Special Accommodations Include:

• Guinea pigs and rabbits are always groomed with an assistant on hand to promote safety and comfort
• Soft, non-slip surfaces
• Hay is made available to nibble on throughout the session to help alleviate stress
• Enrichment foraging and/or treats may be used to encourage a positive association with grooming
• Guinea pig-safe tools and products: Most popular pet grooming and cleaning products are geared towards dogs and many are not safe to use with guinea pigs. Being self-groomers, it is especially important that any products used on/near them is 100% safe. But not to worry- we’ve done the research and use only the safest, highest quality products and tools on and around our piggie friends.
• Breaks given to decompress if needed
• As with any animal in our care, emphasis is always placed on cooperative care handling and a fear-free experience. Stress levels are closely monitored throughout the appointment. If a guinea pig becomes stressed at any point, the session stops and the guinea pig is sent home. Stress in guinea pigs is no joke, and can lead to much bigger problems. Dividing grooming services into several shorter sessions may be recommended to keep your guinea pig healthy and happy.
• Bonded pairs are welcome! Separating bonded pairs can be stressful for both rabbits and guinea pigs so it’s always a good idea to keep them together whenever possible.
