Feeding Instructions
If 2% of a typical horse's weight should be fed each day, a 1100 pound horse needs 22 pounds of feed per day. At least 25% of this -- 5.5 pounds -- can be beet pulp. Pellets can be fed all at once or split up between a morning or evening feeding. They can be fed alone or mixed with other feeds. While some nutritionists recommend soaking beet pulp pellets at least 30 minutes prior to feeding, many believe soaking is not necessary. Dried beet pulp will remain feedable for at least one year so long as they are kept dry.
As with any change in feed ration, it is best to change a horse's feed gradually. As such, we suggest substituting no more than 25% for the first two weeks in order to allow the horse's gut to adjust. After that, most horses can consume up to 50% of their overall diet as beet pulp.

Love how clean these pellets are
I was hesitant to buy beet pulp pellets because who has the extra time to soak pellets versus shreds? Well the pellets were cheaper pound per pound so I thought
I was hesitant to buy beet pulp pellets because who has the extra time to soak pellets versus shreds? Well the pellets were cheaper pound per pound so I thought I would try them. I’m so happy I did. Yes, they take longer to soak (I’ve started just soaking in the morning to feed at night) but they are soooo clean. I don’t feel like I have to rinse these 3-4 times. I just soak in a lot water and drain (the water is close to clear) and rinse one time. This has saved me a significant amount of time, which I appreciate during the winter. 10/10 recommend these!
Poor quality manufacturing quality control and unresponsive manufacturer.
This WAS my go to feed for all the old horses at our rescue that need to add or retain weight. Some are IR or EMS or PPID. Safe feed when rinsed, soaked, rinsed
This WAS my go to feed for all the old horses at our rescue that need to add or retain weight. Some are IR or EMS or PPID. Safe feed when rinsed, soaked, rinsed. We soak so the oldies that are toothless or missing teeth can eat it. HOWEVER, the last several bags we have purchased have had hard, charcoal looking pellets (they don't dissolve in 2 hours either). I notified the sales mgr, the website contact, direct email to the company, AND left phone messages to advise them of the issue. Absolutely no response, nada. Needless to say, we couldn't afford to keep dumping "contaminated" feed - which is what we consider it until the mfgr tells us what the situation is. So, we are now using only Standlee brand beet pulp, which is only a 40 pound bag and takes longer to soften the pellets. But it is clean and we just rinse out the extra molasses. We need a manufacturer who is responsive and cares about the customer.
A Game-Changer! Finally, a Pellet That Delivers on Expansion and Value

I've been a dedicated horse owner for decades and, like many, I was loyal to a specific brand of feed pellet for years. However, when they recently changed their formulation, I was seriously frustrated,it took double the amount of pellets just to produce the volume of feed I needed. The lack of efficiency was becoming costly and unsustainable. I decided to take a chance on this brand, and I am absolutely THRILLED with the results! These pellets are a true game changer. They expand beautifully upon soaking, creating a generous, voluminous amount of feed that immediately solved my previous pellet to yield problem. Not only am I getting better value and using less product, but the feed quality is excellent. Most importantly, my horses absolutely love it. The palatability is clearly high, and I can be confident that they are getting the satisfying, adequate volume they need at mealtime. If you've been struggling with poor pellet expansion or low yield from your current feed, I highly recommend making this switch.
The texture
This stuff is great! Hot water, and they break up and turn into an oatmeal consistency in 30 mins. My horse eats them like its the best treat ever! I love this brand

Comparable to Standlee Beet Pulp
I thought I would try this brand of beet pulp instead of the Standlee brand. Soaks and feeds the same plus it’s a little less expensive!

Clean quality
This Unbeetable Feeds has been the best beer pulp we have ever given our horses. They are older mares and harder to keep weight on. We soak this everyday and feed
This Unbeetable Feeds has been the best beer pulp we have ever given our horses. They are older mares and harder to keep weight on. We soak this everyday and feed it to them and they love it. It’s great quality and I don’t even have to drive to the store! It’s delivered and so convenient for me.
It was nice that it was a 50lb bag!
Have only been able to get the 40 lb bag of a different bag. I like to get the bigger bags so I don't have to go get more. It was nice to be delivered to my house
Have only been able to get the 40 lb bag of a different bag. I like to get the bigger bags so I don't have to go get more. It was nice to be delivered to my house too! Especially with an infant in Wisconsin winters.
Good product
We were using another brand bought locally. Their formula changed noticeably, swelling almost half as much and a red color, and no explanation written on the bag
We were using another brand bought locally. Their formula changed noticeably, swelling almost half as much and a red color, and no explanation written on the bag for this change. Chewy’s beet pellets are what we have come to expect and there is 10 more pounds in the bag to boot! Good job Chewy!
