MedalSeries Chicken in Broth Recipe Topper

Verified Jun 7, 2026

Cat · Topper All Breed Sizes

A simple, shredded chicken topper for cats, this pouch provides extra animal protein and moisture to complement a regular complete and balanced diet. It contains just chicken and chicken broth, making it appealing for picky eaters or cats that benefit from more hydration and flavor on their food. This works best as an add-on to your cat’s usual diet rather than a stand-alone meal.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

This is a high-moisture chicken topper with a very short ingredient list, which can be helpful for cats that enjoy extra flavor, protein, and hydration on top of their regular food. Because it’s a complementary food, it’s meant to be used alongside a complete and balanced cat diet, not as the only source of nutrition. It can suit most adult cats, especially those that like chicken and benefit from a bit of extra moisture in their diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very limited ingredients (chicken and chicken broth), which is helpful for ingredient simplicity and can be easier to interpret for cats with sensitive stomachs.
  • Good moisture content to support hydration, especially useful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Provides additional animal-based protein from chicken to enhance the protein profile of a base diet.
  • Moderate calorie density for a topper, allowing you to boost palatability without adding excessive calories if used in small amounts.

Considerations

  • Labeled as a complementary food, so it does not provide complete and balanced nutrition on its own and must be fed with a full cat diet.
  • Contains chicken, which is a common food allergen for some cats; it would not be suitable for cats with known chicken allergies.
  • Very low fat content, so it should not be relied on as a major calorie source for underweight or high-energy cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
02
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
