Sounds good. But you know what a lawyer would say….if you don’t have it in writing, you have nothing. Is he neutered? Maybe he has never even seen a vet?

So, I would take him in for an annual checkup, after all, it is time for heartworm checks and such.
You can decline all vaccines except rabies, except where required by law.
Buy a folder for his medical records, vet visits and keep all info in there. If you ever have an emergency situation and have to go to a vet you don’t know, you can just grab the folder.

Annual visits are worth the expense, I found this out the hard way. If anything is wrong it is best to pick it up early.

PS: The sausage might not be a good idea, loaded with nitrates, salt, chemicals…
Regarding the chicken broth, I mean homemade without additives, msg and junk.
Just boil a chicken for 3-4 hours, cool, debone, put the broth in the fridge and skim the layer of fat off the next day. You should have at least a quart of broth that will be good for a few days in the fridg.
The deboned chicken you can put in individual serving plastic sandwich baggies and freeze.
Messy and time consuming but cost effective, better than canned as a topper.
Dogs love chicken! I use Nutrisca Salmon and Chickpea dry as a base, check Chewy.com
