Review: Extremely well respected brand of supplementary food for small animals - We have used this as a dietary supplement for all of our Guinea Pigs and hamsters when they have been poorly or when they have needed a dietary supplement during their older age. We mix it with water for the Guinea Pigs and natural yoghurt for the hamsters. We haven't met an animal that doesn't like this. First recommended to us by our vet, we now always keep a supply at home for when needed. Quality product from a quality brand.
Review: Fast delivery, everything exactly as shown - Product came next day. 1/4th of the price as it is in my vets office. Great
