How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services
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.
Compare prescription pricing

The staff at Stahl are very caring and professional. We are so appreciative that there is an exotic vet who can care for our rabbits. We are able to schedule appointments within a reasonable timeframe and they have been helpful with troubleshooting emergencies over the phone to avoid an unnecessary and potentially costly visit.

My rabbits Baby and Sweet P have been going here for their annual check ups and nail trims. They also got neutered/spayed here which was a stressful thing for me but the staff always provided me with updates and were so kind through it all. Baby had to be checked into their emergency care a few days after his spay and the staff took the best care of him and were very informative through it all. I love my pets and Stahl Exotics has provided the best care!

Caring staff and doctors. They are a good sized practice that handles exotic pets. We take our rabbits there for neuter/spaying and regular checkup and services.

Dr. Carothers was great, and treated my elderly Guinea pig so well. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure I knew all the treatment options. The staff was very nice too! I have had bad experiences with taking guineas to other vets in the past, and this place was so much better and their doctors clearly know small mammals very well. Would highly recommend for Guinea pigs!

Our experience with Stahl's was not planned by any means. We live just over an hour away from Fairfax and our rabbit was normally seen at a vet closer to home. However, an out of nowhere emergency after 6pm this week found me in tears trying to find anyone who could see our girl Thump Thumps as soon as possible (we were calling places up to 2 hours away). A call to our own vet led to a referral to another emergency vet in VA who treated exotics but were too busy to see us, and 6 more referrals later, the receptionist (who I apologize for forgetting her name in my panic) at Stahl who answered the phone was the start to an amazing experience in what turned out to be a devastating night. The receptionist took all my info and came back to the phone to tell us to leave immediately and get her there. We walked in and they took her to the back immediately to assess her. We weren't waiting long at all before Dr. Katzenstein communicated so thoroughly beginning to end, everything they wanted to do, options we had for treatment, and answering many a questions I had that probably were a little all over the place given my state of mind. In the end, we were faced with very hard decisions and were supported by the Dr and Staff with such understanding and support the entire time. We ended up losing our baby that night and despite us being there well after they closed, we never felt rushed and we were given as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. I am beyond devastated by the outcome, but we talked on our way home that it was probably meant to be everyone else turned us away because we don't think we would have had the same support, even from the vet who normally saw her. We have no other exotics in our home, otherwise we would be moving them all to Stahl immediately.
