Mini Broth Topper Bites
Tiny frozen bones you scatter over dinner. They add moisture to dry food, a flavour boost for picky eaters, and make cool little rewards on hot days. One batch fills both trays in the Mini Treat Maker pack.

Serve it as: Meal topper · Hand-fed treat
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-sodium bone broth (no onion or garlic), or goat's milk or plain unsweetened kefir
- 2 tbsp plain pumpkin purée (optional, not pie filling)
Method
- Set both Mini Treat Maker trays on a baking sheet so they stay flat on the way to the freezer.
- Whisk the broth (or goat's milk or kefir) with the pumpkin, if using, until smooth.
- Pour slowly over the trays and spread with a spatula to fill the little bones. Scrape across the top so each bone freezes on its own.
- Freeze flat for about 2 hours, until solid.
- Flex the silicone to pop the bones out and store them in a freezer bag. Scatter a small handful over your dog's meal, or hand them out one at a time as cool rewards.
Why it's good for them
A hydrating boost for dogs on dry food, extra interest at mealtime for picky eaters, and gentle fibre from pumpkin. Goat's milk or kefir adds probiotics.
Storage
Keep frozen in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. Toppers count toward your dog's daily food, so start with a small handful.
