions you may have about a new or existing pet.

Marriottsville Animal Hospital sees all kinds of exotic animals including but not limited to:

• Birds
• Rats
• Hamsters
• Ferrets
• Lizards
• Chinchillas
• Gerbils
• Guinea pigs
• Rabbits
• Sugar gliders
• Turtles

The extensive list of exotic pet care services we offer includes, but is not limited to:

• Wing, beak, and nail trims for birds
• Wellness exams
• Emergency and critical care
• X-rays and blood work
• Dietary needs and supplements

Choosing to own an exotic pet requires a special kind of owner, one that can afford to commit the time to provide the appropriate care. These kinds of animals make very rewarding companions but it’s important to remember that because they are not a typical pet, they have special needs. We can provide the guidance, advice and support you need to help your unique pet thrive.

Please feel free to give us a call and ask our passionate team of animal lovers any questions you may have about exotic pets.
