Best Dog Food for Irritable Bowel Disease
If your dog struggles with chronic diarrhea, vomiting, or a sensitive stomach that flares up without warning, they could be dealing with Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Managing these conditions often starts with what’s in their bowl. At Ollie, we craft fresh, limited ingredient meals using gently cooked, simple recipes that are easy on the gut, so your dog can enjoy calmer digestion and a more comfortable life.
Understanding IBD and IBS in Dogs
IBD and IBS sound similar, but they have different causes. IBD is an inflammatory condition that can damage the lining of your dog’s gut, while IBS is often triggered by stress, diet, or sensitivity that disrupts normal digestion. Both can lead to chronic diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and discomfort.
Signs Your Dog Might Have IBD or IBS:
Frequent loose stools or diarrhea
Vomiting after meals
Gas, bloating, or stomach noises
Weight loss despite eating
Periods of appetite loss
A limited ingredient, highly digestible diet is one of the most effective tools to manage these conditions. Ollie recipes avoid common irritants and focus on gentle proteins and simple veggies, so your pup’s gut can get a break and heal.
How Ollie Supports Sensitive Stomachs
For dogs with IBD or IBS, not all dog food is created equal. Highly processed kibbles, hidden additives, or hard-to-digest fillers can make flare-ups worse. Ollie fresh meals are gently cooked, limited ingredients, and packed with nutrients your dog can actually absorb.
Simple, Whole Proteins – Recipes built around single-source proteins like turkey, beef, or lamb to reduce the risk of irritation
No Hidden Fillers or By-Products – We skip wheat, soy, dairy, and mystery ingredients that can trigger flare-ups
Easy-to-Digest Vegetables – Gentle fiber from pumpkin, spinach, and carrots helps soothe the gut and support stool quality
Gently Cooked for Maximum Digestibility – Slow cooking protects nutrients and makes food easy to break down
Every bowl is portioned for your dog’s unique needs—no guessing, no extra stress on their sensitive system.
IBD and IBS by the Numbers
Symptoms are often misdiagnosed as “sensitive stomach” when they’re really chronic inflammation.
Certain proteins, grains, or additives can trigger gut inflammation.
Switching to a clean, simple diet is one of the first things vets recommend.
Gently cooked food is easier to break down than dry kibble, helping the gut heal naturally.

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.
The best food for my dog!
Bear, French BulldogBear is the sweetest French Bulldog who has some pretty serious food intolerances/allergies. He was suffering from hair loss, skin lesions, bad odor, lethargy, and discharge from his ears from other foods we tried to feed him. Thank goodness your turkey recipe was just perfect for him. He absolutely loves it and he is looking and feeling amazing now!
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!
I'm so grateful to Ollie for figuring it out for me!
Happy Boy and Summer, Swedish CalhounsMy dogs had bad skin allergies and I even went to UC Davis to get them tested. They said it was an atypical allergy and couldn't figure out why. They used to vomit and get bad allergies from The Farmer's Dog and it all stopped with Ollie. Now they get so excited when I put their food down, I have to push them away so they don't eat too fast!
