Nothing wrong with my dog. I just wanted to know, if i boil a smoked turkey leg for broth, will it be ok. Even if i have taken all the skin off?

A smoked turkey leg might have more sodium than a regular leg, but I think it would be okay to give the meat (no bone) or the broth as long as your dog doesn't have any food allergies or sensitivities.
