I remember way back when I discovered lung bite toppers, the best meal topper for dogs.

It was one of those mornings a few years back. I had just returned from an early bird neighborhood run, and I set down three perfect bowls of kibble—the good kind—for my pups. And what did they do? Well, two of them dug in because that's what a dog's supposed to do when their favorite veterinarian-approved dog food is set before them.

But my lab mix, Bruno, stared at me like I'd just offered him salad for breakfast. "Cucumbers and kale again, Mom?"

Bruno even sighed like one of my kids would have if I had served them pineapple pizza every day of their lives!

I knew I had to step up my game—because when your dogs are basically family, you want them to enjoy every bite.

Now, a dog losing their appetite can be a sign of something wrong. So, you should speak with your dog's vet if you have concerns or if it lasts more than a day or two.

But I just wanted to take this opportunity to share what I did to help Bruno get his groove back—or at least his appetite.

Why Dogs Lose Their Appetite

First off, if your dog suddenly isn't diving into their bowl like they used to, you might wonder: What's up, Bruno? or Max, or Cocoa, or Luna, or whatever beautiful name your dog likes to be called.

There are plenty of reasons why a dog might lose interest in food:

• Boredom from the same-old kibble every day (I get it, nobody wants pizza every night...okay, maybe sometimes)
• Anxiety or stress
• Age-related appetite dips
• Chronic pain
• Certain medications
• Digestive issues
• Illness
• Cancer

Yeah, it's not a happy-go-lucky list. Like I said, the loss of an appetite can be serious. But a lot of times, it's just boredom. They're getting the same food every day. They want some variety in their diet. Wouldn't you?

Now, I've developed some great strategies to battle this over the years. If Bruno wouldn't eat today, I'd be ready with the solution. It's already in our dog treats cabinet right now.

But at the time, I didn't know what was wrong. Naturally, I was worried but did not rush him to the vet because he otherwise seemed pretty healthy.

Fortunately, there was this little-known company called Amazon, where you can get almost anything in a couple of days.

So, I started looking for the best food toppers for dogs. And here's the thing! If I was going to buy food toppers, they had to be the healthiest. Added nutrition and bursting with flavor? Was it possible? As it turns out, it is with Lung Bite Toppers.

What Are Beef Lung Bite Toppers?

Lung bite toppers are tiny bits of beef lung treats sprinkled over your dog's regular food. They're packed with protein and have a flavor that'll wake up even the sleepiest taste buds. Just think of them as the parmesan cheese on your pizza for dog food—except, you know, much healthier.

Are Beef Lung Treats Good for Dogs?

You bet they are! Made from grass-fed beef, these single-ingredient dog treats are high in protein and low in fat—so I can sprinkle them on and feel good about adding nutrition to my dog's meals.

More protein, more healthy fats (including that elusive omega 3), and lots of vitamins and minerals.

These aren't just good. They're like a superfood.

In the wild, my pup's ancient ancestors would always enjoy the organ meat. It's the most nutritious.

Collagen is also a major component in bones, joints, skin, and the digestive tract lining. So, if your dog isn't eating because of a sensitive stomach, getting more collagen in their diet can help. As it turns out, this was Bruno's problem.

So, not only did the best dog treats help him get his appetite back. I believe they also helped improve his digestive health.

Why I Love Beef Lung Bite Toppers (And So Do My Dogs)

Honestly, lung bites have helped me up my dog food game. I mean, if you've been following me for a while now, then you've heard me talk about why I give my dogs beef marrow bones for dental, mental, and physical health. We love a good dog bone treat in this house.

But organ meats take this nutrition to the next level.

In real organ meat, all of that goodness is packed into the tiniest package. This allows my dogs to get those vitamins and minerals in fewer calories. So they don't spoil their dinner.

Here's why lung toppers work so well:

• High Protein, Low Fat - They keep my pups healthy and fit without adding unnecessary calories.
• Easy to Use - I just crumble a few bites over their regular kibble, and bam—dinner is suddenly interesting again.
• Great for Picky Eaters - Even when my terrier Pixie decides she's too good for kibble, lung bite toppers bring her right back to the bowl.

They solved Bruno's eating problems.

So, flash forward to today.

How I Use Beef Lung Bite Toppers in Mealtime

If you're new to using toppers, don't worry—it's as simple as sprinkle and serve.

1. Crumble It Up - Break apart the lung bites into tiny pieces.
2. Mix or Sprinkle - Either mix it right into the kibble or just sprinkle it on top like a fine dining garnish.
3. Watch the Magic Happen - Just wait—your pup's enthusiasm for dinner will return faster than you can say, "good dog treats!"

You can get beef lung toppers in bulk with a huge 2.5lb bag that lasts up to two years. This makes them a cost-effective solution for occasional food boredom with extra nutrition as a bonus.

Lung bites are also a nutritious alternative to regular treats during training. And I've found a super-clever way to use them. When I refill my dogs' marrow bones to get more use out of them, I tear up some of this superfood and mix it into the batch before stuffing the dog bone. You can see some of my best recipes in this free bone refill guide.
