Bountiful Bone Broth is built around bone broth as the first ingredient: grass-fed beef bone broth in one recipe and cage-free chicken bone broth in the other. Both follow it with organic squash, tapioca and gelatin, and both are labeled for all life stages and all breeds. Neither recipe contains grain, peas, lentils or potato.
The two recipes differ only a little. Protein runs from 1% to 3% as fed, fat is 0.1% in both, and moisture sits at 96% to 97%. Calories run from 77 to 97 per pouch. The catalog average for the 266 toppers we track is 18.4% protein, so this line sits far below it, since nearly all of each pouch is water. The topper average for estimated starch is 11.1%, but the data gives no starch figure for these two recipes.
The trade-off is plain. These pouches add liquid to a bowl, not much protein or fat. Owners who want a topper that adds real substance to a meal will find higher protein toppers in the catalog, while owners who want to moisten dry food with very little fat get what the label shows.
