Dog food toppers for picky eaters
Some dogs just refuse to eat. They sniff the bowl, walk away, and leave you guessing. The issue is rarely stubbornness. Ultra-processed dog food made with artificial flavours and chemical preservatives tastes flat and smells synthetic to dogs. BLEP dog food toppers fix that. Made from real bones, real meat, and nothing artificial, they turn a boring meal into tasty dog food for picky eaters.
BLEP toppers are:
✔ Made from 100% natural ingredients
✔ Zero preservatives, zero sugar, zero artificial flavours
✔ Slow-cooked for 24 hours to release collagen and nutrients
✔ Compatible with any homemade food, or BLEP meal
✔ Suitable for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs

Why toppers work for picky eaters
Picky eating is often a response to food that lacks real aroma. Dogs rely on smell to decide whether something is worth eating. Ultra-processed food cooked at extreme temperatures loses its natural scent. A topper made from slow-cooked bones brings that scent back.
BLEP bone broths are made from meaty bones and collagen-rich tissue simmered in water for 24 hours. This turns them into a thick, aromatic soup that is rich in collagen, glucosamine, amino acids, and other nutrients. When poured over food, it enhances the taste and smell of the meal without any artificial taste enhancers, sweeteners, chemicals, or other additives.
What makes BLEP toppers different?
- They are made with 100% natural ingredients.
- Every ingredient is human-grade, not feed-grade by-products.
- They are slow-cooked for 24 hours to extract maximum collagen and nutrients.
- They contain zero salt, zero onion, zero garlic, and zero sugar.
- They are rich in glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen for joint health.
- Collagen from the broth soothes the gut lining and supports digestion.
- Natural collagen supports healthier skin and coat.
- They work with any food: BLEP meals, homemade food.
BLEP toppers for dogs
Every product here uses 100% natural ingredients and nothing else.
Chicken Broth for Dogs
Chicken Broth is made from meaty chicken bones, chicken feet, organic apple cider vinegar, and turmeric. It is thick, rich in collagen, and has a strong natural aroma that draws picky eaters to the bowl. It supports joint care, gut health, and hydration. It is available in single packs or packs of 10 and 20.
Lamb Broth for Dogs
Lamb Broth is made from meaty lamb bones, paya, organic apple cider vinegar, and turmeric. It suits dogs that do not respond to chicken, including those with chicken sensitivity or a sensitive stomach. It is available in single packs or packs of 10 and 20.
Lamb Broth for dogs with chicken allergy
Chicken is one of the most common protein allergens in dogs. If your dog shows itchy skin, ear infections, or digestive issues after eating chicken-based food, a chicken allergy may be the cause. Lamb Broth is completely chicken-free. It provides the same collagen, glucosamine, and hydration benefits as Chicken Broth without triggering a reaction. Pair it with a chicken-free BLEP recipe like Lamb Blueberry, or Paneer Quinoa for a fully chicken-free meal plan. Read more about food for dogs with skin allergies.
How to use bone broth as a topper
Pour the broth over your dog's meal and mix it in. Serving sizes depend on weight:
- Under 10 kg: up to 50 ml per meal.
- 11 to 40 kg: up to 100 ml per meal.
- Above 40 kg: up to 150 ml per meal.
In summer, freeze the broth into ice cubes for a cooling treat. In winter, warm it slightly before serving. Do not use broth as a replacement for a complete meal.
Read our blog on chicken broth for dogs for more on benefits and daily use.
Add chicken jerky for extra texture and aroma
If your dog prefers a chewier texture or responds better to a strong meaty aroma, you can add pieces of Chicken Jerky to their bowl. It is made from dehydrated chicken breast with turmeric and rosemary. The texture is chewy and real-meat, with zero sugar. Break it into small pieces and mix it into your dog's food, or use it on its own as a training treat.
Chicken Jerky is a high-reward treat, not a meal replacement. It should not exceed 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. Use the Diet Calculator to check your dog's daily calorie target and portion the jerky accordingly.

Pair toppers with BLEP meals
Toppers work best when the base meal uses real ingredients. BLEP's gently cooked wet food recipes have a soft texture that mixes well with broth. Try Chicken Broth over Chicken Pumpkin or Chicken Rice. Most dogs accept this on the first try. Rotation feeding across recipes keeps mealtimes interesting.
The All Recipes Trial Pack lets your dog sample all seven recipes from BLEP. You can also Build Your Own Box or set up a monthly pack once you find the right fit.
For dogs with gut issues alongside picky eating, the SUPER Gut Booster can improve appetite by restoring digestive balance. Explore all daily supplements.

FAQs
Q. How do I use bone broth as a food topper?
Pour the broth directly over your dog's food and mix it in. Serving sizes are based on weight: up to 50 ml for dogs under 10 kg, 100 ml for dogs between 11 and 40 kg, and 150 ml for dogs above 40 kg. You can serve it at room temperature, as frozen cubes in summer, or warmed slightly in winter. Use it alongside a complete meal, not as a substitute. For detailed guidance, read our blog on chicken broth for dogs.
Q. Will a topper work with any kibble, or only BLEP food?
BLEP toppers work with any food. You can pour bone broth over kibble, homemade food, or BLEP meals. The broth adds moisture, aroma, and flavour regardless of the base food. The best results come from pairing broth with fresh, gently cooked food, because the combined moisture and texture is closer to what dogs naturally prefer. Learn more about wet vs dry vs fresh dog food.
Q. My dog is a picky eater. What is the fastest way to get them to try BLEP?
Start with Chicken Broth mixed into their current food. The strong natural aroma usually gets dogs interested within the first or second meal. Once they are eating comfortably, introduce a small amount of BLEP food into the bowl. Follow the 9 to 10 day transition plan and increase the ratio gradually. Learn why dogs get diarrhoea during food changes so you can avoid it.
