Bone Broth for Dogs is a tasty, nourishing recipe that your dogs will adore. It is a simple way to increase the amount of vitamins and nutrients in your dog’s diet and calls for beef bones and vegetables. When we are about to serve the broth, our dogs start jumping around in anticipation of it.
Dogs can get a lot of collagen, glucosamine, protein, and amino acids like glycine from bone broth. All of which help ensure that your dogs live long and fulfilling lives. In particular, collagen can enhance your dog’s digestion, mobility, and skin and coat. In addition to enhancing joint health, glucosamine can also slow the progression of arthritis. Finally, glycine and protein help your dog’s muscles grow stronger and stop muscle tissue from deteriorating.
Additionally, dogs with digestive issues or upset stomachs may benefit from bone broth. It firstly offers excellent hydration and, secondly, can help your dog’s digestive system recover from an illness. [feast_advanced_jump_to].
Tip: Make sure to simmer the broth for the duration of cooking, rather than boiling it. The soup will lose liquid if you boil it. Slow cooking slowly draws out the flavors from the marrow.
DO NOT give your dog any of the soup’s bones. Cooked bones splinter and can seriously injure your dog.
It is possible to include beef bone broth in a bowl of kibble. To avoid overfeeding your dog, we advise reducing the amount of kibble you use. Additionally, the broth softens kibble, making it simpler for your dog to digest the food.
You can use additional beef, chicken, or turkey bones, or a combination of all of them. Because chicken bones are more brittle than beef bones, you should strain the broth to remove any cartilage or small pieces of bone.
We recommend serving the soup warm, but not hot. Hot soup can burn your dog. Wait until the soup cools before serving.
Fill a sealable bag with the bone broth, then gently press any remaining air out. Seal the bag and lay it flat in your freezer. Additionally, you can freeze the soup in a lidded freezer tray and remove a serving to reheat when necessary.
For up to four days, keep this dog bone broth in the refrigerator in the pot or a container. Before storing the dog food in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature. In an airtight container, such as this reusable silicone freezing tray, or storage bag, freeze the bone broth for up to three months. Heat 1 serving from the tray over low heat when it’s time for your dog’s dinner. After that, let it cool before incorporating it into your dog’s kibble.

Regular Stock is Just As Good
When it comes to feeding your dog, bone broth and chicken or beef stock are two very different things. While both are safe for humans to eat, stock is not a suitable food for your dog. The ingredients in stock, such as onions and garlic, are toxic to dogs.
Stock typically has added sodium. Dogs get plenty of salt from their meat-rich diets. Therefore added salt should always be avoided. Packaged stock is frequently made from bouillon or soup and sauce mixes, which may contain monosodium glutamate (MSG) and artificial meat flavoring. Neither of those things are good for Fido!.
The quality of the bones and meat matters. Some stocks are made with bones and meat from animals given hormones or antibiotics, which shouldn’t be consumed by your dog. You cannot be certain unless you are aware of the origin of the bones used in a product. This can be done most easily by checking with the manufacturer or by purchasing the ingredients and making your own broth.
Additionally, since stock is prepared more quickly and at higher temperatures than bone broth, it does not have the same nutritional value. A broth that is cooked for longer at a lower temperature is healthier.
It Benefits Your Dog’s Gut Health
The nutrients found in bone broth help with your dogs digestion. Bone broth also benefits your dogs gut health by making a condition known as leaky gut less likely.
Millions of tiny holes in the intestinal lining allow nutrients that have been digested to pass through and benefit the rest of the body. However, bacterial overgrowth, a poor diet, stress, and other health issues can cause these holes to grow larger. When that happens, your dog suffers from leaky gut. With this condition, things like toxins or undigested food can pass through the holes where they aren’t supposed to. Usually, this results in allergies or food sensitivities.
Bone broth can aid in preventing or treating leaky gut due to its high gelatin content (an ingredient created when collagen is cooked). In your dog’s intestinal lining, gelatin literally plugs the larger holes, only allowing the essential nutrients to pass through.
Using a probiotic designed specifically for dogs can also help your dog’s digestive system. The Native Pets Probiotic Powder is a fantastic option for promoting a balanced microbial environment in the intestines.
