Introducing your dog to Ollie

We gathered all of our best tips to help you and your pup smoothly transition to their new food.

Making the Switch

No matter what your pup’s diet looked like before, we recommend giving them a transition period to adjust to Ollie. Seven days is ideal for most dogs, but if you see signs of digestive upset, pause for a day or two and resume once your pup’s digestion is back to normal. Find your plan below.
