If you want to add a food topper to your pup’s kibble, we have you covered. Play trial and error to see what your dog prefers, and once you find something that gets gobbled up, stick with it. Or, if you have a less picky eater on your hands, switch it up every couple of days.
Eggs
We know that raw eggs probably don’t tickle your fancy, but they do intrigue dogs. Whether raw, scrambled, soft-boiled, or hard-boiled, your pup will most likely scarf it down. Raw eggs are safe for dogs because the yolks contain biotin, which kills off any harmful bacteria. If your pup is over 40 pounds, a whole egg once a day is fine. If they are between 20-40 pounds, try half an egg. Scale proportionately for dogs weighing less than 20 pounds.
Goat Milk
Goat milk meal toppers like Primal Pet Foods Goat Milk+ are filled with nutrients that support the urinary tract. The liquid moisturizes skin and hair, leaving your pup with a soft, silky coat.
Freeze-Dried Salmon
Freeze-dried meat tastes great to most dogs, but there’s something about freeze-dried salmon like Jinx Freeze-Dried Salmon Topper ($8.50, shop here) that makes even the pickiest eaters go wild.
Sardines
Sardines are a delicious add-on to any dog’s meal. They aren’t calorie-dense, and they are filled with omega-3 fatty acids. Start by feeding your pup a few sardines once or twice a week. Gradually increase to once daily if it becomes a hit.
Bone Broth
Pups go wild for this nutritious topper. All you have to do is pour some on top of their kibble, and mealtime becomes stew time! The liquid alone is hydrating and benefits gut health. Plus, the melted gelatin is great for improving joint and digestive health.
Powdered Food Toppers
Powdered food toppers act just like spices do to our meals. Add a little water to make the powdered additive more gravy-like if that’s the consistency your pup prefers. Flavors include peanut butter, red meat, chicken, cheese, and more.
