FAQ

What makes an exotic pet clinic different from a regular veterinary clinic?

Exotic pet clinics like Boongarry Training Services typically specialise in the care of non-traditional pets such as reptiles, birds, amphibians and small mammals. These exotic pets have unique health needs, dietary requirements and habitats that differ greatly from common pets like cats and dogs. Vets at exotic pet clinics have specialised knowledge and experience dealing with these unique needs and are equipped with the necessary tools to handle delicate and intricate procedures often required with these animals. Regular veterinary clinics may not have the specialised knowledge or equipment necessary for the care of exotic pets. Therefore, if you own an exotic pet, it’s advisable to seek a clinic that specialises in exotic pet care to ensure your pet receives the best possible care.
Why is it important to get regular checkups for my exotic pet?

Regular checkups are crucial for your exotic pet's health. Unlike dogs and cats, exotic animals often don't show signs of illness until they're seriously ill. Regular veterinary visits can help catch potential issues early before they become major problems. These checkups typically include a comprehensive physical examination and may also include blood tests, faecal tests and parasite screening. Regularly monitoring and evaluating your pet's weight, diet and overall behaviour can also provide valuable insights into their wellbeing. Please remember that preventative care is always the best approach when it comes to the health of your exotic pets.
