VARIETY IS NUTRITION

The Topper Club was created around a simple idea: variety is nutrition.

Just as different whole foods provide different nutrients for us, our dogs can benefit from eating a wider variety of ingredients over time. A varied, rotational diet can help support a diverse gut microbiome and make fresh feeding feel more varied and enjoyable for busy dog owners.

Every topper is cooked in small batches in Seattle using whole ingredients and designed to be mixed and matched, so every bowl can feel a little different.

The Topper Club began in my Seattle kitchen with my own dogs and a daily ritual of choosing what to add to their bowls. Today, that same idea is at the heart of everything we make: helping busy dog owners turn an ordinary meal into a small everyday act of care.

FAQ

What is a meal topper?

A meal topper is something added on top of your dog’s regular food to bring freshness, variety, and texture to their meals. They are designed to complement your dog’s existing diet, not replace it.

Whether you feed kibble, raw, or freeze-dried, toppers are an easy way to layer in fresh ingredients and rotate different proteins and vegetables over time.

Many pet parents also find that toppers help encourage picky eaters, make meals more exciting, or help with things like medication and appetite! Toppers turn feeding into something everyone looks forward to.

How much should I feed, and how long can I store it?

Toppers can make up 10-20% of a dog's daily intake, but they're intentionally flexible.

Some dogs get a light scoop added to meals, while others enjoy a more generous portion depending on their size, appetite, and activity level.

A good starting point is a light sprinkle over their regular food and adjusting from there.

All toppers arrive frozen and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. The best by date will be printed on the bottom of the container.

Thaw in the refrigerator before serving, and once thawed, use within a week. As with any fresh food, always check for freshness before serving!

What makes The Topper Club different?

Most fresh dog food brands begin as complete and balanced diets, then later branch into toppers. The Topper Club was built differently — as a topper brand from the start.

That distinction shapes the entire approach. Instead of focusing on a single formula meant to be fed every day, The Topper Club is designed around variety, flexibility, and rotation. If you've heard of the 80/20 rule, toppers are the 20 - the part where you can have a little more fun and enjoyment.

It's a way to bring in different proteins, textures, and fresh ingredients over time without the pressure of constantly searching for the one “perfect” food.

The toppers are intentionally prepared to preserve texture and structure, and each ingredient is cooked separately, so you can still see the individual components in the bowl rather than a uniform mash.

Everything is made in small batches in Seattle with the goal of saving pet parents time while enriching their dog's meals. As The Topper Club grows, the lineup will continue expanding with more proteins, blends, and new ways to build the bowl.

Which topper should I start with?

Whatever one your heart desires!

  • If you're looking for an everyday staple, Daily is an easy entry point, with familiar ingredients and simple vegetables that most dogs already enjoy.
  • Chill leans a little lighter and gentler, with softer, easier-to-digest ingredients.
  • Boost includes a more robust mix, with quinoa and beets.
  • Glow brings in greens and chia seeds for a fresher, more textured bowl.
  • Organs are an incredibly high-value, nutrient dense addition to any bowl!

We recommend rotating between blends throughout the week rather than sticking to just one! That variety is part of what The Topper Club is built around.
