TL;DR: Northwest Naturals Functional Toppers Cheddar Cheese Crumbles are a freeze-dried, single-ingredient meal topper made from 100% cheddar cheese. Sprinkle over kibble, raw, or cooked food to boost flavour and add crunch for dogs and cats.
These Northwest Naturals toppers are built around one idea: make everyday meals more appealing with a clean, minimalist ingredient list. The only ingredient is cheddar cheese (pasteurised milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), freeze-dried to lock in aroma and texture.
Because there's no wheat, soy, corn, artificial preservatives, or fillers, the crumbles sit well alongside most existing diets — kibble, raw, or gently cooked.

Who is it for?
This topper suits dogs (and cats) who could use a little extra encouragement at the bowl — picky eaters, pets transitioning between foods, or any dog whose kibble routine could use a flavour upgrade. It's also a handy option when you want to add palatability without introducing a long, complicated ingredient list.
If you're exploring the broader Northwest Naturals toppers lineup, you may also like the Northwest Naturals - Functional Toppers Goat Cheese, the Northwest Naturals - Functional Toppers Beef Blood, or the Northwest Naturals - Functional Toppers Whole Egg for different flavour and nutrient profiles.
Feeding & use
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese crumbles directly over your pet's regular kibble, raw, or cooked meal. Start with a small amount and adjust based on your pet's size and overall diet, keeping toppers as a complement rather than the main course.
How should it be stored?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and texture. Because the crumbles are freeze-dried, they don't require refrigeration before opening.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
