Opening April 2025
Welcome to The Exotic Animal Vets – a Specialist-led veterinary practice serving all exotic pet species from Anacondas to Zebra fish. TEAV will be the only specialist-led practice in the North of England.
Head vet Molly Varga Smith is an RCVS Recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine with more than 30 years’ experience treating non-traditional companion animals.
In addition to clinical work, Molly has written the Textbook of Rabbit Medicine (2nd and 3rd Editions) and has contributed chapters to a variety of other textbooks related to exotic animal medicine.
Molly lectures widely, in the UK, Europe, the US and China. We need to recognise that good veterinary care is a team effort.
Our whole team are capable of handling, treating and advising on a wide variety of species and we have appropriate hospitalisation facilities should they need some more intensive care.
We look forward to meeting you and your exotic pets soon.
