Left Coast Performance Beef Bone Broth Powder for Dogs and Cats

可变利益实体w On Amazon 可变利益实体w On Leftcoastperformance.com

猫主人谁不喂任何东西他们也t eat themselves will be happy to know that Left Coast Performance Grass-fed Beef Bone Broth sells the exact same product for humans but with different packaging. Most bone broth manufactured for humans isn’t suitable for cats because of the added spices and salt, but this single-ingredient beef bone broth doesn’t have any added yeast, salt, flavoring, or fillers.

Left Coast Performance Grass-fed Beef Bone broth is made from the bones of grass-fed cattle in Sweden. It has been slow-cooked and simmered for hours to extract nutrients. It is a minimum 95 percent of crude protein and contains natural type I and III collagen that is rich in amino acids, including arginine, an essential amino acid for cats.

It doesn't have to be refrigerated before or after opening, but should be stored in a dark, cool place for maximum shelf life. It’s suitable for all life stages and can be sprinkled on top of your cat’s food or mixed with warm water. Each 8-ounce tub has approximately 90 servings’ worth of powdered bone broth (based on serving size for a 25-pound or less dog). Unfortunately, there isn’t a serving size guide for cats, just dogs, which makes it difficult to know the best serving size for your cat.

Native Pet Bone Broth Powder For Dogs

Native Pet makes two flavors of bone broth for your cat, beef and chicken. Both are made with minimal ingredients, but we’re partial to the beef version because it only has two ingredients and the first is beef bone broth. The second ingredient is sunflower lecithin, which functions as a cat-safe thickener and can even help shine up your kitty’s coat. Sunflower lecithin is often used as support for neurological disorders in cats thanks to its role in neutral transmission. We also like that this bone broth was researched and formulated by vets. Each 4.75-ounce resealable can has around 50 or more servings, depending on the size of your cat, and each serving contains at least a 90 percent crude protein.

Unlike liquid bone broth that will spoil in the refrigerator about a week after opening, we like that the powder form can be stored on the shelf for up to a year after opening. Give it to your cat by either sprinkling it on top of their regular food, mixed into their water, or mixed with warm water for a brothy treat. Although the current packaging doesn’t mention this product is made for cats, we called the company and got confirmation that both flavors of bone broth powder are safe for cats (and were told there is a cat-inclusive label redesign in the making).

Best Single-Serving

The Honest Kitchen Daily Boosters Beef Bone Broth with Turmeric for Dogs

可变利益实体w On Chewy 可变利益实体w On PETCO

This 12-pack of single-serve powdered bone broth is a convenient way to add a little oomph to your cat’s current diet or entice them to drink more water. Each sachet contains a shelf-stable powdered serving of beef bone broth that doesn’t need refrigeration. About the size of a credit card, the thin packets are perfect for travel since they can easily slip into the pocket of your jeans, purse, or cat carrier. These are most ideal for cat parents who don’t expect to use bone broth daily or who plan to be on-the-go. Packets can be opened and sprinkled on top of your cat’s food or mixed into their water as needed.

The Honest Kitchen Daily Boost Instant Beef Bone Broth is made with human-grade standards, in a human food facility, and contains no preservatives, fillers, or GMO ingredients. We like that dehydrated beef broth and beef are the first two ingredients, but find it curious that they don't specify if it is grass-fed beef, which is considered superior. It also contains dehydrated pumpkin (for digestive support), dried parsley, and dehydrated turmeric (an anti-inflammatory), which may be a hit or miss with some pet parents. While the single-serve packets are convenient, there is likely more than one serving per packet and the exact amount to give your cat can be hard to figure out, especially if it’s on the smaller side.

Applaws骨Broth Cat Food Complement

Fish bone broth is a rare find making these Applaws Limited-ingredient pouches of fish broth and tuna a particular treat. This is a great bone broth alternative for cats that have intolerances or allergies to common land-based proteins, or picky eaters on prescription diets. We love that each 3-ounce pouch contains just four ingredients—fish bone broth, tuna filet pieces, and tilapia (used for extra collagen), and guar gum, a natural fiber. When ingested in large quantities, guar gum may cause gas or diarrhea in cats. Unfortunately, this means the lack of a serving size guide may cause some anxiety for pet parents (how much is too much?).

Still, this broth uses no artificial ingredients, colors, or preservatives, and the pouch has a resealable spout to help preserve the package’s freshness over multiple uses. It’s meant to be served at room temperature as a meal compliment poured over dry or wet food. Leftovers need to be refrigerated and used within five days, so this is most economical if you’re planning to add-in the broth on a regular basis.

Best for Kittens

Primalvore All-Natural Duck Bone Broth for Dogs & Cats

可变利益实体w On Amazon 可变利益实体w On Primalvore.com

The Primalvore Farm-raised Duck bone broth is great for all cat life stages, but we like it for kittens because it is made from limited ingredients and has a feeding guide for cats weighing as little as three pounds. Food intolerances and allergies can appear at any age, but can be a lot easier to identify if you’re feeding your kitten foods with limited ingredients. Primalvore Farm-raised Duck Bone Broth is made from a single protein source of slow-roasted duck bones, plus added collagen peptides and turmeric, an anti-inflammatory. While we prefer zero extra ingredients, we really like that this broth uses duck, which cats tend to tolerate a lot more than chicken or beef.

Unopen, this pouch can last up to 18 months on the shelf, but once you pop the cap, you’ll need to store it in the refrigerator and then use it all (or toss the leftovers) after a maximum of 10 days. If you choose to freeze it after opening, it’ll stay good for up to a year.
