Chicken & Rabbit Freeze-Dried Raw Topper for Dogs

Verified Jun 7, 2026

Dog · Topper All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw topper made with chicken and rabbit as the main animal ingredients, designed to be added to your dog’s regular food. It’s very calorie-dense and includes fruits, herbs, and added probiotics, so a small amount can boost flavor and nutrition. Because it’s not complete and balanced on its own, it should be used alongside a nutritionally complete diet rather than as the only food.

KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-focused topper with very high protein and fat, making it well suited for boosting the taste and calorie content of a balanced base diet for most dogs. The inclusion of rabbit alongside chicken can add variety, and the added probiotics and fruits are a nice bonus. It’s not formulated as a complete diet, so it works best as a supplement to a regular complete and balanced food, and the high fat and calories mean portions should stay small, especially for dogs prone to weight gain or pancreatitis.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein (38% as-fed) and fat (30% as-fed) for a freeze-dried product, coming primarily from animal sources like chicken and rabbit.
  • Clearly labeled as an intermittent/supplemental topper, which helps ensure it’s used alongside a complete and balanced diet rather than as the sole food.
  • Includes flaxseed, blueberries, cranberries, and added probiotics (Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium), which can support digestive health and provide beneficial nutrients.
  • Very calorie-dense (about 4230 kcal/kg, 254 kcal per cup), so only a small amount is needed to enhance meals, especially for active or underweight dogs.

Considerations

  • Intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it should not replace a complete and balanced main diet.
  • Chicken is a common food allergen for dogs; this topper would not be appropriate for dogs with chicken sensitivities, and rabbit may also be an issue for dogs with multiple protein allergies.
  • The high fat content and calorie density may not suit dogs that are overweight, prone to pancreatitis, or require a lower-fat diet; portions need to be measured carefully.
  • Freeze-dried raw style products require good handling hygiene, as they are less processed than traditional kibble or canned foods.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
02
Rabbit
Rabbit is used in pet foods as a novel or alternative animal protein source for dogs and cats, prized for lean, highly digestible muscle protein and often selected for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids and low fat, but owners should choose complete, balanced formulations (cats especially need adequate taurine), be mindful of mineral imbalances if bone-in/whole‑prey ingredients are included, and avoid improperly handled raw rabbit due to food‑safety risks.
03
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
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
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.
