Purrfect Broths Grain Free Creamy Chicken Recipe Topper
Verified Aug 29, 2026
This is a creamy chicken broth topper for adult cats, designed to be used as a treat or to add moisture and flavor to their regular food. It features chicken broth and real chicken as key ingredients, with vegetables and a bit of coconut milk for added palatability. The very high moisture content makes it useful for encouraging fluid intake in cats that enjoy lickable textures.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a light, high‑moisture topper or treat rather than a complete diet, so it should be fed alongside a balanced cat food. It offers animal-based protein from chicken and fish protein concentrate with a very low fat content and a broth-style texture that many cats find appealing. It can work well for cats who need encouragement to eat or drink more, as long as their main diet is complete and balanced.

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
- High moisture content can help support overall water intake, which is particularly helpful for cats that don’t drink much on their own.
- Uses identifiable animal protein sources (chicken and fish protein concentrate) rather than vague or unnamed meats.
- Relatively simple ingredient list without added sugars or artificial colors, making it easier to assess for sensitivities.
- Moderate calorie content per pouch (about 26 kcal), making it easier to use as a controlled treat or topper without heavily impacting daily calorie intake.
Considerations
- This is labeled and formulated as a supplemental topper/treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should not replace a regular cat food.
- Chicken and fish are both common feline allergens, so this product is not a good fit for cats with known sensitivities to those proteins.
- The low fat content means this should not be relied on for calorie-dense support; cats that need to gain weight still require a more energy-dense main diet.
- Contains salt, which is fine in small topper quantities but should still be used in moderation, especially in cats with conditions where sodium intake is being closely managed.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
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.

03
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is used in pet foods mainly as a dairy‑free, high‑fat moisture and flavor enhancer and provides medium‑chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can serve as a concentrated energy source. It is low in protein and most essential nutrients—cats in particular gain little nutritional benefit—and because it is calorie‑dense it can cause gastrointestinal upset, weight gain, or trigger pancreatitis in susceptible animals, so it should be used sparingly and commercial varieties without added sugars or thickening agents are preferable.
04
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.

05
Fish Protein Concentrate
Fish protein concentrate is a concentrated animal protein ingredient derived from fish processing, commonly used in dog and cat foods to boost overall protein content, enhance palatability, and supply essential amino acids. It tends to be highly digestible and nutritious, but levels of taurine and omega‑3 oils can vary with processing, and owners should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of reputable sourcing to minimize contaminants like heavy metals or histamine.
