   Canley Heights Veterinary Clinic suits planned visits: it takes appointments only, and there is on-site parking for birds, rabbits and reptiles. Its base is Canley Heights, where it runs X-ray and ultrasound on site. Its after-hours emergency cover is limited to established clients, so new clients with an urgent exotic should phone first. Two recent customers report urgent visits refused when the clinic was busy or closing soon.

The group's site names this office without saying which services are offered on site, so ask at booking which exotic services it can do.

How we picked bird and exotic pet vets in Fairfield

Clinics were ordered by the exotic animals each one lists and the exotic pet care it offers, as stated on its own pages. A clinic with a long run of customer reviews weighs more than one with only a handful. After-hours cover is counted only where a clinic's own pages describe it, and those pages were read for this kind of care.
