Knox Blocks for Dehydration

It can be a challenge to keep an old or ill dog hydrated. Here's is a trick to get some fluid and a little protein in their system....of course, if they do not improve, you should always seek veterinary care. 

Recipe for Doggy Jello:

Start with 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
stir in 4 envelopes of Knox unflavored gelatin powder
add another 2 cups of boiling water and a tablespoon of honey or karo syrup
stir to thoroughly until completely dissolved.
Pour into a pie plate or cake pan and chill.

Once "solidified," cut into bite size blocks that are easy for both you and your dog to handle. They should 'slide right down and help your dog feel more comfortable. Some people find this useful for a treat to give their dog after it's been out hunting, playing, or working hard along with a few pieces of cheese or other high protein reward.
