Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 lbs of raw bones (chicken feet, beef marrow bones, turkey necks, or a mix)
- 1–2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 10–12 cups of filtered water
- Optional: A small handful of chopped parsley or celery
- Optional: 1/2 tsp turmeric + a dash of black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the raw bones to remove any residual blood or debris.
- Place bones in a large stockpot or slow cooker.
- Add apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals from the bones.
- Pour in filtered water until the bones are covered by 1–2 inches.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a very low simmer.
- Simmer for 12–24 hours (for poultry bones) or 24–48 hours (for beef/lamb bones).
- In the last 30 minutes, add optional herbs or dog-safe extras.
- Strain the broth carefully using a mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- Let cool, skim off excess fat if desired, and store in jars or freeze in silicone molds.
Notes
- Never add onions, garlic, or salt—they’re toxic to dogs.
- Use bones from organic or grass-fed animals for best results.
- Freeze in small portions for easy serving.
- Let broth cool before serving to your dog.
- Introduce slowly to dogs with sensitive stomachs.
