Of course! Finding a vet for an exotic pet is very important, as they have specialized needs that general cat and dog vets are not trained to handle.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you find a qualified exotic pet veterinarian near you, along with some key things to look for.

1. Use Specialized Vet Finders (Best First Step)

These are databases specifically for vets who see exotic animals.

  • Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) Find a Vet:

  • Website: https://arav.org/find-a-vet/

  • Best for: Snakes, Lizards, Turtles, Frogs, Salamanders.

  • Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) Find a Vet:

  • Website: https://www.aav.org/search/custom.asp?id=1809

  • Best for: Birds, including Parrots, Canaries, Cockatiels, etc.

  • Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians (AEMV) Find a Vet:

  • Website: https://www.aemv.org/page/FindaVet

  • Best for: "Pocket Pets" like Rabbits, Ferrets, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Rats, Chinchillas, Hedgehogs.

  • The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) Specialist Search:

  • Website: https://abvp.com/find-a-diplomate/

  • Search Tip: Under "Specialty," you can select Avian Practice, Reptile & Amphibian Practice, or Exotic Companion Mammal Practice. A vet who is "board-certified" is a specialist with the highest level of accreditation.


2. Use General Search Terms (and How to Refine Them)

While a simple web search is a good start, using specific terms will yield better results.

  • Good: exotic pet vet near me

  • Better: avian and exotic veterinary clinic

  • Specific: rabbit savvy vet near me or reptile veterinarian [Your City]


When you get results, always check the clinic's website. Look for a "Services" or "Our Team" page to confirm they explicitly list your type of pet.

3. What to Look For in a Potential Vet

Once you have a few names, here's how to vet the vet:

  • Species-Specific Expertise: Do they list your specific type of pet (e.g., not just "birds" but "psittacines/parrots," not just "reptiles" but "bearded dragons")?

  • Services Offered: Do they offer specialized services like beak/wing/nail trims, radiology (x-rays), surgery, and hospitalization for exotics? This indicates they have the proper equipment.

  • Ask Questions: Don't be afraid to call and ask:

  • "Do you have a veterinarian on staff who sees [your pet's species] regularly?"

  • "What is your experience with common health issues for [your pet's species]?"

  • "Do you have an emergency protocol for exotic pets?"


4. Be Prepared to Travel

Depending on where you live, the closest qualified exotic vet might be 30-60 minutes away. For the health of your unique pet, it's often worth the drive.

Quick Search Based on Your Pet Type:


  • For Birds (Parrots, Cockatiels, etc.): Start with the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) directory.

  • For Reptiles (Snakes, Lizards, Turtles): Start with the Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) directory.

  • For Small Mammals (Rabbits, Ferrets, Guinea Pigs, etc.): Start with the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians (AEMV) directory.

  • For a general search covering all types: Use the ABVP Specialist Search.


I hope this helps you find excellent care for your unique companion! If you're comfortable sharing your general location (state or major city), I can try to help you start your search.
