various small mammals

You’ve heard of a pocket watch, but what about a pocket pet? That’s right, a pocket pet is a small, furry little pet that can fit straight in your pocket! The pets that fall into this category are animals like rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, gerbils, and their slighter larger counterparts such as chinchillas, or guinea pigs. While these pets may not require daily walks or get excited about belly rubs, they’re still fun and unique animals. 

Before you decide to go out and purchase a pocket pet, it’s important that you know what type of living arrangement it needs, what it eats, if it needs exercise, and what type of veterinary care may be necessary. Each of the tiny pets listed above should be cared for just as traditional pets. To learn more about each of these pocket pets, read the articles below.

  • "Many thanks to Dr. Paxton for being wonderful with my little blocked goat. She was kind and patient while figuring out what he needed most. The assistants and office staff were great too."

  • "As always - thank you Cottonwood Vet and Dr. Terra for your phenomenal care of both my horse and niece! It was miserable hot yesterday and you guys were so great with her and Tater. As long as I’m having horses stapled together and nieces passing out, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. ��"
