The Pocket Pets We Treat

Our veterinary team is trained to care for a wide variety of pocket pets, including but not limited to: 

  • Rabbits

  • Hedgehogs 

Each of these animals has unique needs, and we’re equipped to deliver expert care tailored to their specific requirements. 

Key Considerations for Pocket Pet Care

Diet and Nutrition

A proper diet is essential to keep your pocket pet healthy and active. Each type of pet has its own dietary needs. For example, rabbits thrive on a mix of fresh hay, vegetables and high-quality pellets, while insectivore-omnivores like hedgehogs require a diet that includes live insects and fruits. Feeding your pet the right food boosts their energy levels and prevents health complications. If you’re unsure about the best diet for your pet, we deliver nutritional counseling to help you better understand their needs. 

Habitat Setup

A safe and enriching habitat is crucial for your pocket pet’s well-being. Animals like chinchillas benefit from large enclosures with space for exercise and sand baths, while sugar gliders need tall cages with vertical climbing opportunities. Hamsters may prefer solitary setups, while social animals like guinea pigs often thrive with companions. Our team can advise you on the best ways to mimic your pet’s natural environment to ensure their happiness and health. 

Health Check-Ups

Pocket pets often hide signs of illness, making regular veterinary check-ups vital. For instance, ferrets can be prone to adrenal disease, and rats may develop respiratory issues or tumors. Early detection is key to successful treatment, and we’re committed to helping you monitor your pet’s health. Routine visits also give you the chance to ask questions and learn more about maintaining your pet’s well-being. 

Common Health Issues

Pocket pets can face unique health challenges. Rabbits are prone to dental problems if their teeth aren’t worn down properly, while bearded dragons may suffer from metabolic bone disease without adequate vitamin D. Whatever the concern, our veterinary team is skilled in diagnosing and treating pocket pet-specific health issues.
