What a Wellness Examination Consists Of

At a wellness examination, our veterinarians and staff teach you the specifics of bird and exotic pet care, including:

  • Proper diet
  • Cage set up
  • Bedding
  • Environmental requirements such as temperature, light, and heat
  • Nutritional supplementation
  • Aging changes
  • Vaccinations
  • Species-specific behavior
  • Enrichment and foraging

…and more, in effort to help keep your bird or exotic pet as healthy as possible.

Our team will also help you by discussing surgical recommendations (including spaying, neutering, and dental cleaning), showing you proper grooming techniques (such as nail trims for exotic pets and wing trims for birds), as well as reviewing health requirements for pet boarding at the Veterinary Center, if your pet needs to vacation with us while you’re away.

We strongly believe that preventive care is the best means of keeping pets healthy. Prevention of illness is the key to keeping costs down later and helping us identify potential health conditions early, before they become potentially life-threatening emergency situations.
