Wheatgrass for Happy, Healthy Pets

Nature’s own superfood — cut fresh and delivered alive. From cats and dogs to rabbits and guinea pigs, your pets deserve the same living nutrition you do.

Discover the Benefits

Real Food. Real Reactions.

Watch what happens when pets get their first taste of fresh, living wheatgrass. There’s no manufactured flavouring, no processing, no mystery ingredients — just a living plant, cut the morning it reaches you, packed with the enzymes, chlorophyll, and nutrients your pet’s body recognises instinctively.

Wheatgrass is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth. It contains 17 amino acids (including 8 essential ones), vitamins A, C, E, K and the full B complex, iron, calcium, magnesium, and a remarkable concentration of chlorophyll — the same compound that gives plants their deep green colour and their extraordinary antioxidant properties.

The difference between dried powder from a health food store and a freshly cut tray delivered the same morning? Everything. Nutrients degrade. Enzymes deactivate. Living food is a different category entirely.

What Wheatgrass Does

A plant that works across species — supporting digestion, immunity, enrichment and more.

🌿

Digestive Support

The fibre and enzymes in wheatgrass actively support gut health — promoting regularity, easing constipation, and helping pets process their food more effectively. Particularly beneficial for animals prone to digestive sluggishness.

Antioxidant Power

Wheatgrass contains significant levels of phenolic compounds and chlorophyll, both of which show measurable antioxidant activity. These compounds help neutralise free radicals — supporting cellular health and reducing oxidative stress over time.

💊

Chlorophyll & Blood Health

Chlorophyll — the compound that makes wheatgrass so vividly green — is structurally similar to haemoglobin. It supports oxygen transport in the blood and contributes to the kind of deep, cellular vitality you can see in your pet’s coat, eyes, and energy levels.

🛡

Immune System Support

Vitamins A, C, and E work together as a powerful immune-support trio. Regular small amounts of wheatgrass can contribute to a more robust immune response — particularly relevant for older pets or those recovering from illness.

🏠

Environmental Enrichment

For indoor cats, rabbits, and small animals, access to a fresh, living plant to graze and nibble is a form of environmental enrichment that supports natural behaviour. Veterinary guidance from Cyndi Brown recognises wheatgrass as appropriate enrichment across multiple companion species.

Gluten-Free & Safe

Despite coming from the wheat plant, wheatgrass harvested before the grain forms contains no gluten. It is recognised as safe for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas — and our wheatgrass is pesticide-free, grown right here in Cheltenham.

For Your Cats

Cats are obligate carnivores — so why do they eat grass? It turns out they’re onto something. Wheatgrass is one of the most widely recommended forms of cat grass, and for good reason.

Fresh Wheatgrass — Same Day Cut
Living Nutrition — Not Dried Powder
🐈
Natural Hairball Remedy The fibre in wheatgrass helps cats pass or expel indigestible matter including fur — naturally reducing the frequency of hairballs without medication.
🌿
Gut Health & Regularity Wheatgrass acts as a gentle digestive aid — supporting cats prone to constipation and helping regulate the gut without disrupting their core diet.
🏠
Enrichment for Indoor Cats Indoor cats benefit enormously from access to a living plant to graze and interact with. Wheatgrass provides safe, stimulating, natural behaviour — bring the outdoors in.
Suitable for Most Cats Vet-reviewed guidance from Catster confirms wheatgrass is suitable for most cats including kittens — simply introduce small amounts gradually and keep it as a supplement alongside their regular diet.
Dog Training — Wheatgrass Reward

A Smarter Reward for Dog Training

Most training treats are high in calories, artificially flavoured, or full of preservatives. But effective training just needs a reward your dog finds genuinely motivating — and it turns out, fresh wheatgrass fits that description perfectly.

Dogs are naturally drawn to grass — it’s an instinctive behaviour. A small piece of freshly cut wheatgrass works brilliantly as a low-calorie, nutrient-rich training reward that your dog will actually be excited about. And unlike commercial treats, every bite comes with a genuine health benefit.

  • Zero empty calories Wheatgrass is nutrient-dense but extremely low in calories — perfect for high-repetition training sessions where conventional treats would quickly add up.
  • 🌿
    Instinctively appealing Dogs are hardwired to forage. Fresh, living wheatgrass engages that natural instinct in a way dried treats simply can’t match — making it a genuinely compelling reward.
  • 🛡
    No artificial additives No flavour enhancers, no preservatives, no mystery ingredients. Just a living plant, cut fresh the same morning it reaches you.
  • Digestive bonus Each small reward also delivers fibre, enzymes, and antioxidants — so training sessions double as a daily wellness boost.

Rabbits, Guinea Pigs & More

Herbivorous small pets are the natural home for wheatgrass. Their digestive systems are built for fresh green matter — and wheatgrass delivers it in its most potent, living form.

🐇

Rabbits

Wheatgrass is listed by both the House Rabbit Society and UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine as an accepted safe green within a proper hay-based diet. It adds forage variety, enrichment, and digestive support. A published rabbit study found wheatgrass supplementation improved cholesterol and oxidative-stress markers under dietary stress — the strongest direct scientific evidence found in any pet species.

Introduce slowly • Wash thoroughly • Rotate with other greens
🐹

Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are natural grazers and thrive on access to fresh green matter beyond their hay staple. Wheatgrass provides a safe, vitamin-rich addition to their diet — particularly valuable as a source of vitamin C, which guinea pigs cannot synthesise themselves. UC Davis exotics guidance includes wheat grass among appropriate food sources for guinea pigs.

Excellent vitamin C source • Great alongside hay • Enrichment grazing
🐰

Chinchillas & Small Mammals

UC Davis veterinary exotics guidance lists wheatgrass as an appropriate fresh green for chinchillas. For small herbivorous mammals generally, the key is the same: wheatgrass as one part of a varied, species-appropriate diet — never as a replacement for their core nutrition, but as a genuinely valuable supplement and enrichment item.

Part of varied diet • Moderation • Always alongside species staples
What the Research Shows

Grounded in Evidence

Rabbit Study — Sethi et al. In a controlled study of 30 rabbits, wheatgrass supplementation improved cholesterol levels, raised HDL-C, and significantly improved oxidative-stress markers compared with the control group.
VCA Veterinary Guidance Vets Malcolm Weir (DVM, MSc) and Lynn Buzhardt (DVM) confirm that cat grass — including wheatgrass — can aid digestion, reduce hairballs, and support gut function in cats.
UC Davis Exotics Nutrition The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine lists wheat grass among appropriate nutritious foods for adult rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, with emphasis on moderation and dietary variety.
Veterinary Enrichment Research Cyndi Brown’s published veterinary paper supports organic wheatgrass as appropriate environmental enrichment for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, and birds — a genuine welfare benefit in captive settings.

Safe. Simple. Fresh.

A few straightforward guidelines to make sure your pet gets the most from their wheatgrass.

🌿 Introduce Gradually Start with a small amount and let your pet’s system adjust over a few days before offering more.
Pesticide-Free Our wheatgrass is grown without pesticides or fertilisers right here in Cheltenham. Always choose organic or trusted sources for pet use.
Supplement, Not Replacement Wheatgrass is a supplement and enrichment item — not a replacement for your pet’s core, species-appropriate diet.
📅 Moderation is Key A little goes a long way. Especially for cats — too much can occasionally cause vomiting. Small, regular portions are ideal.
