Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-forward topper that can boost the protein and fat content of your dog’s regular diet. The salmon, whitefish, and herring oil supply high-quality animal protein and omega fatty acids, while the simple ingredient list is appealing for dogs who do better with fewer added components. It’s best used in small amounts on top of a complete and balanced dog food rather than as a sole diet.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Salmon and whitefish provide high-quality animal protein as the main ingredients.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and offers a convenient raw-style option.
- Herring oil adds a concentrated source of omega fatty acids to support skin and coat health.
- Short, straightforward ingredient list with no added grains or artificial colors or flavors.
Considerations
- This topper is not labeled as a complete and balanced diet, so it should not replace your dog’s regular food.
- The high fat content may be too rich for dogs with a history of pancreatitis or those needing lower-fat diets.
- Contains fish, which can be an issue for dogs with known fish allergies.

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
Whitefish
Whitefish (such as pollock, cod, or haddock) is commonly used in pet foods as a lean animal protein source that provides high‑quality essential amino acids, good digestibility, and some omega‑3 fatty acids to support skin, coat and muscle maintenance. While generally palatable and useful for weight‑managed formulas, pet parents should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of responsible sourcing and processing to minimize contaminants; cats also require adequate dietary taurine, so whitefish should be part of a complete, balanced diet.
03
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

04
Broccoli
Broccoli is used as a low‑calorie vegetable additive or treat ingredient rather than a protein source, providing fiber, vitamins (A, K, folate), minerals and antioxidants like sulforaphane that can support digestion and cellular health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. It should be offered in small, plain, cooked or finely chopped portions because raw or large amounts can cause gas, gastrointestinal upset, choking, and—if fed excessively—potential thyroid interference from cruciferous compounds; avoid added seasonings such as onion or garlic.

05
Apple
Apple is used in pet foods as a fruit ingredient that supplies soluble fiber (pectin), natural flavor, moisture, and small amounts of vitamins and antioxidants. It can support digestion and add low‑calorie sweetness, but seeds and cores should be avoided because of cyanogenic compounds, apples are relatively high in natural sugars so should be used in moderation (and washed to remove pesticides), and cats—being obligate carnivores—gain less nutritional benefit than dogs.
