Exotic Pet Vets (Denver)

Exotic Pet Vets is a network of specialized exotic animal hospitals serving pet owners across Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon. "Exotic pets are all we do. From reptiles, amphibians, and fish to birds, small mammals, and more — we provide specialist care, seven days a week. Proudly employee-owned!" Our Colorado location provides comprehensive exotic pet care with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced surgical suites, and is home to an experienced avian specialist, fish specialist, and exotic pet veterinarians. We care for birds (parrots, cockatiels, finches & more), reptiles & amphibians (lizards, tortoises & more), small mammals (guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits & more), fish & aquatics (freshwater, marine, koi & more), and invertebrates (tarantulas, scorpions & more). We don't treat dogs or cats — our entire practice is dedicated to exotic animals

Dr. Jay Johnson is the founder and owner of Exotic Pet Vets, the Valley's first animal hospital devoted exclusively to the care of exotic pets. As a boy growing up on the outskirts of Tucson, he was fascinated with exotic pets, especially reptiles. He received a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Sciences from the University of Arizona in 1992 and went on to veterinary school at Colorado State University graduating with a DVM degree in 1996. Dr. Anna-Marie Ruoff, after completing an internship in exotic animal medicine and surgery at Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital and pioneering a residency program in reptile and amphibian practice, is 'thrilled and proud to return home to open our Denver location as an Associate Veterinarian and as a Medical Advisory Board Member supporting all five of our hospitals: Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital in Mesa, Phoenix, and Tucson; Colorado Exotic Animal Hospital in Denver; and Avian and Exotic Veterinary Care in Portland, Oregon.' Dr. Brenna Fitzgerald relocated to the Denver area in 2021 and now serves the bird and exotic pet parents of Colorado, providing referral services to fellow practitioners in Colorado and the surrounding area
