Strong Choice
This is a high-quality freeze-dried raw topper that offers very concentrated protein and fat from a mix of rabbit, pork, and nutrient-dense organ meats. It’s best used to enhance a complete and balanced cat food, rather than as the only diet. It can suit adult cats who enjoy raw-style foods or need extra calories and palatability added to their meals.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Rabbit, pork, and organ meats provide highly digestible, nutrient-rich animal protein.
- Freeze-dried raw format keeps nutrients concentrated while being more convenient than fresh raw diets.
- Includes fruits, vegetables, flaxseed, and chicory root, which can support gut health and stool quality.
- Very calorie-dense, so a small amount can significantly boost protein and energy in the bowl.
Considerations
- This is a topper or treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should not replace a full cat food.
- Contains pork and fish oil, which may be an issue for cats with pork or fish allergies.
- High calorie density means portions need to be small and current food should be reduced to prevent weight gain.
- Raw-style foods may not be ideal for severely immunocompromised pets without talking to your veterinarian first.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Rabbit
Rabbit is used in pet foods as a novel or alternative animal protein source for dogs and cats, prized for lean, highly digestible muscle protein and often selected for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids and low fat, but owners should choose complete, balanced formulations (cats especially need adequate taurine), be mindful of mineral imbalances if bone-in/whole‑prey ingredients are included, and avoid improperly handled raw rabbit due to food‑safety risks.

02
Rabbit Bone
Rabbit bone is used in raw or minimally processed pet diets and treats as a natural source of calcium and phosphorus, helping support skeletal and dental health and contributing to overall mineral balance for both dogs and cats. However, whole or large bones can splinter and pose choking, dental fracture, or gastrointestinal obstruction risks (cooked bones are particularly hazardous) and raw bones may carry bacterial pathogens, so bone-containing formulations should be properly processed and nutritionally balanced and owners should consult their veterinarian before offering bones or bone-rich products.
03
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.

04
Pork Liver
Pork liver is an organ meat used in pet foods as a nutrient‑dense source of high‑quality protein and concentrated vitamins and minerals—notably vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper—that support red blood cell production, skin/coat condition and overall metabolism. Because liver is very rich in vitamin A and certain minerals, it should be included in limited amounts to avoid hypervitaminosis A or mineral imbalances and must be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk; pets with urinary stone issues or a pork sensitivity should use caution.
05
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.
