Our mission with the Value Choice hay product is to offer small animals everywhere the best possible hay at a fraction of the price. Fresh hay is critical for your small pets health and should make up about 80% of their diet. Among so many other health benefits, hay is an excellent source of fiber which is crucial in maintaining a healthy gut and good general digestive functions. Great hay is also vital for your small pets dental health because it prevents their teeth from becoming overgrown and problematic. For these reasons and so many more it’s absolutely essential that your friend has fresh hay on hand at all times. Every harvest we search up and down the West Coast of the United States inspecting hundreds of fields and talking to dozens of farmers. We know the differences between good and bad hay because year after year we go to each farm to hand select it ourselves. When we finally find the hay we’re looking for, we make sure that as a small family owned company we provide you with the care and personal service you and your small pet deserve. Furthermore, we supply our hay in large recyclable boxes, as opposed to the small plastic bags you’ll find elsewhere. We do this because we believe that providing sustainable, compostable, and eco-friendly packaging is critical. Our hay is not only hand selected but also hand packed, no heavy machinery and no mass production! This is to ensure that your hay is not compressed or pulverized in anyway; maintaining the integrity of the hay is extremely important to us. Small Pet Select was created by small animal people for small animal people. You can rest assured when purchasing that we want the very best for your small pet and have gone the extra mile to ensure we achieve that.
