Personalized Exotic Care in Lindale, TX
Exotic pets often require specialized knowledge and handling that differs from traditional companion animals. At Lindale Veterinary Clinic, we offer limited exotic care in Lindale, TX, for select species. Whether your pet is a reptile, bird, or small mammal, our team is prepared to help within the scope of services we provide.
Exotic care at our clinic is managed exclusively by Dr. Johnson, who has experience treating a variety of non-traditional pets. To ensure proper time and attention, all exotic pet visits are by appointment only and must be scheduled directly with our team. Appointments for exotic animals cannot be made through Vetstoria.
If you’re unsure whether your pet qualifies for care, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your animal’s needs before scheduling.
Types of Exotic Pets We See
We accept a limited range of exotic species based on Dr. Johnson’s training and comfort level. Commonly seen pets include:
- Rabbits and guinea pigs
- Hamsters, rats, and mice
- Non-venomous reptiles (bearded dragons, geckos, turtles, etc.)
- Select amphibians (frogs, salamanders)
- Some bird species (parakeets, cockatiels, and similar small birds)
Please note that exotic care is not available for venomous reptiles, primates, or large avian species.

What to Expect During an Exotic Pet Visit
Dr. Johnson approaches each exotic pet with attention to species-specific needs. Your pet’s visit may include:
- Physical examinations tailored to the species
- Basic diagnostics for illness detection
- Guidance on nutrition, habitat setup, and husbandry
- Preventive care recommendations when applicable
Since exotic animals often mask signs of illness, early evaluation is important. We recommend reaching out at the first sign of unusual behavior or physical change.
