Queen City Animal Hospital
AAHA-Accredited Excellence in Exotic Pet Medicine and Surgery
Queen City Animal Hospital is proud to be one of the few AAHA-accredited animal hospitals in the Charlotte, NC area that offers a full panel of veterinary services for exotics, including birds, small mammals (ferrets, rabbits, and rodents), reptiles, fish, and amphibians. Several of their doctors took extra time during their veterinary school training to focus on the unique aspects of being a veterinarian for exotics. The clinical team understands that birds, rabbits, fish, and small mammals can become ill and rapidly decline in less than 24 hours, and that reptiles can be ill for months before showing symptoms. The practice's comprehensive exotic services include wellness examinations, sterilization surgeries, dental procedures, sick exams, laser therapy, nutritional consults, and husbandry consultations. The hospital is Fear Free and Cat Friendly certified, providing compassionate care for all pets.

AAHA-accredited and it shows! My rabbit received excellent dental care here. The vets really know exotics and explained everything about his continuously growing teeth. Very professional!

One of the few places in Charlotte that truly understands reptile medicine. My bearded dragon had been sick for weeks before we found QCAH. They diagnosed the problem immediately. Highly recommend!
