By Marcus Bell · Dog nutrition editor · Published 2026-05-24 · Updated 2026-06-25
Nulo Freestyle Bone Broth is a pourable chicken topper meant to boost hydration and coat quality, and while owners generally like it, its 3.8 star average is on the lower end for this category so it's worth reading a few reviews before committing to a full pouch.
Owners who want a liquid, easy-to-pour topper to add moisture and flavor to dry kibble, especially for dogs whose coat could use extra support.

Overview
["Nulo Freestyle Bone Broth is a chicken flavored liquid topper packaged in a 20 fluid ounce pouch, built around collagen and chondroitin sulfate to help support coat and skin quality. Nulo describes it as an all natural, long cooked recipe meant to feel more like a gourmet pour than a basic topper, and it's labeled grain free and limited ingredient.", "Because it's a liquid rather than a powder or freeze dried mixer, it's an easy way to add moisture and flavor to dry kibble without changing the texture of the meal much, useful for dogs who need encouragement to finish a bowl or who could use more hydration in general.", "At $10.99 for a 20 oz pouch, it's priced in line with other liquid bone broths in this silo. It has 591 reviews at a 3.8 star average, a solid but not standout track record, and about 200 units bought in the past month, suggesting steady but modest demand compared to some of the bigger sellers in this category."]

Performance notes
As a liquid rather than a powder, this topper mixes into kibble instantly with no reconstituting step, though that also means it's more of a flavor and moisture booster than a concentrated nutrient supplement. The collagen and chondroitin sulfate are aimed at skin and coat support rather than joint specific dosing, so treat it as a general wellness topper rather than a targeted joint product.
What buyers say
With 591 reviews and a 3.8 star average, this sits toward the lower end of ratings in the bone broth topper category, and around 200 purchases in the past month points to a smaller but steady buyer base rather than a runaway bestseller.
Is Nulo Freestyle Bone Broth a complete meal or a topper?
It's a topper meant to be poured over your dog's regular food, not a complete and balanced meal on its own, so it should be used alongside a full diet rather than replacing it.
Does this bone broth need to be refrigerated after opening?
As a liquid product, it's best to follow the storage instructions on the pouch once opened, and check with the manufacturer if you have questions about shelf life since this isn't specified in the listing.
Will the chondroitin sulfate in this topper help with my dog's joints?
The formula is aimed at skin and coat support rather than being marketed as a dedicated joint supplement, so if your dog has a diagnosed joint issue, a vet recommended hip and joint product would likely be a better fit.
