Best High Protein Dog Food
Dogs thrive on protein. It fuels their muscles, supports their immune system, and helps them stay strong and energized at every stage of life. But not all high protein dog food is created equal. At Ollie, we craft fresh, human-grade meals using real meat as the #1 ingredient, with no fillers or artificial junk—just clean, balanced nutrition built to power your pup’s day.
Understanding the Benefits of High Protein Dog Food
Protein is the foundation of your dog’s diet. It supports everything from muscle development and tissue repair to healthy skin, coat, and immune function. Active dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery all benefit from a protein-rich diet—but the source and quality of that protein matters just as much as the amount.
How Protein Supports Canine Health:
Builds and maintains lean muscle mass
Helps dogs recover from activity, injury, or stress
Supports skin, coat, and joint health
Provides lasting energy throughout the day
Strengthens the immune system and metabolic function
Many dog foods claim to be high in protein, but use meat meals, by-products, or cheap plant proteins to inflate the numbers.
Ollie does it differently. We use only fresh, high-quality animal proteins like beef, turkey, and lamb—gently cooked to preserve nutrients and maximize absorption.
How Ollie Supports High-Protein Health Naturally
At Ollie, we believe every dog deserves real food—especially when it comes to protein. Our meals are built to deliver functional nutrition that goes beyond numbers on a label. Every bite supports lean strength, energy, and long-term health.
Real Meat, Always First – Our recipes start with premium animal protein like beef, lamb, or turkey—no by-products or fillers
Gently Cooked for Maximum Bioavailability – We preserve amino acids and nutrients by cooking low and slow
No Unnecessary Plant Proteins – We don’t inflate our protein numbers with pea protein isolates or soy concentrates
Custom Portioned by Your Dog’s Needs – We adjust protein intake based on age, breed, activity, and health goals
Whether your dog is active, athletic, or simply needs better fuel, Ollie delivers clean, powerful protein—the way nature intended.
High Protein Nutrition by the Numbers
But working dogs, puppies, and active breeds often need significantly more for recovery and stamina.
High-protein diets promote lean mass and satiety, making it easier to manage body composition.
Certain amino acids support brain function, especially in senior dogs or high-energy breeds.
Meat meals and plant isolates aren’t as bioavailable or digestible as fresh, gently cooked animal protein.

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.
