There is literally no other vet I would trust to take care of my bunny Oliver. He was recently here with GI Stasis which can be fatal for a rabbit if they do not get immediate care. Island Exotic kept him for two nights and provided me with updates. Oliver is doing well now and that is all thanks to Island Exotic.

I've brought my boa here twice. The staff are awesome. At first I was worried because my boa is 7 feet long and weighs 15 pounds. Dr. Davis was excellent with her and even told me how beautiful she is haha. They are also very clear with the prices which is nice.

What a great experience. The doctors super friendly, professional, sympathetic and helpful with my pet. The care they gave towards my Chinchilla was exceptional. They were very thorough and explained all what was done and the care that needs to follow. If you are looking for Exotic animal care this is the place! Thanks for helping Pinky.
