The spine is a chain of small bones, each cushioned by a disc. What IVDD is, which dogs are most at risk, the signs that can’t wait, and how to protect the back every day.
The Bowl · Recipe
Bones, vegetables and time, until the pot sets to a soft, golden jelly.
No salt, onion, leek, stock cubes or gravy granules.
Every bone goes. Cooked bones turn brittle and splinter, even after hours in the pot.
Warm gently until just liquid, never hot, and pour over the usual food.
A nutritional top-up, not a meal: take a little of the usual food away to make room. For a sensitive stomach, begin with half. Freeze in an ice-cube tray for a ready portion each morning.
