Ready to don your chef's hat? There's a world of bone broths waiting for you - from chicken, beef, fish, to even powder-based varieties. These are not just for you, but also for your fluffy friends!
​
Creating a classic broth recipe is easy. You just need bones, fat, acid/vinegar, water, meat, and vegetables. Want to make the most out of your broth? A dash of raw apple cider vinegar or lemon juice will help you extract minerals from the bones effectively.
​
So, get adventurous in the kitchen and give yourself and your dog's health a boost with a warm bowl of bone broth.
​
Here's a quick rundown on how to make bone broth for your pets and yourself:
​
-
Place bones in a large stock pot or slow cooker, cover with water, and add two tablespoons of acid/apple cider vinegar. Tip: I use my slow cooker and place it outside for 24 hours as the smell is strong and can take over your entire house.
-
Fill the pot with water, leaving room for boiling.
-
Cook slow and low for 24 hours for chicken bones, and 48 hours for beef bones.
-
Add a cup of vegetables for extra nutrients. (Try red cabbage, garlic, carrot, Brussel sprouts, shitake mushrooms, turmeric, ginger, parsley)
-
After cooking, strain the liquid to remove all the bones and cool. I place it in the fridge overnight so the layer of fat will harden on top. Discard this layer before serving.
-
Store your broth in the fridge for up to four days, or freeze for later use.
How to give to your dog:
-
Scrap fat off the top
-
Mix the bone broth into your dog’s food as is, no need to heat up unless you want to
