Bountiful Bone Broth Cage-Free Chicken Topper
This is a chicken bone broth topper for dogs that’s mainly designed to add flavor, moisture, and a small amount of extra protein to regular meals. It features chicken bone broth with squash, pumpkin seeds, and warming spices like ginger and turmeric. It’s best used as a supplement to a complete dog food rather than as a primary diet.

Strong Choice
This broth topper is a nice option if you’re looking to make your dog’s regular food more enticing and increase their fluid intake. It provides modest protein from chicken bone broth and gelatin, with very low fat and calories. It is not a complete and balanced diet, so it should always be fed on top of a regular dog food that meets AAFCO standards.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very high moisture content can help support hydration, especially for dogs that do not drink much water.
- Chicken bone broth and gelatin add some extra protein and collagen on top of the main diet.
- Low fat and relatively low calories make it easy to add without significantly changing total calorie intake.
- Simple ingredient list may suit dogs whose owners prefer fewer added components in toppers.
Considerations
- This is a topper only and does not provide complete and balanced nutrition on its own.
- Chicken is the main animal ingredient, so it is not appropriate for dogs with chicken allergies.
- The protein level is quite low, so it should not be relied on to meet a dog’s protein needs.
- Spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon are generally safe in these amounts, but may not suit every very sensitive dog.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken Bone Broth
Chicken bone broth is commonly used as a palatability enhancer and hydration topper in dog and cat diets, supplying gelatin, collagen-derived amino acids and trace minerals that may support joint comfort and gut health while making food more appealing. It is not a complete food, so choose low-sodium, additive-free products (avoid broths containing onion, garlic or excessive fat), and ensure no bone fragments are present—use caution with pets that have pancreatitis, sodium-sensitive conditions, or known food sensitivities.
02
Squash
Squash is used in pet foods as a low‑calorie vegetable ingredient that provides digestible fiber, moisture and nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a vitamin A precursor), vitamin C and potassium, which can support digestive health, weight management and antioxidant protection. It is generally safe for dogs and cats when cooked or pureed but offers limited protein for obligate carnivores, so owners should avoid salted or seasoned preparations, remove seeds, and introduce it gradually to prevent gastrointestinal upset.

03
Pumpkin Seed
Pumpkin seed is used in pet foods and supplements as a source of fiber, plant protein, healthy fats and micronutrients (such as magnesium, zinc and iron), plus antioxidants that can support digestion, skin/coat condition and overall nutrient balance in dogs and cats. They contain cucurbitin, a compound traditionally associated with parasite control and can help firm stools and support urinary/prostate health, but are calorie‑dense and may cause gastrointestinal upset or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible pets, so seeds should be unsalted, properly processed, and never substituted for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
04
Tapioca
Tapioca is a processed starch from the cassava root commonly used in pet foods and treats as a gluten-free carbohydrate, binder and thickening agent, providing easily digestible calories but very little protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. While useful in hypoallergenic or grain-free formulations, it has limited nutritional value and a high glycemic index, so it should be used in moderation—especially for overweight or diabetic dogs and cats—and only in properly processed form to avoid cassava-related toxins.

05
Gelatin
Gelatin, a collagen-derived gelling agent and binder, is commonly used in pet treats, chews and wet foods to improve texture, moisture retention and as an ingredient in joint or skin supplements. It provides collagen-related amino acids (e.g., glycine and proline) that may support joint and coat health but is not a complete protein—lacking essential amino acids such as tryptophan and taurine—so it should not replace balanced animal protein; source and quality (bovine vs. porcine) can matter for dietary preferences and safety concerns.
