ProDog Raw, the creators of leading raw food for dogs, have launched their brand-new, health-fuelled bone broths.
Ever heard the saying “Give a dog a bone”? Well, it now has an entirely new meaning…
Bone broths are known to be a healthy addition to any diet for an endless number of reasons. Made from simmering the bones and connective tissues of animals, bone broths are hugely nutritious, having gained immense popularity over recent years as a renowned health drink.
They’re rich in vitamins and minerals, support thyroid and metabolism function, aid joint health, benefit the digestive system, and more – and not just for humans, they’re fantastic diet additions for dogs too. According to ProDog Raw, bone broths are a nutritionally enriching complement to every dog’s diet plan and thanks to their new product, they now can be incorporated very easily.
ProDog Raw’s new bone broths can be poured over your dog’s food or given to them as a delicious, nutritious snack. This isn’t a fad; bone broths are quite literally liquid health and the experts behind ProDog Raw, including the Holistic Vet, Dr. Nick Thompson, and leading pet nutrition consultant Caroline Griffith, are in full support of these products and their ability to enhance dogs’ health.
At long last, your furry friend can lap up the benefits of bone broths too, whilst enjoying several different flavours: lamb, beef, lamb enhanced with sage, and beef enhanced with dandelion.
The experts at ProDog Raw suggest there are three key benefits to bone broths. These are as follows:
- Joint health
Dr. Nick Thompson, the Holistic Vet and a consultant for ProDog Raw, says: ‘Bone broths contain glycosaminoglycans which are molecules found in the connective tissues that keep our joints healthy. Also bone broth is rich in calcium, magnesium, amino acids which aid mobility, and more; they’re an ideal tool for athletes or those recovering from injury, and the same can be said for dogs. They are a great treat and/or meal supplement for any dog and if yours has experienced an injury of some kind, bone broths will undoubtedly be supportive to their recovery.
Similarly, bone broths are thought to help reduce the effects of symptoms associated with inflammation such as arthritis, making them particularly beneficial for breeds prone to this.’
- Gut health
He continues: ‘Bone broths are a tonic for the digestive system because they contain collagen, which forms gelatin when gently heated. Gelatin contains amino acids such as glutamine, which strengthens and heals the gut lining.’
- Liver support
Finally, Dr. Nick says: ‘The liver eliminates toxins from your body, relying on the amino acid glutamine to work properly. Thankfully, bone broths are filled with glutamine, meaning they help to support this function.’
Discussing the importance of ProDog Raw’s bone broths and why they are recommended as part of every dog’s diet, CEO Heidi Maskelyne says: “When you consider the nutritional value of everything you feed your dog the results will speak for themselves. This includes their snacks and any additions to their meals. Bone broths are an ideal choice; they’re packed with vitamins, minerals and can be fed as stand-alone snacks or poured on top of a dog’s meal to make it even healthier. The best part; whilst you’re enjoying bone broth benefits as part of your daily health routine, your furry friend can join in too.”
Finally, Caroline Griffith, a renowned pet industry nutrition consultant with over 25 years of industry experience, has delved into why bone broths are so beneficial to dog’s health.
“The nutrient molecules found in bone broth are key components of connective tissue, making it useful for dogs with any joint issues, injury or needing to rebuild collagen of the skin. The same key molecules are also wonderfully effective in supporting the health of the gut lining, reducing what is known as ‘leaky gut’ in dogs. There is in fact more glucosamine in the gut lining than in our joints.
With the nutrients in bone broth being in natural, highly bio-available forms, this really is a go-to food for a whole host of ailments – or as a preventative health-optimising superfood. Bone broth is ultimately a food not a medicine though, and we all like a different amount of gravy on our roast dinner! Use a common-sense approach and let your dog choose how much they would like to lap-up each day.”
