Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kaytee Timothy Complete Treats for Guinea Pigs, 5-Pound

Customer Review: Better than most, but not as good as Oxbow
Summary: 4 Stars

As far as popular and commercially-available guinea pig pellets go, Kaytee Timothy Complete is one of the better choices, seeing as it doesn't have all those "extras" -- corn, seeds, colored crunchies that resemble dry cat food -- mixed in. (Stay away from the brands that have all the "extras" in the pellet mix, as they present a choking hazard and are nutritionally inadequate.)

My adult GPs liked the Kaytee Timothy Complete pellet perfectly fine; but then I started boycotting PetSmart and was forced to find pellets elsewhere. It's a good thing, too, because then I found the Oxbow Cavy Cuisine pellet. Oxbow is the best brand available due to nutrient content, freshness, digestibility, and far fewer preservatives. My piggies LOVE the Oxbow pellets and flat-out refuse to eat the Kaytee pellets now.

Go for the Oxbow Cavy Cuisine Timothy-based pellet (for adult GPs) or the Oxbow Cavy Performance Alfalfa-based pellet (for pups & pregnant females). They come in a red pouch, and you can get them for a very reasonable price if you shop around a little. However, if you can't find Oxbow, this Kaytee Timothy Complete pellet is probably your next best bet, given your options.

Update: Thanks to another reviewer on this page for pointing out one of the many toxic preservatives in this pellet. Most people would be surprised to see how many toxins are used as preservatives in the vast majority of pet foods. Please have enough love for your guinea pigs to do some research and find them the best pellet available! Your vet will be able to provide some guidance.

Description of Kaytee Timothy Complete Treats for Guinea Pigs, 5-Pound

Kaytee timothy complete is a pelleted daily diet made with nutritious sun-cured timothy hay combined with other essential ingredients necessary for your guinea pig. Timothy hay aids the natural digestive process of guinea pigs by providing fiber. Because timothy hay is lower in calcium than other grasses, it may decrease the likelihood of urinary tract problems and other health issues relative to guinea pigs.
