Tendon Soup for Dogs and Cats
Makes a rich soup that nourishes tendons, ligaments and cartilage
- 2-4#s of cut up hooves – use beef, goat or lamb* NOT pork (Check with Indian markets)
- Mixed root veggies such as turnip, rutabaga, yucca – maybe dicon radish
Cover the hooves and roots in water , bring to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Simmer low for 2-4 hours. You may use a crock pot or pressure cooker as well.
This will gel in the refrigerator. Feed as a TOP DRESSING on dry food or as a small meal as it is very rich.
Any tendon or soft parts can be fed to the pet.
* Thought to be the best.
Do you actually feed the soup to the dogs or just the gel? Are the tendons edible or do you strain them out?
You can feed anything that gets soft enough, although I tend to stick to the gel because it’s easier. I just put it on top of the regular dog food. Most all of the “soup” should gel up. 🙂
