5 Benefits of Using Food Toppers for Cats and Dogs

1. Better Nutrition:

Most standard kibble lacks freshness and may fall short on nutrients over time. Food toppers can introduce:

• Omega-3s for coat health
• Probiotics for digestion
• Extra protein or fibre

2. Improved Appetite:

Toppers are ideal for dogs who’ve lost interest in their meals. The added scent and texture can reignite your dog’s appetite — especially helpful for senior dogs or post-surgery recovery.

3. Digestive Support:

Many toppers include ingredients like pumpkin, bone broth, or probiotics, all known to soothe the stomach and support gut health.

4. Joint & Immune Boosts:

Look for toppers with glucosamine, turmeric, or green-lipped mussel to support joint mobility and reduce inflammation naturally.

5. Variety Without Changing the Core Diet:

Rotating your dog’s main food can cause stomach upset. Toppers allow you to introduce new flavours and textures safely, without disrupting digestion.

🐕 When Should You Add a Food Topper?

Food toppers are great if:

• Your dog is a fussy eater
• They’ve recently lost weight or muscle tone
• You want to enhance a budget-friendly kibble
• Your vet suggests boosting protein or omega-3s
• You just want to spoil your pup in a healthy way
