Why make bone broth for your dogs?

Bone broth for your dog is full of delicious and nutritious minerals and nutrients, like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, but most importantly is it delicious!

It can help to maintain a healthy gut and support your dog’s immune system, especially for dogs with digestive issues, and can help to detox their liver.

It can provide joint protection through the vitamins and minerals it contains, and why not give it a boost by adding some turmeric?

Bone broth is also hydrating, this is important for all dogs, but especially if you’re pet has been unwell, upset stomachs or steroids for any reason.

How do I make bone broth?

You can use a slow cooker, pressure cooker, saucepan, or make the bone broth in the oven.

Just add your bones, cooked or raw, cover with water, add any extras (see below for ideas)

Some believe vinegar/apple cider vinegar helps draw the goodness out, others say not! So add a tablespoon or not as you wish!!

Simmer, strain, and safely and securely dispose of the bones (please never feed cooked bones), and feed the broth, you can feed room temperature or chill or freeze for later use.

Suggested simmering times are

Pressure cooker 2 hours

Saucepan 3-4 hours

Slow cooker 12 hours

What bones can I use fo the bone broth?

Actually any!!!! Cooked or raw, chicken, beef, lamb, venison, any protein!! And carcass, ribs, leg, any bone!!

Making bone broth for your dog is a great use of the Sunday dinner bones, as you should not feed dogs cooked bones.

Boost Your Bone Broth

Add garlic, turmeric, ginger, herbs (parsley, dandelion, nettles), mushrooms, lemon, vegetables, as you wish.

Bone broth for your dog can be served on its own or as an addition to a meal, meat or kibble can be boosted with this healthy broth. It may set into jelly when chilled, if it doesn’t set, don’t worry, it is still full of goodness.

A great idea is to freeze your cooked bone broth in an ice cube tray for feeding later, and it is great to have it on hand to feed if they have an upset tummy.
