Knowing that pet owners have a desire to switch up the flavors of the healthy meals they offer to their dogs, [Wellness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-recipes-for-dogs) Natural Pet Food recently expanded its Wellness CORE brand with new dry recipes, as well as meal toppers and mixers.

The Wellness CORE Bowl Boosters are flavorful, protein-rich meat bites that can be enjoyed by pets in two formats. While [PURE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-dog-treat) offers a meal topper made of just one freeze-dried raw meat ingredient, TENDER mixes 70% raw protein ingredients with farm-grown produce. The Wellness Natural Pet Food CORE Bowl Boosters are offered in flavors such as Whitefish & Salmon, Turkey & Chicken, as well as 100% Beef and 100% Turkey.

These [meal toppers for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauce-for-dogs) have the potential to help consumers better tailor pet meals to the health and dietary needs of their pets.
