Resources
- Puppy/Dog Care Manual - The way your puppy perceives his or her first visit to the veterinary hospital will greatly influence the way the puppy will respond here for the rest of its life. Puppies are sensitive to emotional cues from their owners. How you react to new situations tells the puppy how to react as well.
- Owner’s Manual for your Bird Care Manual - Visiting the veterinarian can be a stressful event for a bird but it is necessary to ensure good health. We recognize how traumatic the experience can be and so we do everything possible to minimize stress to our bird patients.
- Kitten/Cat Care Manual - We would like to congratulate you on the acquisition of your new kitten. Owning a cat can be an extremely rewarding experience, but it is also a large responsibility. We hope this discussion will give you the information needed to make some good decisions regarding your kitten.
- Chinchillas Care Manual - Chinchillas LOVE to chew on anything and everything. Homes must be “chinchilla-proofed” to prevent ingestion of anything that isn’t meant for them to chew on! Read our quick care guide to learn more about enclosure set ups, toys/enrichment, diet and much more!
- Guinea Pigs Care Manual - Common guinea pig enclosures sold at pet stores do not offer enough space for them to get the exercise they need. Guinea pigs need plenty of space to roam and exercise even if they are offered daily playtime outside of their cage. Keep in mind that guinea pigs are very social animals. They usually do much better with another guinea pig friend! Read our quick care guide to learn more about enclosure set ups, toys/enrichment, diet and much more!

- Rats Care Manual - There are several different kinds of cages available that are suitable for pet rats. These cages should be made of wire bars and/or thick plastic. The bar gaps should be small enough where they cannot escape between them (usually about ¼ inch). Some cages available are made of thin plastic or glass. Thin plastic is not suitable because rats will be able to chew through it and escape. Glass is not suitable because of the lack of ventilation and the sensitivity of a rat’s respiratory system.
