Protein For German Shepherds

Many German shepherds are used as working dogs. This can be with police departments, search, and rescue, the military, or simply for protection. These dogs need good sources of protein to fuel them for demanding jobs and aid in muscle recovery.

Even if your German shepherd lives the life of leisure at home with you, quality protein sources are still important. Ollie uses gently cooked human-grade chicken, turkey, beef, and lamb in all of our Recipes. In addition to the muscle meat from these protein sources, we also use organ meat as a source of high-quality protein. Our meals are made with nutrient-dense organs including the kidney and liver to add essential vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium.

Fat For German Shepherds

To keep up their energy levels, German shepherds need adequate high-quality fat sources. Pet parents need to be careful not to add too much fat to their German shepherd’s diet as an excess of fat can cause digestive issues. For the right balance, our recipes contain lean proteins mixed with the right amount of fat. We also ensure that our recipes contain great sources of Omega 3 fatty acids including cod liver oil. These fat sources will help active pups maintain a healthy weight, skin, and coat.

Carbohydrates for German Shepherds

Ollie delivers quality nutrition in every bite. While there is no official guidance from AAFCO on carbohydrate content, we add only the best to fuel your adventures. Your active German shepherd can count on our recipes to help them feel full and energized. From leafy greens like spinach and kale to powerhouses like pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, and butternut squash. In addition, our ingredients are great sources of fiber. A diet rich in fiber keeps the digestive system running smoothly. When feeding Ollie, you might notice your pup is having better, less frequent poops.
