Guinea pigs can be delightful and lovable pets. The decision to bring one into your home must be made carefully, as the average lifespan of a guinea pig is six to eight years, but they may live as long as 10 years. Your guinea pig will depend on you for food, water, an enriched environment, veterinary care and companionship.

Pets come in all shapes, colours, breeds, species, and sizes. It’s hard to resist a cute dog or cat who loves cuddles, and we hardly seem to mind if they are extra cuddly because they are a bit overweight.

If you have a dog it’s important that you understand the vaccines available to them and how these protect your pet’s health.

If you’ve adopted a cat or kitten, it’s important that you understand the different types of vaccinations available to them, and how these protect your pet’s health and wellbeing.

Provide a variety of different types of vegetables and fruits daily.

They require a lot of time, money, love, and understanding – they are not low maintenance pets. It is your responsibility to keep your fish safe, happy, and healthy.
