Guinea pig vets in the Houston area

Not every vet treats guinea pigs. You want an exotic or small-mammal vet. Here are established Houston-area clinics that see exotics. Find one before you need one, and keep the number on the fridge.

Please verify before you go. Hours, prices and which species a clinic currently sees all change. Call ahead to confirm they can see a guinea pig, especially for an emergency.

When to rush to the vet

A guinea pig that has stopped eating or pooping, is breathing hard, or is sitting hunched and still is an emergency, their condition can turn within hours. Our symptom checker helps you judge urgency.

Outside these clinics, the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians and exotic-vet finder directories can help you search by zip code.
