Solid Gold Chicken Dog Food Topper Pouches, 12 Pouches, Chicken & Broth, for picky eaters

These dog food pouches from Solid Gold are wet toppers you tear open and pour straight from the pouch, no preparation needed. Each pouch holds shredded chicken in a savoury broth with pumpkin and carrots, and the recipe is grain-free and gluten-free. The box holds 12 pouches and weighs 2.25 lb, or 36 oz in total, and the manufacturer describes the topper as suitable for dogs of all ages.

What to check before you buy

A buyer should confirm two limits. The topper is a supplement to a meal rather than a complete dinner on its own, and the manufacturer positions it as a topper, mix-in or gravy-style enhancer rather than a full ration. The other check is the ingredient list: chicken, chicken broth, water sufficient for processing, carrots, animal plasma, tapioca starch, pumpkin and guar gum are all listed, so a dog with a known sensitivity to any of these does not suit this recipe.

Which ingredients does the recipe list?

Chicken and chicken broth are the first two items on the ingredient list, followed by water sufficient for processing, carrots, animal plasma, tapioca starch, pumpkin and guar gum. Shredded chicken is combined with pumpkin and carrots in a savoury broth.

The formula contains animal plasma, and the manufacturer also lists amino acids, vitamins, minerals and superfoods among what goes into it. There is no grain and no gluten in the recipe.

How the topper works with your dog's food

• The topper pours over dry dog food from a torn pouch, so a bowl of kibble gets a wet addition alongside it.
• It also pairs with wet food or soft food, which means it can go on top of a bowl the dog already eats.
• Rather than being served alone, it gets stirred into the meal, used as a pour-over topper, a gravy-style enhancer or a mix-in.
• The pack holds 12 pouches of 3 oz each, giving 36 oz in total for portioning across meals.
• The manufacturer lists meal topper and training among its uses, so a pouch can be poured over a bowl or offered during a training session.
