Veterinary Services

If you own an exotic pet in Suffolk then you need Suffolk Exotic Vet Services. Exotic pet means any bird, reptile, rabbit, rodent, ferret, hedgehog or amphibian – basically any small pet which isn’t a cat or dog.

For many years the owners of exotic pets in Suffolk who wanted the best care for their pets had to travel long distances to access it. Suffolk Exotic Vet Services was set up to fill that gap and provide high quality safe veterinary treatment for pets like yours.

Catherine has been working with exotic and avian patients for 8 years but was frustrated by the limitations of the lack of time and equipment to deal with these patients in the way they deserved while working in normal small animal practice.

So in early 2014 she came up with a plan and set up Suffolk Exotic Vet Services. She bought all of the equipment that she had been longing for and completed extra training to be able to use the equipment proficiently. Then she started running exotic animal clinics in established practices across Suffolk.

In 2020 Catherine planned and set up a brand new clinic solely for Suffolk Exotic Vets patients. The clinic is on the first floor above Wangford Veterinary Clinic, meaning that we benefit from the facilities within Wangford Vets but we have our own designated area with facilities made specifically for exotic pets. We are away from all of the cats and dogs, so we can make your pet’s visit to us as stress free as possible.

Suffolk Exotic Vets sees all species of exotic pets. We accept pets registered with us as their primary vets and also pets referred to us from surrounding veterinary practices.
