Exotics and Birds
In 2000, Dr. Dutton founded the Exotic and Bird Clinic of New Hampshire, a veterinary practice dedicated to meeting the veterinary needs of exotic pets such as ferrets, birds, and reptiles. The Exotic and Bird Clinic of New Hampshire is located right here within the walls of Weare Animal Hospital. 35% of Dr. Dutton's caseload is exotic pets ranging from birds to reptiles to rabbits, ferrets, and the like.
Dr. Dutton has been at the forefront of exotic pet practice for over 20 years, beginning with his work treating wildlife at Benson’s Animal Park in Hudson, NH. He founded the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians (AEMV) to help further veterinary knowledge of these pets. Dr. Dutton currently is serving as Regent for the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners - Exotic Companion Mammal Specialty. Dr. Dutton has seen the expansion of our knowledge and treatment of exotic pets first hand.
Dr. Dutton also serves as the volunteer veterinarian for Wings of Dawn Wildlife Rehabilitation (Henniker, NH), Silk Farm Audubon, Massabesic Audubon, and a few other smaller wildlife rehabilitators.
