Best Grain-Free Dog Food

If your dog has skin issues, stomach troubles, or frequent itching, grains in their bowl might be part of the problem. Many pups thrive on a grain-free diet that’s easier to digest and packed with real meat and veggies, no wheat, corn, or fillers that weigh them down. At Ollie, we craft fresh, gently cooked grain-free meals using only clean, whole ingredients your dog’s body can truly use.

Why Some Dogs Do Better on Grain-Free Food

Grains like wheat, corn, and soy are cheap fillers in many dry dog foods—but not every dog can tolerate them. Some pups have trouble digesting grains, while others develop itchy skin, ear infections, or loose stools that just don’t clear up until the grains come out of the diet.


Signs Your Dog Might Need a Grain-Free Diet:

  • Chronic itching or hot spots

  • Frequent ear infections

  • Loose stools or digestive upset

  • Excessive paw licking

  • Dull coat or flaky skin

Grain-free dog food replaces heavy carbs with animal protein, whole veggies, and gentle fiber. The goal? More digestible meals, fewer flare-ups, and a healthier, happier dog from the inside out.


How Ollie Makes Grain-Free Feeding Better

Some “grain-free” dog foods still sneak in low-quality starches or filler carbs that can upset sensitive dogs. At Ollie, we skip the cheap grains—and the empty substitutes. Instead, we craft real, fresh meals full of clean protein and nutrient-rich vegetables with no hidden junk.

  • No Wheat, Corn, or Soy—Ever – Real animal protein comes first, with no cheap grains or grain by-products

  • Whole Veggies for Digestibility – Pumpkin, carrots, peas, and spinach support gut health naturally

  • Gently Cooked, Not Extruded – Our meals are slow-cooked to protect nutrients and make digestion easier

  • Portioned Just for Your Dog – We match your dog’s grain-free plan to their age, breed, weight, and sensitivities

Every bite helps your dog absorb what they need, without the grains they don’t.

No more diarrhea

Cosmo, English Labrador
5 star rating for testimonial

The hair on his ears grew back

Bane, German Shepherd
5 star rating for testimonial

Bane 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, Labrador
5 star rating for testimonial

Before, 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!

Sasha

She's now the healthiest, happiest pup because of Ollie!

Sasha, German Shepherd
5 star rating for testimonial

My 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.
