Exotic pets & specialists
Exotic-pet care in Leuven is solid for common species (rabbits, rodents); for rarer species, Ghent or Brussels remain the go-to.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find an emergency vet open at night or on weekends?
- Switch on the «Emergency» or «Open 24/7» filter on the Petzo map: only clinics identified as running an on-call rota will show. Always call first, even for a 24/7 clinic, to alert the team and confirm availability.
- How much does a vet consultation cost?
- A routine consultation typically costs €30–€60 in Belgium and France, depending on the region and species. Additional care (X-ray, ultrasound, blood tests) is charged separately.
- Do all vets treat exotic pets (rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds)?
- No. Exotic pets (NAC) require specific training. Use the «Exotic pets» filter on the Petzo map and confirm on the clinic's Google profile that the species you need is explicitly listed before booking.
- How do I know if a clinic is open right now?
- The Petzo map shows «Open» or «Closed» status based on Google Maps hours. Enable the «Open now» filter to see only clinics currently accessible. Outside those hours, treat it as an emergency and go to a 24/7 clinic.
