Exotics

Beloved pets come in every variety, shape and color, and so at Bulger, we treat them too.

Exotic animals have unique anatomy, physiology and their own medical needs. Keeping your exotic animal happy and healthy is the passion of the exotic animal service. Our goal is to offer the same quality of medical care that you would expect for any of your other pets (or for yourself).

Our specialists in this area are very experienced and passionate about all the animals that they treat. They are board certified in at least one category of species. Several years of advanced training beyond veterinary school are involved in training a specialist in any area of exotic animal medicine.  Set up an appointment today if you think your pet needs emergency or veterinary primary care.

The exotics service offers advanced diagnostic testing, imaging, medicine and surgery as well as understanding of the unique aspects of the human-animal bond with these species from anacondas to iguanas, to goldfish, ferrets, rabbits, and everything in between.
