Dog nutrition or what dogs should or shouldn’t eat has fascinated me for a few years now. It all started when I started to make homemade food for our dog.
Sometime ago, I wrote two posts about chicken broth. This one is about using chicken broth and onions. And this one is about whether chicken broth can cause diarrhea.
