Are Knox blox ever made without broth? Just plain? He's getting soft stools. I could reduce the broth. Don't know if he'd like them plain?
EDIT: Answered my own question. Made some plain with only Knox and water. Millie likes them. Pip wasn't interested, but he didn't want the flavored kind either, wasn't thirsty. Will try again later.
That was told to me by someone who gives chicken broth to her dog, but hers is homemade. I didn't think the broth for dogs was fatty, but he is having softer stools since starting the Knox blox.
The kind I'm using is Cafe Nara. It doesn't say the fat content. It says
Crude Fat 0.05% min
You're right. I'm not seeing fat on top when I stir in hot water. It isn't greasy if I hand a few to Millie.
Actually, he does lick the plain ones if he's thirsty. I'm serving them on a washcloth. It seems easier for him than trying to get them out of the little crock.
He just had some. Now we'll see if he still gets soft stools with the water only blox.
There's no telling what's in her homemade stuff, possibly even veggies. At least if you find a brand that works well for y'all there's a decent chance they'll be consistent.
2 packets Knox gelatine - 20 cal
makes 2 cups
10 cal per cup
2.5 cal per quarter cup
That's really good. He's eating them plain and he likes them. He had them twice today. They will definitely be consistent if they're plain!
Yesterday I gave blox to Pip and Millie. (Dolly isn't interested.) It was at 11AM. Last night as I was cleaning up at bedtime (10:45PM), I found a Knox blox cube next to Millie's crate where it had apparently escaped unnoticed. It had been there for almost 12 hours and it was still firm and not sweating or melting. So these things last at last half a day at room temperature. Previously I tried to look up online how long they would last and never found a good answer. Answer: ~12 hrs at least!
