Chicken feet are used to make the liquid in this recipe, then removed and discarded. Careful straining is essential before the broth reaches your dog’s bowl. Freeze small portions if you want to avoid keeping a large container in the refrigerator.

Before you start

Eight cups is the starting water measurement, not a guaranteed final yield. Evaporation changes the amount left after cooking; measure the strained broth if you need to divide it evenly.

Homemade Chicken Feet Broth for Dog Toppers recipe

5 minutes preparation, about 6 hours simmering, plus chilling

Batch yield: 32 serving. Actual size and count may vary; this is not a daily serving recommendation.

Ingredients

• 17.6 oz chicken feet
• 8 cups water
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 stalk celery
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 pinch black pepper

Method

1. Put the chicken feet, water, vinegar, vegetables and spices in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
2. Simmer covered for about six hours, monitoring the water level. Add water if necessary to keep the ingredients submerged.
3. Strain carefully and discard all solids and bones. Refrigerate promptly in shallow containers, then remove the chilled fat layer.

How should I serve it?

Offer a small, manageable portion under supervision. Treats and toppers supplement regular food; they do not replace a complete diet. Ask your veterinarian before introducing this recipe if your dog has food allergies, a medical condition or a prescribed diet.

Keep extras within your dog’s daily treat allowance.

Storage and preparation notes

Refrigerate promptly in a covered container at 40°F / 4°C or below. Use within three days, or freeze portions sooner. This is a conservative storage plan, not a tested shelf-life claim.

See USDA storage guidance and minimum cooking temperatures. This recipe has not been kitchen-tested by My Dog Recipe; check doneness rather than relying only on the timer.

Can my dog have the cooked chicken feet?

Do not serve the cooked bones from this batch. The recipe is for strained liquid only; check it carefully for fragments before portioning.
