Exotic pet care

During veterinary school at Kansas State University, Dr. Wood received specific training on basic husbandry and veterinary care for numerous exotic pet species. We would be happy to examine and make recommendations for your pet.
All companion species are welcome with the exception of: Any poisonous species, Pot-bellied pigs, Monkeys or other non-human primates of any kind. Pioneer Animal Hospital works in association with Beak N Wings, Inc. in Kansas City. Bird owners will find this organization highly insightful and informative.

Hospitalization
Pioneer Animal Hospital has the ability to hospitalize those pets that require in-house treatment and monitoring. Our trained veterinary technicians are competent in IV catheter placement and routine patient monitoring. IV fluid pumps will provide accurate fluid administration on an on-going basis. For our distressed or respiratory compromised patents, our ICU features an oxygen cage with the ability to administer some medications via nebulizer.

*Please note due to time and staffing constraints we are unable to provide 24-hour care. If your pet’s condition requires intense 24-hour monitoring we recommend transfer to Mission MedVet or the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center.

Recommendations for your dog and cat
Pioneer Animal Hospital believes strongly in a minimum standard of care for all pets. Below are the recommendations we have established. We also understand that each pet has its own needs for care. We will tailor these and/or additional recommendations for your pet at each visit.
  • Wellness examinations every 6 months.
  • Wellness blood testing yearly starting at age 3.
  • Fecal Flotation for intestinal parasites at least yearly.
  • Heartworm prevention monthly for the entire year (tests on healthy cats not recommended at this time)
  • Flea and tick prevention monthly for the entire year.
  • Vaccinations annually as determined by health status, lifestyle and law.
  • Science Diet food.
