Animal Ark Animal Hospital is able to provide a variety of customized exotic pet care services here in Franklin, TN for rabbits, ferrets, and various rodents. Like dogs and cats, exotic pet species also have a wide range of healthcare needs, and require routine checkups with a qualified vet to ensure that they remain disease-free, pain-free, and happy. In addition to providing preventive care to protect your companion from disease, our respectful and responsive team can also administer treatment for common illnesses.
