Healthy jigglers?

So I am wanting to get some different healthful additions to their food but do not have time to mix up all kinds of extra supplements every meal. I was thinking of doing jigglers and giving them as treats. I tried this for the cranberry supplement for Chica's UTI and it worked well. So here are my thoughts:

I made some bone broth and have beef gelatin for the base. I thought I could add some turmeric, coconut oil and cranberry supplement to them. I then figure out home many servings I've made and cut them accordingly. Thoughts? Any other additions that would be good? I have two pups with some liver issues, one without a spleen and one diabetic. Cross your fingers the puppy stays healthy! Lol

Sounds like a great idea - or possibly freeze them. Seems with the heat cold treats go over better around here.

That's a wonderful idea! I think it will also be easier:) I will still add the gelatin for the added benefits though.

Can you think of any additions to help their immune systems? Chica's has really taken a hit and I feel if I can get her immune system functioning at optimal levels her liver and diabetes issues will dissipate.

Immune boosters: probiotics, gelatin/collagen, lysine, bone broth, minerals (the fulvic supplement would be good on trace minerals)... I like the jigglers idea. That and flavored ice-cubes. Denna LOVES ice, especially bone-broth cubes. :)
