Testimonials

“I was having problems with cage mates fighting me and pulling out my whiskers. I called The Mouse Doctor, and he gave me a shepherd shack. Now I'm living safe and sound thanks to The Mouse Doctor!”

— Squeak

“My hind limbs were starting to lock up due to heterotopic ossification. I gave The Mouse Doctor a call and he helped maintain my mobility. I've never enjoyed climbing in my cage more than I do now!”

— Panda (and friends)
