FAQs

What is freeze-drying and how does it benefit my dog's food?

Freeze-drying removes water from fresh ingredients under vacuum. This process preserves the food's nutritional value, natural flavors, and textures without the need for artificial preservatives, creating a shelf-stable product.

How much Nutriment Freeze Dried Beef Raw Topper should I use?

The amount depends on your dog's size, activity level, and overall diet. Start with a small sprinkle (e.g., 1-2 grams) and observe your dog's reaction and adjust as needed. Consult your veterinarian for personalized dietary recommendations.

Can this topper be used as a complete meal replacement?

No, this product is intended as a topper to enhance existing meals. It is not a nutritionally complete and balanced meal on its own.

What are the specific health benefits of the ingredients like raspberries and turmeric?

Raspberries can support a healthy immune system. The blend of botanicals, including turmeric and black pepper, is included to support healthy joints.

How long does the freeze-dried topper last after opening?

Once opened, the pouch should be resealed tightly and stored in the refrigerator. It is best to use the product within 48 hours of opening to maintain freshness and quality.

Is this product suitable for puppies?

While it provides excellent nutrition, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new food product, including toppers, to a puppy's diet to ensure it meets their specific growth and developmental needs.

What is the shelf life of an unopened pouch?

Unopened pouches have a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Please refer to the 'best before' date printed on the packaging for the most accurate information.

Troubleshooting

Dog shows digestive upset after introduction

Introduce the topper gradually over several days, starting with a very small amount and increasing slowly to allow your dog's system to adjust.

Topper does not seem appealing to the dog

Ensure the topper is fresh. Try slightly moistening the dog's regular food before adding the topper, as the freeze-dried pieces can sometimes be dry.

Product appears clumpy or has lost crispness

This may indicate exposure to moisture. Ensure the pouch is properly sealed after each use and stored in a dry environment. For opened pouches, refrigeration is recommended.
