Lamb, Goat & Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Topper for Cats

Verified Aug 26, 2026

Cat · Topper All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw topper for cats made from lamb, goat, and chicken, designed to be added to your cat’s regular diet for extra flavor and nutrition. It also includes flaxseed, fruit superfoods like blueberries and cranberries, and added probiotics to support a healthy gut. Because it’s a supplemental topper rather than a complete food, it’s meant to enhance your cat’s meals, not replace their main balanced diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-based topper with very high protein and moderate fat, ideal for boosting the palatability and nutrient density of a complete cat diet. The use of multiple animal proteins plus added probiotics and antioxidant-rich fruits makes it a nice option for cats who enjoy strong flavors or need encouragement to eat. It is not a complete and balanced food, so it should only be used alongside a nutritionally complete base diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very high protein (48% as-fed) with lamb, goat, and chicken listed first, providing a strong animal-protein base.
  • Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and flavor, which can make it especially appealing to picky eaters when used as a topper.
  • Includes flaxseed and fruit ingredients like blueberries and cranberries, which contribute fiber and natural antioxidants.
  • Added probiotics (Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) may support digestive health for some cats.

Considerations

  • Lamb, goat, and chicken are all animal proteins, so this isn’t suitable for cats with sensitivities to these meats, especially chicken, which is a common allergen in cats.
  • Formulated for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it must be fed together with a complete and balanced cat food rather than as the sole diet.
  • At 3680 kcal/kg and 221 kcal per cup, it is quite calorie-dense; portions should be kept small, particularly for indoor or overweight-prone cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

02
Goat
Goat is used in pet foods as a novel animal protein source—lean and digestible meat that provides high-quality protein and nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, and is often chosen for dogs or cats with sensitivities to common proteins. While it can be a useful alternative in elimination diets, pet parents should ensure the product is formulated to be complete and balanced (including adequate taurine for cats), be aware individual animals can still react, and avoid feeding raw goat due to parasite and bacterial risks.

03
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.
View ingredient
04
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
View ingredient
05
Blueberry
Blueberries are used in pet foods and treats as a low‑calorie source of dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C) and antioxidant phytochemicals (anthocyanins), providing natural color and mild flavor. They may support general antioxidant and digestive health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats (obligate carnivores), but should be offered in moderation due to natural sugars and possible gastrointestinal upset, and owners should avoid products with added sweeteners (especially xylitol) or harmful preservatives.
