Top Pick
Nutritionally, this is a well-formulated fat and calorie supplement with a nice balance of protein and very high fat, plus omega fatty acids from algal oil and coconut. The addition of probiotics and enzyme-containing fermentation products is a thoughtful touch for digestive support. It’s best suited for dogs that truly need extra calories or conditioning on top of a complete and balanced diet, rather than as a routine add-on for every dog.

Strengths
- Very high fat content with moderate protein makes it useful for safe calorie boosting in dogs that need to gain or maintain weight.
- Uses egg yolk, cheese, coconut, and algal oil, which together provide energy, essential fatty acids, and support for skin and coat quality.
- Includes multiple probiotic strains and fermentation extracts that may support healthy digestion when used consistently.
- Powder format with small daily volumes makes it easier to add significant calories without overfilling the stomach.
Considerations
- This is a calorie-dense supplement, so it is not appropriate for overweight dogs or those prone to weight gain.
- Contains egg and dairy, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known egg or milk allergies or sensitivities.
- As a supplement intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, it must be used alongside a complete and balanced dog food.
- The high fat level may not suit dogs with a history of pancreatitis or fat-sensitive digestive issues without veterinary guidance.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Egg Yolk
Egg yolk is used in pet foods as a concentrated source of highly digestible protein, fats, and fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D, E), plus choline, biotin and carotenoids, and also serves as an emulsifier and palatability enhancer for dogs and cats. It can support skin, coat, cognitive and immune health but is calorie‑dense and may be unsuitable for overweight or pancreatitis‑prone pets; raw eggs can carry Salmonella and, while yolks supply biotin, raw egg whites can interfere with biotin absorption, so cooking or veterinary guidance is recommended.
02
Parmesan Cheese
Parmesan cheese is used in pet foods and as a treat primarily as a palatability enhancer and occasional source of concentrated protein, fat and calcium; because it is an aged cheese it contains very little lactose compared with fresh dairy. It is calorie‑dense and high in sodium and fat, so it should only be given in very small amounts as an occasional treat and avoided or limited for pets with pancreatitis, obesity, sodium‑sensitive conditions or known dairy intolerance.
03
Coconut Flake
Coconut flake is used in pet foods and treats mainly for flavor, texture and as a source of dietary fiber and medium‑chain saturated fats (MCTs), contributing calories and small amounts of micronutrients like manganese. While MCTs can support coat condition and provide readily usable energy, coconut flakes are high in saturated fat and calories and should be used sparingly—avoid sweetened or xylitol‑containing products and exercise caution in pets prone to pancreatitis or obesity, and remember cats are obligate carnivores with limited nutritional need for plant‑based ingredients.
04
Algae Oil
Algae oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated source of omega‑3 fatty acids—primarily DHA—and serves as a sustainable, vegetarian alternative to fish oil to support skin and coat health, cognitive and retinal development, and anti‑inflammatory benefits in dogs and cats. It can be especially important for growing kittens and pregnant or nursing females who require preformed DHA, but it is calorie‑dense and can oxidize if not properly preserved, so products should come from reputable manufacturers and be dosed appropriately to avoid gastrointestinal upset or nutrient imbalances.
05
DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate
DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate is a synthetic, stabilized form of vitamin E commonly used in pet foods as a vitamin fortificant and antioxidant to protect fats and other nutrients from oxidation. It supplies vitamin E activity important for skin, coat and immune health in dogs and cats, but the DL (synthetic) form is somewhat less bioavailable than natural D‑alpha‑tocopherol so manufacturers adjust levels accordingly, and excessive supplemental vitamin E should be avoided to prevent nutrient imbalances.
