All our broths are suitable for cats, even kittens, and elderly cats.

It’s important that you chat with your vet before introducing any new food to your cat, or kitten’s diet.

Cats love our broth and the nutrition is really good for their digestive system, and their joints and ligaments too. Cats often don’t drink enough, so giving them some broth daily can help with hydration and also giving them the extra health boost.

Choose from any of our flavours and be sure to follow the feeding guidelines according to your cats weight.

We always recommend giving a small amount of broth to your cat before giving a full serving. Simply make up 1g of bone broth powder to 10ml of boiling hot water and then allow to cool before serving.

Once your cat has tried the broth and you are happy with their progress, then we recommend you give 1/3 scoop with 30ml of boiling hot water.
All our bone broths are made using only three ingredients - bones, water and apple cider vinegar. We then gently dehydrate our broths to retain the nutritonal quality during preservation. We do not add any other ingredients to our broths; no salts or seasoning, or herbs, or anything else such as bulkers and fillers.

Real Dogs. Real Results. Real Science.

At Boil and Broth, we don’t just believe in the power of bone broth, we put it to the test. In collaboration with Biome4Pets and Aberystwyth University, we conducted a 4-week canine gut microbiome study on 33 dogs who had never consumed bone broth before. Each dog’s gut microbiome was analysed before and after daily bone broth supplementation to assess changes in bacterial diversity and key gut health markers.

The results were remarkable. 96.88% of dogs showed an increase in gut bacterial diversity, a vital indicator of digestive health, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Even more impressive, levels of beneficial Bifidobacterium, bacteria linked to stronger immunity and reduced inflammation, increased by an average of 1562.86% across all participants. At the same time, potentially harmful bacteria such as Helicobacter and Clostridium Sensu Stricto were significantly reduced, helping to support gut balance, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive comfort.

This study provides strong evidence that bone broth acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your dog’s gut and helping to restore healthy microbial balance.

Key Study Highlights

✔ 96.88% of dogs experienced increased gut bacterial diversity after 4 weeks of bone broth

✔ Helicobacter levels reduced by 96.97%, supporting lower gut inflammation

✔ 87.1% of dogs saw a reduction in Clostridium Sensu Stricto

✔ Bifidobacterium increased by 1562.86% – in every single dog

✔ Firmer stools, less itching, shinier coats, and improved energy reported by owners

✔ Dogs on balanced, high-fibre, or raw diets saw the greatest improvements

These changes are important because a healthy gut microbiome supports:

Stronger immunity
Better digestion
Reduced inflammation
Healthier skin and coat
Improved overall wellbeing

"Expert Insight"

Dr Carol Hughes, Microbiologist at Biome4Pets, explains:

“We analysed the microbiome and chose three important species of bacteria. Two are commonly associated with gastric discomfort and diarrhoea, and the third is associated with good health. We have seen remarkable results with bone broth, which appears to behave as a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria.”
