Pet food toppers

Freeze-Dried Pet Food Toppers

A freeze-dried pet food topper is exactly what the name says: a small amount of dried meat, poultry or fish used as a topping, a flavor enhancer or a supplemental ingredient over a pet's usual food. The one rule that governs this page: a topper is never described as nutritionally complete or balanced unless it has actually been formulated and verified as such.

General Recipe Supplemental by definition; no adequacy claims.

Topping

Freeze-dried meat, poultry or fish bits sprinkle over the bowl as a visible, appetizing addition that softens in the food's moisture.

Flavor enhancer

The concentrated meat flavor encourages picky eaters and adds variety without changing the base diet.

Supplemental ingredient

Small amounts add variety on top of a complete base diet, always in addition to, never instead of, the pet's usual food.

What a Topper Is Not

A topper is not a meal. It does not replace a complete and balanced diet, and it should never be labeled or implied to be one without genuine formulation and verification. Portion size, frequency and appropriateness are veterinary questions, not homepage questions.
