The benefits of bone broth

16/1/2020

As our Siddy gets older (he will be 20 in March), he is fussier about food and it's tricky to predict what he'll eat from one day to the next. Adding a little bone broth to his food seems to make everything irresistible as well as being so good for his health. With Perro's multiple knee surgeries and Gracie's recent serious health scare, we are going through bone broth at a faster rate than usual in our house! Luckily it is very easy & cheap to make using a slow cooker (ideally) and plenty of patience. 

The health benefits of bone broth include:
  • helping the liver to detox (particularly important for dogs eating processed foods &/or those that are chemically treated for ticks/worms)
  • a great source of gelatin, glucosamine & chondroitin, essential for aging joints, early neutered dogs and large breeds
  • a fantastic nutritional boost for dogs recovering from illness/upset tummies
  • maintenance of good general gut health 

Here is a good recipe to follow - be sure to consider the recommended additions such as kale and nettles. If you're short on time or patience, or simply want to try some before making it yourself, Jo from Archie's Bonbons makes & sells it fresh frozen in individual bone shaped portions (which makes life very easy!) so just message me for her phone number or you can pick it up from Happy Dogs Aigle. Happy broth-ing!
