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? It is 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.
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 my Instant Pot pressure cooker and it only takes 4 hours, using a slow cooker it takes 12-24 hours and on the stovetop between 6-12 hours.
I can make bone broth for just the price of some bones, which any decent butcher may give you for free or you can buy in Morrisons! Bone broth is a real super food that helps boost your dog's immune system and overall health. You can buy pet-shaped Jelly Baby moulds from Amazon here or you can use Gummy Bear Mould instead. I'll be using a gelatin I bought online as it's perfect for dogs and it's suger free and natural but any gelatin will do!

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.
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….
