Approximately half of the global population today isn’t old enough to remember, but virtually every home used to have a stack of photo albums prior to the year 2000. That’s because in the days of film cameras, everyone had their photos professionally printed – otherwise, you would have nothing to look at. But unfortunately, many of the photos would end up blurry, too dark, or have the dreaded “red eyes.” Still, these inferior photos were often slid into the clear plastic sleeves in the photo album, because it was all we had to remember the important moments in our lives.

Well, photography has come a long way since the turn of the century. I won’t get into the weeds of photography history here, but let’s just say times have changed, and so has the way we view photos. From the shift to digital photography in the early 2000s to the high-quality photo capability of today’s smartphones, the number of people photographing every moment of their lives has increased dramatically, and yet the actual printing of photos has declined. Sure, printing options are still out there…drug stores can still print digital photos for you, and websites allow you to upload your photos to print on coffee mugs, calendars, and photobooks. But the image quality isn’t always what you expected, and the caliber of the items you receive is often subpar. That’s where MILK Books changed the game.

MILK, an acronym for Moments of Inspiration, Love, and Kinship, is a print-on-demand photobook brand that allows users to design their own high-quality photo projects online, which are then printed and shipped within a matter of weeks. These treasured keepsakes can make excellent gifts, document memorable milestones, or just provide a fun way to organize and share our favorite photos.

About MILK Books

MILK Books was founded in 2012 by Geoff Blackwell, co-founder of the New Zealand-based publishing company Blackwell & Ruth. This earlier company, which is still creating award-winning projects today, was responsible for Diana: The Portrait, Mandela: The Authorised Portrait, and Desmond Tutu: The Authorised Portrait. With ample success in the publishing and photography fields, Blackwell’s first M.I.L.K. project started in 1999 when he began gathering photos for a 3-part photobook series to be titled Family, Friendship, and Love, with each book focusing on one of those topics. A decade after their publishing, Blackwell decided to create an online platform allowing anyone to lovingly create their own book of memorable moments…and so MILK Books was born.

MILK Books has now been helping people preserve their most cherished memories for over a decade. This print-on-demand company set itself apart from the competition in the very beginning by offering photobooks made of only the highest quality materials and printing using either a 4-color or 6-color process, depending on the customer’s choice. Their online creation tools are also easy to use with a variety of templates, which allow the user to create exactly the kind of photobook they want, as well as see what the final product will look like. And as a bonus, MILK Books provides a free link to every photo project completed, even before purchase, so that users can share their projects with friends and family for free.

Once you’ve successfully completed your photo project, chosen all your details (cover material, paper type, etc.), and completed payment, a photobook of the highest quality will be printed in Hong Kong before being shipped to your door, with email updates during each step of the process. MILK Books make fantastic gifts but are also just a wonderful way to organize and display all those photos of your friends, family, or pets currently trapped on your computer or smartphone. And with options as low as $35, anyone desiring their own MILK Book can find something amazing to fit their budget.

Overview

Here is an overview of the MILK Books print-on-demand process. This producer of top-tier photobooks allows the user to easily create their projects online and then assembles each book using only the highest quality materials to deliver a treasured keepsake that will last a lifetime.

Photobook Options

One of the greatest features of the MILK Books platform is the level of customization the site provides its users with. Everything from the size of the book and page count to the cover material and paper finish can be determined by the creator. Not only does this ensure every customer gets exactly what they want, but it also allows for a range of pricing with plenty of lower-budget items available, yet no reduction in the quality of the final product. There is also an option to add text to any or all pages, for people who might want to label photos or create more of a storybook feel.

Designing Your Book

To get started making your very first photobook on the MILK Books website, you need to create a free account. Then you can decide what kind of details you want your book to have – a classic or premium design, a photobook or a photo album, the cover material, etc. Next, you will choose and upload your photos, which MILK Books stores for free with no expiration. Finally, the fun part – designing each page! Customers can choose to have the website “auto create” the book for them, or manually create every page, and they can also decide how many photos are on each page and add text if desired.  Then, crucial to the final quality, the user will be alerted if any of the photos are too low in resolution to print properly – these photos can be adjusted in size or omitted altogether.

Printing and Shipping

Once satisfied with your photobook design, you will be provided with a link to your project that you can send to family and friends. This link is free, and a great way to get other people’s input on photo choice and placement, and to have others proofread any text you included. If there are no changes, you can then proceed to order your book. From then on, you will receive regular updates from MILK Books about where your book is in the printing process and will also receive a tracking number when it ships from Hong Kong. The entire process is handled without delay, with production time usually taking 7-21 days. Shipping times will vary depending on where you live.

