Trying to solve a problem for Riley was the spark that led to Nutrakins.

Our sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, Riley, joined our family in 2016. From the start, she was a picky eater and had a sensitive stomach. We often worried about her health, and spent a long time searching for a food that didn’t seem to make her sick or turn her off. Did I mention picky? We realized, after commiserating with other owners over digestive “mishaps,” that it’s pretty common for dogs to have issues with digestion and gut health.

After our vet recommended adding pumpkin to her meals, we immediately saw the benefits: firmer poop, less acid reflux, more excitement around eating, and just an overall improvement in her wellness. But, there was only so much plain pureed or powdered pumpkin she would eat before turning up her nose again. And, to be honest, I didn’t like open cans of puree sitting in our refrigerator. It seemed like a waste. We needed a solution that was nutritious, enticing, and mess-free.

So, we created Nutrakins food toppers. Nutrakins are rich in pumpkin and protein, and are packed with simple ingredients like flax, ginger, and probiotics that make it easy to add extra health benefits to dogs’ diets. Now it’s super easy to add pumpkin and keep her coming back for more!
