Why does my small pet need regular health exams?

Small pets like hamsters or guinea pigs often hide signs of illness due to survival instincts. An annual exam helps us detect issues early and take quick action to support their health and comfort.

When should I bring my pet in for a veterinary exam?

A first check-up is strongly recommended shortly after adoption to assess overall health and identify any potential issues. After that, regular visits help us monitor any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition.

My pet stays indoors. Why should they be vaccinated? 

Even indoors, animals such as chickens or small rodents, can be exposed to contagious diseases. Vaccination is an important preventive measure. Our team can help determine which vaccines are appropriate for your companion.
