K9 Natural Freeze-Dried Hoki & Beef Topper delivers a nutrient-packed, high-meat boost for dogs, featuring sustainably caught New Zealand Hoki and grass-fed, free-range beef that supports healthy brain and eye development when sprinkled over your dog's existing diet.
Ingredient Authority
This recipe features sustainably caught Hoki as the first ingredient, followed by grass-fed, free-range beef, beef tripe, beef liver, and beef spleen—providing multiple nutrient-rich protein sources from both sea and land. Additional beef components include beef kidney, beef heart, and beef blood for comprehensive organ meat nutrition. Eggs provide complete protein and essential amino acids. The formula includes New Zealand green mussel for joint support, along with nutrient-dense vegetables including pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. Brown kelp and dried kelp provide natural minerals and trace elements. Sunflower oil and flaxseed flakes deliver essential fatty acids. The freeze-drying process preserves all nutrients and natural taste. Free from wheat, gluten, GMO ingredients, corn, soy, cereals, dairy, rice, potato, and all other fillers, ensuring a clean, grain-free formulation.
Nutritional Breakdown
The guaranteed analysis shows minimum crude protein at 46.0%, minimum crude fat at 35.0%, maximum crude fiber at 2.5%, and maximum moisture at 8.0%. This exceptionally nutrient-dense format concentrates proteins and fats through freeze-drying, delivering powerful nutrition in small serving sizes. The high protein content (46%) provides rich amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall health. The inclusion of Hoki delivers naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are essential for brain and eye development in puppies and support cognitive function in adult dogs. Organ meats provide naturally occurring vitamins and minerals including vitamin A (crucial for eye health), B vitamins, iron, and zinc. The recipe includes essential vitamins and chelated minerals (zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate) for enhanced bioavailability.
Life Stage & Breed Suitability
Fully balanced and suitable as a complete meal or as a nutritious topper. Suitable for dogs of all life stages and breeds when used to supplement or enhance their existing diet, with particular benefits for puppies due to omega-3 support for brain and eye development.
Functional Positioning
The freeze-drying process preserves the nutritional integrity and natural taste of raw ingredients while creating a shelf-stable, concentrated format. This high-meat, low-carbohydrate topper delivers the nutritional benefits of whole prey feeding through sustainably caught New Zealand Hoki, grass-fed beef, and nutrient-rich organ meats. Simply sprinkle over your dog's existing food to add a nutrient-packed boost. The combination of fish and beef proteins provides diverse amino acid profiles and exceptional omega-3 fatty acid content from Hoki, which are particularly important for puppies during critical growth periods when brain and eye development occurs. The inclusion of multiple beef components provides diverse nutrients similar to ancestral canine diets. While formulated as a topper, this recipe is fully balanced and can also be served as a complete meal when rehydrated.
Feeding Guidance
For small dogs (5-10 kg / 11-22 lbs), feed ¼ cup per day as a topper. For medium dogs (11-25 kg / 24-55 lbs), feed ½ cup per day. For large dogs (26 kg+ / 57 lbs+), feed ½+ cups per day. Simply sprinkle over your dog's existing food for a tasty, nutritious boost. Can also be rehydrated and served as a complete meal. Adjust portions based on your dog's activity level, age, and dietary needs. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening to maintain freshness. Always provide access to clean, fresh water.