Satisfaction Guarantee

MILK Books wants every customer to be 100% satisfied, and states if you are not happy to contact them within 14 days of receiving an item so they can make it right. But judging by the more than 8,000 Trustpilot reviews with a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, MILK Books makes a lot of people happy!

In Summary

Key Features

Quality

MILK Books uses only the highest quality materials and ensures superior fade-resistant printing quality in all their items. They also practice exceptional binding techniques – all books are stitch-bound, not glued – so they should never fall apart with proper care. Every item from MILK Books is guaranteed to protect your most cherished memories for a lifetime.

Variety

MILK Books has options for every purpose, desire, and budget. Customers can choose a very basic photobook to neatly preserve their favorite pictures, or a premium photo album with a vegan leather cover, or even a 200-page “magazine” with 6-color printing. There are also several template options, and you can even build your book page-by-page so that every page of your book can look exactly how you want it to.

Pricing

Because there are so many options, there is a wide range of pricing for completed books. A classic photobook starts at $35, while a classic photo album starts at $199. In the premium range, photobooks start at $68 and photo albums start at $234. The most expensive option is a magazine, which starts at $279.

Are MILK Books a Good Value?

MILK Books has great options starting as low as $35, but never skimps on the quality. And while their premium items, especially the albums and magazines, can get quite pricey, there is a reason for the higher cost. These more elaborate projects are absolutely stunning and would make fantastic gifts for special occasions. MILK Books maintains fantastic value for the level of elegance and artistic design they provide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I design my photobook from my phone, or do I have to use my laptop?

You can absolutely design straight from your phone! MILK Books knows that’s where most of their customers’ photos are, so their website makes it easy to upload from your phone without using a laptop or desktop. If you have any difficulty with the process, the website has detailed help articles in its FAQ section.

If the book is a gift for someone, how can I be sure I’ll receive it in time?

Although MILK Books won’t hesitate to get started on the printing process, printing times can vary, and so can shipping times. That’s why it is recommended to contact the company prior to ordering if you have any concerns about how quickly you can get your finished product delivered.

What if I misspelled something in my book’s text and I don’t notice until I receive my item? Will MILK Books reprint it for me?

If there is an error in your book that was your mistake, whether text or image resolution, MILK Books will still help make it right by sharing in the cost of the reprint. If you have any issues with your book when you first receive it, just contact the company right away to see how it can be rectified.

If I want to print another copy later, will I be able to? Or do I have to start over and design another book?

Your projects will always be saved under your account, and you will have the option to order another copy. You can even send a link to your project to friends or family if they want to order a copy for themselves.

Our Experience With MILK Books

Twelve years ago, I saw a Facebook photo of a dirty blond retriever-type pup, and judging by the pale blue walls around him, I could tell he was in the holding compartment on the animal control truck. The next day, I drove to the shelter on my lunch break to see him, a 6-month-old Lab-mix the staff called “Hunter,” and I signed the adoption papers that day. I renamed him “Turtle” after my favorite animal, and he was the first dog my husband and I got together…our “baby boy.” But Turtle is not a baby anymore. He is 12.5 years old, and I’ve seen a decline in his health since he turned 10. Although I hope he will see another birthday, I’ve started thinking of ways to memorialize him and was thrilled to discover MILK Books.

The quality of MILK photobooks is second to none. I’ve used other printing companies in the past, but none of them provided as many design options, or produced the quality images that MILK does. When I received my “Turtle” book, I immediately sat down with my husband to look through it together. Every turn of the page reminded us of good times – watching Turtle play at the dog park, introducing him to our new kitten, taking road trips to the mountains or the beach…so many memories! And having them printed in a beautiful book gives me peace of mind that if technology ever fails me, I won’t lose these cherished images.

The making of Turtle’s book was a little tricky at times, but overall, not difficult. I found it easy to make an account, choose my book options, and upload my desired photos. But as I got into designing my book, I decided to delete some photos – this was where things got a little tricky, as the light blue highlighting around images I had selected is hard to differentiate, and I accidentally deleted photos I wanted to keep. Luckily, I was able to re-upload the lost images, and just had to pay extra close attention while I finished choosing my final photos. Once I was satisfied with my book, the checkout process was easy, and as I waited for my book to ship, I got email updates letting me know what part of the printing process my new book was in. I also received a FedEx tracking number when it shipped, and delivery from Hong Kong to Florida was surprisingly speedy.

