I have been taking my two rabbits, Lotus and Mr. Kips here for almost two years now. This is the best exotic vet I have ever been to. The staff is so compassionate, accommodating, and sweet. Mr. Kips has chronic respiratory issues and is now getting older and having mobility issues, and they are making sure he is as comfortable and cared for as possible.

Do not recommend, Kate was super rude and extremely unprofessional when I talked to her on the phone. I have also called before and had no response even after leaving a voicemail.

I called up them up couple of times and nobody answer the phone. So, I decided to write-in to them to make an appointment for my budgies. Surprisingly, this is their response which amazed me! Sometimes, it's important to hire a right staff otherwise it's likes helping the boss to chase away the customer.

I brought my bunny, Fred, to scales and tails for the first time, and I was so impressed by the level of care, compassion, and thoroughness we received. Fred has been dealing with a stubborn eye issue for a long while, and this is the first time I’ve left an appointment truly feeling hopeful, informed, and supported. The entire staff was kind, patient, and so gentle with Fred. They took their time, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood the treatment plan and what to expect. I never felt rushed, and I really appreciated how much they truly care about their patients. Even after the appointment, their communication and follow-up have been incredible, something that means a lot when you’re dealing with an ongoing issue and just want your pet to feel better. I’m beyond grateful for the experience we had here, and I highly recommend scales and tails to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy team for their exotic pets. I finally feel like Fred is in the right hands.

I’ve been through many vets in the years of having animals, and this is the very first time that I feel 100% safe with them. They are VERY transparent about everything before hand, if you have questions they answer asap even on days they are closed (if emergency) They are very friendly, VERY thorough with checking everything your baby may need. My bearded dragon suddenly got very sick and they got her in faster than I expected honestly. You can tell how much they love and care about the animals and their jobs. I was leaving for a week and they rushed my babies medicine so she could have it and not wait until I got back. This vet saved my babies life. I usually don’t write reviews (I tend to forget about them tbh) but I wanted to make sure that I got my voice out there for them🖤 If you have exotics this is the best place you can go to get help for your baby
