My dog is the opposite of a picky eater.
So I’ve beenon the hunt for a new diet with fewer caloriesfor my mini Australian shepherd, Cleo.
Ollie Fresh Pet Food
Thesubscription-based dog food companycreates fresh, human-grade meals for pups thatmeet AAFCO standards.
Formulated by vets, the minimally processed food ismade in the U.S. with natural ingredients, like high-quality meat.
Every meal plan is catered to your dog’s breed and build tosupport a healthy weight.
Here’s what happened when Cleoswitched her food over to Olliefor one month.
Once you’ve shared this information, Ollie finds the ideal caloric intake for your pup.
However, I didn’t want to keep Cleo too much in her current comfort zone.
So I also opted for the Beef Recipe to see how she felt about other entrees.
You canchoose up to four recipes.
Every box arrivesentrees frozen solid due to dry ice.
I found the rectangle packages stacked easily to ensure they took up minimal space.
Just remember to alwaysfeed your pup the defrosted entree within 48 hours of opening it.
What my dog thought of Ollie
Only one critic really matters here: Cleo.
As mentioned, Cleo really is not picky about food.
Remember the plain lettuce I mentioned before?
So how can I know Cleo liked Ollie more than her old kibble?
I decided toconduct a mini experiment.
I think her preference for Ollie was reflected throughout the transition over to the fresh food.
When the bowl was evenly split between her old and new food, she still always ate Ollie first.
What’s more, I’venever seen my dog lick her lips so much.
However, the transition to Ollie’s food was not perfectly seamless.
It was a good reminder to alwayskeep the transition slow and consistent when switching up your dog’s diet.
In the end, I’m glad we made the switch.
This was a huge win for me!
