Kibble "topper" recipes

What is your kibble topper recipe?

I am currently feeding sojos original recipe again, but they changed the formula somewhat and now my 2 bichon girls in particular have the same face staining and yeasty feet/lip fold that they do on kibble. So I was thinking of trying Innova low fat out for them plus some home cooked kibble toppers. My old minpin could eat just about anything and you'd never notice much of a difference in him, really.

What I've done for toppers in the past is brown a pound of meat (rotate beef, turkey, chicken, pork) throw in maybe an egg once in a while and ground veggies. Just give a spoonful over their kibble with each meal- I feed twice daily. I also use plain organic yogurt for them, which seems to help my girls the most with their yeasty beasts.

What's your topper recipe?

I don't have a recipe, but I either add yogurt, cottage cheese or baby food. It's a little something extra for them, but not time consuming or any work involved.

I add some canned mackarel or salmon and twice a week they get eggs added. If I have leftover veggies or meat I might add that to their kibble too, not all in the same meal of course. :)

I keep mine very simple... in the RV we never travel without Boullion or Beef or Chicken broth simply heating 1/2 a cup up makes all of my hounds happy with out having to resort to soft food. even an open can of spaghetti sauce makes a huge difference when slightly heated and spooned ( 2 tbspn) over kibble.

Raw eggs, Plain Yoghurt, a sprinkle of garlic powder or a tablespoon or two of cottage cheese.

If I have a sick dog I will add browned ground beef with a bit of garlic, salt and diced tomatoes... Rarely will I add rice but if feeling the need to put a carb in , I may add some oatmeal or instant mashed potatoes...
