You Can Add These Toppings to Fido’s Food
No one likes a bland dinner! Next time you scoop out Fido’s food, consider adding some extra treats or toppers to excite their routine; Canines have a fraction of the tastebuds as humans, but their nose has millions more scent receptors than us! Dogs enjoy having new smells and colors in their food to make it more interesting. Sick or ill pets might also lose their appetite from digestive issues; adding some variety to their breakfast may encourage them to try it! We rounded up the best food toppers with the most nutritional value for Fido; however, we always recommend talking to your Veterinarian and monitoring your pet’s digestive behaviors after.

Nothing pets love more than their human’s food! Adding some cooked food on top of kibble entices your pet to gobble it down and feel like one of the family. These items should be chopped to roughly the size of dog food pebbles; otherwise, your pet could choke or yak their dinner back up, which is never ideal.
