Best Low Fat Dog Food

If your dog struggles with weight gain, pancreatitis, or sensitive digestion, switching to a low fat diet can help them feel better and stay healthier long term. At Ollie, we make fresh, gently cooked meals using lean proteins, whole veggies, and no greasy fillers, so your pup gets all the nutrition they need, with less fat and zero compromise on taste.

Understanding When Dogs Need Low Fat Food

Fat is an important nutrient for dogs, but too much of the wrong kind can cause real problems. Dogs who are overweight, prone to pancreatitis, or have digestive issues often do better on a lower fat diet that’s easier on their system and supports healthy weight management.


Why Some Dogs Need a Low Fat Diet:

  • Helps manage pancreatitis and reduces flare-ups

  • Eases digestion for dogs with sensitive stomachs

  • Supports healthy weight loss and maintenance

  • Reduces the risk of fatty buildup in the blood

  • Provides steady energy without greasy fillers

Many store-bought kibbles are packed with cheap fats and oils that can upset your dog’s system.

Ollie keeps it clean with lean proteins, natural fiber, and balanced nutrients that help your dog thrive, without loading up on unnecessary fat.


How Ollie Supports a Low Fat Diet Naturally

Ollie fresh recipes are crafted to help your dog get the right balance of protein, fiber, and fat, using real ingredients you’d feel good serving at your own table. We focus on lean meats, plenty of moisture, and gentle cooking—making our meals easy to digest and naturally lower in fat.

  • Lean Proteins Like Turkey and Chicken – Deliver the protein your dog needs, with less fat than fattier cuts or processed meat meals

  • No Greasy By-Products or Fillers – No added oils, no rendered fats, and no hidden grease bombs

  • Whole Veggies for Fiber and Satiety – Ingredients like pumpkin, carrots, and spinach help your dog feel full and support healthy digestion

  • Portioned to Help Maintain a Healthy Weight – Custom meal plans match your dog’s size, age, and activity to help avoid overfeeding

Whether you’re managing a health issue like pancreatitis or just trying to help your dog slim down safely, Ollie makes low fat feeding simple and satisfying.

Raphael

Once I switched to Ollie, he immediately changed!

Raphael, Australian Labradoodle
5 star rating for testimonial

Raphael had a very hard time with food. He used to vomit bile, frequently get diarrhea, and had frequent visits to the vet. He would skip meals and turn away from food. Once I switched to Ollie, he immediately changed! Raphael’s condition improved significantly, he stopped getting sick and licked his bowl clean! He’s so much happier, he’s gained weight and we hardly visit the vet anymore!

The best food for my dog!

Bear, French Bulldog
5 star rating for testimonial

Bear 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, 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!

Grady

We thought we were going to lose him, I truly believe Ollie saved his life

Grady, Labrador Retriever
5 star rating for testimonial

He had poor appetite, lots of diarrhea and intermittent vomiting. After many vet visits and thousands of dollars spent, there were no answers. We tried many foods- dry, canned, prescription diet, and nothing worked for more than a few weeks, then it was back to not eating again. As a last resort, we tried Ollie, and there was an immediate change. He started scarfing down every meal, put on weight, and started to look better than he ever had. The vomiting stopped, and the diarrhea improved almost overnight. He hasn’t refused a meal since. He eats with gusto now and looks for more.
