Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken broth and chicken are the main ingredients, which makes this very palatable for most cats.
  • The very high moisture content can help support overall water intake, especially in cats that don’t drink much.
  • Each treat is low in calories, so it’s easier to use without adding a lot of extra energy to the diet.
  • The short, straightforward ingredient list is helpful if you prefer simpler treats without many extras.

Considerations

  • This is not a complete and balanced diet, so it must be fed with a regular, nutritionally complete cat food.
  • Chicken is a common allergen for some cats, so it’s not a good choice if your cat is sensitive to poultry.
  • Protein and fat levels are quite low, so this should stay as a topper or treat, not a major calorie source.

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
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
04
Yeast Extract
Yeast extract is a concentrated, water‑soluble ingredient used primarily as a natural flavor enhancer and palatant in pet foods, while also supplying soluble proteins, free amino acids, nucleotides and B‑group vitamins. It can improve palatability and provide small supportive nutrients for metabolism and digestive/immune health, but may contain notable sodium and could be a concern for animals with yeast sensitivity or those on sodium‑restricted or renal prescription diets—consult your veterinarian if unsure.
05
Guar Gum
Guar gum is a soluble plant-derived fiber commonly used in pet foods as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier to improve texture, moisture retention and prevent separation in wet foods, gravies and coatings. It provides little nutritional value beyond soluble fiber—which can help stool consistency and modestly slow digestion—but excessive amounts may cause gastrointestinal upset or affect nutrient absorption, so it is used at controlled low levels and is generally considered safe for most dogs and cats.
