Oxbow Animal Health

Oxbow Animal Health is a U.S.-based company specializing in premium nutrition and care products for small exotic animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. Founded in 1980 by John Miller, the company began by producing high-quality hay and expanded its product line to include fortified foods, supplements, treats, and accessories. In January 2022, Oxbow was acquired by Compana Pet Brands, a St. Louis-based manufacturer and marketer of pet care and nutrition products, marking the largest acquisition in Compana's history. This acquisition aimed to enhance Compana's portfolio in the small pet category, aligning with their commitment to quality and innovation in pet health. Oxbow continues to operate under its brand name, offering a range of products designed to promote the health and well-being of small mammals. Manufacturing of Oxbow products occurs in multiple countries, with key partnerships both within the United States and China to produce their Enriched Life line, ensuring high standards of safety and quality. The company remains headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, and continues to serve pet owners globally with its comprehensive product offerings.
