The guinea pig boar above, Willis, bought his friend Julio along for company.
When you bring “pocket pets” into the vet, it’s always a good idea to bring along a friend to help keep them company. Pocket pets such as guinea pigs and rabbits are typically herd animals, and benefit from being surrounded by friends and family, especially if they are in a new environment like a veterinary practice.
This can help keep them calm and aid recovery.
