What do you call a group of Guinea Pigs?
A - A herd
B - A wheek squad
C - A muddle
D - The best day ever
E - Sarah's allergy nightmare
F - All of the above

And the answer is..... F - All of the above!

Today we saw 14 Guinea Pigs and we loved working with all of them! Guinea Pigs and other small mammals all need regular vet care and we are more than happy to see them.

🎃 👻 Our fashionable little patient, Bitsy, has been busy getting his cage Halloween-ready, but he also wants to share some pet safety tips to help everyone have a safe and spooky holiday!

1. Keep candy out of reach. Some treats are toxic to pets, especially chocolate, xylitol and raisins. And don't forget to discard the wrappers, too!

2. Keep your pets safely secured and away from the front door if you are passing out candy. Even the calmest pets can easily slip out and run off in all of the excitement of Halloween. Make sure they have proper identification as well.

3. Avoid potentially dangerous decorations, candles and costumes pieces.
