About Supreme Petfoods
Supreme Petfoods is a UK-based company that has been a significant player in small animal nutrition for many years. They are best known to rabbit owners for their "Selective" and "Science Selective" lines, widely recommended by veterinarians. Products are readily available in the US through major pet retailers and Amazon.
What makes Supreme notable is their commitment to species-specific nutrition. They focus on high-fiber, nutritionally complete diets for rabbits — moving away from problematic muesli-style mixes still common in the market.
What we like
- High-Fiber Uniform Pellets: Selective Adult Rabbit Food has each pellet identical, preventing selective feeding. ~25% fiber directly supports gut health.
- Specific Life Stage Options: The Science Selective Junior formula has higher protein and calcium for growing rabbits, while adult formulas are tailored for maintenance.
- Timothy Hay as Primary Ingredient: Many Science Selective formulas prominently feature Timothy hay — ideal for adult rabbits.
- Reasonably Priced: Mid-tier pricing for vet-recommended pellets — excellent value compared to cheaper, less suitable options.
What to watch out for
- Snack Lines Vary: Some Selective Naturals treats are higher in sugar or starch than ideal. Read ingredients and offer in tiny quantities.
- Forage Blends Aren't Hay: Their hay/forage blends are good complements but should never replace unlimited fresh, plain Timothy or orchard hay.
Best for
Best for any owner committed to a high-quality nutritionally complete diet. Particularly well-suited for owners seeking vet-recommended pellets for both junior and adult rabbits. An excellent reliable choice for first-time owners.
