Schedule with Dr. Cheung, our rabbit and pocket pet vet.
You would never schedule a yearly checkup with a doctor who had never treated a human before. Rabbits and small mammals should be seen by a veterinarian who is experienced in their care. When booking an appointment, please specifically request Dr. Cheung to ensure your pet receives the specialized attention they need. If you are new to rabbit or pocket pet care, a consultation with Dr. Cheung can provide valuable guidance and get you started on the right path.
