Quick Tips
By namesake alone, these creatures are very special and require unique care and insight.
It is very important for our pocket pets to receive the proper nutrition. Our doctors recommend a diet consisting of 80% grass hay, 10% vegetables, 5% healthy pellets, and 5% healthy treats.
Just like us, every pet is individual and deserve care that is just as individual as they are. For the best advice and information to ensuring your pet is living its best life, come in and speak to one of our highly experienced veterinarians so you can have the most time as you can with your pocket pet.
Always make sure your pet maintains a healthy appetite and elimination. If your pocket pet loses interest in food or stops eating, please call our office right away at (714) 979-7387. Your pet may be in the beginning stages of gastrointestinal stasis, which is a life-threatening condition.
