Ultra Premium Echinacea Soft Timothy Hay

Dried echinacea stems and flowers are a common botanical treat for small herbivores and are included here as a minor texture and foraging add-in to soft Timothy hay.

As with any new food, introduce it gradually and watch for any reaction. This is a treat and enrichment topper, not a substitute for your pet's regular free-choice hay.

A small handful a few times a week to daily is plenty as an enrichment topper — this is a treat and forage add-in, not your pet's primary hay.

Keep unlimited grass hay (Timothy or Orchard) available as the everyday base.

Start with a small amount and watch how your pet responds over the first day or two.

Once you know it agrees with them, work it into your normal treat and enrichment rotation.

Store in a cool, dry place with good airflow — a breathable bag or bin works well.

Avoid sealing in plastic long-term; trapped moisture can lead to mold.

Commercial hay from a trusted producer is very low risk for RHDV2, and we monitor official reporting for the regions where we source and pack hay.

We source in Northern California, where there have been no reported RHDV2 cases in our sourcing and warehouse areas to date. Current inventory is from the 2025–2026 growing season in that region. USDA guidance suggests dried virus may remain stable about three months; we follow harvest timing, storage, and handling with that in mind.

For symptoms, vaccines, maps, and what we watch ongoing, see our RHDV2 information hub and the RHDV2 section of our FAQ.

Both use the same dried echinacea — the difference is the hay base. Timothy has a classic grassy base and slightly higher fiber range. Orchard Grass is sweeter, softer, and more fragrant on its own, before the echinacea is even added.

Yes, in moderation. Keep total treats and botanical toppers to a small portion of your pet's diet, with free-choice grass hay as the everyday base.
