Raw Boost Mixers Multivitamin Adult Cat Supplement

Cat · Supplement Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a freeze-dried raw beef-based supplement designed to be mixed with an adult cat’s regular food. It provides high protein along with added fish oil, taurine, choline, B vitamins, and minerals to support overall maintenance nutrition. Fibers from pumpkin seeds, sweet potato, chia, and beets can also help support healthy digestion when used as directed.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, calorie-dense topper that is actually complete and balanced for adult maintenance, which is unusual for a supplement-style product. It uses a variety of beef organs and muscle plus fish oil and added vitamins and minerals to round out the nutrient profile. It can work well for healthy adult cats who enjoy freeze-dried raw textures and need a boost of flavor and nutrients on top of their usual diet, provided you account for the extra calories and fat.

The KibbleLab Score (1–10) is assessed from publicly available product data. Our evaluation is science-based, not marketing-based.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein and fat content from beef and organ meats, which are very nutrient-dense for obligate carnivores like cats.
  • Formulated to be AAFCO complete and balanced for adult maintenance, so it can safely contribute a meaningful portion of daily calories if desired.
  • Includes beneficial ingredients such as fish oil (omega-3s), taurine, choline, and B vitamins to support overall health needs of adult cats.
  • Uses organ meats (liver, kidney, spleen) that provide natural sources of vitamins and minerals in addition to the premix.

Considerations

  • Beef is a common protein allergen for some cats, so this would not be appropriate for cats with known beef sensitivities.
  • At 258 kcal per cup and relatively high fat, it is quite calorie-dense, so portions should be measured carefully to avoid unwanted weight gain.
  • Fiber is relatively high for a cat product (up to 15% max), which may not suit all cats, especially those that do better on lower-fiber diets.
  • As a freeze-dried raw product, it is more minimally processed but may not be ideal for severely immunocompromised pets or households where raw-type products are a concern.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
02
Beef Spleen
Beef spleen is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats for dogs and cats as a nutrient-dense protein and a natural source of bioavailable iron, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support red blood cell health and palatability, but should be included as part of a balanced diet because organ meats are concentrated in certain nutrients (notably iron and purines), may be unsuitable for pets with iron-overload or urate stone issues, and should be properly processed or cooked to reduce pathogen risk.
03
Beef Kidney
Beef kidney is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods as a high-quality protein and nutrient-dense inclusion that contributes B vitamins (notably B12 and riboflavin), iron, copper, selenium and attractive flavor for palatability. It can be a beneficial addition for both dogs and cats but should be included in moderation because organ meats are relatively high in minerals and purines and may need restriction for animals with kidney or urate-related conditions, and raw or improperly handled kidney can pose food-safety risks.
04
Pumpkin Seed
Pumpkin seed is used in pet foods and supplements as a source of fiber, plant protein, healthy fats and micronutrients (such as magnesium, zinc and iron), plus antioxidants that can support digestion, skin/coat condition and overall nutrient balance in dogs and cats. They contain cucurbitin, a compound traditionally associated with parasite control and can help firm stools and support urinary/prostate health, but are calorie‑dense and may cause gastrointestinal upset or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible pets, so seeds should be unsalted, properly processed, and never substituted for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
05
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
