Description
Simple recipe for making gelatin-based bone broth treats for dogs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups beef or chicken bone broth (low sodium)
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for mold release)
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of the bone broth into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold broth and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil the mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 3 cups of cold bone broth.
- If using, lightly grease silicone molds or a small baking dish with coconut oil.
- Pour the liquid mixture into your chosen molds or dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
- Once set, cut the mixture into small bone shapes or cubes.
- Store the gummy bones in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Use broth made without onions or garlic, as these are toxic to dogs.
- Adjust the amount of gelatin slightly if you prefer a firmer or softer treat.
- For a different texture, pour into an ice cube tray.
