Do I Need To Give My Guinea Pigs Vaccinations?

Unlike dogs, cats and rabbits, guinea pigs are not usually given vaccinations against common diseases. This is a measure of how relatively robust they are.

A picture of health - guinea pigs don't really need vaccinations

Instead of vaccinating your pets, you can simply give them a weekly health check. Make sure they have plenty of vitamin C in their diet from fresh foods and fortified dried food. This way you will help them stay fit and healthy without having to be vaccinated.

I think that guinea pigs shouldn’t be vaccinated if they are given the right healthcare

That's not fair guinea pigs deserve to be vaccinated against these common diseases they are apart of people's families and I don't know about other people but as soon as I get my pet guinea pig I'm having it neutered and vaccinated they deserve a good life like dogs and cats and I don't need to be worried all the time people who don't vaccinate they're animals are fools and stupid and I don't agree that guinea pigs don't need it maybe they don't but that be a plus from Stephanie franche
