Fresh dog food company Ollie acquired AI-powered diagnostic firm DIG Labs and introduced a proprietary process called Foodback Loop that uses millions of data points to enhance product development, recipe formulation and feeding algorithms to advance dog health and wellness.
Foodback Loop has already provided invaluable insights for Ollie, such as the fact that 58% of dogs had healthy stool before eating Ollie, and after a one to two weeks of eating Ollie’s foods 75% of dogs had healthy stool.
“Pet parent demographics are shifting to younger generations, and with the acquisition of DIG Labs, we are meeting their demand for tech-enabled and personalized products to improve the quality of life for their pets and themselves,” said Nick Stafford, chief executive officer of Ollie, “We are the only pet food company creating a direct data-led link between what we are feeding our dogs and their health outcomes through individual pet data on stool, weight, skin and coat, and teeth and gums.”
