Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food:

My first experience with Oxbow Animal Health products was during my time managing a veterinary practice that specialized in exotics and pocket pets.  Oxbow was our go-to brand for food, treats, and hay for rabbits and pocket pets.  

When my husband and I decided to surprise our kids with guinea pigs one Christmas, there was no question which brand of food I would purchase.  I’ve been feeding our guinea pigs Oxbow Essentials – Adult Guinea Pig Food and Western Timothy Hay since day one and they love it.  

Oxbow also offers a wide selection of enrichment toys.   Some of their favorites are Timothy Pops, Hay Bundles, Apple Sticks, and their Timothy Hide and Seek Mat.  

*What is the purpose of enrichment?  

The goal of enrichment is to encourage your guinea pig to interact with items in their environment which allow them to demonstrate their species-specific behaviors, giving them an opportunity for exercise, and enhancing their well-being.

Why I love this brand:

They have a high level of quality assurance to make sure only the best products enter the market.  In addition to being passionate about nutritional formulas for healthy digestion and to help small mammals thrive, they provide grant funding and emergency support to assist animal rescues, humane societies, wildlife rehabilitation centers, and many other organizations in need.  

Their wide range of products is readily available at most pet stores and online at Chewy and other popular pet retail sites.  

What would I change about this product:

Honestly, I can’t think of anything I would change.  I appreciate having a reputable brand readily available that I can feel confident feeding to my pets!
