When a day's patients could include everything from rodents to reptiles to rabbits, exotic pet veterinarians have to be prepared with the knowledge and skills needed to treat the wide variety of conditions affecting the diverse species they treat. Dr. Robert Ness, veterinarian and owner of Ness Exotic Wellness Center, has found that combining high-end traditional veterinary services with alternative therapies has helped his staff provide top-notch care for the patients whose owners travel from throughout the Midwest to see them.

Here at FLAVORx for Pets, we love learning about our customers and finding out how passionate they are about helping their patients. The team at Kennesaw Mountain Animal Hospital wowed us with their dedication to the health and comfort of their patients, and we're excited to share their story! Best known for their family atmosphere, the KMAH team strives to provide both patients and clients with exceptional care. We spoke with Tina Payton, the hospital's Marketing Specialist, who told us all about their amazing team, the benefit of fear-free veterinary care, and how they use the FLAVORx program to help their patients.

People travel from all over the state of North Carolina and beyond to the Raleigh-based animal hospital to seek the high-quality, specialized care they provide. We spoke with veterinarian Dr. Daniel Johnson, or "Dr. Dan" as he's known to pet owners, to learn more about AEAC and the work they do for animals of all shapes and sizes!
