Exotics

At Bemidji, our team is trained to see more than just cats and dogs!

Before choosing small mammals, birds, and reptiles as pets, doing as much research as possible is important. These animals have needs that may be very different from cats and dogs, and it’s important to plan for those needs.

Types Of Exotic Pets

Our exotic vet, Dr. Stinar, is accepting new exotic patients, including

• Ferrets

Please note that if you are uncertain if we can provide care for your exotic pet, contact our hospital directly.

Specialty Services for Your Exotic Pets

Regardless of species, we recommend annual wellness exams for every patient. Exotic pet care exams include a complete health check and conversation regarding husbandry, nutrition, handling, habitat, and other factors that determine their quality of life. If you notice any sign of disease or illness in your pet, please bring it to our attention immediately. What appears to be a minor infection, or a small cold, can escalate very quickly.

Additional exotic pet services we offer include

• Spays & Neuters for applicable species
• Vaccinations for applicable species
• Dentals
• Nail (and beak) Trims
• Sick visits including, but not limited to, ears, eyes, skins & lethargy
• Mass removals
