Gut-Friendly Willow Forage for Small Animals

Choose from:

  • 100% Willow (leaves and twigs, small or large)

  • 70% Willow + 30% Dried Forage Grass (extra fibre boost)

Gently dried to preserve their natural crunch and therapeutic properties, this forage is a brilliant addition to your animal’s rotation.

Willow is naturally gut-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and urinary-supporting – and with its earthy flavour and fibrous texture, it’s loved by chewers and nibblers alike. Adding forage grass offers extra roughage and variety for sensitive tummies.
