What Are Spent Brewing Grains?
Spent brewing grains — often called spent grain — are the nutrient-rich by-products left after brewing beer. During brewing, grains like barley are steeped to extract sugars, leaving behind a fibrous, protein-packed ingredient. Once considered waste, these grains are now recognized as a sustainable superfood for pets.
🌱 At TerraPawz, we upcycle these wholesome grains into our Doggie Beer Bones, Nutty Bark Bites, and Cheezy Bark Bites — turning brewery by-products into pup-approved nutrition!
Nutritional Benefits of Spent Brewing Grains
1. High in Fiber for Healthy Digestion
Fiber helps regulate your dog’s digestion and promotes gut balance — ideal for pups prone to tummy troubles. It also helps them feel full longer, supporting healthy weight management.
2. Rich in Plant-Based Protein
Spent grains offer a valuable source of plant-powered protein, supporting muscle maintenance and repair. Combined with other natural ingredients like peanut butter and flaxseed, they deliver complete, balanced nutrition.
3. Packed with Vitamins and Minerals
These grains naturally contain B vitamins, iron, and magnesium — key nutrients for energy, skin health, and strong bones.
4. Natural Antioxidants for Vitality
Antioxidants found in spent grains help combat oxidative stress, supporting long-term health and immune function.
