My picky dog needs broth. Are chicken broth cubes safe for him?

Question

My dog is a picky eater, he suddenly stopped eating his food unless I put chicken broth on. I'm concerened though with the chicken broth, what I'm putting is the one from a broth cube that I dissolve in water. Is this safe for my dog? The broth cube brand is Knorr, not sure if you're familiar with the brand. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 months and 26 days old | 0 lbs

The problem with bouillon cubes is that they are VERY high in sodium. 1 cube has almost the recommended amount of sodium for a human for an entire day! So, I think you are going to have to find another option long term. There are a number of companies that are making "gravies" to put over dog foods. There are also companies that are making "toppers" to add to food. I would recommend going to your local pet food store to see what they carry and trying a couple of options to see what Epic prefers. You may also consider changing foods or adding something like a dehydrated dog food to his diet (like The Honest Kitchen) in case he needs a little variety. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.
