🌿 100% Pure Yarrow Botanical Topper

1 Cup Scoop • Approx. 20g

100% Yarrow – Achillea millefolium

Digestion • Appetite • Anti-Inflammatory • Antioxidant

A purposeful single-ingredient botanical topper made from 100% dried yarrow, designed to add a little functional variety to your animal's existing hay, forage or fresh foods.

Yarrow is a traditional meadow plant naturally containing flavonoids, phenolic compounds and other beneficial plant constituents. It has a long history of traditional use for digestive comfort and appetite, while modern research has identified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity within the plant.

Because yarrow is aromatic and botanically active, this isn't designed to replace your animal's normal forage or be fed in large handfuls.

Instead, a little goes a long way.

Sprinkle it through hay, add a small amount to another forage, or use it to give an existing blend an extra botanical boost.

One plant. Small servings. Plenty of purpose.

🌿 Ingredient & Natural Benefits

🌿 Yarrow – 100%

🌱 Digestive Support

Yarrow has traditionally been associated with digestive comfort and normal gastrointestinal function, making it a useful addition to a varied botanical rotation.

🍽️ Appetite

Its distinctive aroma and bitter plant compounds can add interest and variety to familiar foods, making yarrow particularly useful within forage aimed at appetite and feeding engagement.

🌿 Anti-Inflammatory Support

Yarrow naturally contains several plant compounds that have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in experimental research.

This makes it an interesting supporting botanical for forage rotations aimed at general comfort and senior wellbeing, without presenting it as a treatment for pain or inflammatory disease.

🛡️ Antioxidant Support

Naturally occurring flavonoids and phenolic compounds contribute antioxidant activity and provide additional botanical diversity alongside a balanced diet.

🌾 Natural Enrichment

Its strong meadow aroma, fine leaves and flowers create a very different sensory experience from everyday hay and leafy forage, encouraging sniffing, searching and selective feeding.

🐾 Suitable For

🐹 Guinea Pigs

Yarrow provides aromatic meadow variety alongside a fibre-led diet and works particularly well sprinkled lightly through hay or another forage rather than fed as a large standalone portion.

🐰 Rabbits

A recognised rabbit-safe wild forage. Yarrow naturally fits the varied leafy plant material rabbits browse and can be offered as a small part of a diverse forage rotation.

🐹 Chinchillas

Best used sparingly as botanical enrichment alongside unlimited hay, providing additional scent and plant variety without fruit or sugary ingredients.

🐹 Degus

Suitable in controlled quantities as part of a varied, low-sugar botanical forage rotation.

🐹 Hamsters

A small pinch adds natural scent, texture and food-searching opportunities when scattered around the enclosure.

🐭 Gerbils

Useful as occasional botanical enrichment, particularly when hidden amongst bedding and forage areas.

🐀 Rats

Can add botanical variety and sensory enrichment alongside an appropriate nutritionally complete staple diet.

🐁 Mice

A tiny scatter provides plenty of aroma and texture for natural investigation and food searching.

🐢 Herbivorous Tortoises

Can be offered as a small dried botanical addition within an appropriately varied weed and plant-based diet.

🥄 Feeding Guide

Guinea Pigs: 1–2 teaspoons per animal, 2–3 times per week, sprinkled through hay or mixed forage.

🌿 How To Use Your Yarrow

🌿 Sprinkle lightly through hay.

🌿 Add a small amount to an existing forage blend.

🌿 Mix into forage trays.

🌿 Scatter around the enclosure to encourage natural searching.

🌿 Combine with gentler botanicals such as chamomile or leafy forage to build your own personalised mix.

Because this is a 100% single-ingredient topper, you stay in control of exactly how much yarrow your animal receives.

📦 Size

1 Cup Scoop

Approx. 20g

As yarrow is a lightweight natural botanical, exact volume and weight may vary slightly between batches depending on leaf and flower size.

⚠️ Important

Yarrow is intended as a rotational botanical topper, not a daily staple or replacement for hay.

Because evidence around medicinal quantities of yarrow during pregnancy and nursing is limited, I would not recommend this topper for pregnant or nursing animals.

Do not use botanical forage as a replacement for veterinary treatment or prescribed medication.

Introduce gradually, particularly if your animal has never eaten yarrow before.

📦 Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Reseal after opening to protect from moisture and preserve its natural aroma.

Best used within 6 months of opening.

🌿 The GGT Approach

A topper doesn't need to fill the bowl to have a purpose.

Yarrow is one of those botanicals where small, intentional amounts make far more sense than huge portions.

Use it to add digestive support, appetite interest, antioxidant-rich botanical variety and another layer of natural enrichment to the forage your animal already loves.

No grains. No added sugars. No fillers.
