Learn how to use a chicken food topper to boost your dog's meal. Get step-by-step tips for sprinkling, mixing, and storing toppers for picky eaters.

Quick Answer

Sprinkle a small amount of Thrive ProTaste Chicken Food Topper over your dog's regular meal and mix it in. Start with less than a teaspoon for small dogs and adjust based on your dog's size and preference.

Why Use a Food Topper?

A dog food topper can make mealtime more appealing, especially for picky eaters. It adds flavor and texture without replacing a complete and balanced diet. Thrive ProTaste Chicken Food Topper is made from 100% chicken breast fillets, freeze-dried and milled to a powder, so it's a natural way to enhance your dog's meal.

Choosing the Right Portion

The right amount depends on your dog's size and how much they need to be tempted. Start with a small sprinkle and increase gradually if your dog remains uninterested. Since the topper is a supplement, it should not replace the main food.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Chicken Food Topper

  1. Start with a small amount: Begin with a pinch or a quarter teaspoon for small dogs, up to a teaspoon for larger breeds. Sprinkle it evenly over the food. A common mistake is using too much at first, which can overwhelm the meal and waste the topper.
  2. Mix it in gently: Stir the topper into the food so the flavor is distributed. Some dogs prefer it mixed, while others like it on top. Try both to see what your dog prefers. If your dog eats the topper but leaves the kibble, mix more thoroughly next time.
  3. Observe your dog's response: Watch how eagerly your dog eats. If they finish the meal, you've found the right amount. If they still hesitate, gradually increase the amount over several days. Don't increase the amount more than necessary; the goal is to enhance, not replace, the meal.
  4. Store the topper properly: Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry place. Since it's freeze-dried, moisture can cause clumping or spoilage. Use a clean, dry spoon each time. Always reseal the bag or container tightly after use to maintain freshness.
