Brutus Bone Broth aims to provide health and longevity benefits to dogs by offering a tasty and nutritious bone broth product. Brutus Broth is masterfully crafted specifically for dogs using the highest quality standards possible and human grade ingredients.
Many bone broths meant for humans contain ingredients that can be harmful for dogs, such as onions and garlic. Brutus Broth is crafted to boost your dog’s overall health with added nutrients you won’t find anywhere else on the market.
Fortified with chondroitin and glucosamine to support your dog's joint health, as well as turmeric to combat inflammation, Brutus Broth is a great way to get these nutrients into your dog’s existing diet at an affordable price. Additionally, every batch of Brutus Broth goes through two strict rounds of quality assurance that is governed by the USDA so you can be confident in putting Brutus Broth in your dog’s bowl.
Founding Story
The Brutus Broth story began on Thanksgiving Day 2016 when a family member asked Co-Founder and CEO Sue Delegan what she attributed to Brutus' longevity - who lived to be almost 14, well beyond the typical life expectancy of a 135 lb dog. The answer: “Love and Grandma’s Bone Broth.” As a pup that led a very active life, Brutus had a number of health issues most senior dogs face.
Sue found that adding Bone Broth to his diet not only provided him with a tastier meal but gave him added nutritional benefits, and made his dry food easier to digest. The challenge was finding a way to share these benefits with other dogs. Kim and Sue spent thousands of hours researching the pet market, speaking to experts in the industry, testing and tweaking recipes, designing packaging prototypes, working with ingredient suppliers and manufacturers, amongst other things, to assemble the best possible team to help bring Brutus’ Bone Broth to the market.
