Pocket Pets
These small companion animals have unique nutritional, housing, and health needs that differ from those of dogs and cats. Our veterinary team works with pet owners to support the health and well-being of rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs through preventive care, routine examinations, and treatment when health concerns arise.
Whether you are a first-time pocket pet owner or have cared for these animals for years, regular veterinary visits can help identify potential problems early. A wellness examination gives our team an opportunity to assess your pet’s overall condition and discuss nutrition, habitat, handling, and other aspects of daily care.

Caring for Rabbits, Ferrets, and Guinea Pigs
Each type of pocket pet has different care requirements. Rabbits need appropriate fiber-rich nutrition and dental monitoring, while guinea pigs require proper nutrition and a dependable source of vitamin C. Ferrets have their own dietary and preventive healthcare needs. Understanding these differences is an important part of responsible pet ownership.
During your pet’s visit, our veterinary team can discuss practical ways to support good health at home. We can also help you recognize changes that may warrant veterinary attention.
