Strong Choice
This is a supplemental powder rather than a complete diet, intended to be used alongside your dog’s regular food, especially for adult and senior dogs who may benefit from extra calories and protein. The formula centers on dairy proteins and rice flour with added fats, omega fatty acids, and vitamins. It can work well for dogs that need a tasty way to take in more nutrition, as long as it stays under about 10% of their daily calories.

Strengths
- Provides a relatively high level of protein from milk-derived ingredients to help support muscle maintenance in adult and senior dogs.
- Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which can support skin, coat, and joint comfort over time.
- Contains added vitamin E and taurine, which can help support immune function and heart health in many dogs.
- Flexible powder form can be mixed with water, used to soften kibble, or sprinkled as a topper to encourage eating.
Considerations
- This is not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be used as a supplement and kept under 10% of daily calories.
- The dairy-based ingredients may not be suitable for dogs with known milk or dairy sensitivities.
- Contains synthetic preservatives BHA and BHT, which are considered safe but some owners prefer to avoid them.
- Rice flour and maltodextrins add calories but don’t provide as much nutrient density as the protein and fat components.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Rice Flour
Rice flour is a finely milled carbohydrate ingredient commonly used in pet foods as a digestible energy source and as a binder or thickener in kibble, treats, and wet food formulations. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and cats and low in fat, but offers limited protein and essential amino acids (so it should complement animal protein sources), can increase dietary glycemic load which may be relevant for diabetic or weight‑management pets, and may carry low levels of inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing and processing.
02
Skim Milk
Skim milk is a low‑fat dairy ingredient commonly used in pet foods as a source of high‑quality animal protein, calcium and water‑soluble vitamins, and to improve palatability, texture and binding in formulations. While it can provide useful nutrients, many adult dogs and especially cats are partially lactose intolerant and may experience gastrointestinal upset, and it should be used cautiously in pets with lactose sensitivity, milk protein allergies or those needing strict carbohydrate or calorie control.
03
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
04
Animal Fat
Animal fat is used in pet foods as a concentrated energy source and palatability enhancer, and can provide fat-soluble vitamin absorption and essential fatty acids (including arachidonic and linoleic acids, depending on the source) that support skin, coat and overall cellular function—particularly important for obligate carnivores like cats. Because it is calorie-dense and prone to oxidation, fats are typically rendered and stabilized; owners should be aware that high-fat diets can contribute to obesity and may trigger pancreatitis in susceptible dogs, so quality, source, and total dietary fat should be considered.
05
BHA
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) is a synthetic antioxidant commonly used in pet foods to prevent fat oxidation and rancidity, helping preserve flavor, fats and fat‑soluble vitamins; it is not a nutritional ingredient for dogs or cats. Although approved for use at regulated low levels, some laboratory studies have linked high doses to cancer risk, so some manufacturers and pet owners prefer natural alternatives (e.g., mixed tocopherols) and those with concerns should discuss options with their veterinarian.
