Give your exotic pets the care and attention they need to live long, happy, and healthy lives.
Exotic Veterinary Care at our Rolesville and Louisburg Locations
We provide a wide array of veterinary care and services from preventative care to advanced laser surgery.
Affordable & Compassionate Care for your Exotic Pets
At Rolesville Veterinary Hospital, we believe that all animals, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales, should have access to quality veterinary care. Routine veterinary visits for our exotic animal species is especially important since they all have unique needs and often do not show signs of sickness until they have been ill for a while. During annual check-ups with your exotic pet, we thoroughly evaluate husbandry and care to ensure all the unique needs of your pet are being met. We can also catch and treat early signs of disease that your exotic pet may be hiding.
If your exotic pet is showing any change in appetite, energy level, behavior, or any other sign that something may be off, we strongly urge you to call us to have your exotic pet seen by one of our veterinarians.

Rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, mice, chinchillas, sugar gliders, hamsters, hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, birds, pot-bellied pigs, and many others! Give us a call if you have an exotic pet not on this list that you’d like to be seen by a veterinarian.

Bird Grooming
For your pet bird, grooming is not just about beauty. It’s also about their health and safety in a captive environment. At Rolesville Veterinary Hospital, we offer wing clipping, as well as beak and claw trimming for pet birds. By routinely trimming your bird’s wing, you make it safer for them to live and exist in a captive environment, reducing their chance of injury inside your home. You may also notice that your bird’s beak and claws can become ragged and irregular. In the wild, they would rely on rough surfaces to slowly grind their beak and claws into shape. At the hospital, we help prevent overgrowth by performing routine trimming.
