Is plain boiled chicken broth safe for my cat? What about calories?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach! Chicken broth is absolutely safe to give your cat and poses no health risks. Broth can enhance the flavor of food as well in picky eaters. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

It is fine to use some of the chicken broth for flavoring on dog food. Just make sure there was no aggressive seasoning or excessive salt used. The best broth for dogs would be non seasoned or low salt broth. Also you would want to skim out the fat if there is a lot of it or let it set up in the fridge first so you can remove the larger fat layer. Giving cooked chicken is also no problem as a treat. Just make sure the majority of the diet is dog food as that is made balanced for dogs. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello! Boiled chicken typically is fine to give to cats, but in small amounts, and without any seasonings or added ingredients. You should consider any "human food" to be a treat for your pet, and give small amounts every once in a while. Treats should only make up 10% or less of your pet's overall diet. Milk is not always tolerated by cats, and can cause stomach issues like vomiting and diarrhea. Hope this helps!

Cats can eat boiled white meat chicken. It should be plain. This is fine to feed for an unspent tummy or as a treat but this not balanced. Cats and kittens need to eat a balanced diet long term. I hope this helps.

Happy birthday to Earl Grey! I hope he has a wonderful day. Yes, some boiled chicken will be just fine for him, and I'm sure he will love it. You can offer him some tuna as well, and I'd get him some Temptations treats. My cats adore them. I hope this helps!

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Small bits of cooked chicken can be a good treat for a cat, but I would stay away from the other foods you mentioned. None of those foods are dangerous, but cheese and milk can cause diarrhea and GI upset, and crackers & bread are not very nutritious for cats. Better to stick with little bits of cooked meat. Hope this helps!

That was naughty of Vurtue to eat that cup of chicken skin and fat! The good news is that in cats eating a lot of fat doesn't cause pancreatitis, but you could see some GI upset from eating all that food. If you do see any GI upset in the form of vomiting or diarrhea, I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. Silly girl, hope she's ok!
