Bone broth isn't just an old secret in human nutrition – it also has incredible benefits for our dogs! Whether for joint support, for a healthy gut flora, or as an immune booster – this nutrient-rich broth is a true superfood. And the best part? It's versatile and loved by almost every dog.

What is bone broth?

Bone broth is made by boiling bones for a long time. During this process, valuable nutrients such as collagen, gelatin, glucosamine, and minerals dissolve from the bones and enter the broth. Bones from beef, chicken, lamb, or other animals can be used – depending on your dog's taste preferences and tolerance.

Why is bone broth so healthy?

The ingredients in bone broth have numerous positive effects:

✔ Strong joints & healthy bones – Collagen and glucosamine support tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, ideal for older dogs or those with arthritis.
✔ Intestinal health – Gelatin helps regenerate the intestinal lining and can relieve digestive problems.
✔ Natural immune booster – The minerals and amino acids it contains strengthen the immune system and help your dog stay healthy.
✔ Anti-inflammatory & regenerative – Glycine and arginine have anti-inflammatory effects and support the healing of injuries or illnesses.
✔ More flavor & better nutrient absorption – The broth makes food (including fruits and vegetables) more palatable and promotes water intake.

How do I give bone broth to my dog?

Bone broth can be mixed with water or served as an addition to food. It is particularly suitable for:

• Dogs with joint problems or arthritis
• Animals with sensitive stomachs or digestive problems
• Seniors who benefit from an extra portion of nutrients
• Food fussy dogs who struggle with vegetables and other foods
• Dogs with a poor appetite or in recovery
• Cold-blooded dogs as a warming snack in winter

Tip: In summer, bone broth can be frozen in small portions and served as a refreshing dog ice cream!

Dog Dosage – How Much Bone Broth Is Ideal?

Introduce slowly! It's best to start with small amounts and observe how your four-legged friend reacts.
