Our take
A new trend has emerged coined the “humanization of pets.” Pets are being invited into the bed or the couch, fed more nutritious food, provided top-notch healthcare and treated as members of the family. Ollie is going after one of the fastest growing segments of that market: organic, healthy and environmentally friendly dog food.
Ollie’s diet is curated by vets and packaged for the correct serving size based on your pet’s age and weight. The food is prepared in USDA approved kitchens that, when not cooking for Ollie, produces human food. This level of high quality is what makes Ollie so appealing for pet owners.
Crucially, the startup is a DTC brand, meaning that its success is driven wholly by its online presence and word of mouth, as well attracting funding from celebrities like Serena Williams. Given the exceptional quality of its product, strength of consumer market, and loyal customer base, it is poised for continued growth.
