Outside of BloomingPaws Vet Clinic, exotic pets can visit on a case-by-case basis.

Please provide proof of vaccinations or schedule an appointment with your veterinarian in advance of your visit.

Pets with expired vaccines, diarrhea, vomiting, injury, respiratory illness symptoms or other symptoms of a contagious nature will not be admitted to BloomingPaws, LLC. Pets with pre-existing conditions, such as seizures, any organ disease, hip dysplasia, recent surgery, etc., will be required to schedule an appointment with our veterinarian prior to boarding and may be required to sign a Special Needs Boarding Form. It is important for those pets and pet parents to meet our veterinarian.

It is common to find problems or potential problems in apparently healthy pets upon in-take inspections, such as ear infections, small wounds/hot spots or parasites. A member of our staff will contact you if we notice any potential issues.

Any pets that display communicable diseases or parasites (e.g. coughing, sneezing, eye discharge, intestinal parasites, diarrhea, fleas, etc.) after arriving will be isolated from all other pets. Pet parents will be contacted in the event their pet is isolated. If approved by the pet parent, our veterinarian can examine the pet to recommend the best course of action.

Special handling fees may apply if your pet needs to remain isolated.
