MedalSeries Cat & Kitten Chicken & Chicken Liver Stew Wet Food

Verified Jun 6, 2026

Cat · Wet Kitten Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a wet chicken-based stew for kittens and adult cats, providing high moisture and moderate protein from chicken and chicken liver. Pumpkin and inulin add gentle fiber, while salmon oil contributes beneficial fats. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for all life stages, so it can be used as a primary diet for most healthy cats and growing kittens.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

A high-moisture, chicken-forward stew that offers complete and balanced nutrition for kittens and adults, with organ meat (chicken liver) boosting nutrient density. The formula uses animal protein as the foundation and includes added taurine and a full complement of vitamins and chelated minerals. It’s a solid option for cats who do well on chicken and benefit from extra hydration, though the relatively modest fat level may not suit very high-energy or underweight cats as well as richer formulas.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and chicken liver are the lead ingredients, providing high-quality, species-appropriate animal protein and micronutrients.
  • Very high moisture (83%) helps support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, meaning it’s appropriate for kittens, adults, and pregnant/nursing queens when fed as directed.
  • Includes taurine at a clearly stated level (0.1% as-fed) plus chelated minerals and salmon oil, which can support overall health and omega-3 intake.

Considerations

  • Chicken and chicken liver are common triggers for food allergies in some cats, so this would not be a good choice for cats who react to poultry.
  • The minimum fat content (3% as-fed) is on the leaner side for a wet cat food, which may be less ideal for very active, growing, or hard-to-keep-weight-on cats.
  • Uses multiple gums (xanthan and guar gum) as thickeners; most cats tolerate these well, but a small number with very sensitive digestion may do better without them.

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.
03
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
04
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.
05
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used as a concentrated fat source and palatability enhancer in dog and cat diets, providing medium-chain triglycerides (notably lauric acid) that can be rapidly metabolized for energy and may help support skin and coat condition. Because it is high in saturated fat and calories, coconut oil should be used sparingly and introduced gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset, and pets with obesity or a history of pancreatitis should only use it under veterinary guidance.
