Bone broth for dogs is a great source of collagen, glucosamine, protein, and amino acids like glycine. All of which contribute to your pups living a long and happy life. Specifically, collagen can improve your dog's mobility, skin, coat, and digestion. Glucosamine can improve joint health and help slow the progress of arthritis. Finally, protein and glycine build your dogs muscular strength and prevent the breakdown of muscular tissue.

Bone broth can also be helpful for dogs with digestion issues or upset stomachs. First, it provides great hydration and second, it it can get your dogs gastrointestinal tract working properly following a sickness.

Ingredients for beef bone broth for dogs, including beef marrow bones, celery, carrots, and rosemary.
  • Beef bone marrow bones - Beef bone marrow is rich in calcium and protein. It also provides the rich flavor that will make your dogs excited.
  • Carrots - Besides the health benefits, carrots add a hint of sweetness to the broth.

Instructions

Ingredients for dog bone broth in a Staub Cocotte.
Ingredients for bone broth in a large pot.
  1. Add water to a pot - Add water to a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add bones, vegetables, and herbs - Add beef bones, carrots, celery, and rosemary to the water.
  3. Bring to boil - Bring the ingredients to a boil, then lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer.
  4. Slow cook - Allow the soup to simmer with the lid on for 9 hours. The soup will turn golden and will have a thick consistency. Remove the bone marrow from the bones and mix in the soup. Then, remove the bones and rosemary stems before serving.
  5. Serve - Remove the lid and allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Serve in bowls and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers.

Hint: Be sure to simmer and not boil the broth for the entire cook time. If you boil the soup, it will burn off the liquid. Slow cooking slowly draws out the flavors from the marrow.

FAQ

Can my dog chew the leftover bones?

NO, do not give your dog the bones that were in the soup. Cooked bones splinter and can seriously injure your dog.

Can I serve this with kibble?

Yes! You can add beef bone broth to a bowl of kibble. We recommend reducing the amount of kibble so you don't overfeed your pup. The broth also softens kibble, which helps your dog digest the meal easier.

Can I use other types of bones?

Yes, you can use other beef bones, chicken bones, turkey bones, or a mix of all of them. Be sure to strain the broth so ensure it doesn't have any cartilage or small bits of bone since poultry bones are more brittle than beef bones.

Can I serve the soup hot?

We recommend serving the soup warm, but not hot. Hot soup can burn your dog. Wait until the soup cools before serving.

How do I freeze bone broth?

Place the bone broth in a resealable bag and gently press out the air. Seal the bag and lay it flat in your freezer. You can also store the soup in a lidded freezer tray and pop out a serving to warm when ready to use.

Substitutions

  • Carrots - Use rainbow carrots or baby carrots instead of regular carrots.
  • Vegetarian - Omit bones and just use dog-friendly vegetables or vegetable scraps to create a delicious broth.
  • Chicken or turkey bones - Use chicken or turkey bones instead of beef bones. If you make chicken bone broth, just be sure to only serve your dog the broth and vegetables and not the bones. Cooked bones can be a dangerous choking hazard for dogs.

Variations

  • More vegetables - While this bone broth contains nutrient rich vegetables, you can always add more. More dog-friendly vegetables include sweet potatoes, celery, pumpkin, zucchini, green beans, and chopped spinach. Each of these will help to further support your dogs immune system.
  • Frozen pupcicles - Freeze the broth in small ice cube trays and serve them frozen bone broth treats in the summertime to stay cool.
  • Apple cider vinegar - Raw apple cider vinegar is believed to improve digestion, relieve allergy symptoms, and fight yeast infections in dogs. However, it can only be given in small doses so we recommend only adding ¼ cup apple cider vinegar to the broth. If you do choose to add it, use organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar.

Equipment

Making bone broth recipe requires a few kitchen essentials used for many other common recipes. To make this recipe, you will need a knife, cutting board; large dutch oven, large soup pot, slow cooker or instant pot; ladle, and dog bowls. We love these insulated dog bowls that keep the soup warm, and these lidded freezer trays to freeze leftovers.

Storage

Store this dog bone broth in its pot or in a container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Allow the dog food to reach room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. Freeze the bone broth up to 3 months in an air-tight container, like this reusable silicone freezing tray, or storage bag. When its time for your dog's dinner, heat 1 serving from the tray over low heat. Then allow it to cool before adding it to your dog's kibble.

Top tips

  • Look in the frozen section or ask your butcher for beef bones to make bone broth.
  • Don't give your dogs cooked bones. They can splinter or break, and be very dangerous to ingest.
  • Add bone broth to your dogs meal. Bone broth is not a meal replacement. Add it on top of your dogs' kibble or protein and vegetables.
