This summer we noticed some changes with Zelda, she was constantly hungry….I mean really, really hungry 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We were traveling with Zelda at the time this started so as soon as we got home we made an appointment with her Vet’s office. After many trips to the vet and many tests it was confirmed that Zelda has cushing’s disease. This was causing all of her intense hunger. To make a very long story short she is currently on 2 medicines 2 times a day. One of things we had to do for her was to modify her diet as she had put on too much weight while we were trying to find her diagnosis. So I was looking to find her a healthy treat and it was really not that easy but my Pinterest search found these gummies and Zelda LOVES them!
INGREDIENTS
3/4 Cup bone broth, I used home made but any will work fine
2 Tablespoons powdered gelatin
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
Dash of black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Place 1/4 cup of bone broth into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 4-5 minutes. For broth to absorb the gelatin.
Pour 1/2 cup of bone broth into a small saucepan. Stir in turmeric and pepper into broth in the saucepan. Using medium/high heat bring the mixture up to a boil. Remove from heat and add the broth/gelatin mixture and stir.
Pour into molds, I bought the bone and paw shape molds on Amazon. Place the molds on a small baking sheet and refrigerate for a couple hours.
I hope your fur babies enjoy these as much as Zelda does.
Store in fridge.
Enjoy!
