Originally starting in 2006 Guinea Pigs Australia was first created as
Australia’s largest and only database on guinea pig care and
information. Offering the latest guidance from veterinary journals,
overseas testimonials and experience. In 2012 we opened the
Guinea Pigs Australia Sydney Rescue which caters for homeless
guinea pigs and rabbits in Sydney. Through our work with rescues
we continue to rehome animals through private adoption.
Our work continued in 2013 with a separate branch of the company
progressing and seeing the introduction of our wholesale and retail
sales platform. This enabled Australian consumers to have access to
many of the high quality feeding and housing products that many
guinea pigs owners enjoyed overseas.
In 2014 we created our Pet Therapy Program with Uniting Care
Australia. Many of the elderly in nursing homes are not able to enjoy
pets as we do. It was important that guinea pigs be available to
provide comfort for the elderly and that the homeless guinea pigs
did indeed have a home in a community environment. Over 12
months this program has been planned and organised having great
success in Sydney.
Guinea Pigs Australia is not only a database and information
resource tool but an evolving company focused on providing guinea
pig and rabbit owners with resources, information, products and
rescue support throughout Australia.
