What are the Best Dog Food Toppers on the Market?
Welcome to The Dog Food Advisor’s picks for dog food toppers. Each month we’ll be adding a selection we think your dog will love so keep an eye out if these don’t work for you.
You’ll also receive them if you sign up for our dog food recall alerts and tip-filled newsletter.
As with our Best Dog Treats and Best Dog Dental Chews, we don’t analyze these in the same way we analyze dog food but we do look for good ingredients and no nasty additives.
What are dog food toppers?
Many dog parents will know the agony of trying to feed a fussy dog. They need the nutrients but for some reason would rather go hungry than eat perfectly good dog food.
It’s frustrating and worrying in equal measure.
While we have a Best Dog Foods for Picky Eaters list, another technique for getting your dog to eat is to add toppers to their food. They come in various forms, from fresh foods and wet foods used in small amounts to raw meat, cooked meat, fruits and specifically designed wet and dry toppers. Anything that will encourage dogs to eat their meals!
This video from Chewy gives you an idea. It mentions particular brands but they are Chewy’s choices (this doesn’t mean they’re bad, of course).
Here are our choices for Best Dog Food Toppers. We hope they leave you and your dog feeling on ‘topper’ the world!
