Safety starts with what’s in the powder—and what isn’t. Cats should not have broth products made with onion, garlic, chives, or heavy seasoning. Sodium is another common issue: some broths are designed for human taste, not feline needs. If you’re using bone broth powder supplements for cats, choose products formulated specifically for pets and follow serving guidance rather than “eyeballing it.”
If your cat has kidney disease, heart disease, or is on a therapeutic diet, check with your veterinarian before adding any topper, because mineral and electrolyte balance can matter (Summers S, 2022). The safest approach is a low-additive product used consistently in small amounts—supporting hydration and meal enjoyment without pushing the overall diet off-center.