Looking through my photobook, I am incredibly pleased with the image quality. MILK gave me alerts in the design process when a photo was too low resolution, so I either shrunk the size of those photos on the book page or eliminated them altogether – there are no fuzzy pictures in my final product. Truly, there is nothing I don’t like about my new photobook from MILK, and thanks to their quality materials and included care instructions, I know that I will be enjoying this photobook for a long time to come.

Conclusion

Whether you want a display-worthy centerpiece for your coffee table, a thoughtful gift for a loved one, or an elegant way to remember that favorite vacation or beloved family pet, MILK Books has you covered. Providing material options and page templates that appeal to anyone, free online photo storage, and a free link to your finished project, this print-on-demand platform goes above and beyond to give customers what they want. With a little patience, you can be the designer of a one-of-a-kind photobook that surpasses anything you’ve seen before.

We humans love to have our hobbies, especially athletic ones. Did you know that our four-legged best friends enjoy hobbies just as much? If anything, they consider hobbies part of their daily job. My pup and I discovered a love for dog agility together – a game in which your dog goes through a series of obstacles in a course. The pup that clears the course the fastest (with no mistakes) wins the game!

This hobby used to be a bit of a complicated endeavor because I had to drive pretty far to my nearest dog agility class and could only carve out one day in the week to commit to it. Then OneMind Dogs came along, an entirely online agility class created by professional trainers. All I needed were the agility obstacles (which were easy to find online) and a membership to the program. So, how does OneMind Dogs compare to the classes I used to take in person?

About OneMind Dogs

OneMind Dogs is not your average online dog training app; it is much more than that. Last I checked, it may actually be the only comprehensive online course for dog agility led by trainers and professional agility handlers.

OneMind Dogs was inspired by an exceptional dog named Tekla, a border collie who unexpectedly lost her hearing in 2003. Her owner (and one of the founders of OneMind Dogs) Janita Leinonen had to find a new way to communicate with her beloved Tekla, as verbal cues would no longer work. The journey Janita went on with Tekla helped devise the OneMind Dogs method, with the method’s efficacy being proven with Janita and Tekla winning several championship titles in various agility competitions.

OneMind Dogs formally began in 2012, led by a group of passionate dog behavior experts, agility coaches, innovators, and Janita herself. The primary crew of OneMind Dogs includes Jaakko Suoknuuti, Mikko Aaltonen, Mari Kaplas, Tuulia Liuhto, and Noora Keskievari as CEO – along with 84 other coaches and instructors from 13 different countries around the world. To date, there are over 58,000 registered users from 97 countries.

Overview

Here is an overview of what you can expect from OneMind Dogs and why this program differs from the rest.

Pricing

For agility classes, which is the bread and butter of OneMind Dogs, there is a free version of OneMind Dogs in all its training categories – but this is simply a little intro and will not give you access to the main training courses. However, the free version offers a great sneak peek.

If you only want the agility foundation course, you can purchase it separately at $10.78 per month. However, this course is also included in the main premium membership prices above.

For the Puppy training classes, there is a 7-day free trial to try all of the puppy classes.

The Methodology

The OneMind Dog method bases itself on your dog’s natural behavior. Dogs communicate through body language and the interpretation of body language. The OneMind Dog method trains humans in the language of dogs.

Dogs are encouraged to adhere to behavior that their human wants based on communicating with them in their own way of speaking. The lessons in the OneMind Dogs method focus on explaining how your dog sees and interprets the world, alongside how best to communicate with your dog in the language that dogs fundamentally understand.

This is why OneMind Dogs is so effective – instead of training the dog to your language (like many other training programs), you meet the dog at their level of understanding. There is an excellent lesson in the OneMind Dogs Method training section that is called “Your Dog Is Your Best Instructor,” and that says it all.

Agility Training

OneMind Dogs really excels at its agility training program, which totals over 600 lessons. Premium members have access to all of these, while basic tier subscribers ($10.78 per month) have access to the Foundations for Agility, and free users can just get a sneak preview.

All of the lessons are divided into categories that are easily searchable.

The Foundations for Agility course, which is the most popular one (and where you should start, even if your dog has some understanding of what agility is), teaches you to both work as a team, improve your dog’s focus, help with mental stimulation, teach body awareness to your pup and how to use their body in a balanced way and help your pup build the right attitude for agility.

