The Exotic Pet Clinic is Santa Cruz’s first veterinary hospital devoted exclusively to exotic pets. Animals like rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds, hedgehogs, and ferrets have unique needs, and we specialize in meeting those needs. Our highly trained staff provide our patients with advanced medical, surgical, and wellness services. Our customized facility offers exotic pets a peaceful and calm environment free from dogs and cats. There are about 30 boarded exotic companion mammal veterinarians in the world, and Dr. Stern is one of them. She is the only veterinarian in California with this certification.
