Same category, different philosophies
Nom Nom behaves like a nutrition-science company: everything published, portions calculated to the calorie, recipes rotated freely. Ollie behaves like a product company: more formats (fresh, baked, mixed), more accessories, more plan configurability. Neither approach is wrong — match it to whether you optimize for verifiable data or for fitting fresh food into a real budget.
The price lever is format, not brand
On all-fresh plans the two brands are within ~10% of each other for most dog sizes. The meaningful savings come from Ollie's baked and half-fresh plans — often 30–50% less per day — which Nom Nom doesn't counter. If you're comparing these two purely on price, you're really deciding whether you're comfortable with partially-baked plans.
Questions
Are Ollie and Nom Nom both corporate-owned now?
Yes. Mars Petcare has owned Nom Nom since January 2022; Agrolimen (the Spanish group behind Affinity Petcare) acquired Ollie in February 2026. Both operate as independent brands.
Which has better published nutrition data?
Nom Nom — complete guaranteed analysis and per-cup calories on every public recipe page. Ollie publishes calorie density and nutrition PDFs but serves some GA data in ways that are harder to verify.
Which is cheaper?
Roughly a tie on all-fresh plans; Ollie's baked and mixed plans are substantially cheaper than anything Nom Nom offers.

Put your own price and pack size against either brand's calorie density and settle the cost question with your numbers rather than ours.
Nutrition figures come from the sourced label database; recall statements are checked against FDA records in the recall tracker. Brands reformulate and reprice without announcing it, which is why the checked-date is printed at the top — if this page and the label in front of you disagree, the label wins and we want to know: send a correction.
