Sometimes the easiest way to improve your dog's diet isn't a new food — it's a good topper. Open Farm's bone broth line is built for exactly that: a low-effort addition that boosts hydration, flavor, and a little extra nutrition without changing your dog's actual diet.
What's In the Bottle
Open Farm makes three bone broth flavors: Beef, Chicken, and Homestead Turkey. Each is made by slow-simmering bones from that named protein along with wholesome vegetables, consistent with the same Certified Humane, ethically sourced standards behind the rest of the Open Farm lineup.
Why Bone Broth Is Worth Adding
A few practical reasons owners reach for bone broth:
- Hydration. Dogs who don't drink enough water on their own, or who eat mostly dry kibble, can get an easy moisture boost by having broth poured over their food.
- Palatability for picky eaters. A splash of broth can make an otherwise unappealing bowl much more enticing, without changing the actual diet.
- Encouraging a sick or recovering dog to eat. Dogs recovering from illness or a vet procedure sometimes need a little extra encouragement to eat, and broth's aroma and flavor can help.
- An easy way to hide medication for dogs who are difficult to pill.
How to Use It
Bone broth is meant as a topper or mix-in, not a standalone meal — pour a small amount over dry kibble, mix it into freeze-dried raw when rehydrating, or serve it on its own as a treat in appropriate small amounts. It's not a replacement for a complete and balanced diet, just an addition to one.
Is It Safe for Every Dog?
Bone broth is generally well tolerated, but as with any new addition to your dog's diet, introduce it gradually and watch for any reaction, especially in dogs with known sensitivities. If your dog has a specific health condition — kidney issues or sodium sensitivity, for example — check with your vet before adding any broth or food topper to their routine, since broth ingredients and sodium content vary by brand and recipe.
Not the Same as Freeze-Dried Raw
It's worth noting bone broth is a different product category from Open Farm's freeze-dried raw line — it's a topper, not a shelf-stable freeze-dried format, so it's not part of the freeze-dried nationwide shipping promotion. It's a small, inexpensive addition most owners add on to an order that already includes their dog's main food.
