Exotic Veterinary Services in Eagle River, Alaska
Trusted care for pets that are anything but ordinary.
Expert Veterinary Care for Birds, Reptiles, and Small Mammals
We’re proud to be one of the few clinics in Eagle River, Anchorage, and the surrounding areas that offer comprehensive exotic veterinary services. Whether you share your home with a parrot, a bearded dragon, or a ferret, we understand that exotic pets have unique needs—and they deserve equally unique care.
Our team of experienced veterinarians and technicians have additional training in exotic species, including avian medicine, reptile care, and small mammal veterinary services. We deliver species-specific wellness care, diagnostics, surgery, and emergency treatment in a calm and safe environment that puts your pet’s health first.

Whether you’re managing long-term care or navigating an urgent issue, we’re here to help every step of the way.
Reptile Veterinary Care
Our experienced vets are trained to care for a wide range of non-venomous reptiles, including but not limited to:
- Bearded dragons
- Leopard geckos
- Ball pythons
- Corn snakes
- Turtles and tortoises
- Chameleons and iguanas
Reptiles require highly specific husbandry—temperature regulation, humidity, lighting, and nutrition all impact their health. We provide guidance on proper enclosures, substrate, UVB exposure, and feeding schedules, along with diagnosis and treatment of common issues like metabolic bone disease, skin infections, and respiratory illnesses.
Small Mammal Veterinary Care
As your local small mammal vet, we offer tailored care for species such as:
- Rabbits
- Guinea pigs
- Ferrets
- Hamsters
- Gerbils
- Mice and rats
- Sugar gliders
These delicate companions can hide symptoms of illness until conditions become serious. That’s why regular exams and prompt care are so important. Our team is experienced in treating dental problems, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory infections, tumors, and other conditions common in small mammals. We also offer elective and emergency surgeries when needed.
Avian Veterinary Care
Birds are intelligent, sensitive pets that require specialized veterinary attention. Our vets provide care for some of the following avian pets:
- Parrots (including macaws, cockatoos, conures, African greys)
- Budgerigars (budgies)
- Canaries and finches
- Cockatiels
- Doves and pigeons
Avian health depends heavily on environmental quality, nutrition, and enrichment. We offer routine wellness exams, grooming (wing, beak, and nail trims), diagnostics, and parasite screening. From nutritional counseling to treating egg binding, feather plucking, or respiratory distress, we’re here to help your bird thrive.
