Non-traditional companion animals
The BSAVA, along with the BVA and BVZA, prefers the term “non-traditional companion animal” (NTCA) over the term “exotic pet” as it considers that this better describes both the species and relationships involved (although 'exotic pets' is a term that has generally been used in book and lecture titles). The BSAVA considers NTCAs as those animals that are not traditionally domesticated or kept as pets in the UK and whose welfare needs can be more difficult to meet in a domestic environment. This collection is intended to signpost some core resources on species that may not be commonly seen by veterinarians to highlight what is possible in first opinion practice. This collection excludes wildlife, farm pets and the more common small mammals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice.

This collection brings together chapters, podcasts and leaflets covering the reasons behind the socialisation of puppies and how to do it successfully.
