Unveiling Exotic Pet Care

Exotic pets have different needs than standard pets like dogs and cats. It's important to work with a vet experienced in exotic pet care to keep your pet healthy. At Apollo Animal Hospital in Surrey, we offer exotic pet care.

Dietary Needs of Exotic Pets

Exotic pets have different dietary needs than other pets. If you have questions about your pet's diet, your vet can provide the guidance you need.

Habitat Needs

Exotic pets essentially need a habitat that mimics what they would have in the wild. The specific habitat your pet will need will vary based on their species. Some pets need a terrarium, others need a cage, and still, others require an aquarium.

Environmental Factors

In addition to their basic habitat needs, exotic pets typically have more environmental needs. For example, a dog can thrive in a wide range of temperatures. A rabbit, on the other hand, does best with a temperature of about 60 to 65 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 80, it can affect their health. In addition to temperature, your pet may require a certain level of humidity.

Specialized Veterinary Care

All pets need a vet knowledgeable about their care, needs, and potential health issues. Exotic pets require specialized care tailored to their needs. You should have a vet on call before you need them. It's best to meet with a vet before you get an exotic pet. If you already have your pet, schedule an initial appointment and a well visit. This allows your vet to get familiar with your pet and ensures your pet's health.
