What is Brutus Broth?

Brutus Broth is a human-grade brand of broth formulated specifically for dogs, while also offering products for cats. It is intended to be used as a topper, and can be a regular addition to your dog’s daily diet. Brutus Broth (Brutus Bone Broth) was founded around 2017 by sisters Sue Delegan and Kim Hehir. The idea for the company traces back to Thanksgiving Day 2016, when a conversation about their dog Brutus’ longevity led them to realize how much bone broth, particularly the one made from Grandma’s recipe, had played a role in Brutus’ long life.

Brutus Broth is an effective way to moisten dry food so that it is easier to chew and digest, boost the flavor of ordinary food, add hydration and nourishment, and enhance your dog’s overall meal experience. 75% of users surveyed report that their dog’s mobility improved and 71% noticed a shinier, healthier coat. 

Are Brutus Broth Supplements Safe for All Dog Breeds?

Brutus Broth is generally safe for all dog breeds, sizes and ages. The AAFCO requires Brutus Broth to add the label “for adult dogs” on any product that contains glucosamine and chondroitin. Although Brutus Broth toppers are safe for dogs six months and older, if your dog has a history of food allergies, or is showing signs of discomfort or distress, consult a trusted veterinarian about your dog’s specific needs.  As with any new food, it is recommended to introduce Brutus Broth slowly into a dog’s existing diet and to follow recommended feeding guidelines based on your dog’s body weight. 

What Specific Health Conditions in Dogs are Addressed by Brutus Broth?

Brutus Broth products are an excellent addition to any dog’s diet, as they address a variety of health concerns such as:

  • Hip and joint health 
  • Coat and skin health
  • Digestive health 

Bone Broth to support hip and joint, coat and skin, and digestive health

The human-grade bone broth prepared by Brutus Broth specifically targets hip and joint health because it contains natural compounds such as collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which are essential for supporting cartilage and connective tissue in joints. The idea behind Brutus Broth came about because the company’s co-founder’s rescue dog, Brutus, a 135 lbs Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, lived to be 14 while maintaining his mobility and agility. The secret behind Brutus’s health? His regular consumption of human-grade bone broth. In addition to joint support, bone broth can soothe the digestive system by promoting a healthy gut lining and aiding nutrient absorption. It also contributes to a shiny, healthy coat by supplying amino acids and minerals that nourish skin and hair follicles.

How do you introduce your dog to Brutus Broth supplements smoothly?

As with any new food, it is recommended to slowly introduce Brutus Broth to a dog’s existing diet and to slowly build toward the recommended feeding guidelines based on your dog’s body weight. A slow build up over at least a week towards the total feeding amount per meal can help prevent gastrointestinal upset and set your dog up for a smooth transition into regular consumption. 

What are the Possible Side Effects of Brutus Broth Supplements?

Brutus Broth is generally considered safe if the recommended feeding guidelines are followed. At this time, we cannot offer substantial evidence on any reported side effects. However, there are possible side effects that dog owners should consider. As with any new diet item, gastrointestinal upset (soft stools, vomiting, diarrhea, unwillingness to eat, etc.)  is something to watch out for. Weight gain or allergic reactions are also possible. It is always recommended to monitor your dog during and after meal time when a new product or diet item is being introduced so that you can monitor them for any signs of distress. When in doubt, speak to a trusted veterinarian about your dog’s specific case and needs.

Are there Dog Allergy Considerations in Brutus Broth Supplements?

As with any dietary supplement, there could be specific ingredients that could cause allergic reactions in dogs who are susceptible to that specific ingredient. For example, if your dog is allergic to beef, chicken or pork then it is possible for them to have an allergic reaction to that flavor of broth. It is also possible for a dog to react poorly to any of the other ingredients. It is important to monitor your dog for signs of itchy skin, swelling, gastrointestinal upset, etc. and to consult with your veterinarian before starting your dog on a new product or if any signs of distress appear after starting a new product.
