Read time: 3 minutes

Explore the Collagen-Rich Bowl Booster

In recent years, pet parents have become more aware and focused on providing their dogs with the best nutrition. With more products on the market, from complete diets to treats and supplements, bone broth stands out. For good reason!

But what is a bone broth, and how can it help your dog? Let’s look at why this simple addition belongs in your dog’s bowl.

A better bowl starts here

Bone broth is a nourishing, nutrient-rich food topper. It is made by gently simmering animal bones and connective tissues along with vegetables and superfoods such as carrots, celery and turmeric in water for several hours. This lets natural minerals, nutrients and antioxidants seep into the liquid. The result is a flavourful, meaty broth packed with glucosamine, collagen, and glycine. 

While similar to the broths we enjoy, dog-friendly versions have no added herbs or spices. They also avoid garlic and onions, which can harm dogs. Instead, they offer a safe and nourishing boost that dogs not only benefit from, but absolutely love.

What are the Benefits of a Bone Broth? 

Feeding your dog bone broths offers several noticeable health benefits:

  • Joint Health

Bone broths supports and strengthens joints thanks to its natural richness in glucosamine, chondroitin and collagen. Great for working and active dogs, and for seniors or dogs with limited mobility who need extra TLC.

  • Digestive & Gut Health

Bone broth is rich in amino acids that help reduce inflammation. It also has gelatin that helps repair the gut lining. This may help dogs with sensitive stomachs or food sensitivities.

  • Immunity Boost

Nutrient-dense and rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients support the nervous system and heart function.

  • Skin & Coat Condition

Collagen in bone broths helps maintain the skin’s elasticity, reduce dryness and promote a shinier, thicker coat. As dogs age, their collagen levels naturally decline so bone broth is a great diet addition to help them produce more collagen.

  • Hydration

A highly hydrating and nutritious addition to every bowl. It encourages water intake, especially for reluctant drinkers. It also helps with a hydration top-up in warm conditions. You can also freeze bone broths on a lick mat or in molds to make a cool, tempting treat.

  • Fussy-Friendly

A natural palatability aid for fussy eaters. It helps boost appetite and encourages eating after a recent illness. 

How to use bone broths

Feeding bone broths are simple. You can pour it directly over food and adjust the amount to suit your dog’s taste and nutrition needs.
