Guinea pig, hamster and small mammal vets in Missouri
Practices in Missouri that say they treat guinea pigs, hamsters and other small mammals include Hortons Animal Hospital Northeast in Columbia, R Veterinary at Columbia in Columbia, Helping Hands Veterinary Clinic in Advance, Bowling Green Veterinary Clinic in Bowling Green and Rock Road Animal Hospital in Breckenridge Hills, and 11 more listed below by city.
16 practices across 15 cities, out of the 510 we list in Missouri. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.
When you call, ask two things: which veterinarian there sees guinea pigs, hamsters and other small mammals, and roughly how often. A practice that sees them every week is a different visit from one that sees one a year.
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 Missouri city we list is on the Missouri 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.
