Most chicken broth you buy has onion in it. I would not feed that to a dog (I'm a little nutty about never feeding onion and garlic because I had a dog that had Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia 5 or 6 times). I make my own chicken broth for my dog and cats. You can freeze or can it, and my dog likes chicken broth ice cubes in the summer.

Yeah, I use a whole cut-up chicken plus 2 thighs, 4 thighs if I take out the chicken breasts for myself. I simmer it for 4 hours in water to cover then take out the big bones and break them apart with pliers so the marrow will come out in the broth. Then I gently swish the cut-up bones in the broth (it's hot as hell) and cook it for another hour. If your dog likes carrots you can add some carrots the last hour. I would just cut off the ends and break the carrots in half and add them in as it's easier to cut them up when they're cooked. Strain the broth when it's done and put the carrots aside. The meat is tough and chewy and I usually throw it away. Cut up the carrots and add them to the broth. You can buy a defatting cup if you're serious about making broth a lot or you can let it cool and spoon the fat off later. If you can only find whole chickens you can ask the meat guy to cut up the bird for you. If you break up the bones strain the broth very well! It's a PITA but I hate wasting that marrow.
