2. Steam broccoli until soft enough to puree.

3. Add broccoli and greek yogurt to a blender or food processor and blend until well incorporated.

4. Fold everything together until well mixed, store in refrigerator for up to four days.

5. Replace ¼ of your dog’s daily meals with this fresh food topper for added health benefits

Eggs – Packed with protein and rich in many essential amino and fatty acids, vitamins including A and B12, as well as folate, iron, selenium, and riboflavin. Eggs provide benefits ranging from improved skin and coat health to stronger teeth and bones.

Spinach – Incredibly nutrient-rich superfood. Dense in iron and magnesium, as well as essential vitamins A, C, and E for improved circulation, energy levels, immune function, and more.
