Is low-sodium chicken broth safe long-term for my picky senior cat?

Question

Hello again! I got some advice from Petco Pet Education Center earlier today on getting my senior, finicky kitty to not be so picky about his food and it was recommended to try a Small amount of the juice /water from canned chicken in his wet food. could I try a small amount of chicken broth ... low sodium of course because he does have hi blood pressure and takes medicine for it. If this is ok and he likes it, is there any harm in this in the long term? Thanks!! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 18 years old | 9.5 lbs

Hello. That would be perfectly fine. Another thing to try is the new, small pouches of broths made for cats now. For my senior cat, I tried all of them & the one she liked the best was a bisque style made for kittens. It only contains about 2 tablespoons but adding it to her regular food really keeps her eating longer. Hope this works for Tony. Take care.
