Giving Every Meal a Little Extra: Trying James & Ella’s New Freeze-Dried Raw Topper
Anyone who has followed Miss Darcy’s Adventures over the years knows that feeding my dogs the best possible diet has always been one of my top priorities.
We switched Darcy to a raw diet when she was just two years old and never looked back. George and Lulu have continued that journey, and while a balanced raw diet provides everything they need, there are times when a little extra nutritional support can be beneficial, particularly as dogs get older, become more active, or simply deserve an occasional boost.
That’s why I was interested to try the new Freeze-Dried Raw Topper from James & Ella.
Designed to be sprinkled over your dog’s regular meal, the topper is made with 97.5% human-grade meat and is available in two flavours: Country Game and Grass-Fed Lamb. It’s an easy way to add both flavour and extra nutrition without changing your dog’s existing diet.
What particularly appealed to me was that the topper combines high-quality meat with carefully selected functional ingredients, each chosen to support different aspects of a dog’s wellbeing:
- Seaweed – supports the immune system
- Hawthorn leaf – contributes to heart health
- Chicory root – a natural prebiotic to help maintain digestive health
- Glucosamine – supports healthy joints
- Green tea – helps support healthy teeth and gums
One thing I should confess is that my dogs have never been fussy eaters. They have always been enthusiastic about mealtimes, so I can’t honestly say I need to persuade them to finish their food!
What I did discover, however, is that these toppers make excellent high-value rewards during training sessions. Simply sprinkle some into your hand while teaching tricks, and George and Lulu were completely focused. It’s a lovely alternative use that I hadn’t expected.
As with all James & Ella products, the ingredients are simple, natural and thoughtfully chosen. It fits well with the philosophy I’ve always had when feeding my own dogs: start with good nutrition and then look for sensible ways to support their overall health.
Whether you’re trying to tempt a picky eater, add variety to mealtimes, or simply give your dog’s daily diet an extra nutritional lift, this new Freeze-Dried Raw Topper is certainly worth considering.
As always, every dog is different, but for George and Lulu, it’s been another welcome addition to their bowls, and judging by the enthusiastic tail wags, I think they would happily agree.
These boosters and mealtime toppers are now available on the James & Ella website.
