I’ve been seeing a lot of hype about fresh dog food and am considering making the switch. Two brands I keep reading about in online forums are Ollie and The Farmer’s Dog. Does anyone have experience with either brand? What are the differences?

Both Ollie and The Farmer’s Dog are popular fresh dog food brands that provide human-grade, minimally processed meals tailored to your dog’s needs. While both offer high-quality ingredients, personalized meal plans, and home delivery, there are some key differences between the two.

Ollie offers both fresh and baked options, giving you more flexibility if you want a shelf-stable alternative. Their meals contain gently cooked meats, vegetables, and superfoods like chia seeds and blueberries. Ollie also lets you choose between full or half portions, which can be useful if you want to mix fresh food with kibble to reduce costs. See our comprehensive Ollie review here.

The Farmer’s Dog exclusively offers fresh, gently cooked meals and prioritizes whole-food ingredients with no preservatives or fillers. Their recipes are pre-portioned based on your dog’s caloric needs, making it easier to manage feeding without measuring portions yourself. The meals arrive frozen and must be thawed before serving. See our full Farmer’s Dog review here.

Both brands use vet-developed recipes and deliver meals directly to your door. If you want the option of baked food or mixing fresh with kibble, Ollie might be the better fit. If you prefer a 100% fresh food approach with precise portioning, The Farmer’s Dog could be ideal. Either way, both are great choices for improving your dog’s diet with nutrient-dense, lightly cooked meals.
