That was really helpful. I've tried many times to make bonebroth, but I don't think I used enough vinegar. I will say, though, that I take out the carrots, freeze them in a single layer on a silpat lined cookie sheet, and then give them as treats for my dogs. They're especially nice in hot weather. They don't make a mess on the floor, unlike a liquid popsicle or ice cube. So, I get two in one.

Thanks for sharing! Can I use a pressure cooker instead of slow cooker? If so, how long should I cook for?

[@dogslounge]

Yes, you can use a pressure cooker too! Cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4.5 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. After that time allow for the pressure to release naturally and check the bones - if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them, it means you've cooked it long enough. If not, add an extra 30 minutes of cooking time. Hope it helps!

I love how the big dog is very interested in getting some of the bone broth. 😁

[@dogslounge]

Benji loves the broth! Can’t wait for it to be cold enough to drink 😅

Thank you for this video!!!! Question: what bones are safe for dogs? The WARNING at the end confused me…. 🙏🏼

[@pw6896]

Any NON-COOKED bone ( raw bone ). Of appropriate size for your dog. Cooked bones can chip and/or splinter. My pups get raw chicken paws (feet) every night with dinner, sometimes, chicken, duck, goose, turkey neck. Doesn't matter if it's poultry, beef, or pork bones, as long as they are RAW.

[@dogslounge]

Raw bones appropriate for your dog’s size - you wouldn’t give a lamb spine and ribs to a chihuahua but a chicken wing tip would be good. Also, we’d advise against feeding weight bearing bones as these are denser and can cause damage especially for heavy chewers. Hope it helps!

Do u have to use apple vinegar

[@dogslounge]

Hi Joe, no, you don't have to use apple cider vinegar. However, it helps pull all the minerals and nutrients out of the bones and into the broth, hence why it's recommended. Broth made without ACV will not be as thick or nutritious because the acidity found in ACV breaks down the collagen and makes it more abundant in the broth. We hope this helps!

[@joehannigan5280]

@@dogslounge OK thanks for letting me know

[@bitastee1]

When I unthaw a cube of bone broth and it is gelatin should I add some water to it or just mix it in his kibble at feeding time…

[@dogslounge]

Yes, you can just mix it in with kibble without adding extra water. It should cover the kibble nicely :)

[@ronelyrodriguez5120]

I'm using chicken feet instead for bone broth for my Dog.

[@dogslounge]

You can use various bones to make broth and chicken feet are about 70% collagen, so great choice!

Gross 🤮

[@patnewson6908]

What about just feeding bones to. dogs - they can digest bones!

[@dogslounge]

Yes, you can feed bones to your dog. However, please remember not all bones are safe. For example, weight-bearing, cooked or smoked bones should never be fed because they can splinter and cause damage to your dog's oesophagus, stomach, and intestines. Dogs possess a highly acidic environment in their stomachs that aids in breaking down bones. This acidity is even more pronounced in raw-fed dogs compared to those fed with kibble, enabling them to digest bones swiftly and effectively. So if your pup is on kibble, start with softer bones, like chicken necks. This will allow their body to adjust acidity levels to break down the bone. Some bones are only meant for chewing, not digesting. These are called recreational bones and include knuckles or necks. Once the bone has been picked clean of all meat, remove it and discard it. Or make broth! This way all the nutrients found in bones can be extracted, and your pup will benefit from them even after they're finished with the meat. Giving too much bone to your dog can cause them to strain and their poops to be harder and more crumbly - this means your pet has consumed a lot of calcium/bone, so if you notice your pup straining, that may be why. Please always supervise your dog if you give them bones.
