Dog Treats - What To Do With Spent Grain

5/14/2012

Many commercial breweries sell their spent grain to farmers who use it to feed livestock. What do you do with yours? 

Although I've heard a small amount of grain makes quite a few and you won't use all of it this way, one popular option is to make dog biscuits!

Here's how.

What You'll Need

4 Cups of Spent Grain
4 Cups of Flour
1-2 Cups of Peanut Butter
1-2 Eggs

Directions

  • In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients and spread the mixture evenly onto a large cookie sheet. Press down to make it is as dense as possible.
  • Use a cookie cutter or knife to score into clever dog treat shapes.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. They won't spread out much like normal cookies and should retain the shape you started with.
  • Remove from oven and let cool enough to loosen them from the cookie sheet. Break apart any pieces necessary and then place back on the cookie sheet, evenly spread out.
  • Put the snacks back in the oven and bake for 8-10 hours at 225°F. This extra time ensures they dry fully and reduces any risk of mold growth.

I came across this recipe a few months back on another website and have been making dog treats with my spent grains ever since. My dogs go crazy for these and everyone I give them to says the same. These are like crack for dogs; I'm now considering putting the pooches in a twelve step program!

As in the case of dogs of various breeds, husky puppies require proper care in order to grow healthily into adults

No matter how much we may love our pooch, we can't deny that they can often come with some unpleasant smells!
