FAQ:

How can I find out if there is a veterinarian on duty at the Los Altos or Los Gatos location who can see my Small Mammal? Please call (650) 948-9661 between 8am-5pm.

Why can’t you guarantee that there is a veterinarian on every day that sees Small Mammals? Not all of our doctors are comfortable seeing exotics and we want to make sure if you come in, you and your pet will be well taken of. Also, some doctors only have experience with certain species.

Are the veterinarians on during the day exotics specialists? No, none of our veterinarians are exotics specialists. Many Adobe veterinarians have a special interest and extensive experience treating exotic species.

If the Veterinarian on duty isn’t an exotic specialist or has limited experience with exotic species, do all the usual fees apply? Yes. All the usual fees apply.

Is there a veterinarian on duty at Adobe that can see exotics overnight? Unfortunately, we do not have overnight doctors at this time. We have a great team of ICU technicians that stay with hospitalized or boarding pets, but they can not examine or admit patients.
