Delicious side dish for dogs and cats - Atlantic anchovy

What is this Atlantic anchovy topper and why does it work for dogs?

It is a 100% dried anchovy fillet-based, granular supplement (single protein) that adds a strengthening aroma and flavor to the food. It stimulates appetite without grains, additives, or added salt and mixes easily with kibble, wet food, BARF, and homemade meals.

Who is the topper best suited for?

It is suitable for dogs of all sizes as an everyday flavor boost – especially useful for picky eaters. Small breeds (e.g., Shetland Sheepdog, Bichon Frisé) only need a crumb, while medium-sized (e.g., Cocker Spaniel, Poodle) and large dogs (e.g., Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever) can use a bit more as part of their daily portion.

How is this used in practice?

Sprinkle a small amount over the food or mix it in. You can moisten it with a splash of warm water or clear broth, which makes the granules stick to the kibble and intensifies the aroma – a good trick even for picky eaters.

How much can I give per day?

Keep the supplement portion to a maximum of about 10% of the dog's total daily food. As a guideline: small dogs (e.g., Toy Poodle, Pomeranian) 1–2 teaspoons/day, medium-sized (e.g., Border Collie, Lagotto Romagnolo) 2–4 teaspoons/day, and large dogs (e.g., Hovawart, Smooth-coated Retriever) 3–6 teaspoons/day. Always start with a small amount and monitor the dog's condition.

Is this a good solution for a picky dog?

Yes. The fish aroma and granular texture make the portion more appealing. For example, Poodles, Whippets, and Portuguese Water Dogs often get excited when a small “marine crumb” is added on top of their food.

Is this suitable for sensitive or allergic dogs?

The topper is single-protein (only fish), grain-free, and contains no added salt or artificial additives. Therefore, it suits many dogs with sensitive stomachs and elimination diets – always considering your own dog and starting moderately.

Is it suitable for puppies and seniors?

Suitable for all age groups as a complementary food. For puppies (e.g., Parson Russell Terrier, Mittelspitz), start with half to one teaspoon per day; for seniors (e.g., Samoyed, Lapponian Herder), monitor digestive function and adjust the amount if necessary.

Can I use this as training treats or for enrichment?

Yes. The granules can be sprinkled on a lick mat, hidden in an enrichment toy, or used as a light reward. For small breeds (e.g., Shelties, Jack Russells), crumble it even finer to keep the total amount moderate.

What does the topper smell like and does it make a mess?

The smell is distinctly fishy but clean in everyday use. The granular form is not sticky, and the glass jar and wooden spoon make dosing controlled both at home and on the go.

Can I combine this with other foods?

Yes – it mixes excellently with kibble, wet food, as well as BARF and homemade meals. Tip: moisten lightly if you want the granules to stick to the kibble as well as possible.

Does this contain added salt or grains?

No. The product is grain-free, additive-free, and contains no added salt – a simple ingredient list makes the choice easy when you want to keep the food clear.

Does this provide omega-3 benefits?

Fish is naturally a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which supports the skin and coat health of many dogs. Exact concentrations are not specified, so keep this in mind if you monitor amounts closely.

How should the topper be stored after opening?

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Close the lid carefully after each use and use by the best before date.

Can this be given to cats as well?

Yes, this is suitable for cats as a complementary food. Start with 1–2 teaspoons per day and monitor digestibility – many cats get excited by the granular texture and real fish.
