MedalSeries Classic Turkey Bone Broth Topper
Verified Jun 3, 2026
This is a low-calorie turkey bone broth topper for dogs and cats, designed mainly to add moisture and flavor to their regular meals. It uses turkey bones simmered in filtered water with vegetables and herbs like celery, carrots, parsley, thyme, and turmeric. It can be useful for pets who need encouragement to eat or extra hydration with their food.
Nutritionally, this is a simple, very low-calorie broth meant to complement a complete diet, not replace it. The turkey bone base offers a small amount of protein and flavor, while the vegetable and herb mix is generally gentle and palatable for most pets. It’s a reasonable choice if you’re looking to boost palatability and moisture for a cat or dog that already eats a balanced food.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very low in calories, which makes it easy to add for palatability and hydration without significantly affecting overall calorie intake.
- Simple, recognizable ingredients centered around turkey bones, vegetables, and herbs, with no added sugars or artificial colors.
- High moisture content can help increase total water intake, which is especially helpful for cats or dogs that don’t drink much on their own.
- Formulated for both dogs and cats, which can be convenient for multi-pet households.
Considerations
- This is intended only for intermittent or supplemental feeding, so pets still need a complete and balanced primary diet.
- Turkey is an animal protein source, so this may not be appropriate for pets with known poultry allergies.
- The protein and fat content are very low, so it does not meaningfully contribute to daily nutrient requirements and should not be relied on for core nutrition.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
02
Turkey Bone
Turkey bone is used in pet food either ground into bone meal to provide dietary calcium, phosphorus and trace minerals, or offered whole/raw as chews in raw or frozen diets and treats. Bones can support skeletal health and provide dental abrasion when chewed, but cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal injury, raw bones may carry bacterial risk, and excessive or unbalanced bone inclusion can create calcium–phosphorus imbalances, so consult your veterinarian before feeding bone-containing products.
03
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is typically used in pet foods or supplements as a flavoring, acidity regulator and mild preservative rather than a significant source of nutrients, and it is sometimes added in small amounts to treats or diet toppers for palatability or anecdotal digestive support for dogs and cats. Raw, unfiltered varieties contain the “mother” which some claim has beneficial microbes, but evidence is limited, and concentrated vinegar can irritate the mouth, throat or stomach and may be contraindicated for animals with GI, kidney, or metabolic conditions—consult your veterinarian before use.
04
Celery
Celery is typically included as a low-calorie vegetable or crunchy flavor component in pet foods and treats, supplying water, fiber and small amounts of vitamins (A, C, K) and potassium. It can be a hydrating, low-calorie snack for dogs and an occasional garnish for cats, but offers limited nutritional value for obligate carnivores, so it should be fed in moderation, chopped to avoid choking, and thoroughly washed to remove pesticides or contaminants.
05
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.
