All About Broth

Why Bone Broth? 🥣

Bone broth isn't just for humans—our furry friends can benefit greatly from it too! Here are some reasons why you might want to consider adding this nutritious treat to their diet:

1. Joint Health 🦴 - Bone broth is rich in glucosamine and chondroitin, which can help support joint health and mobility, especially in older pets.
2. Gut Health 💪 - The gelatin in bone broth helps to protect and heal the lining of the digestive tract, making it great for pets with sensitive stomachs.
3. Hydration 💧 - It's a tasty way to keep your pets hydrated, especially if they're not big fans of drinking plain water.
4. Appetite Booster 🍲 - If your pet is a picky eater, a little bone broth can make their meals more appealing.
5. Nutrient-Rich 🌟 - Packed with vitamins and minerals, bone broth is a nutritious addition to your pet's diet which boosts the immune system.

Making Your Own Bone Broth 🥄

Want to make your own bone broth at home? It's simple! Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
- Simmer bones in water with Apple Cider Vinegar ACV with the Mother (this is a must as it helps to extract the nutrients from the bones) for 24-48 hours. I like to use my slow cooker when I do it!
- Skim off any fat that rises to the top if you want to.
- Let it cool before serving it to your pets.

We sell everything you would need! Ribs, marrow bones, chicken feet, duck feet, etc etc moulds and ACV!

I hope you've enjoyed reading about the benefits of bone broth for your furry friends! 🐾

Remember you can always consult with your vet before making any changes to your pet's diet. Happy broth-ing! 🥳

Scientific Studies Supporting Bone Broth Benefits

Recent studies have shown promising results regarding the benefits of bone broth for both humans and animals. For instance, a study published in the Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences found that chicken bones gently boiled for three hours produced bone broth with more amino acids and better flavor than stock simmered for shorter periods. Another study in 2021 showed that bone broth has anti-inflammatory properties that can decrease symptoms of ulcerative colitis in mice.

A recent study conducted by Boil and Broth, in collaboration with Biome4Pets and Aberystwyth University, revealed bone broth’s potential as a powerful prebiotic food for dogs. Over a 4-week period, the study demonstrated remarkable improvements in gut microbiome diversity, highlighting bone broth’s ability to foster beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful bacterial populations. The study found that bone broth supplementation significantly increased levels of Bifidobacterium, a key beneficial bacteria, by an astounding 1562.86%.

How to Serve & Store Bone Broth? 🍽
