Harrison Bird Foods

For our bird owners - we carry Harrison Bird Foods, one of the best pelleted diets for pet birds. One of the most common causes of illness in pet birds is nutritional deficiencies. Many birds “pick out” the type of seed they like causing the diet to become out of balance. Pelleted diets have all the nutrients needed in the food, so your bird gets a correct balance of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients with every bite.

Scheduling An Appointment for Your Exotic Pet or Bird

We recommend you bring your exotic pet in every 6-12 months for preventative care and examination at Wilkinson Animal Hospital in Gastonia. We look forward to meeting your exotic pet!

Sorry, we do not examine venomous snakes, primates, fish or zoo animals. We also do not practice large-animal medicine, including horses, cows, or farm animals.
