Mice, hamsters, Guinea pigs, gerbils, jerboas, chinchillas, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rats, and a myriad of other small furries make great pets. Just as these pets often differ greatly in size, personality, and place of origin, they also differ greatly in diet, habitat, grooming needs and potential health problems.

To accomplish this goal, we recommend the following:

Routine Exams
As part of your pets routine examination, we'll consult with you about specific needs your pet may have. Examples include; vitamin C supplementation for Guinea pigs, molar trimming in chinchillas, and bedding related problems in hamsters. In addition, each species can fall prey to their own complement of parasitic infestations that require detection, treatment, and prevention.

These pets are all masters of disguise and will often hide even severe problems. We'll make sure your pet is in good condition and show you how you can best detect early signs of problems.

Should health problems arise, help is available. We have the expertise and experience to offer advanced care in the form of medical and surgical treatments. Just because they're small doesn't mean they're not important. Any pet is a special pet. We'll try to keep yours healthy and happy for a long time to come.
