Bowl Boosters Functional Freeze Dried Immune Health Topper
Verified Jun 20, 2026
A freeze-dried functional topper designed to be added to a complete dog food to boost variety and micronutrients. It relies on fruits and vegetables like cranberries, sweet potatoes, papaya, blueberries, and carrots, along with flaxseed, kelp, and added vitamins and minerals. This topper is aimed at supporting overall wellness and immune health rather than serving as a main source of protein or calories.
This is a nice fruit- and veggie-focused topper to add some extra flavor, fiber, and micronutrients to your dog’s regular balanced diet. It uses recognizable plant ingredients plus added vitamins, minerals, and taurine, which can complement many commercial foods. Because it’s very low in protein and designed only as a complement, it should be used in small amounts on top of a complete food, not as a stand-alone diet.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Made with a variety of whole fruits and vegetables (cranberries, sweet potatoes, papaya, blueberries, carrots) that can add antioxidants and fiber to the diet.
- Includes flaxseed and dried kelp, which can contribute omega fatty acids and trace minerals.
- Fortified with key nutrients like zinc, vitamin E, vitamin D3, B vitamins, and taurine to help support overall nutritional balance when used with a complete food.
- Clear statement that it is a complementary topper, which helps prevent misuse as a sole diet.
Considerations
- Very low in protein and fat, so it does not meet a dog’s basic nutrient needs on its own and must be fed only as a small topper along with a complete and balanced dog food.
- Contains puffed brown rice; while rice is rarely allergenic, this may not be ideal for dogs on strict grain-free or very low-carbohydrate plans prescribed by a veterinarian.
- Cranberries, blueberries, and other fruits add natural sugars; usually fine in topper amounts, but portions should stay modest for dogs needing strict calorie or sugar control.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Cranberry
Cranberries are used in pet foods and supplements as a source of fiber and antioxidants (notably polyphenols/proanthocyanidins) and are commonly included for their potential urinary tract–supporting properties in dogs and cats. While these compounds may help inhibit bacterial adhesion in the urinary tract, scientific evidence in pets is limited, and owners should choose unsweetened, preservative-free preparations (avoiding products sweetened with xylitol), watch for gastrointestinal upset or effects on urine pH, and consult a veterinarian for pets with urinary stones or taking certain medications.
02
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.
03
Papaya
Papaya is a tropical fruit used in pet foods and treats as a natural flavor, source of soluble fiber and vitamins (notably vitamins A and C and folate), and for the digestive enzyme papain which can assist protein digestion. In small amounts it can provide antioxidants and ease digestion for dogs and cats, but its high sugar content and the potential for gastrointestinal irritation or allergic reactions mean seeds and unripe latex should be avoided and ripe flesh fed only in moderation, particularly for diabetic pets.
04
Blueberry
Blueberries are used in pet foods and treats as a low‑calorie source of dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C) and antioxidant phytochemicals (anthocyanins), providing natural color and mild flavor. They may support general antioxidant and digestive health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats (obligate carnivores), but should be offered in moderation due to natural sugars and possible gastrointestinal upset, and owners should avoid products with added sweeteners (especially xylitol) or harmful preservatives.
05
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
