What is Bone Broth?
Bone broth has been around from the beginning of mankind. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors would never consider wasting any part of a good kill. Everything was used from the kill: meat, organs, horns, hide, and even the bones. Bone broth is the liquid made from cooked bones and water.
Dog Bone Broth Benefits
Over the years, bone broth has been used to nourish the body. Typical uses of bone broth include healing the gut, easing allergies, boosting the immune system, aiding joint health, and even helping with neurological disorders. Bone marrow contains protein, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals.
When looking at bone broth through the eyes of Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory, bones are connected to the kidney system. By consuming the marrow from the bones, you will be supporting your dog’s kidneys and increasing QI (energy).
How to Make Bone Broth for a Dog
Making dog bone broth is pretty easy. I make Dexter’s organic bone broth in a slow cooker, then freeze his bone broth in ice cube trays and serve one a day. When you are looking to boost your dog’s nutrition, it’s important to start with quality ingredients, preferably organic. At the minimum, I purchase hormone- and antibiotic-free bones.
Your bone broth recipe can be flexible and changeable. Including organic meat bones with cartilage, distilled water, and organic raw apple cider vinegar is a great start.

I think this is great. Dogs need to be cared for and given healthy foods too!
Thanks, Neely. The great thing is we can share this recipe. 🙂
Everyone says not to give your dog bones since they can choke on them. This is a perfect solution! They get the taste without the danger!
🙂 Bone broth is amazing for our pets and ourselves. Yes, cooked bones are a huge choking hazard along with broken teeth.
I’m pretty sure my dog would love this. It is really nice to see that I could make this for him so easily right here at home.
🙂 So tasty! Making things at home gives you total control over the quality of ingredients and handling. Nothing better.
I always loved making homemade treats for our dog back when he was still alive. He always got so excited when I made treats for him 🙂
I think they know that we are loving on them. Sorry for your loss.
I know bone broth is good for us, never thought to make some for our dog too! This is great.
🙂 Yup. This recipe you can share.
I have been giving a little more love to my dogs in the options I provide for their meals. I will have to make them some broth, as well.
🙂 I love hearing that. Bone broth is so healthy and pretty easy to make. I’m sure they will enjoy it.
