Bone broth is an amazing, healing powerhouse of nutrients. It is made by slow cooking animal bones and connective tissue, all largely made up of collagen. Bone broth can be used to fill nutritional gaps in your pet’s diet, build gut health, deal with sensitive digestive systems and more....

 

It is rich in chondroitin, glucosamine, amino acids and minerals. When in a liquid form, these are absorbed rapidly, and are healing to the gut lining whilst also providing minerals for other body tissues. 

1. Bone broth contains glycosaminoglycans, a key one being glucosamine! It's perfect for building joints, healing cartilage and improving ligament strength. It can also be added to meals for dogs suffering arthritis, to help provide an easily utilised glucosamine supplement. 

2. Bone broth contains many nutrients that help with your dog's digestion. It's a great tonic for dogs who have experienced dianreah, have had surgery or have. A sick, or convalescing dog can benefit from bone broth, as a gentle and easily absorbed meal, requiring little digestion. It's the doggy version of chicken soup!

3. When we expose our pets to additional chemicals through anti-parasytic treatments, garden chemicals, household cleaning products and processed foods, the liver has to deal with these. Traditionally, bone broth was used to help detoxify the liver & kidneys due to the glycine content. 

4. Bone broth is good for the general immune system. 

5. It's a natural, wholefood supplement with readily available nutrients. It is ideal for fussy eaters, introducing a new diet or when your pet isn't well. 

Bone broth - the perfect health tonic for pets!
