Raw Boost Mixers Multivitamin Topper for Adult Cats 7+
Verified Jun 9, 2026
A high-protein, freeze-dried raw topper made from beef organs and muscle meat, designed to be added to the diet of adult and senior cats 7 years and older. It provides concentrated vitamins, minerals, taurine, omega-3s from fish oil, and added probiotics to complement a complete diet. This can be useful for cats who could benefit from extra nutrient density, joint and cognitive support, or a tastier meal to encourage eating.
Nutritionally, this is a dense, high-protein, high-fat freeze-dried raw topper with beef and beef organs as primary ingredients, offering a wide range of vitamins, minerals, taurine, and omega-3s. It’s formulated to AAFCO maintenance standards, so it can function as a complete diet, but in practice it’s best used as a nutrient-rich topper for adult and senior cats. It’s a strong option for otherwise healthy older cats who tolerate beef and do well with higher protein and fat levels.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Beef and organ meats (kidney, spleen, liver) provide highly bioavailable protein, iron, and natural vitamins and minerals that are valuable for aging cats.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it is fully balanced from a vitamin and mineral standpoint even when used generously as a topper.
- Includes fish oil, EPA/DHA, taurine, green mussel, turmeric, and coconut oil, which together support joints, cognitive function, and overall wellness in older cats.
- Added probiotics (Bacillus coagulans) and multiple fiber sources may help support a healthy digestive tract.
Considerations
- Beef is a common protein allergen for some cats; this won’t be suitable if your cat has a known beef sensitivity or suspected food allergy to beef or fish.
- Very calorie-dense (about 254 kcal per cup) with high fat content, so portions need to be small and the main diet reduced accordingly to avoid unwanted weight gain, especially in less active seniors.
- Uses yeast culture and multiple plant ingredients (pumpkinseeds, sweet potato, beets, spinach, squash), which are fine for most cats but may not be ideal for very strict elimination diets.
- Despite being complete and balanced by formulation, it is marketed and best used as a topper; feeding it as the sole diet should be done only under veterinary guidance to ensure it suits your individual cat’s health status.

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
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.
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
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.
05
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
