Yes the store stuff is junk. I probably would just cook down necks and backs with carrots and celery. The general rule of thumb is 1 lb of bones to 1 quart of water for a nice bone broth. Strain the entire mixture and cool the broth in an ice bath. Skim out the fat (it should harden and float to the top) before giving it to her. You can freeze it in an ice cube tray and add one to her meals or whatever later. Best to get organic local bones but either way this is so nutritious for them. I have to make broth all the time for Teddy who is a rare sterile struvite stone former. But all the dogs love it.
