Venison Meal Topper: Single-Ingredient Venison Topper for Dogs & Cats
Quick answer: Shades of Gray Venison Topper is a single-ingredient venison meal topper made from 100% venison farmed in Canada and federally inspected. It's dehydrated and ground fine to sprinkle over kibble, wet, or raw food. Because most pets have never eaten venison, it's a novel protein that suits picky eaters and dogs and cats that react to chicken or beef.

Venison Topper FAQ
Q: How can I get my picky dog or cat to eat their food?
A: Try sprinkling a single-ingredient meat topper over their regular food. Venison Topper is 100% venison, and a small amount adds real flavour to any meal. If your pet suddenly stops eating, check with your vet.
Q: How much topper should I use?
A: About 1 teaspoon per cup of food. Start with a little less and build up. Too much at once can be more than some pets' stomachs are used to.
Q: What is a venison meal topper?
A: A meal topper is a small amount of something tasty sprinkled over your pet's regular food. It adds flavour and protein without changing their main diet.
Q: How big is the bag?
A: Each bag is 3 oz (85g). Because you only use about a teaspoon per meal, a bag lasts longer than you'd think.
Q: Is it single-ingredient?
A: Yes. It's 100% venison, made from our own dehydrated Venison Rolls, with no fillers, grain, gluten, or preservatives.
Q: Is it raw or cooked?
A: Neither. It's gently dehydrated, not raw, then ground. That keeps it shelf-stable and easy to sprinkle.
Q: Can I use it as a meal on its own?
A: No. It's a meal enhancer, not a complete diet. Keep feeding your pet's regular food and use the topper on top.
Q: Where does it come from?
A: Our venison is farmed in Canada and federally inspected, and every batch is made at our facility on Alderville First Nation. Each bag is 3 oz (85g).

The venison topper smells nice and meaty and both my dog and cat enjoy it on their meal, and I am very pleased to be adding extra protein to their diets.
clean, good, my 4 little dogs (3 dacshunds and 1 chihuahua/ Havanese old lady dog who manages them) love them.
First taste, they were intensely interested, unlike their reaction to any other treat they've ever had.
Dog loves the topper and enjoys it sprinkled on her lick mat!
My dog didn’t hesitate to eat these and I’ve never seen this picky skeptic take new treats with such interest before! Felt great about giving them to her. Will be restocking.
My dog is super picky with her food & will refuse to eat until she is starving. With this topper I didn’t have to entice her to eat, she went straight to her dish and finished her serving! I will be buying this venison topper again! Didn’t have a horrible odor either - smelled like jerky/smoked meat!
