My daughter recently started feeding her dog, Rex, Ollie's fresh dog food. And I don't think I've ever seen a dog so excited about mealtime. You know those dogs that sniff their food before deciding if they're interested? That's not Rex. He can barely get his bowl on the floor before he's diving into it. His favorites? The beef dish with sweet potatoes. And don't even get him started on the dental sticks and jerky strips, especially the salmon and coconut recipe. What I really appreciate is that Ali puts the same level of thought into dog nutrition that we put into our own health. Their fresh food is made with high-quality, gut-friendly ingredients and developed by real chefs alongside veterinary nutritionists. It's designed to support healthy digestion, a shinier coat, and yes, even healthier poops. Everything arrives right at your door, perfectly portioned for your dog. They even include a storage container and a scoop, so getting started couldn't be easier. Rex clearly loves the taste, and knowing he's getting fresh, thoughtfully made nutrition has made my daughter feel really good about what she's putting in his bowl.
