How to Make the Ultimate Homemade Bone Broth for Your Dog or Cat

[@peg5335]

Your videos about dog food and nutrition are excellent. This recipe is very easy and my dog LOVES it!

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

That’s great news!! Thanks for watching!

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

For sure! Adding it to every meal is using it like a supplement. Also works well on its own if your dog isn’t felling well, or has stomach problems. Thanks for watching!

[@smoshcom100]

1 tip is to add the fish the last hour or two before you finish the bone broth as fish stock only takes 1 hour to make.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Great tip. Thanks for watching!

[@lindakreutzer6289]

You could also these ingredients added to bottom pot: 1 carrot cut, 3 shitake mushrooms, 1 celery cut, 4 pc broccoli, 3-4 peppercorns, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 bay leaf, 1 sprig rosemary and 1 small kale and put your bones, carcass and the head, and water to cover it and then vinegar.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Yes, you can add what you prefer, but I do not add spices or herbs. This bone broth is for my dogs. Thanks for watching!

[@lindakreutzer6289]

​@@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115 ... oh okay, I do for my dog (for hip dysplasia). I will try to add the fish head the next time. I am unable (easily) to find in my area.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I freeze bone broth in ice cube trays and add one to each meal. They like the cold crunch and then I know they got the nutrients and a little extra fluid. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

That’s a great way to preserve it for longer and portion it out! Thanks for watching!!

[@stephanievaladez5286]

I was also thinking about doing this too.

[@tlpricescope7772]

I’ve been making bone broth for years. I use an instant pot high pressure cooker. I pressure cook the bones for one hour and then leave it on the warm setting for at least overnight. I use high cartilage bones like tendons and cow feet, but adding chicken, pork and fish are a great idea. Just avoid high mercury fish.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

That’s great advice! Thanks for watching!

[@marktechsci]

I did it Saturday. Marrow bones are easy to find. I couldn’t find a salmon head so used a pound of salmon collard for 5 bucks. I also, for the first time, purchased and cut a whole chicken which was quite easy (and delicious for us). The rest was pretty easy. Thanks again. Def Subscribed.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

That’s great to hear! I hope your dog loved it. Thanks for the kind words of support and for watching! Merry Christmas!

[@juliedesalvo2475]

Awesome 👍. I've made bone broth for years for myself as a nutritional supplement. I've fed it to our cats ( they're on a raw diet ). I never thought to blend the soft tissue into the mixture as pet food. Our cat will be super happy to get the addition. Our new pup will be super charged. I used to give the cooked down cartilage and soft tissue to our chickens but I guess I'll give it them as a bone broth mixed with stone cut oats. Chickens need the mineral content for optimal health, protein to lay delicious eggs, and fats to keep them warm in winter....of course as a supplement. Thanks for your efforts ✨ BTW, if you're concerned about bad bacteria buildup on the egg shells, bake them in the oven @180°f for a couple of hours before grinding them into a powder. The heat from the baking should kill off any unwanted bacteria.

My dog, a min pin/doxie mix (funny because the min pin is part doxie to begin with) was in so much pain the vet put her on 5 MG of gabapentin 3 times a day. Every morning I was worried I find her deceased. I started giving her bone broth and I am no longer worried. She has a vigor I haven’t ever seen in her. When I adopted her I was told she was 8. Three days after I brought her home, she was screaming. I mean screaming. So loudly when I call the vet they had me bring her in immediately. That’s when she was put on the the gabapentin. She is between 13 and 15. The next visit her gabapentin dose upped. $90 a month. Even though marrow bones are $3.49 a pound, this is much cheaper than the gabapentin. I never thought of putting fish heads in it, but will next time I make it (I have some in the crock pot now) I will try it. The change in her is amazing. I put it in ice cube trays and freeze it. TIP: if you freeze any ice cube and donʼt want them to stick to each other as they are wont to do, put them in a paper bag. Sounds weird but it really works. Really.

Yikes!! The dreaded gabapentin! Our dog has been on it multiple times, or 2 cruciate repairs, and another surgery. He was so out of it, he wouldn’t even walk some days. Once we found bone broth, and other supplements l, we decided never again, will we use gabapentin. We truly thought we’d lose him, but the whole time, it was the gaba, that was making him decline 😢

Hi how much dogs both can i give my dog a day i ve just made a batch of your video it looks great

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

There are a lot of variables to consider, so difficult for me to say. The general rule of thumb is the richer and denser your bone broth, the less you should give. In my case with a healthy, fit, active dog and very dense broth, a couple big table spoons per meal. With a less dense (more soup like density) about a half cup per meal. Hope that helps.

