At Puppy Tail, we believe simple, real ingredients can have powerful effects. One of the most underrated superfoods? Bone broth for dogs. This nourishing, slow-simmered liquid gold has been a staple in human kitchens for centuries, and it’s now earning its place in your pup’s bowl too.
What Is Bone Broth, Exactly?

Bone broth is made by slow-cooking animal bones and connective tissue, typically chicken, beef, or lamb, over 12–24 hours. This gentle simmer extracts:
- Collagen and gelatin for joint and skin support
- Amino acids like glycine for gut health
- Minerals including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
All in a highly digestible, hydrating form dogs love. The result is a nutrient-rich, aromatic broth that’s naturally low in calories but big on benefits.
Why Dogs Thrive on Bone Broth
Bone broth isn’t just tasty. It supports whole-body wellness in several key ways:
1. Joint & Mobility Support
The natural collagen in bone broth helps cushion joints and strengthen connective tissues, making it ideal for senior dogs or breeds prone to hip and joint issues.

2. Gut Healing & Digestion
Thanks to its gelatin content, bone broth soothes the gut lining and aids digestion, especially useful for dogs with sensitive stomachs or recovering from illness.
3. Immune System Boost
Amino acids like arginine and glutamine support immune function, making bone broth a gentle, effective way to keep your dog’s defences strong.
4. Hydration & Appetite Support
Bone broth is excellent for fussy eaters or dehydrated pups. Its aroma and flavour can entice even the pickiest pooch to eat—and slurp happily.
How to Serve Bone Broth at Home

Bone broth is as versatile as it is beneficial. You can:
- Pour it over your dog’s regular meals
- Use it as a healthy treat between meals
- Freeze it into pupsicles or cubes for hot days
- Warm it slightly for comfort during colder months
Just make sure it’s made for dogs; no added onions, garlic, salt, or preservatives. At Puppy Tail, we simmer ours from 100% Aussie-sourced ingredients, made fresh in small batches for quality you can trust.