The Handling category is also cited as being quite popular on the OneMind Dogs website, stating that this set of courses teaches more than 30 different techniques. The first 20 are stated to be based on natural behaviors from your dog, which make them easier to learn and teach. As someone who has done dog agility classes before, I found the Handling category incredibly comprehensive, covering every maneuver you may encounter on the course.

All the lessons are wrapped around ways to maximize your backyard so you can train efficiently at home, which is especially prevalent in the Courses and Sequences category with course plans for your yard, as well as tips and tricks for teaching sequences at home.

Puppy Training

Although OneMind Dogs focuses on agility training, the puppy courses are also a great resource. The Online Puppy Training by OneMind Dogs is a foundational series to help your puppy become a wonderful adult dog.

There are 96 total lessons and 40 total socializations.

Much like agility training, the entire system is based on proper communication between yourself and your dog.

Professional Trainers

All of the trainers at OneMind Dogs are fully vetted and very accomplished, with many holding top titles in dog agility! OneMind Dogs uses coaches, assistant coaches, and instructors.

What to Expect and Ease Of Use

Upon registering for OneMind Dogs, you get your own dashboard that is used to access lessons, communicate with coaches and instructors, and keep track of how your dog is doing.

The Online Puppy Training has a different dashboard than the Agility training, and both aim towards their goals. Whichever one you are using, the website is straightforward to use, with everything not requiring computer knowledge.

To access classes for the Agility training, just press “Start Training” at the top menu. Courses will populate with an easy-to-use search bar and category drop-down menu.

Very app-based, each lesson works in three easy steps:

It’s as simple as that! If you scroll further on the lesson page under the instructional video, you will find a written breakdown of the following:

This thorough information makes training at home tremendously easier, especially for a sport like dog agility.

Forum and Blog

Membership includes access to the OneMind Dogs forum, where you can interact with the coaches, instructors, and other students going through the course. The forum is quite active and lists workshops you can take. OneMind Dogs also has a blog with valuable articles on various topics.

Philanthropy

Believe it or not, your soon-to-be favorite online agility training platform also has a charitable side. OneMind Dogs has partnered with Austin Pets Alive! in Austin, Texas, a rescue that “pioneers innovative lifesaving programs designed to save the animals most at risk of euthanasia.”

In Summary

Key Features

The OneMind Dog Method

The OneMind Dogs method is exclusive to this program and is probably the most effective one out there. OneMind Dogs teaches you the language of your dog.

Puppy Training Courses

Online puppy training courses are available, teaching the fundamentals of raising a great dog, such as housetraining, walking on a leash, and more.

Extensive Agility Training Courses

Agility is the primary purpose of OneMind Dogs, and their agility courses are unbeatable.

Get One-On-One Feedback From Coaches And Instructors

Times are available for one-on-one feedback from a coach, an assistant coach, or an instructor.

Is OneMind Dogs a Good Value?

Depending on where you live, the average agility class costs $25 – $60 per class. Assuming you go with your dog once a week like I did, that is $100 monthly on the low end and $240 on the high end.

But in all actuality, once per week is not very beneficial for your dog. You should be training two to three times a week, which quickly adds up to anywhere from $200 per month spent on classes to $480 per month!

OneMind Dogs costs at most $48 per month.

To buy your agility equipment and train at home, you’ll need to spend around $100 – $300 for a complete set, depending on how many of each obstacle you want to buy. This is a one-time purchase. Pair this with a yearly membership fee of $411, and you’re still getting a massive value and cost reduction per year! Over 600 lessons are available to you immediately, with guided courses to help you train at home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you need to own agility equipment for the agility classes?

You do not need to own any agility equipment for the Agility Foundation classes. Equipment will be required for the agility lessons beyond the extensive foundation course. Equipment can be purchased in a variety of places, including online.

What ages of dogs can participate in the OneMind Dogs method?

OneMind Dogs has lessons for dogs of all ages, from puppyhood to adulthood. Beginner and advanced dogs are welcome.

There are a lot of lessons. Is there a way to bookmark or save lessons?

Yes. Press the star icon next to any lesson video to start a bookmark list you can visit again in the dashboard.

Our Experience With OneMind Dogs 

I enrolled my pup, Lorelei, into agility classes the day I finally got her health on track from adopting her at the animal shelter. She was about two years old at the time. Although the lessons were a lot of fun, I had difficulty finding any near me – and an hour’s commute each way is rather hard to carve into a busy work schedule, and my pup only went once a week (sometimes once every two weeks). Not only was this a pricey endeavor to begin with, but I felt like the money wasn’t being very well spent because we weren’t progressing with so few classes. We had stopped doing agility some years ago, so when OneMind Dogs came along, I was curious to see if it would be possible to get going again on our own; I have some of the equipment anyway!

