Raw Toppers: A Simple Way to Add Variety

Aug 25
3 min read

Variety does not have to mean rebuilding your pet’s entire feeding routine.


Sometimes it means having one measured, flexible add-on available when you want to change the texture or add a raw format to the meal.


Nature’s Diet Raw Toppers® are made for dogs and cats as a supplemental topper. The formula includes cage-free duck with ingredients such as sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, kale, goat milk, and blueberries. It is designed to be mixed with a daily food and served either dry or rehydrated with water.


Raw Toppers are a premium, convenient freeze-dried fresh meal topper for dogs and cats.  Made with raw duck, goat milk, blueberry, kale & sweet potato, raw meat toppers for pets don't get better than this.

Choose the format that fits the day


Dry serving keeps the process especially simple: measure the amount called for in the feeding guide and mix it with the meal. Rehydrating with water creates a different texture when that is more appealing to your pet or more useful for the routine.


The important part is not choosing the most elaborate option. It is using the format you can repeat. The feeding chart is based on two meals per day and gives separate guidance for dogs and cats; follow it as the starting point for your pet. Make changes gradually when appropriate, and give your pet time to adjust to a new ingredient or texture.


Keep the topper in its proper role

Raw Toppers® are supplemental. They add variety to a primary food; they are not a substitute for a complete meal. If your pet has a restricted diet, a health condition, or a history of reacting to new ingredients, check with your veterinarian before introducing a new topper.


For dog and cat households looking for a straightforward way to add variety, Raw Toppers® offer two practical serving options and a clear job: make an existing meal a little more flexible without making the whole routine more complicated.


Raw Toppers or a complete raw meal?

Raw toppers are a nutritious, high-protein addition to any dog or cat's meal.  They can even be rehydrated and served wet for picky eaters.

This is the decision that prevents most confusion. Raw Toppers are supplemental, so they are meant to be mixed with a daily food. Simply Raw and Ready Raw are complete-meal formats with their own preparation instructions. A topper can add variety to the meal you already serve; it is not a substitute for choosing a complete primary food.


If you want to change the whole meal, compare the complete-food options. If you want a smaller change, Raw Toppers are the more limited and flexible step.


Make the choice easy to repeat


Keep the bag with the rest of your feeding supplies and use the feeding chart as the starting point. The chart is based on two meals per day and gives separate guidance for dogs and cats. Measure the amount rather than treating the topper as an unlimited extra.


We recommend introducing one change at a time. That keeps the routine understandable and makes it easier to see whether your pet enjoys the new texture and ingredients.

We find most pets enjoy our soft, pillowy Raw Toppers when served dry over their usual everyday pet food. For pets more accustomed to wet food, raw toppers can be easily turned into a fresh pâté: just add water and stir.
