Top That Gaze Salmon Recipe in Gravy Topper
Verified Jun 7, 2026
A moist salmon-based topper for adult dogs, designed to be added to a complete diet for extra flavor and nutrients. It uses salmon, salmon broth, and chicken liver as key animal ingredients, with added taurine, omega fatty acids, zinc, and vitamins C and E. This can be useful for enticing picky eaters or boosting moisture and palatability in your dog’s regular meals.
This is a flavorful, high-moisture topper that can make regular dog food more appealing while adding some extra protein, omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA), taurine, and antioxidant vitamins. It’s best used in combination with a complete and balanced dog food, not as the sole diet. It should suit most healthy adult dogs who tolerate salmon, chicken, and egg well and need a palatability boost or more moisture in their meals.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple animal protein sources (salmon, chicken liver, chicken, dried egg product) provide high-quality, highly digestible protein and essential amino acids.
- Very high moisture content (82%) helps increase your dog’s overall water intake when mixed with dry food.
- Includes omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), omega-6s, zinc, taurine, vitamin E, and vitamin C, which support skin, coat, and general health.
- Moderate calorie density (about 72 kcal per pouch) makes it easier to use as a topper without dramatically increasing daily calories if portions are controlled.
Considerations
- Formulated and labeled as a topper, not a complete diet, so it must be fed alongside a balanced dog food to meet all nutrient needs.
- Contains salmon, chicken, and egg, which are common protein allergens; dogs with known sensitivities to any of these ingredients should avoid this product.
- Includes dried peas and pea fiber, which are fine in small amounts for most dogs but may not be ideal as a main calorie source in dogs where legume-heavy diets are a concern (less of an issue here since this is a topper).
- Relatively low protein and fat percentages on an as-fed basis reflect its high water content; it is not designed to provide the bulk of your dog’s nutrition.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
02
Salmon Broth
Salmon broth is a savory liquid used in pet foods and as a meal topper to boost palatability and encourage hydration, supplying small amounts of protein, amino acids and omega‑3 fatty acids that can support skin and coat health in dogs and cats. It can help entice picky eaters and increase water intake, but owners should choose low‑sodium, commercially prepared broths free of onion/garlic or other toxic additives and be mindful of fish allergies or potential contaminants in fish‑derived ingredients.
03
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
04
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
05
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
