Pocket Pet Services

Here at Carling Animal Hospital, we offer a full range of preventative, routine and emergency services for pocket pets. Call us at 613-725-3439 to learn more.

Do you treat rats and mice?

Yes. We also provide medical care to guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, degus, ferrets, hedgehogs, chinchillas, etc.

Do you treat birds and reptiles?

Unfortunately, we currently do not treat birds and reptiles. Feel free to call us for our recommendations on veterinarians in the area who specialize in these animals.

Do pocket pets need veterinary checkups?

Absolutely. A common misconception is that pocket pets are “lower maintenance” than dogs, cats and other more conventional companions.

How often should I take my pocket pet to the vet?

We recommend an annual exam, at the minimum, for all miniature-sized pets. This way, we can track their development and ensure they receive the right type of care for their unique needs.
