Magnolia House Veterinary Clinic

Magnolia House Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-run practice treating small animals and exotics. The website highlights Fear Free Certification and ISFM Silver Cat Friendly Clinic status, and reviews repeatedly point to the clinic being set up particularly well for exotics—especially guinea pigs, chinchillas, tortoises and bearded dragons. Owners frequently name specific vets (Stan and Jenny) and describe detailed communication (for example, explaining conditions like metabolic bone disease and mouth rot, and discussing options with cost in mind).
