Love Knows No Species Exotics and pocket pets come in all shapes and sizes, and they deserve – just like more conventional pet companions – the best of care. At Village Veterinary Hospital, we gladly treat most exotic pets and their unique medical needs. Dr. Matt VanWinkle has a wide base of knowledge and is actively seeking more knowledge, every day.

We recommend an annual wellness exam to ensure your exotic pet is healthy, and these exams give us a baseline for future reference in the event your pet ever falls ill. Annual exams also provide you with time with our veterinarians to answer all your health, behavior, environmental, and nutrition questions.
