Calming Chicken Dog Jello Shots are a nutritious and soothing treat for dogs, made with wholesome chicken broth, diced chicken, and carrots, optionally enhanced with calming CBD oil. These gelatin-based bites are easy to prepare and provide a gentle way to support your dog’s relaxation and hydration.

Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Gelatin Mix

  • 3/4 cup unsalted chicken bone broth or stock (ensure no onions or garlic)
  • 1 packet (2 ½ tsp) unflavored gelatin powder

Fillings

  • 1/4 cup finely diced chicken
  • 1/4 cup finely diced carrots

Optional Additions

  • 1 drop per jello shot calming CBD oil for dogs

Instructions

  1. Heat Chicken Broth: In a small saucepan, gently heat ½ cup of the chicken broth until it starts simmering, ensuring it does not reach a full boil to preserve nutrients.
  2. Prepare Gelatin: While the broth heats, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the remaining ¼ cup of cold chicken broth in a medium bowl and let it sit for about 2 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin granules to absorb the liquid.
  3. Dissolve Gelatin: Pour the hot simmering broth into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin while continuously stirring or whisking to fully dissolve all granules, ensuring a smooth mixture without clumps.
  4. Add Ingredients: Stir in the finely diced chicken (and carrots if preferred) into the gelatin mixture, incorporating evenly for the treats.
  5. Prepare Molds: Place silicone or plastic molds on a flat, sturdy surface like a cookie sheet to make moving them to the fridge convenient and spill-free.
  6. Fill Molds: Pour or spoon the gelatin mixture into each mold cavity, filling to the top edge for nicely shaped jello shots.
  7. Add CBD Oil (Optional): If desired, add one drop of calming CBD oil to each treat to promote relaxation in your dog.
  8. Chill to Set: Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 ½ to 3 hours, depending on mold size, until the jelly is firm and set.
  9. Check Set: Test one jello shot by touching it gently; if your finger sticks, allow more chilling time for complete setting.
  10. Remove Treats: Carefully pop each jello shot out of the molds by pressing on the back of the mold cavities to release the treats without breaking.
  11. Storage: Store the chicken jello treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness and safety.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken broth or stock does not contain onions or garlic, as these are toxic to dogs.
  • The calming CBD oil is optional and should be dosed according to veterinarian guidance.
  • Use silicone molds for easier removal of gelatin treats.
  • If your dog has dietary restrictions, consult your vet before introducing new treats.
  • Keep treats refrigerated and discard after 3-4 days to ensure quality and safety.
