If you’re anything like me, you want every single thing that goes into your dog’s body to be top-notch, natural, and beneficial, right? Dealing with minor urinary worries for my little Buster always worried me, so I started playing around in the kitchen looking for the best supportive treats. That quest led me straight to these incredibly simple, homemade Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs. Seriously, they’re a lifesaver! Bone broth is fantastic—it’s full of those good joint and gut things—and cranberry has long been known to help keep things running smoothly in the plumbing department. I trust these ingredients because I control everything. No weird fillers, stabilizers, or mystery meats in this recipe. I’ve been making these for months now, and Buster practically begs for his daily dose!

Why You Need These Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Let’s be honest, finding healthy supplements that our dogs actually *want* to eat can feel like winning the lottery. These little gems solve that problem instantly! They taste great, and they pack a serious wellness punch. I feel so much better knowing I’m proactively supporting Buster’s bladder health naturally.

If you’re on the fence, here’s why I absolutely insist you whip up a batch:

They offer focused urinary health support thanks to the natural cranberry goodness.
Your pup will think they are getting candy—the honey makes them irresistible!
Because you make them, you avoid mystery ingredients found in so many store-bought dog supplements.
The bone broth adds essential minerals that support overall vitality.

It’s truly the easiest way to stay ahead of common canine wellness issues. Trust me on this one; your dog will thank you!

Gathering Ingredients for Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Alright, the absolute best part about these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs is that they use ingredients I practically keep stocked at all times anyway! You don’t need a fancy grocery haul for this. But, since we are making them for health support, quality really does matter, even in a simple treat.

We need the cranberry component, which is the superstar for urinary help. Make sure you grab 1 cup of Cranberry Puree, and listen closely—you must ensure it has absolutely no added xylitol or sugar. Xylitol will send you straight to the emergency vet, so read those labels twice!

Next up is the base: 1/2 cup of Beef Bone Broth. I always use beef, but chicken works in a pinch, just make sure it’s high-quality and extremely low-sodium. We want those minerals, not extra salt. Then, we have 1/4 cup of Gelatin Powder—it has to be unflavored, of course. This is what turns the liquid into a gummy; without it, you just have cranberry soup! Finally, just a touch of honey for palatability and some coconut oil for extra goodness.

Ingredient Specifications and Substitutions for Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Let’s talk roles here! The cranberry is obviously doing the heavy lifting for urinary function, but bone broth offers incredible nutrients that support the whole system, including digestion and joints. If you only have chicken broth on hand, swap it out—it’s fine, though I stick to beef because I think it tastes richer in the final gummy.

If your dog is super sensitive to honey, you can skip it entirely, but the gummies might be a little tart. The gelatin is non-negotiable for texture; if you use collagen peptides instead of gelatin, these treats might not set firm enough, so stick to gelatin for these wonderful homemade dog treats!

I also highly recommend the optional cinnamon—it adds warmth, and dogs usually love the smell of it!

Equipment Needed to Make Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

You won’t need your stand mixer or fancy candy thermometer for this one, thank goodness! Making these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs is super straightforward concerning tools. A small saucepan is the main thing, just big enough to warm up your liquid base without overcrowding it.

You’ll definitely want a good whisk—the gelatin needs to be introduced gently and mixed thoroughly so you don’t end up with little gelatin rocks floating around in your mix! That’s a rookie mistake, trust me. And the star of the show? Silicone molds! These are crucial because trying to cut these into squares usually ends in a sticky, orange mess that you can’t serve the pup.

Grab a measuring cup, a spatula for scraping down the sides, and you are good to go! Quick cleanup is always a bonus when making dog treats.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Okay, this is where the magic happens! Making these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs is so fast—the longest part is waiting for them to chill and set up, which is perfect because my dogs have zero patience. We are combining five ingredients (plus optional cinnamon) into the perfect, chewy little nuggets. Get your small saucepan and whisk ready!

First, measure everything out—get that lovely cranberry puree, the cooled bone broth, your honey, and the melted coconut oil all poured into the saucepan. We are going to gently warm this up over low heat. This is super important: you just want it warm enough to get everything incorporated, so watch it like a hawk. You absolutely must stir constantly and under no circumstances should you let the mixture boil. Boiling can mess with the effectiveness of the broth, and we certainly don’t want that.

Once it’s warm, it’s gelatin time! Slowly whisk in that required 1/4 cup of gelatin powder, dumping it in too fast is how you get those awful lumps that never dissolve. Whisk, whisk, whisk until everything is completely smooth. If you are using that optional cinnamon, stir it in right here. Now, carefully pour this liquid into your silicone molds. If you see any big foamy bubbles sitting on top, you can pop those with the tip of a toothpick—this helps make the final gummies look nice and shiny, like the store-bought ones.

The final part is the hardest: the waiting game! Pop those molds into the refrigerator, and seriously, don’t touch them for at least four hours. They need a solid chill to get that perfect, firm, chewy texture that makes these such great dog treats. Once they are rock solid, they pop right out, and you’ve done it!

