What is Bone Broth?

Bone broth is a nutrient-rich liquid made by simmering animal bones and connective tissues. The process extracts valuable nutrients, such as collagen, amino acids, and minerals, which are beneficial for both humans and animals. The broth is then cooled, strained, and often used as a base for soups or consumed on its own. For dogs, bone broth can be incorporated into their diet in various forms, including treats. 

Benefits of Bone Broth for Dogs

1. Joint Health - Bone broth is rich in collagen and other compounds like glucosamine and chondroitin, which support joint health. These nutrients help maintain cartilage and connective tissues, potentially reducing the risk of arthritis and other joint-related issues in dogs.

2. Digestive Support - The gelatin found in bone broth aids in digestion by promoting a healthy gut lining. This can be especially beneficial for dogs with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues, as it helps soothe and repair the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Immune System Boost - The minerals and amino acids in bone broth, such as calcium, magnesium, and glycine, support a dog's immune system. A strong immune system can help prevent illnesses and infections, keeping your pet healthier.

4. Hydration - Bone broth is an excellent way to keep dogs hydrated, especially those who are reluctant to drink water. The savory flavor of the broth encourages dogs to consume more liquids, supporting their overall hydration levels.

Bone broth dog treats are a nutritious and tasty way to reward your pet while supporting their health. These treats can be a valuable addition to your dog's diet, promoting joint health, digestion, immune function, and hydration. 

Coconut is an excellent source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can provide a quick energy boost for your dog. MCTs are easily digestible and can improve your dog's metabolism, aiding in weight management. The natural oils found in coconut can help maintain a shiny and healthy coat. These oils can also soothe and moisturize your dog's skin, reducing itchiness and irritation. Regular consumption of coconut may help prevent skin infections and allergies. Coconut has natural anti-inflammatory properties and can support a healthy digestive system. It can help prevent and alleviate digestive issues such as diarrhea and constipation. The fiber content in coconut also promotes regular bowel movements and overall gut health. Coconut contains lauric acid, which has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. This helps strengthen your dog's immune system, making them less susceptible to infections and illnesses. The MCTs in coconut are not only beneficial for physical health but also for cognitive function. They can provide an alternative energy source for brain cells, potentially improving memory and attention in dogs, particularly as they age.

 Using coconut in homemade dog treats is a fantastic way to provide your pet with nutritious and delicious snacks.  We use shredded coconut but coconut oil and coconut flour are both other ways we can add coconut to the treats. With its numerous health benefits, coconut can support your dog's overall well-being, making it a valuable addition to their diet. We suggest that all our homemade treats be consumed within 7 to 10 days. Since they are made with all-natural ingredients, they contain no preservatives or additives to prolong their shelf life. However, they're so tasty that your dog won't hesitate to finish them quickly!
