How to Make Homemade Chicken Broth for Your Dog

Recently Barli had a bout of giardia so he spent a couple of days on a bland chicken and rice diet. To make it a little more flavorful, I used homemade chicken broth when cooking the rice–and even had enough left over to create some frozen treats for when he started feeling better a couple of days later.

Homemade chicken broth is super easy to make–and a better choice for your dog than commercial chicken broth, which often contains onion, of course a no-no for dogs.

How to Use Homemade Chicken Broth for Your Dog

You’ll find many ways to use the homemade chicken broth in your dog’s meals including as a way to soften dry food, a “gravy” over your dog’s normal meal, or frozen in a Kong.

Homemade chicken broth is also an excellent addition to chicken and rice, a dish recommended by many veterinarians when your dog is having tummy troubles.

If you have extra broth, ice trays are a handy way to freeze homemade chicken broth.

Once frozen, store cubes in zippered plastic bags for easy use in future treat recipes.

Homemade Chicken Broth for Your Dog

Ingredients

  • One 3-pound chicken
  • Water

Instructions

    1. Place chicken in a large stockpot and cover with three inches of water.
    2. Bring to a boil then simmer for 1 hour.
    3. Remove chicken from the water and reserve for another recipe.
    4. Discard all cooked chicken bones because cooked bones are a splintering and choking hazard for dogs.
    5. Refrigerate broth to skim off fat before freezing.

      I cook rice in broth. (Usually half broth and half water). My dog loves it. She won’t touch rice if it’s made in water only.

      Discard fat on top OR heat back up and stir in broth. I think the fat is good for their skin and coat. Dogs love it.

      Hi Chika, I generally only keep meat products about four days in the refrigerator! Paris

    WILL chicken broth aid in stopping my dog from scooting?
    My dog has been to the Vet two times in the last two weeks. And he is still scooting (and the Vet has charged me for each visit)…
    SOMEONE SAID THEY READY THIS ON LINE. I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO LOCAT THE ARTICLE??

      No, I think you first need to figure out why your dog is scooting…if it’s an irritation, an allergy, etc. You can then address that problem to help with the scooting. Here’s a veterinary article on why dogs scoot: https://www.noblesvillevetclinic.com/blog/108091-why-does-my-dog-scoot
