Bone Broth for Dogs

Simple, Nutritious, and Belly-Friendly

Bone broth is one of the easiest ways to boost your dog’s nutrition. It’s gentle on the stomach, packed with collagen and minerals, and great for joint health, hydration, and picky eaters. Whether you pour it over meals, freeze it into treats, or use it to encourage appetite, homemade broth is a simple wellness upgrade your dog will love. 

  • 2–3 lbs, raw or cooked bones (chicken, turkey, beef, or pork)
  • Water – Enough to cover the bones 
  • Carrots, celery, parsley (dogsafe only) 
  • Apple cider vinegar – 1 tbsp (optional)

AVOID: onions, garlic, heavy seasoning, or salty storebought broths.

  1. Place bones in a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or large stockpot and cover with water. 
  2. Add apple cider vinegar to help draw nutrients from the bones. (Optional)
  3. Cook low and slow: 18–24 hrs in a slow cooker, 12–18 hrs on the stovetop, or 2–3 hrs in an Instant Pot. 
  4. Strain thoroughly to remove all bones and fragments. 
  5. Refrigerate until the fat solidifies on top, then skim and discard the fat layer. 
  6. Store broth in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in silicone molds for up to 3 months.
