- Artificial preservatives, flavours and additives
- Molasses – no added sugar
- Cereals and cereal by-products
Meadow Lite with Herbs

Soft, tasty meadow grasses are blended with high-quality oat straw to offer a low-calorie feed which does not compromise on chew time.

Pure Grass Pellets
Simply 100% naturally grown meadow grass with no added sugar. High in fibre and highly-digestible Dengie Pure Grass Pellets are ideal for snack balls and can be fed as a partial hay replacer.
