VET FOR YOUR POCKET PETS

Vet For Your Pocket Pets

AT OUR HOSPITAL,

We believe that small companions deserve the same high standard of medical care as their larger counterparts. Our expertise extends beyond dogs and cats to include specialised care for "pocket pets," such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets.

Because these species are often "prey" animals, they are experts at hiding signs of illness. We recommend a nose-to-tail consultation every six months to ensure we catch any potential health issues early.

PREVENTATIVE CARE & VACCINATIONS

Just like dogs and cats, pocket pets require specific preventative measures to stay healthy in the local environment.

Rabbit Vaccinations

Specialised Diagnostics

SPECIALISED DIAGNOSTICS

When a small pet becomes unwell, time is of the essence. Our Veterinary Diagnostics hub allows us to perform rapid testing to get your pet on the road to recovery.

  • Advanced Imaging: We use digital X-ray and ultrasound to diagnose internal issues in small mammals with high precision.

  • Dental Care: Rabbits and guinea pigs often suffer from dental overgrowth. We use specialised instruments to assess and treat dental disease beneath the gum line.

DIETARY & LIFESTYLE ADVICE

A significant number of health issues in pocket pets are related to diet and husbandry. During your consultation, we provide expert guidance on nutrition, such as the importance of high-quality hay for dental and digestive health, to ensure your pet thrives at home.
