Small Animal Veterinarians
Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, rats, hamsters, gerbils, mice, reptiles, birds and other small animals require a veterinarian who has the expertise to properly treat “exotic” pets to give them the best care possible.
Below is a list of vet clinics in the Hamilton/Burlington/Guelph/Niagara areas that we have either used ourselves, or confirmed that the clinic has a vet on staff who specializes in small animal care. Please note that this is not a complete list.
Be sure to call ahead to confirm the small animal vet is still at the clinic, and that they see the specific species you’re inquiring about. Though these clinics offer specialized care to small animals, some may not necessarily spay or neuter them.
