We Care for More Than Just Dogs and Cats
At Suffield Veterinary Hospital, we know that pets come in all shapes and sizes. That's why, in addition to dogs and cats, we also provide veterinary care for a range of exotic animals — including birds, rabbits, and small pocket pets like hamsters and guinea pigs.
Our team is trained and experienced in exotic animal care, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands when you bring them to us. We treat every patient with the same level of attention and care, no matter how big or small.
Exotic Pets We See
- Birds — From parakeets and cockatiels to parrots and other companion birds, we can provide wellness exams, address health concerns, and advise on nutrition and care.
- Rabbits — Rabbits have specific health needs that are quite different from dogs and cats. We're experienced in rabbit care and can help with routine checkups, dental issues, digestive concerns, and more.
- Guinea Pigs — These gentle animals are prone to certain health conditions that require a knowledgeable hand. We provide wellness exams and treatment for guinea pigs of all ages.
- Hamsters — Small but complex, hamsters can develop a range of health issues. We're equipped to examine and treat hamsters and advise on their care at home.
- Ferrets — Ferrets are curious, active animals with their own unique set of health needs. We provide wellness care and treatment for ferrets, including guidance on vaccinations and common conditions they're prone to.
- Other Pocket Pets — If you have a small animal that isn't listed here, give us a call. We're happy to let you know whether we're able to help.
Wellness Care for Exotic Pets
Just like dogs and cats, exotic pets benefit from routine veterinary care. Regular checkups allow us to catch health issues early, keep an eye on weight and nutrition, and make sure your pet is thriving. Many exotic animals are very good at hiding signs of illness — by the time something seems obviously wrong, the problem may have been developing for a while. Routine wellness visits are one of the best ways to stay ahead of that.
If you've never brought your exotic pet in for a checkup, or if it's been a while since their last visit, now is a good time to schedule one. We'll give them a thorough look and let you know where things stand.
Trusted Pet Care & a Friendly Welcome for Every Pet
