Hydrate dry kibble. This may be the most crucial step when enhancing your pet’s meals because, without hydration, it can be difficult for them to digest and even absorb the nutrients in dry food properly. You can ensure your furry friend stays nourished by soaking their food in warm bone broth or goat’s milk. If you don’t have either on hand, that’s perfectly fine — warm water works too! Add fish oil for omega-3s. We humans often talk about the benefits of fish oil for its supportive omega-3s, and that applies to your pets too! Not only does fish oil help pets have shiny coats, but it also supports healthy joints, hearts, cognitive functions, and more. You simply pump some fish oil onto hydrated kibble, and it’s ready for your pet to eat. Top with raw food. Your pet will love devouring a highly nutritious pile of raw food on top of their kibble! Freeze-dried, air-dried, or frozen raw toppers are all outstanding options for increasing your pet’s protein and vitamin intake, as they’re a mix of meats, fruits, vegetables, and sometimes even ground bone! Dried or frozen toppers also retain their nutritional value and health benefits while staying storage-friendly. Pack in the vitamins! Every pet can benefit from a multivitamin, just like people! Because the nutrients in kibble can be difficult to absorb, a multivitamin can help fill any gaps left. Countless pet multivitamins are available on the market, and they include incredible supplements like probiotics, immune support, joint support, and more! Speak with your pet’s veterinarian to learn what nutrients you should prioritize for their diet. Then, you can start filling their kibble dish with everything they need to live a happy and healthy life!
