Oxbow – Premium Nutrition & Care for Small Pets

For over 30 years, Oxbow Animal Health has been a pioneer in small animal nutrition, dedicated to improving the lives of rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and other herbivorous and omnivorous pets. Founded in 1980 in Nebraska, USA, Oxbow began as a family-owned farm growing premium hay. Today, it is an internationally recognised brand trusted by veterinarians, breeders, and pet owners for its commitment to quality, science-based nutrition, and species-specific care.

A Foundation in Quality Hay

At the heart of Oxbow’s reputation is its exceptional hay — including Timothy Hay, Orchard Grass, and Alfalfa — grown in ideal climates to ensure optimal freshness, texture, and nutrient content. These hays form the foundation of healthy diets for herbivorous small pets, supporting proper digestion, dental health, and overall well-being. Harvested at peak maturity and carefully packaged to lock in freshness, Oxbow hay is considered the gold standard in small animal feeding.

Complete Nutrition for Every Life Stage

Beyond hay, Oxbow offers a wide range of pelleted diets formulated in partnership with leading exotic animal veterinarians. These formulas are tailored to each species and life stage, with precise blends of fibre, vitamins, and minerals to meet daily nutritional needs. Their Essentials and Garden Select ranges provide balanced nutrition, free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.

Healthy Treats & Supplements

Oxbow also produces wholesome treats made from natural ingredients such as herbs, vegetables, and flowers — perfect for enrichment and bonding. Their supplement range supports specific health needs, from joint mobility to digestive function, giving pet owners targeted tools to keep small pets thriving.

Enrichment & Habitat Care

Understanding that small pets require mental and physical stimulation, Oxbow designs safe, natural enrichment products such as chew toys, hideouts, and activity centres made from untreated wood, woven hay, and pet-safe materials. They also offer habitat essentials, including bedding and litter products designed for comfort and odour control.
