My dog, Maverick, is my best friend, so of course I only want to feed him the healthiest food. Honestly, though, picking the best dog food service isn’t a walk in the park. 🐕
A few of my friends love The Pets Table (HelloFresh's new launch! 👀) and Ollie, which both come with personalized meal plan options tailored to our fur babies. Which of these doggie-dining options won over Maverick’s heart? Let’s dish out the results! 🐾
If you're looking for the picky eater-approved food… The Pets Table
Maverick won't touch most food, so getting him to eat is one of my biggest hurdles. When I discovered that The Pets Table spent TWO YEARS testing and trying different recipes, I figured there was no way he wouldn't like it.
Let me tell you–I breathed the biggest sigh of relief when he started cleaning his bowl. It was the first time that he enjoyed his food enough to eat it without an intervention!
Not only is Maverick obsessed with his Air-Dried Beef and Berries food and Fresh Beef Stew with Carrots, but I’ve noticed increased energy and more solid poops in the time he’s been eating it!
If you already love HelloFresh (AKA: the meal kit that has thousands of five-star reviews)… The Pets Table
If you already love HelloFresh, keep reading! When I heard that the HelloFresh group launched their new pet food brand The Pets Table, I was over the moon. Sure, it's new to the scene, but I wasn't worried: HelloFresh is one of the most well-known meal kits in the world, and they back up their reputation with over 10,000 5-star reviews.
So, you can 100% trust that The Pets Table is well-versed in delivering a top-notch food and A+ customer experience. Here's what to expect:

If you’re looking for the highest-quality ingredients… it’s a tie
The Pets Table and Ollie are quite the connoisseurs when it comes to sourcing high-quality, human-grade ingredients. Both offer food made with whole ingredients and no fillers, and are delivered frozen to ensure quality.
If you’re looking for the more affordable plan… The Pets Table
The Pets Table and Ollie both have fresh, half-fresh, and mixed plans, but The Pets Table one-ups Ollie here with an additional Air-Dried plan. Ollie has Baked food, but it’s only available as part of the Mixed plan.
For a typical 30lb dog who is fed 2 times per day, The Pets Table’s Fresh food costs around $2.89 per meal. Ollie’s Fresh costs around $3 per meal.
However, the real win for The Pets Table comes via their Air-Dried food plan—for the same typical dog, it costs around $1.59 per meal. Ollie has Baked food, but you can only get Baked food as part of a Mixed Fresh/Baked plan, which costs around $2.43 per day. So, The Pets Table is about 35% cheaper than Ollie there!
Here’s how The Pets Table’s plan costs break down:
- Fresh (starting at $2.89/meal)
- Mixed ($2.57/meal)
- Half of Fresh (starting at $1.90/meal)
- Air-Dried (starting at $1.59/meal) - 40% more affordable than most Fresh/Frozen options out there!
Plus, The Pets Table’s two-week free trial, 50% off the first box, and money-back guarantee drive home the affordability.
Maverick and I love The Pets Table
While both contenders put up a strong fight, The Pets Table nosed ahead with its meal varieties affordability, and overall user experience. Little touches like the how-to transition guide really made for a positive experience for Maverick and I.
Truth be told, the choice between Ollie and The Pets Table ultimately boils down to personal preferences, budget, and the specific dietary needs of your beloved pet. But for this dog parent, I’m going with The Pets Table!
