StarFox Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Ok so I read somewhere ( I can't remember where) that you can put one of thoes beef bouillon cubes in water and then freeze the beef water, and that they make great dog treats. Like beef flavored ice cubes. Has anyone tried that? I have the Bouillon cubes just wondering if anyone has tried it. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 no but it sounds a good idea for a hot sunny day Quote
Malamum Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Sounds totally gross to me, but it does sound like something dogs would like. Let us know if Zebra likes them if you do decide to try it. Quote
Carolk9s Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Just be aware that beef bouillon cubes or granules carry a high sodium content, 1 teaspoon of the granules I have here contain 870mg of sodium. Depending on how much water you dissolve the bouillon in, your dog might get a little sodium or a lot. I prefer to dilute any bouillon with a large amount of water. Another idea, if you cook a roast with some water, add a little extra, then use that and dilute it with more water. Dog still gets that beefy flavor without the added sodium. Of course dogs, like people, need SOME salt/sodium in their diets but I don't wish to add a lot of sodium. I also boil chicken breasts in a lot of water then save and freeze that water in cubes. Dogs love it! Quote
courtnek Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 I did it when my dogs were teething. you can get buillon cubes with low sodium content, look for the diabetic/sugar free aisle in your grocery store if you have one. most diabetics need to stay away from high sodium levels, and they may have some there. if not, then yes, dillute them alot. but my dogs all loved them you can do it with chicken cubes too. same thing, try to get the low sodium ones Quote
StarFox Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 :o :o You guys are right!! There is so much sodium in them i'm amazed!! 1,400 mg!!!!!! :o I'm definitly going out and getting the low sodium ones! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 I give Coal normal ice cubes and he LOVES them! (he mainly likes to play with them :roll: ) So I've been thinking about doing the beef or chicken thing for him! I'm sure he'd love that! If we ever have a hot day again :roll: I will have to remember to do that :D Quote
