There is nothing that flips your world upside down faster than a sick pet.

The quiet house, the skipped meal, and the way they look at you like they do not quite feel like themselves. Whether it is a minor tummy bug, post procedure recovery, or just one of those off days, caring for a sick dog or cat shifts you into full time comfort mode.

When appetites are low, hydration and gentle nourishment become everything. One simple, soothing way to support them? Bone broth gummies made with Merrick Bone Broth.

Merrick Bone Broth is crafted specifically for dogs and cats, making it a safe and flavorful way to encourage hydration. Bone broth is naturally rich in moisture and can be easier on sensitive stomachs than heavier foods. When pets are not feeling well, even a few licks of something savory can help.

Turning it into gummies makes it easy to portion, store, and offer in small amounts throughout the day. Here is how to make them.

Merrick Bone Broth Gummies

You will need:

• 1 cup Merrick Bone Broth (chicken turkey or beef)

• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin

Warm the bone broth slightly on the stove. Do not boil it. Sprinkle the gelatin over the warm broth and whisk until fully dissolved. Pour into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Refrigerate for about two hours until firm.

That is it.

Once set, you can pop out the gummies and store them in the refrigerator for several days. Offer one cube at a time as a gentle treat, crumble it over food to tempt a picky appetite, or let your pet lick it slowly from a spoon.

For pets who are not interested in drinking water, these chilled broth cubes can also double as hydration support. Some dogs enjoy them slightly frozen for a cooling, soothing snack. For cats, try offering smaller portions or pressing a cube into a shallow dish.

Of course, bone broth is not a replacement for veterinary care. If your pet is lethargic, vomiting persistently, refusing all food, or showing concerning symptoms, call your vet. But during mild recovery days, adding something warm and nourishing to their routine can make a difference. Sometimes caring for a sick pet is not about grand gestures.

A simple cube of broth.

A little extra hydration.

A reminder that they are safe.

And that you are right there with them.