Hi, If I am supplementing for 1 meal out of 2 for my 45 pound adult bully mix, what is the serving recommendation with this broth? She’s not overweight or trying to lose weight 🙂 I would just like to switch her from dry dog food to wet food/ raw diet.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

How much depends on how rich the broth is. If it’s dense like the one I made in this video, then a couple table spoons will do. It’s it’s a light broth, then more. It all depends on what ratio of water to bone/meat/fat used in the process.

SFMC 98 Raw Liver is fine as a treat as long as it’s fresh. Liver treats aren’t really meant for training as they are very rich. Liver treats are ok a couple times a day, but for training you’ll want something that you can give a lot of. Kibble works great or chicken jerky in small pieces.

You could buy a whole chicken, take of the legs, and use in the dog meat take off the breasts and freeze. And use the carcas for your broth. I'm not sure but perhaps chicken wings would serve the same purpose. When I make chicken stock for soup I use chicken wings which gives a lovely thick gelatinous stock.

Can you can the broth in the pressure cooker to make shelf stable?

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

You can seal the jars or cans to help keep them longer as long as they are air tight and sealed. Thanks for watching!

[@christhomas8332]

You can make ice cubes and freeze.

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

@@christhomas8332 For sure! That’s a great way to portion it out as well.

[@patshields3745]

Maybe I missed it, is it freezer friendly?

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

you can store it in the fridge or freezer.

[@sarahbity8060]

Its addressed in the video towards the end.

[@jerlynconner3715]

Can I put this on my 7 week old poodles 3 meals a day? Not yet raw, he has a homemade diet for now. Will transition soon after the homemade is done but want to give him this broth. Also can I make this in my slow cooker on low instead of stove top?

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Yes, you can certainly give this bone broth to puppies. It’s great for dogs of all ages. Thanks for watching!

[@user-fn3sk3io8o]

Can I cook this quicker that 24 hours. I can't stay awake that long 😅

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

You can cook for 12 hours, or just leave it to simmer while you sleep.

[@kaoruM33]

wished you mentioned that cooked bones can splinter & cause problems if consumed, to discourage people who think "I don't care if the bones don't have the nutrients, I'll just give to my dog"...

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Good point. I do go over that in the video, but it should be clear.

[@woodywoodpecker6611]

Oops! Just found your bone broth formula!

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Thanks again woody!

[@karenbuchan1]

bone broth is the remedy for the cause, the tapwater

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Ok, thanks for watching

[@mirandabisnou1307]

You went to sleep and left the stove on????🤔😁🤔

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Belen Alexa Serrat Yes, it’s the same as using a slow cooker. But you can turn it off over night and turn it on in the morning. It’ll just take longer.

[@mirandabisnou1307]

The stray dogs in my country would kill for those bones!!!!🐕😕😔😢🐶

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Belen Alexa Serrat Id give those stray dogs fresh raw bones, not the bones I use for this bone broth.

[@DCUPtoejuice]

24 hours of this stinking up my house is a problem

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

You could always just skip the fish ingredients. That way it will smell like yummy beef stew instead.

[@mischapiru9514]

My God you put bones with other trash?

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Yes, yes I do, but not always. It’s optional

[@ink_b0ttle]

Be careful what fish you use, as some fish contain enough mercury to be harmful to your cat

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Thanks for watching !

[@christinakaladjian442]

Is it the same for dogs?

[@rosemarywalker4675]

Cancel that awful music

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Welcome to KZbin where all decent music gets a copyright claim. Thanks for watching!

I think your recipe is excellent, however,... I know you mentioned that Organic is not necessary, but Organic is always the better choice !!! If Organic is better for humans, it is surely better for animals ! The reason so many animals and people have cancer is because of the carcinogens in the meat supply. The hormones and chemicals they put in the meat is atrocious ! I have a good friend who is a world famous holistic doctor, and he taught me what they put in the meat ! I switched to Organic and never went back ! I love my pets, as they are my family, so I feed them Organic as well. Organic is only a few dollars more, and they are so worth it if you love your pets !!!

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Hi Lisa, I agree, organic is better, but cost prohibitive for most with large or multiple dogs. In an ideal world cost wouldn’t be a factor. Thanks for watching!

[@cdle007]

A few dollars more? I can get an 18 pack eggs for 97 cents on special. Organic eggs on the other hand are like $5 or $6 for an 18 pack. No thanks. You eat the supposed superior organic

[@edwardcuevas5667]

Great video

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SherryChambers-i1k]

Did you blend the chicken carcass?

[@thetorontodogwhispereraka-7115]

I remove all cooked bones first.
