  • Can I give broth to my pets?
    We make special bone broth for pets. It contains only Bone Broth, and not any of the other ingredients. This is because of the Allium species of plants – as it is toxic to animals. These plants include garlic, onions, leeks, scallions, chives and shallots. If your pet eats one of these products, red blood cells can be damaged, resulting in the cells not being able to carry oxygen.
