I want to get the word out on a very serious issue. If you have a dog DO NOT compost your hops, do not spread them in the yard, do not leave them out where your dog has access to them!!!
Hops are a very serious threat to dogs, I write this after just losing my 17 month old Doberman puppy who ate some hops that were in my yard after a brew day. I had no idea how deadly hops are to dogs otherwise I would have never put spent hops out in the yard. Hops can cause Malignant Hyperthermia which is essentially a very rapid rise in body temperature, in our case her temperature when from 103 - 107 in less than half an hour while we were at the vet. She then had a heart attack and died.
Please please spread the word about how dangerous hops are to dogs - this is so tragic in that it was so preventable had I only known!
