Learn how to use Natures Menu Mighty Mixer as a meal topper for your dog. Simple steps for adding crunch and nutrition to raw or kibble meals.

Quick answer

Use Natures Menu Mighty Mixer as a meal topper by mixing a small handful of biscuits with your dog's regular raw meat or kibble. Start with a 1:3 ratio of mixer to base food and adjust based on your dog's size and appetite.

Why use a meal mixer instead of a full raw meal?

Not every dog is ready for a complete raw diet, and some owners prefer to keep their dog on kibble while adding fresh ingredients. Natures Menu Mighty Mixer biscuits are designed as a complement, not a replacement. They provide a crunchy texture, extra flavour, and a nutritional boost from fruit, vegetables, and essential vitamins and minerals without the mess or prep of a full raw meal.

The two varieties—Salmon & Potato and Turkey & Oats—let you match the protein source to your dog's preferences or dietary needs. Salmon & Potato is fishy and grain-free, while Turkey & Oats includes wheat and is milder in taste.

Which Mighty Mixer should you choose?

Both options work as a meal topper, but the choice depends on your dog's existing diet and any sensitivities. Salmon & Potato is a good pick if your dog enjoys fish flavours or you want a grain-free option. Turkey & Oats suits dogs that do well with grains and prefer a lighter, less pungent taste.

Because neither product is a complete diet on its own, you can switch between them or use both to add variety. Just keep the total biscuit portion small relative to the main meal.

Steps to use Natures Menu Mighty Mixer as a meal topper

Step 1: Measure the right portion: Start with about 10–15 biscuits for a medium-sized dog (25–50 lbs). For small dogs, use 5–8 biscuits; for large breeds, up to 20 biscuits. The mixer should never exceed one-third of the total meal volume. Overloading the bowl with biscuits can unbalance the meal. Keep the mixer as a topper, not the main course.
Step 2: Crush or leave whole: For small dogs or slow eaters, crush the biscuits into smaller pieces with your hands or a rolling pin. For larger dogs that enjoy crunching, leave them whole. Crushed pieces mix more evenly with wet food. Whole biscuits encourage chewing and dental scraping; crushed pieces work better for mixing into soft raw meat or wet kibble.
Step 3: Combine with the base meal: Sprinkle the biscuits over your dog's raw meat, wet food, or kibble. Stir gently to distribute. If using raw meat, ensure the biscuits are well coated to encourage acceptance. Serve immediately. Letting the biscuits sit too long in wet food can make them soggy. Serve right away to preserve the crunch.
Step 4: Monitor your dog's reaction: Watch for any digestive changes over the first 3–5 days. Some dogs need a gradual introduction. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, start with half the recommended portion and increase slowly. A sudden switch to a new protein or grain source can cause loose stools. Slow introduction helps avoid upset.
Step 5: Store leftovers properly: Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within 4–6 weeks for best freshness. Do not refrigerate the biscuits as moisture can reduce crunchiness. Stale biscuits lose appeal. If the bag feels soft or smells off, discard the remaining biscuits.
