Your Trusted Guinea Pig Vet in Hershey

Our veterinary care team has the knowledge and experience needed to treat guinea pigs with the same level of care and attention we give to dogs and cats. From nutrition guidance and wellness exams to illness diagnosis and treatment, we tailor every visit to your pet’s specific needs.

Guinea pigs can hide signs of illness, so regular checkups are essential to monitor for weight loss, respiratory issues, dental problems, and skin concerns.

Our Guinea Pig Services Include:

Routine Wellness Exams: Regular checkups help us track your guinea pig’s weight, dental condition, and overall health.
Diet and Habitat Support: We offer guidance on proper nutrition, vitamin C supplementation, and habitat setup to prevent common health issues.
Diagnostics: Our imaging tool allows us to quickly evaluate concerns like lethargy, lumps, or breathing problems.
Treatment for Health Concerns: Including respiratory infections, dental overgrowth, bumblefoot, skin mites, and gastrointestinal issues.
Surgical Care: When necessary, we provide treatment for abscesses or tumors.

We’ll work with you to provide individualized care and help you feel confident in caring for your guinea pig at home. We can also provide referrals for advanced care, if needed.
