I want my dog to live forever. I want him to be the first dog on Mars, barking at the Martians. It’s a lofty goal, sure, but he deserves it. After all, he is the very best boy.

Unfortunately, my research has shown that dog immortality is “beyond the current means of science.” And my proposal that the entirety of the US budget be redirected to dog immortality was “laughed out of Congress.” 

So while true immortality may have to wait, I did manage to find something pretty amazing – a way to help your dog live up to 2.5 years longer. According to one study, it turns out that all you have to do is keep them at a healthy weight. It’s something I’ve always struggled with (he loves treats!) until I found Ollie, a fresh, human-grade food that’s designed to help your pup live their happiest, healthiest life.

Is Your Pup Secretly A Chunkster?

Did you know that 60% of dogs in the US are overweight? Yet in spite of that, 3 in 5 dog owners think their dog is the perfect weight. 

Where’s the disconnect? It all comes down to how dogs carry weight. When a dog is at a healthy weight, you should be able to easily feel their ribs, spine, and hip bones through their coat. When I first learned this, I was shocked! When Jimmy was younger, I was worried he was too skinny (turns out he wasn’t) and I was definitely over-feeding him treats…

Speaking of treats? They’re only supposed to make up 10% of your dog’s diet, regardless of their size!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all this new info, don’t sweat! When you sign up for Ollie, you go through a detailed intake process, all of which is intended to help set a healthy baseline for how much your dog should be eating every day in order to get them to their perfect weight. Honestly, it’s kind of like having a personal trainer put together a meal plan for your pup.

Eating Healthy Is Easy (When You’re A Dog)

Here’s the coolest thing about being a dog: eating healthy actually tastes better. At least, it does with Ollie. Your pup gets access to meals like Fresh Beef with Sweet Potatoes, Fresh Turkey with Blueberries, even Fresh Lamb with Cranberries! Take that, overcooked kibble.

And the best part is that each meal is formulated by veterinarians and specifically planned out to give your pup all the nutrients they need. They’re also free from preservatives and harmful fillers, minimally processed, and made from 100% human-grade ingredients. Honestly, if they made this stuff for people… 

When it comes to keeping your dog healthy, Ollie doesn’t stop at meals. As an Ollie customer, you also get access to their health screenings through the Ollie app! You can get insights from trained experts on your dog’s digestion (poop scans), their dental health, their skin & coat, and even their weight! 

Weight screenings, in particular, helped me out so much when I was first switching Jimmy over to Ollie! I was freaking out when I realized that he was overweight, but their team helped me make sure that he was eating and exercising right to get back down to his healthy weight. And regular check-ins every few months help keep me feeling reassured that he’s doing great. 

The Next Best Thing

I’m not giving up on dog immortality. But I have come to terms with the fact that it may take some time to get there. So between now and then, I’m happy settling for the next best thing, which is that my best boy lives the happiest, healthiest, longest life he possibly can.

And Ollie helps me know that I’m doing everything in my power to get him there. Their tailored meal plans, vet-approved formulas, health screenings, and human-grade food have all been essential tools in getting Jimmy back down to his target weight, and I’m so glad they have. Because I want him to be around forever.
