Beef Gelatin… great for tummy and a great every day addition especially if you aren’t giving bone broth. Here’s a few recipes for pill pockets and herbal gummy bears, bunnies, balls, whatever you have on hand 🐾💙

“Gelatin contains glutamic acid, which the body can form into glutamine. This substance may help promote a healthy mucosal lining in the stomach and aid digestion.”

Use whatever you have for molds, ramekins, small cupcake tins, small bowls, ice trays, gummy aminal molds, etc. 

“Grease” the mold with coconut oil to help the gelatin release after setting, or you can run the mold under warm water to help release.

  • Ingredients 
    • 4 tbs Gelatin powder (Double the amount of gelatin if using fresh ginger.)
    • ½ teaspoon dried ginger (or 1 teaspoon fresh ginger)
    • Any other gut soothing supplements you would like to include
    • Optional: ⅛ cup plain kefir
    • 2 cups hot broth
  • Instructions
    • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Carefully whisk in hot broth to dissolve all powders. Decrease the amount of liquid you use by equal amount of optional liquids used
    • Let cool and add kefir, if using.
    • Stir to fully combine.
    • Refrigerate 3 hours to allow the gelatin to set.💙🐾


💙🐾Herbal “treat” using beef gelatin…easy to make 🐾💙

This would be good if they decide they don’t want supplements anymore, or even to start giving before they reach the point of not wanting to eat food because of supplements (which usually happens to all our pups at some point 😢)

I put Daisy’s 4 supplements (no where near what Roscoe was getting but you can easily scale up the size or make multiple “treats” to cover all supplements needed) into approx 1/8 cup of turkey broth and wisked to mix throughly. Then added 1 tbs beef gelatin and wisked throughly again.  Then pour into mold that will hold all the mixture and refrigerate for 3 hours.  Remove herbal treat from mold and place in food or give before eating (since most supplements should be given with food).

I also make little tummy 🐰🦋 gummies with kefir and ginger to add to Daisy's bowl with each meal.
