Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Oxbow Simple Rewards Baked Cranberry Treats?

Ans: Contains timothy grass, oat groat flour, barley flour, cane molasses, dried cranberry, guar gum, mixed tocopherols (preservative), and rosemary extract without artificial colors, added sugars, or preservatives.

Q2: How do cranberries benefit small pets' urinary and overall health?

Ans: Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins and antioxidants supporting immune function and potentially reducing pathogenic bacterial adherence to urinary epithelial cells. Antioxidants protect against oxidative stress and support metabolic health naturally.

Q3: Are these treats suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs specifically?

Ans: Yes, these treats combine timothy hay fiber with cranberry antioxidants, making them beneficial for rabbits and guinea pigs needing digestive support and enrichment. Always introduce gradually and monitor individual tolerance.

Q4: How much fiber do these treats provide compared to unlimited timothy hay?

Ans: These treats provide 12-15% fiber supplementing but not replacing unlimited timothy hay foundation. Timothy hay remains superior for continuous digestive support, dental health, and proper fiber intake. Treats add variety only.

Q5: Is cane molasses appropriate for small pets with dietary restrictions?

Ans: Cane molasses adds natural sweetness and palatability in moderation. At 1-2% daily treat portions, molasses content poses minimal risk. Diabetic pets require veterinary consultation before receiving molasses-containing treats.

Q6: Can these treats help prevent urinary tract infections in small pets?

Ans: Cranberries' proanthocyanidins may provide some urinary health support by reducing bacterial adhesion. However, treats should supplement, not replace, veterinary care for actual infections. Consult your veterinarian for UTI prevention or treatment.

Q7: How do baked treats compare to pellet or extruded treats?

Ans: Baking gently preserves nutrients without excessive heat; extrusion uses high temperatures, increasing starch digestibility but potentially damaging heat-sensitive nutrients. Baked treats offer gentler nutrient preservation compared to extruded formats.

Q8: Can these treats replace my pet's regular pellets and hay?

Ans: No, treats supplement but cannot replace high-fiber timothy hay or species-appropriate pelleted diet. Treats provide enrichment and variety; unlimited hay and quality pellets remain an essential foundation for complete nutrition and health.

Ans: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in original resealable packaging after opening to maintain freshness. Check for mold or deterioration before offering. Shelf-stable format requires no refrigeration.
