exotic vet services

We not only treat dogs and cats, but also exotics! Pearland Pet Health Center can see and treat almost any exotic animal that can legally be called a pet. Dr. Beth Rodney and Dr. Felician Brennan are our veterinarians who see exotics.

We recommend a yearly exam on all exotics. Yearly blood work is also recommended for some exotics, especially as they approach their senior years. Pearland Pet Health Center also has the capability to hospitalize and do some surgery on most exotics. Can't swing by for an appointment? Call us to schedule a house call appointment!

All exotic animals need to be current patients and current on their yearly exams to have a nail trim at our facility.
