Homemade Dog Food Toppers, Gravy & Broth
Sometimes the best thing you can make for your dog isn't a treat at all. It's a spoonful of warm gravy or broth over dinner, or a sprinkle of something savory on top, and that happy face when the bowl hits the floor.
These toppers use a few plain ingredients, like chicken, turkey, pumpkin, sweet potato and low-sodium broth with no onion or garlic. Most take a few minutes, make a batch at once, and freeze well in small portions.

Common questions
What can I put on top of my dog's food?
Plain cooked chicken or turkey, a spoonful of plain pumpkin, a little low-sodium broth with no onion or garlic, or a simple homemade gravy are all easy places to start.
How much topper should I add?
A tablespoon or two is plenty for most dogs. Toppers count toward treats, which should stay around 10% of your dog's daily calories.
Can I freeze homemade gravy and broth?
Yes. Pour it into an ice cube tray, then keep the cubes in a freezer bag for up to two months and thaw one at a time.
