Pender Exotics Veterinary Centre
Birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, snakes and ferrets are all brought to Pender Exotics Veterinary Centre to receive the best in exotic veterinary services and care from our team of veterinarians and specialists. Founded in 1999 as a department of Pender Veterinary Centre, Pender Exotics and its array of exotic veterinary services have grown with the increasing popularity of exotic pets. Your reptiles, birds or small mammals may be a bit more unique and unusual than the cats and dogs your neighbors have, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give them the highest standard of exotic veterinary care!

Pender’s Wildlife Rescue Protocol
If you find a healthy orphaned wild animal, please contact the Wildlife Hotline: 703-440-0800. The volunteers will assist you and connect you with a rehabilitator to take the foundling. You will be asked to transport the orphan to the rehabilitator.
Pender Exotics Veterinary Centre rescues 5 injured wild animals per day until we reach a maximum capacity of 12 animals in hospital. We do this as a service for the community and local shelter.
If our wildlife caseload reaches maximum capacity (12 cases), we will direct you to the wildlife hotline (703-440-0800) for assistance and additional resources.
Thank you for being a good Samaritan to our wildlife friends.
Exotic Veterinary Services at Pender
Eating issues:
One of the first signs of illness in many exotic species is a lack of appetite, or not eating. Our veterinary experts work with you and your pet to discern the underlying cause(s) and the correct path to fixing it.
Husbandry:
Maintaining the proper environment is critically important to many exotic species. The veterinarians at Pender Exotics can guide you through the proper housing set up, lighting, cleaning and maintenance concerns for each exotic species.

Rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and reptiles are subject to respiratory infections. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help you and your pet breathe a whole lot easier.
