PIGS AND DOGS - A BAD COMBINATION

Potbelly pigs and dogs are not a good combination. Pigs are prey to dogs, which are predators. If you get a pet pig and have a dog, NEVER leave them alone together.

We have heard way to many stories about pigs being attacked by the family dog and being severely injured, or killed. Many times these are animals that have lived together for years. Normally it will be the pig that starts the problem by going after the dogs food, toys, etc.

Yes, there are exceptions to everything but do not take the chance.

Pot belly pig care, and pet pig care in general, requires different treatments and approaches than other exotic animals or more common pets, like cats and dogs.

We suggest you go through our FAQ's links to the right. There is a great deal of information here and many of your questions will be answered there.

SPONSOR A PET PIG

If, after you have read through these pages, you decide a pig is not for you, you can still sponsor a pig at many sanctuaries around the country. If this is something that may interest you, we suggest sponsoring a pig at Pig Pals Sanctuary. This is one of the best and most dedicated sanctuaries around.
