Hay is just hay, unless it’s grown the Oxbow way. Ensuring that your pet’s hay consistently delivers the essential nutrition they need while still meeting their specific taste and texture preferences takes a team of experts. Our team’s work doesn’t end with working hand-in-hand with our family of farmers to select only the best hay for your small pets.
