Veterinary HospitalsZoo REC works with multiple veterinary hospitals to provide the highest quality of care for our animals. The typical veterinary hospital does not handle or see wildlife and exotics; thus, we utilize veterinary hospitals with staff trained in wildlife and exotics to treat our animals. These hospitals have specialized equipment to diagnosis and treat our animals.
