Are these the healthiest dog treats in the world?
For this recipe all you need is gelatin, bone broth, a little garlic paste and a mould to set it in – how could it be any easier than that? Not just super tasty but super healthy too. Gelatin is great for the skin, nails, coat and joints. Bone broth is anti inflammatory, great for the blood, the immune system and aids digestion. Garlic keep fleas, ticks and worms away, cleans the blood and is anti fungal, anti bacterial and antiviral. But isn’t garlic bad for dogs?
No sugar, no gluten, no preservatives, just pure goodness in a tasty treat that your dog will love. Just 3 ingredients needed to make this simple dog treat recipe that makes your dog even healthier!
Previously I told you how to make your own bone broth recipe since it’s so good for dogs and making it is a lot cheaper than buying it. I use this pressure cooker
You can get pet shaped Jelly Baby moulds from here
INGREDIENTS
2 ½ tablespoons of gelatin, 140ml (1/2 cup) of bone broth, ¼ teaspoon of garlic paste.
METHOD
Excellent, will give these a try!
How do you store these? In the fridge? How long do they keep?
Hi Jamie
I was under the impression dogs shouldn’t have garlic ?
Garlic is fine. Onions arent good though. I’ve spoke to two vets and a canine dietitian and both say its fine. The vets said its good for keeping fleas and parasites away. Here’s more info: http://www.petguide.com/health/dog/the-shocking-truth-about-dogs-and-garlic/
have you tried making these using golden paste or turmeric gravy?
How long do these keep for? should they be refrigerated?
How many treats does this recipe make? Looking forward to making this!
In the recipe I only use 140 ml of broth and I think that was about enough to fill one tray of jelly babies (12 in total).
Jamie you are a genius! I make dehydrated treats as a fundraiser for Wolfdog Rescue U.K and have just spotted your Gel Broth treats, I have trotters and duck feet in my freezer…now I know what to do with them!!
Thanks Sally and good luck with the fundraising!
Dog won’t choke on these? They’re sort and chewy not hard? Thanks!
Hey Viv. If you are concerned, break them up or use the much smaller gummybear mould.
Hi thank you, but I can’t get the bone broth, where do I get it from
Hi John. You can use this broth here > http://amzn.to/2eAIGD6.
But if you plan to give use broth a lot to either make jelly babies or to give the dog a bowl to supplement it’s diet you might be better off buying a pressure cooker if you don’t have one and making it yourself as most butchers will give you the bones for free. This is the pressure cooker I use > http://amzn.to/2guNEOy
Hi, i have just seen your recipe, and just brought all the stuff to make them, do i give my dog one everyday, or 1 every few days? Thankyou
Daily is fine.
How long do they keep on the shelf? In the refrigerator? In the freezer? Where do you suggest storing them?
Fridge short term, or freezer long term. I dont really every worry about storing any food, nothing lasts long enough for me to ever worry about storing.
How long do these keep, and where do I store them?
I have leaf gelatin in the cupboard. How much should I use to get the right end result texture ?
you want 18-20 grams for this recipe, so find out how much a leaf weighs and work it out.
Hi Jamie, is the garlic ok to give to dogs?
yeah its fine, it’s only in large quantities that any probs could arise. I’ve spoke to vets and dietitians and they all say the same thing: it cleans the blood and keeps fleas and ticks away.
Something I just googled. http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/garlic-for-dogs-poison-or-medicine/
Is it possible to make the above recipe without the garlic? Just to be safe?
Of course. I just add it to make it tastier
The only garlic you need to worry about is raw cloves, and a dog would need to eat a lot of them to get sick.
Once garlic is cut the chemical properties change and becoming anemic is no longer a worry.
Amazon sold out don’t know if they will be getting anymore beef broth can I substitute.

For the jelly babies can I use beef stock cubes
There’s a lot of salt in stock cubes, I think about 5g per cube. Dogs have a hard time processing salt so I’d try something else. Let me have a think….
