Gem Premier Mini Flake Shavings

GEM Premier Small Flake Shavings are the same as our Premier White except they are flakes about the size of your pinky nail.  They are very absorbent and easy to "pick".  As with all of our other shavings products the dust has been removed.

GEM Premier Softwood Shavings are a mix of kiln dried Douglas fir and true firs. 

What makes our Whites so good for bedding is that it contains almost no phenols! Phenols are the chemical compounds found in what we think of as “pitch” or resin.  The absence of phenols provides three very important benefits:

• The shavings will absorb more fluids than other woods.
• The shavings are essentially a hypoallergenic bedding material (phenols are the main culprit of   allergic reactions by animals to bedding).
• The shavings will break down into compost approximately 5 times faster than pine or other wood shavings. Thus, soiled white shavings make an excellent soil amendment material.   

After GEM’s triple filtering process removes the “fines” (wood dust), we compact and package the shavings into bales approximately four cubic feet that will expand to approximately 12 cubic feet. In our mind, these shavings are the best bedding available.

GEM Premier White Shavings are available in farm, ranch, and pet stores throughout Washington, Oregon, California & Alaska.  They are also distributed in Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Please call, write or  e-mail for the names of  dealers or distributors near you. If our shavings are not available in your area, inquire about direct shipment. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
