Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken bone broth (unsalted, homemade or store-bought)
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (for anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions
- Warm the broth: Pour the chicken bone broth into a saucepan and heat it over low to medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling, reaching about 150°F (65°C). This temperature helps dissolve the gelatin without damaging its properties.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the warm broth while whisking continuously. Keep stirring until all the gelatin has fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Add optional ingredients: If using turmeric powder or any other optional add-ins, stir them into the broth-gelatin mixture at this point so they are evenly incorporated.
- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the liquid mixture into silicone molds or a shallow baking dish, making sure to distribute it evenly for consistent treat sizes.
- Refrigerate to set: Place the filled molds or dish in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours until the mixture becomes firm and gummy-like in texture.
- Remove the gummies: Once set, gently pop the gummies out of the silicone molds, or if you used a baking dish, cut the gelatin slab into small squares suitable for dog treats.
- Store properly: Keep the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for extended storage of up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use unsalted bone broth to keep the treats safe and healthy for dogs, avoiding excess sodium intake.
- Homemade bone broth is recommended for maximum nutritional benefits and to control ingredients.
- Adjust portion sizes depending on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
- The optional turmeric provides anti-inflammatory benefits but should be used in moderation.
- Ensure treats are fully cooled and set before serving to prevent choking hazards.
- Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new supplements or treats into your dog’s diet, especially if they have health conditions.
