At Clínica Veterinaria Galivet, we also care for those unique companions that are not cats or dogs. Birds, reptiles, small mammals, amphibians, and other exotic pets require a specialized veterinary approach, and our team is prepared to provide the high-quality medical attention they deserve.
An exotic pet is considered to be any companion animal outside the most common species, such as dogs and cats. This category includes birds (parrots, cockatiels, canaries), reptiles (iguanas, turtles, snakes), amphibians (frogs, salamanders), small mammals (ferrets, rabbits, miniature pigs) and Rrodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas).
Each of these species has very specific needs in terms of diet, housing, handling, and disease prevention—making it essential to have veterinarians trained in exotic animal medicine.
Our team includes Juan Martínez Celdrán, a veterinarian with 35 years of experience in exotic pets, qualified to care for a wide range of species with a personalized and respectful approach. Our services include:
Vaccination & Preventive Medicine:
Tailored vaccination protocols for species such as rabbits and ferrets, along with individualized health plans according to species, age, and lifestyle.
Specialized Surgeries:
We perform surgical procedures on exotic pets, including soft tissue surgery, orthopedics, and microsurgery, taking into account their size and anatomical particularities.
General Medicine & Guidance:
Routine check-ups, advanced diagnostics, and species-specific treatments, as well as advice on nutrition, environmental enrichment, hygiene, and daily care.
We know that having an exotic pet is a special experience, and we want to help you enjoy it to the fullest. At Galivet, every patient is treated individually, with empathy, respect, and professionalism—ensuring veterinary care adapted to their unique needs.
Do you have a ferret, parrot, iguana, or any other unconventional pet at home? We’re here to help you take care of them the way they deserve.