Tips for Perfect Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs Texture

Achieving that perfect chew is all about the temperature control, my friends. Remember when I said the broth needs to be cooled slightly? If the broth is too hot when you add the gelatin, it can “bloom” too quickly and clump up, leading to an uneven set later on. You want it warm enough to dissolve the powder easily, but not scalding!

Also, if you are having trouble getting them to set up (and they are taking way longer than four hours), it usually means you didn’t quite dissolve all your gelatin, or maybe your broth/puree ratio was slightly off. Don’t panic; just try gently reheating the whole batch and whisking in just a tiny bit more gelatin powder before pouring them back in to chill. They’ll firm up!

Serving and Storage of Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Now that you’ve made these amazing Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs, you need to know how to dole them out responsibly. We aren’t trying to replace dinner here, right? Based on my experience with Buster, I give him one gummy in the morning and one in the evening—so two a day total—but that depends on your pup’s size. Always use your best judgment, but the general rule is one to two gummy treats daily.

Storage is super simple because these treats are packed with good stuff and moisture. You want to keep them in an airtight container snug in the refrigerator. They’ll last beautifully for about a week, maybe ten days if you keep them really cold and don’t open the container too often!

One last thing: If, for some reason, your dog turns up his nose at the texture—maybe it’s a little too firm for his liking, which can happen—don’t toss them! Just take the required serving size, pop them into a small blender or food processor with just a little spoonful of plain yogurt, and whiz it up. It turns into a sort of thick, healthy sauce they can lick right off a spoon. It’s a great backup idea. These are truly the best dog treats because they are so versatile!

Troubleshooting Common Issues with Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Even in the simplest recipes, sometimes things just need a little nudge, you know? Don’t stress if your Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs don’t come out perfectly gummy the first time around. It happens to the best of us! The most common hiccup I hear about is the gummies not setting up hard enough.

If they are still super jiggly after that full four hours in the fridge, it usually means one of two things: either your gelatin measurement wasn’t exact, or the liquid base was too hot when you added it in. If they are just slightly soft, try popping them back in for another hour. If they won’t firm up at all, you’ll need to gently reheat the entire batch, whisk in just a smidge more gelatin powder, and pour it back into the molds.

Another small issue is separation, where the coconut oil or honey seems to be pooling. That just means you didn’t whisk quite enough when the mixture was warm. If you catch it early, just warm it up again and whisk vigorously! These little issues are totally normal when moving away from store-bought processed products.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

I get so many great questions about these little power-packed gummies! It’s smart to ask before introducing any new supplement into your dog’s routine, especially when we talk about focused canine health support. Here are the things I hear most often when people are getting ready to make these dog treats.

Are these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs safe for puppies?

That’s a really important question! While the ingredients themselves—cranberry, broth, gelatin—are natural, I generally advise against giving these to very young puppies, usually under six months old. Their digestive systems are super sensitive, and anything concentrated, even natural things, can sometimes cause tummy upset. If you do have a slightly older puppy, say over six months, start them off slow—just half a gummy once a day for a few days so you can monitor how they handle it before moving up to the full recommended dose!

How long do these homemade dog treats last?

Since this recipe doesn’t have artificial preservatives, we rely on the cold! You must store these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs in a completely airtight container in the refrigerator. I’ve found they stay perfectly firm and fresh for about seven to ten days. Honestly, they usually disappear before then because my dog loves them so much! If you wanted to make a huge batch, you certainly could freeze them, but you’d need to pop them into the fridge the night before you plan to serve them so they thaw back to their chewy state.

If you’re worried about spoilage, just look for any signs of mold or off-smells before serving. Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to our best buddies!

Estimated Nutritional Data for Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs

Listen, I’m the first person to tell you that when you’re making food at home, especially for your furry family members, the nutritional labels aren’t going to be as precise as the store-bought vitamins. You know? We are dealing with natural ingredients scooped by hand, so these numbers are always going to be an estimate!

That said, when making these Cranberry Bone Broth Urinary Support Gummies for Dogs—and using the exact measurements from the recipe—I always calculate them out just to be sure we aren’t overloading on anything unnecessary. Since we are focusing on a supportive treat and not a meal replacement, keeping things light is key!

Based on the recipe, here is what I calculate you’re looking at for just one of those perfect little gummies. Remember, my goal was low fat and maximum good stuff, like the cranberry and bone broth proteins:

Calories: Approximately 15 per gummy
Protein: About 1 gram
Fat: Roughly 0.5 grams
Carbohydrates: Around 2 grams

See? Low impact, high benefit! The energy they get from these little bursts of flavor is great for training or as a midday reward. Keep in mind these numbers are based on standard, unsweetened cranberry puree and low-sodium beef broth, so if you make big substitutions, you’ll need to re-run the math. I’m still obsessed with how healthy these are compared to anything you’d buy off the shelf.
