Best Dog Food for Active Dogs
Dogs with high energy need more than just calories—they need smart nutrition that fuels their movement, muscle health, and recovery. Whether you’re raising a working dog, an agility champ, or just a pup who never sits still, their meals should support that lifestyle. At Ollie, we create fresh, human-grade food that delivers the protein, nutrients, and clean energy active dogs need to thrive—all without fillers or artificial junk.
Understanding the Needs of Active Dogs
Active dogs burn through energy fast, and that means they require food with higher protein, healthy fats, and the right balance of vitamins and minerals to keep up. Without the proper nutrition, they can lose muscle, become fatigued, or be more prone to injury and inflammation.
Common Needs of High-Energy Dogs:
Higher calorie demands to fuel movement and endurance
Greater protein intake to support lean muscle maintenance
Healthy fats for sustained energy, not sugar spikes
Antioxidants and joint-supporting nutrients to help with recovery
Whether your dog runs, hikes, works, or plays hard every day, their food should match their energy.
Ollie meals are crafted to deliver that support—made fresh with real meat, digestible carbs, and functional ingredients that help your dog stay strong, sharp, and ready for more.
How Ollie Supports Active Dog Performance
Dogs who burn more energy need food that can go the distance. Ollie makes it easier to fuel them with meals that are built for stamina, muscle health, and full-body wellness—without the processed fillers that weigh them down.
Protein-Packed Recipes for Muscle and Energy – Real meats like beef, turkey, and lamb support strength and recovery
Healthy Fats for Sustained Performance – We use nutrient-dense fats like fish oil and chicken fat to fuel longer play and work
Digestive Support from Whole Ingredients – Gently cooked meals made from real food are easier to digest and absorb
Antioxidants & Omega Fatty Acids – Reduce inflammation, support joints, and boost post-activity recovery
Whether your dog is always on the move or training for something big, Ollie helps them feel strong, alert, and energized—day after day.
High-Energy Dogs by the Numbers
Energy demands vary by breed and activity—but high-energy pups need food that fuels their lifestyle.
Without enough protein, active dogs can lose strength and tire faster.
The right fats and nutrients support mental clarity and physical performance during training or exercise.
High-carb, filler-packed food may cause sugar spikes followed by fatigue, especially in athletic dogs.

No more diarrhea
Cosmo, English LabradorCosmo had terrible gut health and frequently had diarrhea. Since switching to Ollie, he now has normal poop, a shiny coat, fewer ear issues, and lost 18 lbs.
The hair on his ears grew back
Bane, German ShepherdBane is the typical GSD with lots of allergies. His got so bad that his ears were losing hair! On top of that, he was underweight because getting him to eat was a dancing act. He was so picky and I had to hand-feed him to get him to eat. Now he is drooling and prancing around waiting for his food and is so happy to eat it and his coat/ears are so thick and full.
Her wounds from scratching finally healed
Suzie, LabradorBefore, Suzie would get open wounds from scratching and biting her paws. Nothing worked - cones, meds, creams, sprays. After four vet trips, they suggested maybe her cancer (removed a couple of years prior) had returned. After four days of eating Ollie, a wound she had about three months started to heal and has had NO recurrences since!
She's now the healthiest, happiest pup because of Ollie!
Sasha, German ShepherdMy dog had so many digestive complaints before starting Ollie. It seemed no food we tried agreed with her stomach, and she constantly had diarrhea and wouldn’t eat anything. Even on a bland diet, she still didn’t have relief. We have had Ollie for 8 months, and Sasha has had regular bowel movements ever since! She used to go days without eating, and it amazes me how excited she gets to eat her Ollie.
