Exotic Pet Care in Coram, NY
Dogs and cats aren’t the only ones who deserve exceptional veterinary care. At Island Veterinary Hospital, we provide comprehensive medical care for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small companion animals. These pets have unique health needs, and we have the knowledge and experience to address them.
Beyond Cats and Dogs
Small companion animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are more popular than ever and deserve specialized veterinary attention more than they sometimes get. These species have distinct anatomical, physiological, and dietary needs that differ significantly from those of dogs and cats, and they require a veterinarian who understands those differences.
At Island Veterinary Hospital, we’re equipped to provide wellness exams, disease diagnosis and treatment, nutritional counseling, and surgical care (including dental procedures) for small mammals. We do dental work on rabbits and chinchillas, too, because dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting these species and often goes unrecognized until it becomes serious.
Pocket pets are also experts at masking illness, which makes regular wellness exams especially important. During these visits, we’ll assess your pet’s overall health, discuss husbandry and habitat, and provide guidance to help your companion thrive at home. An informed owner is a small pet’s best advocate, and we take education seriously at every visit.
If you have a small companion animal and are looking for a veterinarian who truly understands their needs, we’d love to meet them. Call us at (631) 736-6868 to schedule an appointment.
