At Animals Are Us we are extremely well-equipped to treat all manner of exotic pets including small birds, parrots, birds of prey, reptiles, amphibians, fish and small mammals - not only rabbits, ferrets and rodents but also the more unusual patients such as pygmy hedgehogs, sugar gliders and marmosets. 

All of our staff have a keen interest in exotic species and are trained in their specialised care and requirements.  We are also very lucky to have two vets and one nurse with extensive practical husbandry experience and specialist training and qualifications in Avian and Exotic Medicine (see Staff page).

We are dedicated to providing optimum care and welfare for your pets, and have invested heavily in equipment and facilities to cater for the more unusual pets as well as cats, dogs and rabbits.

Such investment includes:

• Dedicated avian and exotics ward to minimise stress and provide for specific requirements depending on species
• Thermostatically controlled vivariums and tortoise tables with provision for correct heating, ventilation and UV light provision for our reptilian patients
• Isolation facilites for care of potentially infectious patients with strict barrier nursing care
• Safe and reliable anaesthesia equipment and drugs to ensure the safety of your pets including Doppler probes and respirator

 We have a range of specialist equipment for treatment of birds, reptiles and small mammals including:

• High standard Xray machine, ECG, Endoscopy, Ultrasound, Diathermy
• Highly equipped laboratory for prompt diagnosis and treatment, as well as on-site faecal analysis
• Nebulisation facilities for effective treatment of respiratory cases

We are currently planning a complimentary lecture series at our newly refurbished conference room at our Hayes surgery for local groups and clients on various aspects of pet care including husbandry of exotic species as well as case studies outlining common veterinary problems and how to avoid them. Please keep checking online and at our surgeries for more information.
