Hillside Pet Clinic
Comprehensive Exotic Animal Care - Understanding Nature, Behavior, and Diet
Hillside Pet Clinic is a full-service veterinary hospital located in Anchorage, Alaska, dedicated to providing comprehensive care for both traditional and exotic pets. We believe that exotic pets are fascinating animals that enrich our lives and broaden our understanding of the animal kingdom. To properly care for exotic animals, we emphasize a thorough understanding of natural behavior, environment, and diet. Our veterinary team provides specialized medical care for a wide variety of exotic species including rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, mice, ferrets, birds (canaries, parakeets, chickens), reptiles (tortoises, bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, snakes), and amphibians (frogs, toads). We stress the importance of regular wellness examinations to establish baseline weights, identify body condition issues, and discuss proper diet, housing, and environmental enrichment. Many exotic pets are prey animals and experts at masking illness, making preventative care essential. Our facility is equipped with advanced diagnostic capabilities and our team is trained in proper exotic pet handling and transport requirements.
