The receptionist Zoe is extremely nice and takes care of your needs like it was her own pet. I called in concern of my snake's breathing, and she looked up his visit history, asked me about his bedding situation, etc. Extremely nice and genuinely cares about your pet. I also took my snake in to see Dr. Payne. He was nice to my snake, examined his body and teeth, and did a sex check. They've done a good job so far and haven't had any problems.

So grateful to have found Wasatch Exotic! Dr. Payne really knows her stuff when it comes to rabbits. They took great care of my bunny and gave me helpful advice on diet and housing.

Great exotic vet! A little pricey but worth it to make sure my bearded dragon is healthy. The curbside service works well and reduces stress for my pet.
