💚 “Flower is off to the vets later ready for her spay and teeth removal tomorrow. In just 2 weeks her teeth are growing so fast they’re already showing out her mouth.” 😞 - A Rescues Post.
Hearing stories like this is heartbreaking — and sadly, far too common in rescue.
🦷 When animals arrive with severe dental issues, it’s often the result of poor diet in their previous homes. But the truth is:
🌿 Teeth and tummies are deeply connected.
Forage and hay don’t just aid digestion — they play a vital role in naturally wearing down teeth, just as nature intended. Wild herbivores don’t suffer from chronic dental overgrowth because their diets are: ✅ Varied
✅ High in fibre
✅ Full of texture and resistance that promotes natural chewing and tooth wear
That’s exactly why I created Guinea Gourmet Treats — to bring back that natural, species-appropriate variety in a way that’s accessible and fun. Every leaf, flower, and stem has a purpose — whether it’s supporting gut health, calming stress, or gently encouraging the kind of chewing that keeps mouths healthy.
💚 It’s not just a treat — it’s an instinctual, often-overlooked form of care.
If Flower had had access to proper hay and forage from the start, she might not be facing this painful outcome. So let’s spread the word: forage is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
