Low-Cost Guinea Pig Services
Affordable, compassionate care for guinea pigs and the people who love them.
Running Out of Hay is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit guinea pig rescue and sanctuary. Our low-cost services help families keep their guinea pigs healthy, support successful companionship, and make essential care more accessible. Every service also helps fund the rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong sanctuary care of guinea pigs in need.
Our Service Area
Our in-home services are available exclusively in:
San Mateo County • San Francisco • Santa Clara County
Plus these Alameda County communities: San Leandro, Hayward, Castro Valley, Union City, Newark, and Fremont.
Virtual bonding consultations are available regardless of location.
Nail Trims & Grooming
Keep your guinea pigs comfortable and feeling their best with gentle, affordable care provided in your own home. Services include nail trims, basic grooming, and a complimentary visual wellness observation. While handling your guinea pig, we look for noticeable signs of potential health concerns, such as eye or nasal discharge, skin irritation, hair loss, or other visible changes. These observations are not a veterinary examination or diagnostic service. If we notice anything concerning, we'll recommend consulting your veterinarian.
