Best Dog Food for Senior Dogs
As dogs age, their nutritional needs change. Whether your pup is slowing down, experiencing joint stiffness, or just needs a little extra care, the right food can help them stay happy and healthy. Ollie’s fresh, human-grade meals are crafted to support energy, digestion, and mobility—perfect for older dogs who deserve the best in their golden years.
Understanding the Nutritional Needs of Senior Dogs
As your dog gets older, their body and metabolism begin to slow down. They may develop stiff joints, have a harder time digesting food, or experience changes in weight and energy levels. What they eat plays a major role in how they feel each day.
Common Age-Related Changes in Dogs:
Slower metabolism and weight gain
Joint stiffness or reduced mobility
Loss of muscle mass
Sensitive stomach or digestive issues
Lower energy and appetite changes
A Diet Change Can Make All the Difference
At Ollie, we believe every senior pup deserves to thrive—not just get by. That’s why we make fresh, human-grade meals with ingredients that directly support the unique needs of older dogs.
High-Quality Protein – Helps maintain lean muscle mass and keeps your senior dog strong and active
Joint-Supporting Nutrients – Recipes include ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids to help ease stiffness and support mobility
Easy to Digest – Gently cooked, limited-ingredient meals that are easy on sensitive stomachs
Balanced for Senior Energy Needs – Calorie levels adjusted to support a healthy weight without sacrificing nutrition
With Ollie, you’re not just feeding your dog—you’re helping them stay healthier, longer.
Senior Dogs by the Numbers
Nearly half of dogs are considered seniors, meaning they need targeted nutrition to stay healthy and active.
Joint discomfort is common in older dogs, and omega-3 fatty acids and proper nutrition can help reduce inflammation and improve mobility.
Aging digestive systems become more sensitive. That’s why easy-to-digest, gently cooked meals are key for senior pups.
Feeding a balanced, high-quality diet has been linked to longer lifespans and improved quality of life in aging dogs.

8 years on Ollie
Dahlai, Maltese/PomeranianWhen I adopted Dahlai she was flea-infested and missing patches of fur. Today, after 8 years on Ollie, she is a vibrant, healthy dog with long locks.
I know she will live longer being on this fresh food!
Remi, Golden RetrieverRemi has so many allergies found in dry kibble. She was losing clumps of hair, itching NONSTOP, and low energy. After finding Ollie and seeing the results very quickly, I’ll never take her off of it! She went from 85lbs to her healthy weight of 58lbs. Thanks Ollie for saving my dog and giving her a very happy life!
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!
He has nails now!
Herlinda, German ShepherdHe has an autoimmune disorder, and Ollie has helped him with that. He has nails now! He used to be a hot mess, but after having him on Ollie for years, he hasn’t had any issues.
