Sprouts for Animals

Animals need vegetables too - and they like them. In fact - many eat nothing but vegetables! You know your pets better then we do, so we don't generally offer advice on feeding, we just suggest seed combinations and help you sprout successfully. Look around the web for others who live with the same creatures you do - if you haven't already. There is a lot of information out there about Birds and sprouts, and Grass is commonly known to be enjoyed by cats. Dogs, Bunnies, Hamsters, Turtles, Iguanas - well - those are just a few of the critters that enjoy what we offer. Don't let the names fool you - many other creatures enjoy the sprouts listed on this page, but like we said - you know your friends better then we do, but we know how to sprout =:-D

The name of the bird mixes indicates the general size of the seeds in it. Any mix is fine for any bird.

All of our seeds are for human consumption, so your other-than-human friend is only getting the best.





THE SEEDS

Add to Cart

Red Clover, Alfalfa, Broccoli, 7 Lentils, Mung Beans & Hulless Oats

This New (2009) Mix is the perfect sprout mix-in for dogs.
Tested and approved by our mutts; Dobie and Chester, 4 Legs of Love also has our veterinarian's stamp of approval.

We have had dogs in our home forever. Beanie's Awesome Mix is named after our first dog, Clem's Choice is named for our 2nd dog, so it seems like this mix should have been introduced ages ago - all of our dogs have eaten sprouts. We decided it was about time we put something together that was specifically good for dogs, and also easy to get them to eat. This is great stuff!

Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley, Flax

Grass for cats, salad for cats (and kittens, and a plethora of other creatures), whatever you call it - it is really amazing stuff!
Cats and other creatures need vegetable matter in their diet, just like people, and Kat Grass supplies that along with great nutrition. We even include a little Flax which is good for their coats.
Many of you know that your cats need this, because they eat your house plants - that is the surest sign that your cat will love this treat. Kat Grass is easily grown - on soil or a soilless medium - like Baby Blanket. All you do to serve your cat (etc.) is to place the container of living grass near their food dish or in some other place they'll find it.

Bird Basics Sprout Kit

The amazing Easy Sprout Sprouter and 2 pounds of your choice of Big, Middle Size, Lil', or Dr. Bird.

.

A simple package for the bird lover. A wise bird person tells us that all of the mixes are all fine for all birds. A larger bird will consume smaller seeds more quickly than a smaller bird will consume larger seeds.
The Big Bird has some large seeds. The Lil' Bird has the smallest seeds ..... The Mid Bird has .... well - you get it.

To choose the Bird Mix you'd like us to send: Click either the link or the Add to Cart button - You will be taken to the kit's detailed page, where you make the choice using a pull-down menu.

4 Legs of Love - Dog Sprout Kit

An Easy Sprout Sprouter and 2 pounds of 4 Legs of Love, sprout mix for dogs.

.

A simple package for the dog guardian. We have always had dogs, and our dogs have always eaten sprouts as part of their diet. We find it most efficient to grind the sprouts (we have a mini food processor) just before feeding, and mix them in - thoroughly. That way even your finicky dogs won't be able to pick them out. If your dog is not finicky, there is no reason to grind them.

Lil' Critter Grass Kit

3 lightweight plastic containers for planting/growing along with 3 solid bases to capture water (this is basically a house plant after all), 2 pounds of Wheat Grass Seed, a 3 month supply (13 pre-cut pieces) of Baby Blanket planting medium.

Keep your Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Hamsters, etc. supplied with fresh, nutritious, delicious, tender Grass for months. We added this kit in honor of Lori's brother Dan, who has long fed Wheat Grass to his much beloved lil' critters.
We include extra planting containers (they are about 4x4 inches by the way) in case any break.

Winter Cat Grass Kit

5 lightweight plastic containers for planting/growing along with 5 solid bases to capture water (this is basically a house plant after all), 5 pounds of Kat Grass Seed, a 6 month supply (26 pre-cut pieces) of Baby Blanket planting medium, Liquid Kelp Fertilizer (concentrate: makes up to 50 gallons) and a Spray Bottle.

Kat Grass is a mix of Wheat, Rye, Barely, Oats and Flax

Keep your kitty (or other grass loving creature) supplied with fresh, nutritious, delicious, tender non-puking* Grass for up to 6 months. Saves your houseplants too! We include extra planting containers (they are about 4x4 inches by the way) in case any break - cats get pretty darned excited about grass =;-D

That your cats will not puke is not guaranteed. We only say non-puking because so many of our customers have told us how amazed they are that their cats do not puke it up. We had it on our Kat Grass sign when we were market vendors. Our farmers market customers always had a good chuckle over it.

Sprouting Devices
for Critter Crops

Follow links for detailed information about each Sprouter....

Easy Sprout

Overwhelmingly our most popular sprouter, Easy Sprout is also our personal favorite.
We have well over a dozen in our house. It offers great drainage and the best air-circulation of any sprouter.

