Pocket Pet Care
Pocket pets, including guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, rabbits, and ferrets, make wonderful companions and are generally easy to care for. Unlike dogs and cats, these animals do not require routine vaccinations (except ferrets) or frequent preventative care visits. However, when health problems do arise, our team is here to help. We see pocket pets at all of our locations and can address concerns related to diet, housing, common health issues, and medical emergencies.
What to Expect
Most pocket pet visits are for concerns that have already developed rather than routine wellness exams. Common reasons for a visit include changes in appetite or water intake, weight loss, hair loss, respiratory symptoms, dental problems, or behavioral changes. Because many pocket pets age rapidly and have shorter lifespans than dogs and cats, early intervention is important when you notice something is wrong.
If you have questions about diet, housing, or general care for your pocket pet, we can also provide guidance during your visit or over the phone.
