POCKET PETS

Small household mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, guinea pigs and ferrets are often called “pocket pets”. Maintaining your pet’s health regardless of size or species is very important. Routine exams are essential to assess the over health of your pocket pet. Checking the eyes, ears, skin, oral and dental health are incremental in preventing problems before they arise. Interacting with your pet on a daily basis and observing their behavior will let you know how they are feeling.
