A nourishing cup of this bone broth recipe for dogs might be the secret to your dog’s optimal health! It's easy, but important to follow the directions carefully because preparing broth for dogs is different than for humans. Feed as a snack or meal topper and watch their coat shine.
Add the ingredients to a large stock pot. Cover them with approximately 3 quarts of water and bring it to a boil.
Then, lower the heat to a simmer and maintain that for 12 hours or overnight. Skim off any foam or impurities that may rise during cooking.
Remove the pot from heat and let the liquid cool enough to handle. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve and discard the cooked ingredients.
To make endless broth: Return the cooked bones to the pot and add an additional 1-2 pounds of fresh meaty bones. Begin the process again from step 1. Repeat this process over and over again as long as you want. You'll see when the bones are done; there marrow will be gone and the porous parts will have disintegrated. Keep the cycle going by tossing the old bones and replacing with fresh meaty ones until you've made enough broth.
