Hello! I was just wondering how many of you take your guinea pigs to the vet every year. Is is necessary? My guinea pigs are about 3 years old, and I was wondering if I should bring them to a vet for an annual checkup.

If I should, then does anyone know any good exotic vets in northern Virginia?


Thank You So Much!

Yes they absolutely need vet visits just like cats and dogs. An annual exam is a good place to start. Establish a vet now so when illness strikes you know where to go.

I haven't had my boys for a year yet, but they have all been to the vet numerous times already.

The way I find exotics vets is to just go to google maps and start searching 'guinea pig vets'. Call a place if you aren't sure.

Thank you so much! I had no idea that people brought their guinea pigs to the vet. I’m going to schedule them an appointment soon!
