Small Mammals Veterinary Service

At 91圧利 Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital and vet practice, you can be reassured that you are getting exceptional small mammal vet knowledge and expertise. From the very first day you get your new small furry pet - and throughout its lifetime - we can support and advise you and your small pet every step of the way.

Due to their size, sometimes small mammal pets can be seen as an ‘easier’ option - especially as they may be the first pet a child ever owns. In reality, they may need as much looking after as other domestic pets, such as cats and dogs. We encourage clients to look into what is involved in caring for their 'small furry' animal before committing to owning one so all family members know what to expect to keep their pet happy and healthy.

Our small animal vet service supports a wide variety of species, including:

Ferrets
African pygmy hedgehogs
Sugar gliders
Meerkats

We recognise that all of them have different needs which is why we have
