Why does my exotic pet need routine veterinary visits?

Annual veterinary visits are essential for your pet’s health. During these visits, the veterinarian will conduct physical exams and perform diagnostic tests to identify any underlying health concerns. They will also offer guidance on proper housing, nutrition, preventive care, and insights into your pet’s behaviour.

2. Bumps, lumps and lesions or wounds on the skin
3. Colour change in their urine and consistency of their stool
