Paleo diet?

Bone broth is good for the dogs too though, right??

I sometimes pour a little bone broth on their food and they gobble it up. I figure it's good for the dog with the bad hips. When I made my broth, I gave all the leftover veggies to the dogs and boy, did they go crazy for it!

I bet it is!! I have been recommending that my clients with dogs with gastrointestinal upset or other illnesses feed them bone broth by syringe when they won't eat. I swear it's what saved my little rescue greyhound from distemper last year.

Catrin - you can use chicken bones just as well as beef/bison bones. I roast whole chickens and chicken thighs in the oven and save the carcass bones and thigh bones in the freezer. When I have a good amount I boil them for about an hour. They don't take as long as the long bones of the ruminants.

Westtexas, why are bones bad for dogs? What about feeding raw diets?

Okay thread hijack. If you are so inclined would you send be a brief pm? I do feed my dog bones (uncooked) occasionally.

I do that with chicken sometimes too, if I've roasted one. Carcass+wings (because I don't eat them), put in a stock pot, cover with water, boil.

ETA: Excellent in winter for warming the place up.
