Our medallions can be served as a complete meal or used as a topper to enhance your dog’s current food. To rehydrate, simply add ½ cup of water per cup of food. When using as a topper, reduce your dog’s regular food accordingly to prevent overfeeding. Toppers represent about 20% of your dog’s daily caloric intake.
