Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital

We are the largest complete care hospital in Arizona that restricts its practice to exotic pets!

Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital is located a few blocks north of downtown Main Street in Mesa at 744 N. Center Street. We are within a 45 minute drive of most of the Valley via the 202, 101 or 60 (outside of rush hour!).  Although the majority of our clients come from Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Ahwatukee, we have clients devoted to their pets who travel from as far away as Kingman, Flagstaff, Sedona, Casa Grande, and even Kanab, Utah! 

Our goal is to provide the highest quality veterinary care for your exotic pet in surroundings devoted to its well-being.

Walk into our hospital and you will notice what makes us different from many other hospitals -- it's quiet!  There are no barking dogs that are the background noise in small animal hospitals.  Sure, some of our parrot patients like to get loud once in a while, but as a rule our hospital is quiet.

Our hospital features state-of-the-art equipment and technology throughout its 5000 square feet of space.

• We have an in-house laboratory so that we can rapidly provide you with many diagnostic test results when necessary.
• We have high frequency x-ray machine that will take excellent x-ray films of anything from a cockatiel to a large African spurred tortoise.
• Our surgical suite features an endoscopy set that includes digital photography and video capacity. This allows us to diagnose and document many problems that would otherwise be undetectable without major surgery.  We'll provide you with a CD of the procedure as well as a color print-out so you can see what we saw.
• We offer radiosurgery for many operations, a technology that causes less damage to tissues than laser surgery. This means less pain and a speedier recovery for your pet.
• We have a wide variety of surgical tools designed specifically for exotic pets.
• We provide dental care for small mammals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas that need cheek teeth filing or extraction of abscessed teeth.
• We have different hospital environments tailored to the specific needs of exotic pets including an Intensive Care Unit that is closely monitored by all of our staff.
• Our pharmacy stocks amost every drug or medical supply your exotic pet will need--if we don't carry it, we will get it for you quickly.
• We carry high quality diets and other items for your pets such as Harrison's Organic Bird Food, Oxbow Hay products, and AVIx products.

We are also attentive to your comfort.

• We provide plenty of covered parking so that your car can be in the shade while you are inside with your pet.  There is a loading area right in front of our lobby door so that you may pull up and bring your pet inside rather than carry it across the parking lot.
• We provide a welcoming reception area (and receptionist!), a spacious waiting room with a big screen television playing a variety of nature programming, a variety of nature books and magazines, comfortable couches and chairs, and a refrigerator with chilled bottle water.

Covered parking is available on most of our lot.