Upon first registering and receiving a Premium Membership, all of the lessons became instantly available to me. The dashboard is really simple to navigate, and finding the lesson I wanted wasn’t difficult either. We started with the foundation course and haven’t quite progressed to the main agility lessons yet – but what we’ve done so far is pretty brilliant! I really appreciated how easy and straightforward all of the video tutorials are – I am a very visual learner, and watching proper handling helped tremendously. The tips to assist in situations where Lorelei wasn’t quite catching on to what I needed helped tremendously, which mitigated my need to constantly bug a trainer to ask what I was doing wrong.

Most of the lessons teach you about viewing life from your dog’s vantage point and how dogs communicate with us and the world around them. I felt like I was learning a new language, but every time I accomplished something in this canine way of communication, my dog understood me far better than before. We naturally rely a lot on verbal cues because humans are vocal, but dogs are body-language communicators. I felt like even just going through a few courses, the bond with my pup got a lot stronger – and at the end of the day, that’s the goal, is it not?

The blog was a fun read in my relaxation time, and the forum was a helpful addition to the OneMind Dogs program as a whole. I even recognized a few agility students from when I used to take classes!

Overall, I am delighted with OneMind Dogs and will continue further in their lessons.

Conclusion 

In conclusion, OneMind Dogs is the ultimate resource for all things dog agility. A cost-effective and really valuable way to excel in this fun hobby, OneMind Dogs is truly changing the way people train and view this sport. By shaping your dog’s natural behaviors, you can find a new way to become a great agility team. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

About Finn

What is Finn?

Finn is a pet wellness brand that sells natural dog products, like supplements, food toppers, and paw balms. They were founded in 2020 by a team of pet lovers who originally created a wellness company for humans. After Finn’s founder, Alex, realized his dog, Bonbon, deserved the same care as humans, he and his partners started Finn with the vision to help dogs live happy and healthy lives.

Who are Finn’s Toppers Best Suited For?

Any dog will benefit from having extra nutrients mixed in their food, and if your pup is a picky eater, adding a tasty topper can encourage them to eat their meal. That said, each topper also has its own unique health benefits. Pumpkin Plus is a great option for dogs that have digestive issues and Bone Broth Plus is perfect for active pups and aging dogs who need extra joint support.

Key Features

Keeping your four-legged friend healthy and happy is easy with Finn’s food toppers. The products are made with real ingredients and only take a few minutes to add to your dog’s meal. Finn also streamlines the ordering process with their optional subscription plan so your dog never misses a serving.

How to Use

The toppers are made to sprinkle over your dog’s food for extra nutrients and flavor. They come in a powder and each container has a one-tablespoon scoop for easy measuring and serving. The serving size varies based on your dog’s weight, so it’s important to check the back of the container for recommended serving sizes.

While sprinkling the powder over your dog’s food is the traditional way to use them, you can also get creative with products and make your furry friend some health-enriching snacks.

A few additional ways you can use the toppers include:

Ingredients

With a commitment to quality, health, and safety, Finn only makes their products using natural ingredients. All their formulas are vet-approved, scientifically backed, and results-driven, so you can feel good about feeding them to your pup.

Subscription

If you and your dog love Finn’s toppers, you can sign up to have them automatically shipped to your door with Finn’s subscription plan. The subscription lets you choose how often you want the toppers delivered (every 21, 30, 45, or 90 days), and signing up is free!

Best of all, you’ll receive free shipping and a 15% discount on all orders for the duration of your subscription. You can update, pause, or cancel the subscription any time through your account or contact Finn to set up a custom delivery schedule that works for you.

Shipping and Returns

Orders take 2-3 business days to be packed before shipping out. Once shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.

Finn has a 60-day money-back guarantee, so if you are unhappy with the product or your dog doesn’t love the topper, you can email Finn’s support team for a refund. Once a refund is issued, it can take 3-5 business days for the refund to be processed.

Our Reviews of the Finn Products We Received

1. Pumpkin Plus

Pumpkin Plus is a powdered meal topper that’s convenient to use, tasty to eat, and great for your dog’s digestive system. The topper is formulated with five gut-friendly superfoods that promote digestive health and bowel regularity, making it perfect for dogs with stomach issues and bowel problems.

The great thing about Pumpkin Plus is it works for all kinds of digestive issues. If your dog has loose stool, it’ll help bulk them up, and if your dog struggles with constipation, it’ll help alleviate straining. Even if Fido has perfect poo, Pumpkin Plus is a great way to boost gut health and keep your dog’s gut biome healthy and happy.

