See prices for our top services below.
Please note: 
At PETAHEAD, your pet will be seen by Dr. Laila Proença (MV, DVM, MS, PhD, DACZM), a world-renowned board-certified specialist in zoological medicine—one of the few with this level of expertise. Unlike general practitioners with experience in ‘exotics,’ Dr. Proença provides truly specialized care, ensuring precise diagnostics and the best treatment options. While pricing reflects this exclusivity, it guarantees top-tier medical care, giving your pet the best chance at a healthy future.
