Today Kroger had whole chickens at 59 cents a pound . They were tyson but had the 12 % broth or what ever injections added. I bought 20 of them . Still ok for dogs? I missed out on the longhorn slaughter as had to work. Man that would have been a good score.
Mitch, some dogs seem to be sensitive to whatever's in the broth, but I have fed many Tyson chickens whole to Caleb, and have never had a problem. If you look at the ingredients, it's usually just a little added chicken broth for added flavor, but some brands have a lot of added salt or worse. I think Tyson is ok, if I remember correctly. At .59/lb, it sure is better than any dog food.
I use those too. As I said, it's not usually a problem. If you notice something of concern, take a look at the additives for a possible culprit. I try to buy as fresh and organic as possible, but w/7 dogs, I get what I can a lot of the time, and balance it out w/THK, which is made of pretty pure ingredients. I've never had a problem w/any kind of storebought chicken, but I have heard of others whose dogs were sensitive to something in fine print.
Do these broths have ingredients? Salt and MSG come to mind. We would freek if this was in a kibble! If I buy powdered chicken broth at the store I am not going to find one without Mono/Di Sodium Something or other.
Gonna go out on a limb and say I would not feed my dog or my family chicken "injected" with anything if I could help it. Especially if the contents are not disclosed. When we always buy the cheepest crap we end up buying stuff of Made in China quality. Why is chicken with something added to it cheeper than chicken with nothing added to it I wonder?????

Edit: Jenni I wasn't refering to you specifically, rather the thread in General, just pressed repy on your post.
MSG is more easily avoidable than salt, I would guess. I don't care what kind of chicken someone feeds; any kind of raw chicken has about a 99% chance of being better than ANY processed food. Like they put only the best organic chicken in kibble, lol. Also, it's usually sitting in the broth so it retains moisture. If you're concerned about it, dump the crap out and rinse off the bird. There's no reason for the dog to actually consume as much sodium as is in that broth. You can kind of tell which brands have more by how much water the dog drinks afterwards...once in a while they drink like they're kibble-fed, and I know that particular brand has more salt.
I still wonder why it has something added and is 'less expensive' than chicken with nothing added. Must just come from a bigger plant??
I agree that chicken in broth is better than kibble!
You should see the crap I am eating for dinner myself right at this moment, so I think I am getting off my high horse now The dog's diet is way better than mine!
This "broth" that is added to some of todays meat is often times nothing more then water to up the weight/cost of what your bying.
Water with a marketing spin!
