We Specialize in High Quality Veterinary Care for Exotics of Portland, Oregon

Please be aware of our mask and distancing policies as of July 2024:

• We are still requiring anyone in our building (including you) to wear a commercially-made protective face mask if any people other than AEVC staff are present. N95 or KN95 types are preferred, but “surgical” blue masks are acceptable. We will provide you with a mask upon arrival if you do not have one. This mask requirement is also in effect for brief indoor interactions, for example if you are using our restroom.
• We offer both in-person/in-clinic and curbside types of appointments, with the in-person/in-clinic option being available every day of the week. In-person/in-clinic appointments no longer have a surcharge added to the consultation fee.
• If you are scheduled for an in-person/in-clinic appointment, be advised that a maximum of 2 clients (for example, you and your child, or you and your partner) can fit in our exam room for the appointment.
• If the purpose of your appointment is for humane euthanasia of your pet, remember that mask-wearing is still a requirement during the euthanasia process.
• If you cannot or do not wish to wear a mask, then we will change your appointment to be “curbside” style.
• Regardless of whether your appointment is an in-person/in-clinic type or curbside type, your pet's appointment will begin with you calling us from the parking lot, and we will come to our front door to meet you and your pet. Your pet must be in a carrier, not held in your arms. We will then either bring just your pet (in its carrier), or both you and your pet (in its carrier), into our clinic directly to an exam room.
• If you are scheduled for an in-person/in-clinic appointment, we will ask you to stay in our exam room for the full time period of your appointment, which could last up to 2.5 hours. Since you will be required to wear a mask at all times while in our building, do not bring drinks or snacks indoors with you.
• If you are scheduled for a curbside type of appointment, you are required to remain available by phone during your pet's appointment so that we can communicate by phone with you. We will email treatment plan estimates and care information to you during the appointment as well, so be prepared to use your phone’s speaker function, talking with us while you read emails from us.

Our goals at AEVC remain to operate safely and maintain our ability to take care of patients, 7 days a week. To do this, we must protect the health of our small group of very hard-working staff. Thanks for your understanding and compliance with our policies.
