My dog won't eat. Is beef broth safe due to sodium? Or Pedialyte?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog will not eat her food is it doesn’t smell like human food. I’ve been putting beef broth in her food but I’m consern about her sodium intake. I was curious is this was a good solution. Or should I switch to pedialite.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Belle. You can use a low sodium beef broth, but she really should be eating her dog food alone. I would keep decreasing the amount of beef broth you put into her food until she is eating the dog food alone. She really should not be having it, so it's best to try to wean her off of it. I hope this helps.
