Because Let’s Face It… We’d All Go Crazy Eating the Same Exact Meal Everyday
If you’re a dog owner, chances are you’ve noticed brands claiming to offer “fresh” dog food for your own personal best friend. Our team sure has, and we’ve done several deep dives to explore the most popular of these brand offerings. Every time, we come back to Ollie as the best option.
We could wax poetic for hours about the benefits of Ollie’s human-grade delivery-style dog food. But to save you time, we’ve pared down a long-winded dissertation to five reasons why Ollie is our #1 recommendation for spicing up your dog’s daily menu (not literally).
But First, You Should Know…
Ollie isn’t the new pup on the block. Founded in 2016, the brand has spent nearly a decade serving dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. And it wasn’t long before people began to notice. They’ve received coverage from outlets in every industry, from Business Insider to The Humane Society of the US.
The acclaimed dog-walking app Rover ranked Ollie their Top Pick for Best Fresh Dog Food on the market, and Forbes named them “Best Dog Food Delivery With Convenient Packaging.” Just in case you’re looking for some additional reading…
Now, for the good stuff!
1. Slow-Baked, No Fakes
It should quickly become clear why this is reason #1. Unlike sooo many other brands out there, Ollie promises to use no fillers and no artificial flavors. In short, none of the fake stuff. Instead, the ingredients are human-grade (more on these later) and slow-baked to preserve nutritional value.
This production method stands in stark contrast to many kibbles, which are quickly cooked at high temps and subsequently stripped of key nutrients. As an added bonus, all Ollie food is made here in the US.
2. Broad Variety Is a Pup-Pleaser
Ollie offers the opportunity to expose your dog to a variety of flavors, ingredients, and styles of food. They offer both Fresh (wet) and Baked (dry) food, with 7 different recipes in total. Each dish stars one protein and fruit or vegetable, but of course the ingredients are much more thorough—void of fillers, as we’ve established, Ollie adds spinach, chickpeas, oats, lentils and other intentional elements to the mix.
3. Ease & Convenience
Being a pet owner is a lot of things, but “easy” is not one of them. Luckily, Ollie makes feeding your dog as easy as humanly possible. Food deliveries come right to your door on whatever rotating schedule works best for you. They even offer an app that allows you to track deliveries and view (as well as change) membership details.
Maybe the coolest part? Ollie’s app includes access to on-demand health screenings focused on weight, dental health, and digestion. All you have to do is upload a photo of your dog to receive personalized feedback. If you’re going away or need to switch addresses, adjusting your Ollie subscription in the app is completely seamless, too. It’s like a sustainable, even-simpler, healthy Postmates subscription for dogs!
4. Personalization Station
You may be wondering how to estimate the price and size (and taste) of Ollie deliveries, if you were to use their service. You’re in luck! Their Get Started Survey is thorough but speedy—simply provide the key details about your four-legged friend(s) and Ollie will generate a personalized menu and schedule customized to fit your dog’s needs.
That brings us to their range of Meal Plans. You can opt for Full Fresh (all wet, refrigerated food), the Half Fresh (all wet, but smaller portions to mix with other dog food), or the Mixed (a combo of Fresh and Baked). The range of subscription offerings allow families to gracefully weave Ollie into their routines according to budget, preference, and sheer convenience.
5. Your First Box is 50% Off! (Mic Drop)
We saved the best for last. When you register with Ollie, your starter box comes with roughly two weeks of food (this amount varies according to pup!), a welcome instruction manual, a food scoop, and a Puptainer to store leftovers. Oh, and it’s all 50% off. What better reason to sample their award-winning, human-grade dog meals? You won’t know until you try…
Long Story Short, Ollie Is Where It’s At
There are an overwhelming number of fresh dog food brands on the market, but we’ve spent a lot of (maybe too much?) time comparing them all, and no one is doing it quite like Ollie. From production to serving, every single element of their dog food is top-of-the-line. This is a brand designed to work with you, rather than creating work for you, which certainly cannot be said of the other guys. Their ingredients are sourced with intention and diligence, and the results are noticeably different (read: delicious).
