When you bring “pocket pets” into the vet, it’s always a good idea to bring along a friend to help keep them company. Pocket pets such as g uinea pigs and rabbits are typically herd animals, and benefit from being surrounded by friends and family, especially if they are in a new environment like a veterinary practice.

This can help keep them calm and aid recovery.
