Benefits of Bone Broth Dog Treats

Nutrition Booster:
Bone broth is such a great ingredient to include when making dog biscuits because it provides many nutritional benefits, providing minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.

One standout benefit comes from collagen which supports healthy joints, something that is especially helpful for a dog's mobility as they age.

Hydration:
Bone broth helps keep dogs hydrated. Incorporating it into treats can be particularly advantageous for the nutrition it provides.

Flavor:
Dogs have a natural attraction to rich, meaty flavors. Bone broth elevates the taste of treats, making them more appealing and enjoyable for pets.

Health Support:
When a pet is lacking his usual appetite due to illness or after a medical procedure, broth provides an excellent source of nourishing hydration other than water, that may encourage him to drink. It works kinda like chicken soup for dogs!

Broth is gentle on the digestion, and while homemade is the ideal,  prepared bone broths for dogs are available in beef, chicken, and turkey flavors so you can keep some on hand. Look for ones without added salt.

It's important to make sure you purchase one made for dogs, because the human variety is likely to have additional ingredients unsafe for dogs, such any of the allium family which includes onions and garlic.

While there may be some debate about the safet of those ingredients, recent credible studies have cautioned about their use in pet food. So why risk it.

Allergies:
If your pet has allergies or sensitive digestion, bone broth treats made with ingredients you know he can handle, and approved by your vet, may be just the ticket.

You then can have the pleasure of making him something he can enjoy once in a while without any bad reactions. It's also a fun way to pamper your pooch while deepening the bond between you and your pet.

So let's get busy and make some of these tasty bone broth dog treats.

Recipe Notes

  • While the recipe calls for beef bone broth, chicken bone broth or turkey can be substituted. Organic is best.
  • If your broth has salt, omit this ingredient in recipe.
  • The recommended amount of bone broth dogs can consume on a daily basis is 1 ounce per 10  pounds of body weight. If you don't use up the broth in a week, put it in ice cube trays and freeze.
  • Each ice cube tray amount is about the equivalent of one ounce, and is a very convenient way to have it available anytime you need it.
  • This recipe is for very small "training" size treats, but the dough can also be rolled out and cut into larger treats in any fun shape you like - perhaps "bone" shape goes well with this recipe!
  • If you do make larger treats, adjust your baking time. You won't over-bake if you just watch them until the treats become golden brown and feel firmer to the touch.  If you want them crisper, just leave in the turned off oven until they are thoroughly cool.
  • The amount of treats will vary according to the size you select.  You can also freeze some of the dough to bake up later.
  • Bone broth dog treats are intended for the occasional treat or used sparingly for training.
