Oxbow and shipping!?!?!

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

So….I bought some Oxbow from VRRA when I adopted Chuck (that’s what he was on). I was considering somehow switching to Oxbow…Anyways I’m feeding a mix of Martin’s/Oxbow. Martin’s is good but not as good as Oxbow;

Here’s what I’m thinking, continue to buy Martins (because it’s good and CHEAP) and feed it fifty/fity with Oxbow.

Soooooo my question…I know Oxbow will ship to Canada (not on their site but if you email them details they will) So Canadians, have you ever ordered from Oxbow? How was the cost of shipping (what did you order)? Was there a COD when it got to you?

have you checked to see if there are any stores that carry it somewhat near you? even if they were a couple hours away, maybe they could ship it to you from their store and it might be cheaper… it’s worth a phone call.

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

None… my other option was to ask this local mom n’ pop petstore if they’d order it for me

[Beka27]

no stores in alberta anywhere?! Dr Foster and Smith carries it too, not sure if they deliver to CA tho…

k&k Calgary’s Exotic and Avian Vet clinic here carries oxbow, is it possible there is a clinic there that carries it as well? I’m not sure if the clinic here would be willing to do any sort of shipment but here is their info if you wanted to call and see even if they know of a clinic there that would carry it:

3118 – 17 Avenue S.W.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
T3E OB2

Tel: 403-240-3577
Fax: 403-249-8160

Beka – it’s so sad, but no pet stores here carry oxbow, actually I find it very diffucult to find good quality food/hay for rabbits in general at the pet stores here. In all of Calgary there is one specialty pet store that actually takes care in the quality of their treats/food… except they have those yogurt dipped treats for rabbits.. I really wish they’d stop selling those altogether.

Thanks Sam!!! I was just thinking maybe I’d phone my vet and see…At any rate I defo want to keep feeding it (mixed with Martins, because that is still a good quality food, just lower in fibre then I’d like). I’ll give that vet a call and see!!

there is one petstore about 20 minutes away from me that carries it. it’s a little mom and pop, but i actually get mine right from my vet. it’s what she recommends… so she carries the pellets and tim hay. it’s worth a shot K&K…

I just did a google search for “Oxbow Edmonton, Alberta, Canada” and got this opinion on a guinea pig site:

Sherwood Park, Edmonton, Alberta area
Practice limited to Small Animal and Exotic Pets
Dr. Louis Kwantes, BSc, DVM, MSc Park Veterinary Centre 101 Broadway Blvd Sherwood Park, AB T8H 2A8
Phone: (780)-417-1119 Fax: (780)-417-2600

Dr. Kwantes and the other vets at Park Veterinary Centre seem very competent, knowledgeable and caring….the clinic is clean and bright, the reception staff and the vet techs are friendly and gentle. The clinic also sells Oxbow small animal products.

If you know where that is, or if it’s not far, I’d suggest calling them to see what they carry for rabbits. If you said you’d buy it from them, you could probably get them to add your requests to their next order.

I always got my Oxbow products from a vet I didn’t otherwise use, and later from my own vet who started carrying it. Never saw it anywhere else.

cool find, Pam. and if it’s close to you, you could also have another possible vet just in case…

[Kokaneeandkahlua]
