At Country Kennels, we extend our professional care to pocket pets, including hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small companions. Our dedicated staff understands the unique needs of these delicate creatures. We require that you provide the cage, food, shavings and any additional material required specifically for your pet. We carefully monitor food intake, water consumption, and overall well-being while respecting their natural routines. Your small pet will receive the same attentive care as our larger guests, ensuring they remain comfortable and content in our specialized accommodations.
