It's smelling delicious here at the Beagle in Mind kitchen. What's on the stove? Delicious, nutritious bone broth. Once done this healthy pot of goodness can be served up as a broth over your dog's food.
​Warm it up for those chilly days, spoon it over cold to add those extra nutrients during summer or freeze it as fun and healthy ice cube treats for those extra hot days! 

Why your dog should be eating bone broth

Bone broth is an immune booster. That means a happier mor healthy hound. 

It maintains a healthy digestive tract, which means? It's the gelatin that helps with joints and that "plugs the holes" in leaky gut that can cause allergy symptoms.

​
Your dog has creaky joints? Bone broth contains phosphorus, magnesium, silicon, sulphur and calcium. Creaks begone!

So let's review; why should you feed bone broth?
Immune booster
Maintains a healthy gut
Joint protector

Sounds like the perfect supplement huh? And so easy to make!

Tips & info

  • You don't have to add any herbs or veggies to the initial cook (it's a personal preference). You can just add your veg of choice chopped up, after the bones have been strained, into the hot broth.
  • If your bone broth is not jelly like after cooling, don't worry, the health benefits are still there. Next time just add a little more vinegar.
  • The jelly like consistency means you have lots of gelatin in your broth. The more jelly-like, the better.

Recipe:
2kg Beef knuckle bones
500g Cow heels
500g Ostrich knee caps


(Optional: 
200g Celery
200g Carrots
30g Parsley)

1/3 Cup apple cider vinegar
6.75l Water

Place the bones in a heavy/thick based pot (with the carrots, celery and parsley if you choose to use them at this point).
Add enough water to cover the bones and veg, apple cider vinegar and other supplements such as turmeric or rooibos tea should you choose to use them. 
Put on a low heat with the lid on for a minimum of 24 hours (we leave it 2 - 3 days). Do not leave on the heat overnight. Switch off and carry on the next day. 
Remove the bones and vegetables and discard. Do not feed these bones to your dogs. Now you can get creative and add vegetables and herbs, medicinal mushrooms and so forth. 
Let the broth cool with the additions and then place in the kitchen overnight or for a few hours. 
You should be able to chip or scrape off the fat - toss the fat in your green bin or compost heap.
Scoop the broth into ice cube trays or containers to freeze or store in the fridge and scoop some over your dogs food daily. In the fridge it will last about 4 - 5 days. 

This recipe yielded 5l of bone broth.

Let us know how your Beags like the bone broth - what did you put in yours?

    ALTERNATIVE HEALING & BLOG DISCLAIMER
    Alternative healing articles and any other advice featured in this blog do not claim to replace any conventional veterinary treatment. This is an educational blog for Beagle owners to read about alternative options that we as Beagle owners have tried ourselves and seen positive outcomes. We do not post anything we have not experienced positively and will never endorse anything in which we do not believe through positive experience.

    Kinesiology and other healing modalities do not diagnose, cure or prescribe, as these activities are the prerogative of veterinarians. Kinesiology may provide a different, energy-based approach to allergy support, and potentially allow for a reduction in the use of corticosteroids. As a kinesiologist, I believe that allergies, just like other ailments, may have an emotional and/or mental aspect which is worth addressing. As such, this modality represents a valid complementary therapy to veterinary care.
