Supplemental food (topper). A topper or side dish, not a complete meal — feed it alongside a complete food, never as your cat's only food. There's no overall grade for it — Furry PI grades complete diets — but the label read below still shows what's inside.

Furry PI's verdict

Applaws Broth Pouch is a supplemental food — a topper or side dish to serve alongside a complete diet, not a meal on its own. That is also why it carries no overall grade: Furry PI grades complete diets only. On the label itself, chicken breast leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. Worth noting: wild rice sits high on the list without being animal protein. The app reads the full ingredient list for you.

What's concerning

  • Among its leading ingredients, wild rice isn't counted as animal protein, and the top of the list is where cats need meat most.

What works

  • Chicken breast leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • A strong share of its calories comes from protein.
  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.

A topper has no overall grade — but the free app still reads its label in full: every ingredient identified and explained, plus complete foods worth serving it on top of.
