Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

We have been bringing our babies here for the better part of three years. I feel strongly that the delay in leaving a review is because it's hard to put into words exactly what this place and it's people mean to our family. I will likely continue to update this as the staff at Nautilus continue to change our (and our babies) lives for the better with their vigilant care and constant education they provide. All we can say is that you will not find a better, well equipped facility nor more knowledgeable and experienced doctors and staff. They are extended family now and we hope they know that. We cherish the experience of raising our babies alongside them, through the good and sad!

Dr. Applegate and the staff are awesome. Ive brought 2 of my chickens to nautilus and they've been wonderful both times! They helped my Stella get over an infection and she's back to 💯!!

Our happy social bearded dragon wasn’t acting like his normal self so we decided to bring him in to see Dr. Mosley. Such a wonderful doc - friendly, knowledgeable and patient. She answers all of your questions thoroughly and you feel like she truly cares. After a stool test our little guy was diagnosed with parasites. After a round of medication he began acting like his normal self. She recommended we test his stool again once the medication ran its course and he was in the clear. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They are easy to work with when scheduling an appointment. Overall, you know your baby is in good hands and that the best feeling!

I loved this place. I wanted to love this place forever. My snake needed stitches. They told me he would shed and the stitches would come out on their own. If he didn’t shed bring him back in 2 weeks and they would remove the stitches. So he doesn’t shed, and also now won’t eat bc the stitches are right in his neck and I think it’s hard for him to eat and expand his jaw. I bring him back and they say well now they’re too deep and we don’t want to dig around in there. Give it another 2 weeks and if he still doesn’t she’s or eat come back. My next appointment is this Wednesday. Not sure how they can get these stitches out and they had mentioned having to tube feed my snake. Just wondering why dissolvable stitches weren’t used? Feeling very frustrated for my guy he’s not even a year old :(

The vets & staff here at Nautilus have been absolutely so lovely! My fiancé and I have a small colony of rats, and most of them have been seen & cared for by Nautilus! They are THE most knowledgeable exotics vet in the whole state. We drive an hour just to have our pets seen by them. I highly recommend!
