Birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, snakes and ferrets are all brought to Valley Oak Veterinary Center to receive the best in exotic veterinary services and care from Dr. Dohner and his team of technicians. 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. We also see raptors and roosters and don't be surprised if a goose waddles by or if you hear a pot bellied pig oinking in the reception area... we see them all.
