Cats and dogs are amazing pets to have, but you may be considering something a little more...exotic. Exotic pets may not be as popular as other animals that you are used to seeing as part of a family’s household, but they can be just as fun, rewarding, and easy to form bonds with!
Birds, for example, are highly intelligent animals that can be taught to or vocalize. Turtles, if provided the proper habitat and dietary requirements, can be another great addition to your home with their unique personalities. Reptiles are quiet, low-maintenance, scaly friends that can also offer you companionship without all the hassle. Read more below to discover what type of care each of these animals needs and if they’re right for you.

"Alvi Veterinary Hospital really cares about your pet and your peace of mind. I have been coming to Dr Alvi since 1995 when it was close to my home, I now live almost a half hour away but I wouldn’t take my cats anywhere else! The staff and doctors are very sweet, kind and are very thorough. Furthermore, their practice is fairly priced. The doctors are immediately responsive to emergency situations. Everyone is so compassionate at Dr. Alvi’s Office. Your pets are in good care at Alvi veterinary hospital!"