Easy Sprout is made up of a 1 Quart (litre) Growing Vessel, a Solid container/Base that catches excess Rinse water, a Small Seed Insert that snaps in when sprouting small seeds, two Growing Lids (1 for home (Domed) and 1 for the road (Flat)), and a Solid Lid for refrigerator storage of your sprout crop.

Easy Sprout is the best all-around sprouter. Period. It is the mandatory choice for high humidity sproutpeople everywhere and great for travel sprouting! Very versatile - Easy Sprout can sprout virtually any seed, anywhere!

Easy Sprout is part of many of our Kits.

SproutMaster 5x6

SproutMaster is the greatest tray sprouter ever!
It offers excellent drainage, and is the best sprouter on this globe, for growing vertical Leafy Sprouts. The SproutMaster is very versatile - it can sprout virtually any seed. It is even able to grow Grass, Greens and Micro-Greens - with proper care, and perhaps a growing medium.

We sell two configurations
1) Three trays that measure 5x6 inches each.
2) A Single tray that measures 8x10 inches.

SproutMaster trays (of the same dimension) are stackable - add trays to build your own sprout skyscraper.
SproutMasters are comprised of Growing Trays, each with a removable Divider - which allows you to grow 2 crops in one Tray, and interchangeable Lids and Bases.

This SproutMaster is the 3 Tray, 5x6 Stack. It comes with 3 Trays, 3 Dividers, and 4 Lids/Bases.
That is enough Lids/Bases for almost anything you want to grow.

SproutMaster 8x10

It offers excellent drainage, and is the best sprouter on this globe, for growing vertical Leafy Sprouts. The SproutMaster is very versatile - it can sprout virtually any seed. It is even able to grow Grass, Greens and Micro-Greens - with proper care, and perhaps a growing medium.

We sell two configurations
1) Three trays that measure 5x6 inches each.

This SproutMaster is the single 8x10 inch Tray. It comes with 1 Tray, 1 Divider, and 2 Lids/Bases.
If you purchase multiple 8x10 trays, you'll end up with more of the Lids/Bases then you'll use regularly, but extras can be a good thing....

Hemp Bag

Made by Sproutpeople!

The perfect Bean and Grain sprouter. The Hemp Bag is even capable of growing Leafy and Brassica sprouts - though it takes extra care to do those well. It's also excellent for Micro-Greens - it acts as a planting medium.

The Hemp Bag is the most convenient travel sprouter ever. It folds up flat and does a great job hanging on a backpack, on a boat or over a hotel sink!

The Hemp Bag offers superior drainage and exceptional air-circulation.

Our Hemp Bags are made for us, locally.
They measure Approximately 6 1/2 inches wide x 9 1/2 inches tall.

1 Qt. Jar

This is a One-Quart, Wide-Mouth Mason Jar.
It isn't accompanied by a lid. Those are purchased separately. Keep on scrolling....

The least expensive, most basic sprouter, Jars - when topped by Screen Lids, are a fine choice for any skilled sprouter or for those willing to work a bit more diligently at rinsing and draining, or as an additional Sprouter, for easy sprouts, like Beans and Grains. A great choice for Pre-Sprouting Grass and Greens too!

Half-Gallon Jar

This is a Two-Quart (1/2 Gallon), Wide-Mouth Mason Jar.
It isn't accompanied by a lid. Those are purchased separately. Keep on scrolling....

The least expensive, most basic sprouter, Jars - when topped by Screen Lids, are a fine choice for any skilled sprouter or for those willing to work a bit more diligently at rinsing and draining, or as an additional Sprouter, for easy sprouts, like Beans and Grains.

Sproutpeople Stainless Steel 3-Screen Sprouting Lid Set

Made by Sproutpeople!

Fine mesh, Medium mesh and Coarse mesh.
Our 3-Screen Lid Set is made up of Stainless Steel Mesh - in 3 different mesh sizes (fine, medium and course) - each nestled in a heavy-duty Plastic Ring. Our Screen Lids fit Wide-Mouth Jar Mason Jars, like those we sell.

The wider the mesh - the more readily water and air pass through the screen. Use the fine mesh (the finest mesh size ever!) for small seeds (Leafy and Brassica sprouts), the medium mesh for Grains and small Beans and the coarse mesh for large Beans.
As your sprouts grow bigger, you can move to a bigger mesh size to improve air-circulation and facilitate the escape of hulls, thus making de-hulling easier.

Bio-Set

Bio-Set is a low-rinse, round, European sprouter with 3 growing trays, a drip tray at its base and a reservoir tray on top.

Though we dislike Bio-Set as a Sprouter - due to its poor drainage and air-circulation - it remains quite popular.

Fine for big seeds like Beans and Grains, Bio-Set is among the most attractive Sprouters.
We continue to offer it due to our customer's demands. Please Don't buy this before thoroughly reading our detailed Bio-Set page.
