Be careful with broth, definately make your own, and be sure not to use broth from meats that have been roasted w/ onions.
Whenever I make a whole chicken for dinner, I always boil the carcass for the dog. This way I make my own chicken stock, and the tiniest bits of meat come right off the bones. I usually freeze the stock, and use the chicken bits as training treats. Pour the homemade stock into ice cube trays and you'll have easy portion sized cubes that you can defrost and add to any meal.

With all due respect, I've got to disagree with whoever said "lots of veggies." Lots of meat, some veggies (if any at all), especially if you're cooking the meat. You're losing nutritional benefits by cooking it, and adding a lot of veggies further deteriorates the meal's nutritional value, since dogs' digestive systems don't process whole vegetables' nutrients well (better to puree the whole veggies and add 'em raw for their maximum benefit). JMO.

jys1011, yes, home made broth cubes work great in summer - as an outside treat of course. otherwise you'll get a broth puddle on your floor…
I agree w/ gbrozon on the cooked veggie issue - very good point!
I prefer to give my dog raw veggies, and he usually only eats carrots.

Thank you for the response, I love the broth cube idea! And when I cook her meat I won't add seasoning or onions and just keep it plain. The only difference is, I might cook the veggies I add because they would probably be easier on her stomach.

Maybe I should try to make the homemade food with less veggies since it didn't settle well on her tummy…

I like to add oatmeal to my dog food. I cook that and typically, add some veggies, rice, chicken, beef - whatever I feel like adding. But the oatmeal has always settled well with everyone. IN the winter it warms tummies too.

Bake the chicken or pan fry with garlic powder, pepper and salt. Make the rice. Steam the veggies and mix the veggies with the rice. You could add some seasoning like sauteed onions and garlic to this for added flavor.

DO NOT add ONIONS - dogs can't eat ONions. Sounds good for people though
