Our story
This service was founded to extend specialist veterinary care for exotic animals to Granada, drawing on the investment in the Aracavia clinic in Málaga, collaboration with veterinary clinics in Granada, and support through home visits and visits to zoological establishments.
Daniel currently provides veterinary care, supported by the Málaga reception team for enquiries and appointments.
