Find out how to treat and soothe your pup's tummy naturally with a warm homemade soup.

Winter days are here, and many of us love a warm bowl of soup or even need one if we catch a winter flue.

The winter flu, though, also affects our dogs. So for health issues like digestive problems, vomiting, diarrhoea, or just because you want to treat your dog with something special, a bowl of homemade soup is a great idea.

The following DIY recipes are easy to prepare with a few healthy ingredients that provide our BFF with vitamins, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iodine. Plus, they contain fats, calories, and all unique amino acids.
