Are guinea pigs easy to take care of? - Brooks-Falls Veterinary Hospital

They're relatively easy to take care of. I would say that they're easier than a dog or a cat, but they're still a little bit of work.

What should I do if I miss a dose of my dog's heartworm prevention? - Northern Oaks Bird And Animal Hospital

Give it as soon as you remember. Then remember, six months from that time, they need to be tested because it takes six months from the time of a bite to show active infection.
