Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients: 6-7
Ingredients:
- 2-5 dehydrated sweet potato pieces
- 2-3 slices of carrot
- 1 Canadian bacon stick treats
- 1/2 c kibble
- bone broth (optional)
- 1/4 c raw food (or your pup’s favorite wet food)
- 1 tsp creamy treat (or organic peanut butter)
Directions:
- Plug Toppl with a Toppl Stopper or with a small cookie treat
- Fill Toppl halfway with kibble. Top with bone broth to rehydrate (optional).
- Fill up the rest of the Toppl to the rim with wet or raw food.
- Spread creamy treat on top or around the rim (Tip: Massage the creamy treat pouch to mix it before opening)
- Let’s get this fire started! Arrange the sweet potato chews on top to look like flames, pushing them into the wet food for stability.
- Cut the carrots into small triangles. Arrange them in front of each piece of sweet potato.
- Place kibble pieces around the edge of the Toppl to mimic embers.
- Cut the bacon stick treats into 4 pieces, popping them in to look like logs poking up out of the flames.
- Feed fresh or frozen!
Notes:
Is that a tiny campfire in a cup?! It practically crackles with smoky bacon logs, toasty sweet potato and carrot flames, and crunchy kibble embers. Serve this one under the stars. (Or in the living room at lunch, dogs will still be stoked either way.)
Nutrition Tip:
Sweet potatoes are a staple in top-notch doggy dinners, packed with fiber, vitamins (A, B6, and C), and minerals like iron, calcium, and selenium. Plus, they're loaded with beta-carotene, giving your furry friend super sight, growth power, and strong muscle!
Carrots are like superhero snacks for dogs! They're packed with Vitamin A, which doesn't just keep those puppy eyes sparkling but also fights inflammation. Plus, this orange wonder veggie boosts the immune system and keeps their skin and coat look and feel paw-some!
Bone broth is a collagen-packed canine superfood. Collagen can heal gut walls, nourish joints, and strengthen hair and nails. It’s a nutritious way to hydrate simple kibble! Just make sure its onion and garlic free.
