Whilst we are not qualified vets, we have attained a certain amount of experience with regard to the health and behaviour of rabbits and guinea pigs; as a matter of course we monitor your pets health and well being daily:

Rabbits

We can look for common signs of diseases and infections for example, ear canker, overgrown incisors, fleas and fur mites, pasturella, syphilis, sore hocks, fly strike, sticky bottoms and E. Cuniculi symptoms

Guinea Pigs

We can check your guinea pig for an over-productive grease gland, ear wax, teeth alignment, fur mites and fleas.

Snuggle Safe HeatpadsSnugglesafe heat pads are available for old or convalescing rabbits and guinea pigs for added comfort and warmth.

fucidil creamIf at the time of boarding, your pet is under veterinary supervision and receiving medical treatment, we will be more than happy to assist in administering drugs orally, topically or via injections.

We have rabbits which board with us regularly who have special needs including extensive medical and dietary regimes. If you have a special needs rabbit we can help give you the peace of mind by continuing your pet's daily medical routine.

Rabbit Nail clippersAs a matter of course all pet's nails are checked and trimmed if required.   We also ensure the dew claws are trimmed on rabbits, to allow your pet to groom their head, ears and face more easily. 

If nails are allowed to grow long in rabbits, foot problems can occur due to too much weight being placed on the heel resulting in pododermatitis (Sore Hocks). This condition is common in giant breeds due to their heavy weight and rex breeds due to the footpad only having a thin covering of fur.

Should your pet require their nails clipping between boarding we are always on hand to do this free of charge.
