This is a low-calorie, gel-style chicken treat for cats, made primarily from chicken broth and chicken.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a light, hydrating treat with real chicken and chicken broth as the key ingredients, offering a bit of extra protein and flavor without many added calories. It’s best suited for cats who enjoy lickable or soft treats, and for owners looking for a lower-fat option. As with any treat, it should complement a complete and balanced main diet rather than replace it.

Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Real chicken and chicken broth are the main ingredients, providing animal-based protein and good palatability for most cats.
- Very low in fat and calories per serving, which can be useful for cats who need their treat calories kept in check.
- High moisture content can help support overall water intake, especially in cats that don’t drink much on their own.
- Simple, limited-ingredient formula may suit some cats that do better with fewer extra ingredients.
Considerations
- This is a treat, not a complete and balanced food, so it should make up no more than about 10% of your cat’s daily intake.
- Contains multiple gums (guar, agar, xanthan) as thickeners; these are generally safe but may not agree with the digestion of a small number of sensitive cats.
- Chicken is a common food allergen for cats, so this wouldn’t be appropriate for cats with known chicken allergies.

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
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.
04
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.
05
Agar
Agar is a seaweed-derived gelling agent and thickener commonly used in pet foods and treats to create firm textures, stabilize wet formulas, and act as a vegetarian binder, contributing soluble but largely indigestible fiber rather than significant protein or calories. Generally safe and useful for texture and stool-bulking, it provides little direct nutrition for dogs or cats and can cause loose stools or gastrointestinal upset if used in excess, so it should be included at appropriate levels in balanced formulations.
