What customers said about exotic animals
Santa Clara Animal HospitalAbsolutely amazing staff! So loving and caring towards my exotic pet. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable and reassured me that they would do everything they could to provide the best care. And they did!! If you have a pet that is like a child to you, definitely bring them here!<3 Thank you all so much again!
Santa Clara Animal HospitalDr. Pappas is loving & caring, to my rabbit, and to my feelings as a pet owner..knowledgeable, in regards to care & honest about the care plan moving forward with my rabbit(Jack). She is who you want looking after your family pet
Santa Clara Animal HospitalI was greeted with a Welcome. Dr. Pappas treated my rabbit with kindness and pleasant to be around as well as her vet tech. I will continue to go back to her.
Santa Clara Animal HospitalWas a great experience! My dragon was treated quickly and lovingly. The vet was awesome with her and got her nails trimmed nice and short!
Santa Clara Animal HospitalDr britney Giddens has helped me with a few of my ferrets over the years. I trust her with my babies, and that means everything. However, in the last few years the cost for exams, vaccines, and fecal tests have all gone up and prices were already pretty high. I choose to only bring my exotics here, and my cats elsewhere to save $$
Santa Clara Animal HospitalI have been bringing my reptiles here for nearly 2 years now! The care they get here is beyond exceptional and the staff's knowledge about reptiles is fantastic. I have a leopard gecko with some pretty unusual health issues which often result in reoccurring infections and they have always been able to get me in…
