Ollie Recipe Spotlight: Fresh Lamb With Cranberries

High-Quality Ingredients, Recipes Crafted By Veterinary Nutritionists

Lamb

Lamb is a lean meat rich in amino acids that provides the building block for muscle. This protein is a great source of omega 3 fatty-acids and B vitamins, which aid metabolism. Lamb also contains zinc, an essential mineral for the immune system and building healthy tissue.

Why is Lamb Good for Dogs?

Chickpeas

These beans are another great source of protein, as well as fiber for digestive health. They provide phytonutrients, which serve as supplemental antioxidants to protect the body’s cells.

Butternut Squash

Yellow-orange vegetables in particular have been shown to have health benefits for dogs who eat them on a regular basis. Butternut squash is a great source of beta-carotene and vitamin A, which supports healthy vision and acts as an antioxidant. It also provides a steady supply of potassium to keep electrolytes in balance.

Cranberries

These berries contain compounds shown to reduce certain urinary tract infections, and which may also help with oral health. They also contain vitamins E and C to prevent cellular damage from free radicals.

Kale

This green superfood is packed full of antioxidants, B vitamins, and vitamin K. Kale’s health benefits, which include potential cancer prevention, are linked to its high concentration of antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Rutabaga

This vegetable provides a host of essential nutrients such as B vitamins to help maintain energy, minerals for bone health, and healthy fiber for a normal digestive tract.

Spinach

This leafy green nourishes your pup from their bright eyes to their wagging tail. Spinach contains carotenoids such as lutein for eye health, vitamin K to support the blood, bones, and heart, and free-radical fighting phytonutrients and antioxidants for a healthy immune defense. 

Sunflower oil

This plant-based oil is an excellent source of dietary fat which helps to support and fuel normal body functions including vitamin absorption, brain and nerve development, inflammation regulation, and cell structure maintenance. Most notably for many dog owners, sunflower oil’s high omega-6 fatty acid content will help your pup’s coat become soft and lustrous.

Our process

We worked with a veterinary nutritionist to develop our delicious beef recipe. Our nutritionist helps us ensure that we use the right ingredients in the right combination to make our food healthy and safe for your pup. Our ingredients are carefully sourced and then prepared and gently cooked in our USDA-certified kitchen. When these meals are ready for your pup to eat, they’re packaged into small packs and frozen to preserve the nutrients and keep them fresh (and safe) for the journey to your pup’s bowl.

Once these packs arrive at your home, you can store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Follow all packaging directions with regard to storing and serving your pup’s meals.
