Beef and Broccoli Gelatin Dog Treats

Print Recipe

1/4 pound lean steak (No need for an expensive cut.)
2-3 small broccoli florets
Water, for boiling (will need to reserve 1/2 cup)
1 (.25oz) packet Knox gelatin powder plain, unflavored, and unsweetened (Or 1 tbsp of Great Lakes Unflavored Gelatin Powder)

Place steak and broccoli into a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover.
On medium heat, let cook for about 15 minutes. When finished, the steak will be fully cooked.
Transfer cooked steak, broccoli, and 1/2 cup of the fresh beef broth to a blender. Puree until smooth.
Add gelatin powder and mix with a spoon until the gelatin is fully dissolved. I find mixing the gelatin in with a spoon works better vs. simply blending it with the blender.
Place a silicone mold onto a baking sheet for support and spoon the mixture into each mold, filling to the top.
Move to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Remove jello-like treats from the mold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

Don’t feed your dog store-bought Jell-O, which is filled with extra additives that aren’t good for dogs. Knox is a pretty common brand and they offer a plain, unflavored, unsweetened gelatin option that is safe for dogs. Or, Great Lakes is a high-end brand!
As tempting as it may be to add a boullion cube into your water to bump up the flavor, don't! Bouillon is typically processed with large amounts of sodium, sugar, MSG, and other ingredients that dogs should avoid.
