From gut health to hydration support, fresh toppers can do a lot more than just make meals exciting ✨

Bone broth is packed with moisture, collagen, gelatin, and naturally occurring amino acids that help support joints, digestion, skin, and recovery — especially for picky eaters, seniors, or pets needing extra nourishment. 🍖🥣

Goat’s milk is a nutrient-rich powerhouse loaded with probiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamins, and healthy fats that support the gut, immune system, and overall vitality. It’s gentle on sensitive stomachs and an easy way to add functional nutrition to the bowl. 🐐🥛

For dogs AND cats, these fresh food additions can help support:
• digestion & gut health
• hydration
• skin & coat health
• joint support
• immune health
• meal enrichment & appetite

A little pour-over goes a long way toward helping pets thrive ✨🐾

Puppies grow fast — but their digestive system, immune system, joints, and brain are all still developing at the same time. That’s why nutrition during the first year matters so much.

A lot of common puppy issues get blamed entirely on “food allergies,” but diarrhea and digestive upset can also be connected to stress, vaccines, medications, parasites, environmental exposures, and the general chaos of puppyhood.

Supporting the gut early with the right probiotics and highly-digestible nutrition can make a big difference - not only for the diarrhea, but for their immune system too. Protecting and supporting their developing immune system through the gut microbiome will pay off for their lifetime.

Growth is another area where balance key. Puppies need enough protein and calories to develop properly, but excess weight can create stress on developing joints — especially in large breeds. Getting the right balance of nutrition means looking for foods that are paying attention and providing the best.

Mental enrichment matters too. Puppies aren’t just growing physically; they’re learning how to exist in the world. Stuffed Kongs, foraging toys, training games, and appropriate chewing outlets can help support healthy behavior while preventing boredom.

If you’d like help choosing foods, supplements, chews, probiotics, or enrichment toys for your puppy, we’re always happy to help.
