A staggering amount of chicken is eaten by Americans today compared to fifty years ago.
Every year the United States consumes eight billion chickens.
On average people ate a pound (half a kilogram) of chicken a week or 50 pounds per year in the 1970s but now they consume more than a hundred pounds (50 kilograms).
It is logical that if people eat so much chicken and love it so much it will also be a popular food for our dogs.
I will examine in detail the nutrition of chicken in the next section which will look at what dogs get from it.
