Thanks for reaching out! When considering a low-maintenance furry friend that's also cuddly, guinea pigs and rabbits are fantastic options. They generally require less care than cats or dogs, yet still offer a lot of companionship and affection.
Guinea pigs are sociable and enjoy interacting with their human companions. They do require a spacious cage and regular cleaning, but their diet is relatively simple—primarily hay, greens, and specific guinea pig pellets. They aren't prone to many diseases, making them a reliable choice for less frequent vet visits.
Rabbits are another popular pick. They're known for their gentle nature and can be litter-trained. Similar to guinea pigs, they need a diet of hay, greens, and pellets. While rabbits might need a bit more space to hop around, they can provide lots of cuddles and affection in return.
For both of these pets, be sure to provide them with safe, clean environments and regular interaction. Watch for signs like lethargy, loss of appetite, or unusual behavior, which could indicate health problems. If any of these arise, it's wise to consult a vet immediately.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
