Supplementing your dog’s regular diet with added protein may just change the way your dog thinks about dinner. Whether your dog gets quickly bored with meals, is a certified picky eater, or just needs a healthy nutritional boost, these dog food toppers may help.
Freeze-dried raw products are a safe and convenient way to add raw foods to your dog’s diet. These foods are shelf-stable yet minimally processed.
Why Add Dog Food Toppers?
Dog food toppers are a great way to add interest and healthy calories to your dog’s daily meals. What’s more, a mix-in goes great in a KONG with a little peanut butter or yogurt—handy when you need to keep your dog busy while you get things done. (Need it to last longer? Freeze it!) See more Kong filling recipes here.
In addition to freeze-dried raw meal mixers, there are a variety of tasty additions you can make to liven up a meal both nutritionally and in the flavor department.
Try salmon oil, tripe, duck hearts, a scrambled egg, or even a scoop of yogurt to get your dog on the chuck wagon. You can also make a quick dog-safe gravy in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Note: Some reviewers for these toppers did note that the fat content in many of these mix-ins can upset sensitive stomachs. As with all new foods, gradually introduce these to your furry best friend, and keep an eye out for vomiting or diarrhea.
