Sophie had always been a spunky, bossy little shadow. As a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, she ruled our home with confidence and charm. She herded the kids, guarded the kitchen, and had her favorite napping spots mapped out like a general leading a mission.
But after my daughter left for college last fall, everything changed.
A Corgi in Mourning
Corgis are smart. And they feel. I never expected Sophie to grieve like she did. She didn’t just miss her — she withdrew. Stopped eating. Wouldn’t play. She’d lie in the hallway where my daughter’s scent still lingered.
We tried everything — fresh-cooked meals, new toys, even extra walks. Nothing worked.
That’s when I came across this touching podcast episode about emotional recovery in dogs. The host talked about something called a dogfoodtopper that helped picky or emotionally distressed dogs reconnect with food.
That was the first time I heard of Quelle 365.
The Power of a Simple Addition
Sophie sniffed the Quelle 365 topper before I even set her bowl down. It smelled real — savory, warm, inviting. For the first time in days, she ate. And not just picked — she devoured her meal like she used to, then came over and nudged me with her nose.
That’s when I knew we were going to be okay.
Why Dogfoodtoppers Like Quelle 365 Work
Flavor Boost: The smell and taste excite a dog’s senses, especially when they’re depressed or older.
Nutritious Ingredients: Quelle 365 is made with real proteins, digestive support, and no fillers.
Emotional Trigger: Smell is a powerful memory tool. For grieving dogs, something new and exciting can break emotional routines.
And it’s not just Sophie. Pet parents across platforms are seeing transformations in their dogs, like in this YouTube video story.
From Silence to Zoomies
Today, Sophie is herself again — barking at Amazon drivers, chasing tennis balls, and demanding belly rubs.
We still add Quelle 365 dogfoodtopper to her meals, not because we have to — but because she loves it. And honestly, I think it reminds her that she’s cared for, even when her favorite person is miles away.
In the end, it wasn’t about solving everything at once. It was about giving her a reason to start again. And for Sophie, that began with a bowl full of hope and one delicious topper.