The topper is made with ingredients like pumpkin, miscanthus grass, and sweet potato, which are high in fiber and support regularity, as well as apple and blueberry, which are high in antioxidants and promote gut health. Every dog is different, so how fast you see results depends on your dog and their digestive system.

Pumpkin Plus is offered as a 1-pack, 2-pack, or subscription. A 1-pack 8 oz tin costs $32.00. The 2-pack and subscription are offered at a discounted price.

2. Bone Broth Plus

Like Pumpkin Plus, Bone Broth Plus is a powdered food topper designed to sprinkle over your dog’s meal. It’s packed with nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory ingredients and is ideal for active pups and aging dogs. Since the topper is rich in collagen and amino acids, it naturally strengthens bones and joints, enhances mobility and vitality, and promotes longevity.

A few ingredients in the topper include 100% grass-fed beef bone broth, sweet potato, and turmeric, which preserve connective tissue, support joint function, and promote tissue regeneration. You can feed Bone Broth Plus to your pup multiple times a day as long as you don’t exceed three recommended servings per day. Results can be noticed immediately or within 4-6 weeks.

Bone Broth Plus is available to purchase individually or in a set of two. A 1-pack costs $32.00 for an 8 oz tin and a 2-pack is offered at a discounted price. You can also subscribe to have the topper auto-shipped and get 15% off.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where are the toppers made?

The toppers are made in the United States with globally sourced ingredients.

Does Finn partner with vets?

Finn consults with veterinarians, scientists, and industry experts when formulating and testing their products.

Can the toppers be used for cats?

Finn’s toppers are formulated specifically for dogs and should not be given to cats.

Our Experience with Finn’s Toppers

I love adding toppers to Micah’s food for extra flavor and nutrients, but it can be hard to find products made without preservatives and fillers. Micah has a sensitive stomach too, so I’m always careful about the products I buy for him.

After being introduced to Finn’s toppers, I was eager to try them out. I liked that the ingredients were clean and that each one had its own health benefits. The Bone Broth topper is best for joint health and Pumpkin Plus helps support your dog’s digestive system. But honestly, if you’re simply looking to spice up your dog’s food, you can’t go wrong with either one.

The toppers come in 8oz tin canisters and are a powder consistency. The recommended serving size is anywhere from one to three tablespoons depending on your dog’s weight, and each tin comes with its own scoop for easy measuring.

Micah has a few gut issues, so I was excited for him to try Pumpkin Plus. Since Micah was a puppy, he’s had a sensitive stomach and his anal glands have a hard time emptying. I add pumpkin to his diet every now and then for extra fiber and was hoping Pumpkin Plus would do the trick to alleviate some of the issues he’s been having.

Since starting the topper, I’ve noticed some improvements in Micah’s digestion. While Micah still has trouble with his anal glands, Pumpkin Plus has helped him with bowel regularity and is one of the only toppers that agree with his stomach. Most importantly, Micah loves it! Every morning, he gets so excited when he sees me take out the can, and his whole body wiggles with excitement until I put his bowl down.

Bone Broth Plus has been great as well. I’m pretty selective about the beef I give Micah since he can only tolerate it in small amounts, so I was happy to see that Finn uses grass-fed beef in their formula. Because Micah is sensitive to Beef, I’ve been giving this one to him in microdoses. He’s done really well with it and loves it so much he tries to lick it out of the can. One of my favorite things about Bone Broth Plus is it’s packed with protein, collagen, and amino acids. Micah is an active boy, so I love that it supports his active lifestyle.

Something I love about the toppers is they can be used in so many different ways. I make Micah pumpkin banana pupsicles that he absolutely loves, so I added some Pumpkin Plus to a batch and they were a huge hit. I also made a paste with the Pumpkin topper and it turned out fantastic as well.

With Bone Broth Plus, I added water to the powder and heated it on the stove to make a liquid broth. This ended up being my favorite way to use it since I could pour it over Micah’s food to warm it up.

Conclusion

Pumpkin Plus and Bone Broth Plus are two of Finn’s dog food toppers. They’re highly nutritious supplements that can enhance your dog’s diet and add flavor to their meal. After trying out the toppers with Micah, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to support their dog nutritionally or spoil their pup with a flavorful treat. Micah loved the Pumpkin Plus, and the Bone Broth Plus could be a solid choice for aging dogs or dogs needing joint support.
