    Kriser\u2019s has a bunch of raw and raw alternative topper options available in store! \u00a0Here are some quick bites about each of them:<\/p>\n

    Stella & Chewy\u2019s Freeze-Dried & Freeze-Dried Meal Mixers<\/b>\u00a0have a whopping 90-98% meat, organ and bone as their main source (the amount depends on the particular protein variety). To use these as a meal topper just scoop, pour or sprinkle an appropriate amount on top of your pet\u2019s regular food. You can choose to serve as dried bits or rehydrate before mixing in. This is a great option\u00a0if your pet is a finicky eater and might need some excitement to his or her meals!<\/p>\n

    Primal Freeze-Dried Nuggets<\/b>\u00a0are an another great choice if you\u2019re looking to add vital nutrients back into their diet to keep them happy and healthy. Their nuggets are perfectly sized and offer 77-93% meat, organ and bone.<\/p>\n

    The Honest Kitchen Proper Toppers<\/b>\u00a0are made of 90% chicken or turkey plus they add a mix of apples, pumpkin, chard and blueberries to create a healthy option they love. In addition to meal toppers, these double as a lightweight training treat which can be tough to over-feed.<\/p>\n

    Ziwi Peak<\/b>\u00a0uses its amazing 95% mix of meat, organs, bones and green lipped mussel, then pairs it with all natural kelp, parsley, and other super nutrient vitamin and mineral sources to create delicious bite-sized jerky pieces. Like all the other topper options, this is a great way to introduce pups to raw and add nutrients back into their diet. This one is especially great for senior pets or nursing mothers who may need additional calories in their diet.<\/p>\n
