Nutritionist Alice
Chicken and Small Animal Feed Specialist
As a little girl, Alice dreamt of having a farm with chickens, horses, goats, sheep and every animal you could imagine. When the chance arose to move out of the city and into the Oregon countryside, she expanded on her childhood dream and in 2001 started a small business that formulated and milled specialized feeds using local, sustainable ingredients. Since then, she has developed dozens of nutritious feed formulas for many animals, including guinea pigs, bunnies and chickens. Small Pet Select looks to her family-owned business for ethically sourced, clean and green feeds.
