Ollie has helped thousands of dogs lose weight
"He was an active dog but his weight would not budge. On Ollie, Gannon's weight steadily came off and he was able to keep it off. "
"Gannon was a large lad even as a puppy. By the age of four, he had undergone two TPLO surgeries. The veterinarians recommended that we limit his food intake. No matter what we tried, his weight would not budge. He was an active dog and went for daily walks. We finally decided to give Ollie a chance! He not only enjoyed eating his Ollie but the weight steadily came off and he was able to keep it off. The best thing is that he can still have lots of treats during the day!"

Odin
Labrador Retriever
When we rescued Odin, he was very over-fed, overweight, had trouble getting up and down, and had issues getting in and out of the car. Now, thanks to Ollie, Odin has lost 45 pounds and is thriving at literally everything! I’m confident we added years to his life.

Our Best Recipes for Weight-Loss
SENSITIVE-BELLIES
Chicken Dish with Carrots
Fresh chicken packs powerful—but sensitive-stomach friendly—protein without extra fats, helping your pup’s body utilize its own energy stores to fuel various processes including digestion. Supporting ingredients such as carrots, rice, peas, and spinach provide a sense of satisfaction from healthy fiber and moisture, which reduce hunger and support healthy digestion.
ALLERGY-FRIENDLY
Turkey Dish with Blueberries
Fresh turkey is a gentle option for dogs with food or digestive sensitivities. It's also higher in protein and lower in fat than chicken, making it an outstanding choice for overweight pups. This low-cal, high-quality protein recipe features fiber and antioxidant-rich blueberries, kale, and pumpkin for improved metabolism and radiant health.
