Dog Food For Picky Eaters
Picky eating habits can strain your dog’s health and your patience. If you’re tired of scraping dog food into the trash or settling for lesser-quality food simply because your pup eats it, Ollie serves up a solution with fresh, wholesome foods dogs naturally crave.
The unhealthy truth about picky eating
Grazing behaviors and hunger strikes can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations.
Inconsistent meals and unusual foods can disrupt your pup’s nutritional balance by providing too many or too few vital nutrients.
Feeding your pet whatever they’ll eat can throw their intestinal tract for a loop—especially if the foods are unfamiliar or highly processed.
Ravenous dogs may resort to digging in the garbage or food-stealing to satisfy their hunger.

Ollie wins over picky eaters every day
"We thought we were going to lose him.
With Ollie, Grady eats with gusto and hasn't refused a meal since. I genuinely believe Ollie saved his life."
"Grady was having terrible gut issues. We tested for everything—all negative. After many vet visits and thousands of dollars spent, there were still no answers. He had a poor appetite, diarrhea, and intermittent vomiting. We tried many foods—dry, canned, and prescription diets. We thought we were going to lose him. From the first Ollie meal, there was an immediate change. He started scarfing down every meal, putting on weight, and looking better than ever. The vomiting stopped, and the diarrhea improved almost overnight."

She eats!
Coco, Shih TzuCoco used to refuse food daily. She now sits and waits at my feet for Ollie. I was amazed. Ollie has made my life easier not worrying whether or not she will eat!
No more gas or bloating
Mora, PitbullWhen we rescued Mora, we had difficulty finding food that she could eat. We tried everything and it would always leave her gassy and bloated. She would go days without eating. We decided to test Ollie and it was an instant hit! Mora now does a happy dance when it's time to eat and no longer experiences gas or bloating. Going to Ollie was a game-changer for our precious girl.
Picky eater no more
Lexi, GoldendoodleLexi was picky and refused to eat. We went through so many different brands, which was difficult considering her allergies. She LOVES the Lamb meal and we just started incorporating the Beef, which she is super excited about.
Ollie literally changed my dog!
Seymour, Yorkshire TerrierSeymour was such a picky eater, we literally tried everything, but he wouldn’t eat it. He had severe skin allergies and some digestive issues. When we fed him Ollie, he cleaned his bowl for the first time in his life. He absolutely loves this food! His skin allergies have cleared up, and his coat is so soft and shiny. Ollie literally changed my dog!

Can't decide on a flavor for your picky eater?
That’s OK! Mix and match your pup’s favorite flavors and textures when you build your custom meal plan.
Introducing your picky pup to Ollie
How you transition your picky pup to a new food can determine whether or not they accept the change. Successful transitions involve gradually introducing the new food a little at a time while removing equal portions of the old food over a 7 to 10-day period. This gives your dog’s digestive tract a chance to adapt and prevents stress or anxiety that an abrupt, cold-turkey switch could cause.
Here’s a sample timeline to help you make a smooth switch

PRO TIP FOR PICKY EATERS:
If at any time your pup experiences digestive upset or appears uninterested, go back a few steps and start again. You may also try gently warming the food for added aroma. Remove any uneaten food after 20 minutes to prevent spoiling.
