How to cook bone broth for dogs?

Ingredients

Bones - 2 cups (500grams)

Water - 6 quarts
Vinegar - ¼ cup
Ginger garlic paste - 2 table spoons
Salt to taste

Cooking process 👨‍🍳

Step 1:

Add Bones 🍖🦴

Fill the crockpot with lots of bones. We can use bones with a lot of joints in them like chicken feet. You can replace crockpot with old pot incase you dont have it as you need to cook overnight. So I prefer the crockpot. You can add ginger garlic paste and salt to add flavour.

Step 2:

Add Water And Vinegar 🌊💦

Next fill the pot with water so the bones are completely covered.

Adding raw apple cider vinegar does a miracle to the bone broth. As it holds a healthy gelatin of your broth.

So add 3–4 tablespoons of vinegar in the pot

Step 3:

Cooking 🥘

Place the pot n the gas stove and keep the flame on high for an hour . Then turn it down and leave it cooking for 24 hours.

Step 4:

Strain The Bones 🦴

After cooking for 24 hours you will find the jelly substance floating. You need to strain the bones out and feed the broth. Those bones are of no use as the nutrients are present in the broth which is extracted from the bones.

Step 5:

Let It Cool ❄️

Once my broth is cooled to the rrom temperature, place it in the fridge for few hours. LAter when you see the broth, you will find the hard layer of fat on the top. Take it off and throw it in the dust bin. Now you could see the jelly like substances. It is a gelatin which is very helpful for dog’s.

Step 6:

Give It To Your Dog! 🐕🐾

The final step is to feed the bone broth to your dog!

This step is loved by all who loves their dog. When you show love to them they will never forget. and they will also be very affectionate with you. They will be smelling around you when you cook for them. They just cant wait to just attack on the food that you are preparing for them.

So there you go. It’s incredibly easy to make bone broth and your dogs will love the taste and reap the health benefits.

Enjoy cooking. Pour love to your dog.

How to store bone broth: 🍱

Keep the bone broth in a tight container and store it in the fridge.

You can store the container in the fridge for up to 1 week, and you can freeze it for up to 6 months. Before using the bone broth please scrap a layer of fat formed due to chillness.
