Does anybody use Pets at Home own hay?

I've used it on the odd occasion when I havent been able to get the usual hay. I don't like it much - very short and bitty. The girls love it though.
 
We used it to start with but then discovered Dust Free Hay which is soo much better!

I've always thought it was quite over priced and didn't look as good as some other brands so never bothered to try it (:
 
I have it here at the moment, which is why I am asking. I used to buy it before, but then I saw another type of hay there. I understand what you mean by short and bitty...but my pigs seem to like it too.

Like I just said, I saw another hay there and I have bought a couple of bags of that previously...cant remember what hay it was though...it was very green...I think that means it is fresh right? My pigs like that, but seemed to be picky and choosy on what bits of it they ate...they left a lot of it on the floor and refused to eat it. It had longer/thicker pieces of hay in it.

I have just bought a new one - Natures Best (Devon Ltd) Dust Extracted Devonshire Meadow Hay.....anyone used this before? It is in a white and clear packet with black and green writing. I bought it in a small local pet shop - it was much cheaper for a bigger bag so thought I would try it when my current bag runs out.
 
My pigs used to love the P@H timothy hay - but with 10 pigs i order my supplies bulk, this includes their pellets, hay and megazorb for their litter trays.

To be honest P@H is ok if you just need a small bag of food/hay to manage a day or so, but it is very over priced - nearly £5.00 for 1kg of hay ?/
 
When I got Clive from there I bought their hay, it's nearly run out now and once it's gone I'm going to shop around and get some better quality hay for him. He doesn't dislike it but it's all he knows so he wouldn't really. I need a bigger bag anyway, especially if his boar dating turns out well.
 
I have p@h hay just because when I got it before getting my pigs I hadn't really researched hay that much and I got a massive bale. Tbh my boys love it so I suppose its not all that bad. They are a bit fussy with change so I'll probably be getting the same next time
 
I used to get it until a few months ago when I ordered from Hay for Pets. I never really knew about whether the P@H hay was good quality or bad quality and the pigs did seem to like it, but after I ordered from Hay for Pets I realised just how bad the hay is from there, only when you open a bag of good quality hay and smell that lovely sweet smell will you know! Highly recommend Hay for Pets xx
 
I used Pets @ Home hay, it's alright like sometime you can get it and it's horrible other times it's nice!
I only order it as sometimes it's on offer 3 for 2
I will be moving to another hay tho :)

Anyone ever used this?
 
I too used to use pets at home hay and as other people say it is very hit and miss with quality, and expensive for how much you get too. I use Dust free Hay company now, very pleased with their soft hay in the large bale, and it goes such a long way too, seems to last ages.
 
i wouldent even give it to the chickens to scratch around in, its terrible, trouble is soo many people dont know thediffernce between good and bad hay, and so long as people buy it they will continue to sell rubbish hay.
 
I use P@H hay and I mix it with some Excel Herbage. I think people look at me funny because when I buy it I inspect it as much as possible as you can get a bad batch. I have taken the hay back on two occasions as my pigs would not eat it, and you can tell it was much more yellow or to short and dusty and neither time was it queried, they were happy to swap it no questions.
 
I think it is really terrible quality, I get my hay from a local chain called Just for pets, used to be called Wilsons pets centre
I am switching to hay from hay for pets site as the quality of the hay from just for pets has started to get like pets at home hay.
