Pocket Pet Services

We provide care for hamsters, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and other small but mighty pocket pets.

Pocket pets, like hamsters, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and rats, have grown in popularity over the past few years. Just like any of the other furry (or non-furry) friends we treat, they need regular veterinary exams so we can stay up-to-date with their care needs. Veterinary visits shouldn’t only be reserved for when your pet is sick. 

When should I schedule a visit?

Depending on your pet’s overall health, we could need to see them more regularly than once a year, especially if they have underlying health issues. To book their yearly exam, please contact us at 604-464-6666. Signs that you should bring your pet in earlier include:

  • Hair loss 
  • Difficulty breathing 
  • Runny nose or eyes 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Diarrhea 
  • Bald patches
