Guinea pig, hamster and small mammal vets in California
Practices in California that say they treat guinea pigs, hamsters and other small mammals include Amici Pet Hospital of Little Italy in San Diego, B Street Veterinary Hospital in San Diego, Clairemont Village Pet Clinic in San Diego, Companion Care Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care in San Diego and Lifetime Animal Care Center in San Diego, and 115 more listed below by city.
120 practices across 90 cities, out of the 3,288 we list in California. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.
Guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, chinchillas and hedgehogs get grouped together as pocket pets, which hides how different they are. Guinea pigs need dietary vitamin C and get respiratory infections; rats get mammary tumours. Ask about your specific animal rather than the category.

Every California city we list is on the California page, and the national list is at small mammals vets nationwide. If nothing here fits, a licensed veterinarian will answer a written question free, which is often the fastest way to find out whether the drive is worth making.
A practice appears here only because its own website says it treats small mammals. We have not tested anyone's skill and this is not a recommendation. Listings without the PawsRx Verified badge are compiled from public records, have not been verified by PawsRx, and are not affiliated with PawsRx. PawsRx is a technology platform and does not provide veterinary care.
