Step 1
Talk to a veterinarian who specializes in the treatment of exotic animals. Even though she may not have any specific experience with wolves, she may be more willing to see the animal than a traditional vet.
-
Step 2
Contact a vet who specializes in the treatment of wolfdogs or other types of wolf hybrids. He will certainly have more experience in treating wolves, and if he does have any reservations about treating a pure wolf, he might be able to refer you to someone who doesn't.
-
Step 3
Locate a wolf or wolfdog rescue organization, such as the National Wolfdog Alliance, and find out if they can refer a vet to you who will treat your pet wolf (see Resources below).
-
Step 4
Expect to be turned down by a variety of veterinarians before you find the right one for you and your pet. Most owners of wolves and wolfdogs report that the best way to locate a vet is to simply compile a list of every vet in the area and call them one by one.
-
Step 5
Make sure you have located a vet that will treat a wolf before you obtain one for a pet. Take a meeting with your potential vet and inform him about the type of wolf you are looking to buy and how you should care for it.
