The complete guide to finding Ollie in stores, ordering online without a subscription, same-day pickup options, what PetSmart stocks versus Petco, and the situations where buying locally actually saves money over the subscription.
Following its acquisition by Spanish food group Agrolimen in February 2026, Ollie has continued expanding its retail footprint through its exclusive partnership with Petco — now reaching most of Petco’s nearly 1,500 locations nationwide. Petco added Ollie curbside pickup and same-day delivery via the Petco app in 2025, making it easier than ever to get Ollie without waiting for a subscription box. Meanwhile, Instacart now lists Ollie products available for delivery from participating Petco stores — as fast as one hour in many markets. PetSmart does not carry Ollie; the Petco partnership is exclusive, which is why searching at PetSmart comes up empty.
Ollie is sold through five distinct channels right now. The one that makes most sense depends on whether you need it today, want to trial it without a subscription, or plan to feed it long-term. Here’s what each option actually gives you.

The biggest source of confusion around buying Ollie is the Petco exclusive — most people assume a popular brand like this would be at PetSmart or on Chewy, and it isn’t. Here’s everything that matters before you drive anywhere or open a browser tab.

Does PetSmart sell Ollie dog food? No — PetSmart does not carry Ollie · Petco is the exclusive retail partner · This partnership is ongoing as of mid-2026 · Searching PetSmart’s website or walking into a store will not find Ollie fresh or baked foodThis is the most searched question about buying Ollie locally, and the answer is a clear no. PetSmart and Petco are direct competitors, and when Ollie expanded into retail in 2023, they signed an exclusive deal with Petco. That exclusivity has continued. Ollie fresh frozen, baked recipes, treats, dental chews, and supplements are all sold through Petco locations and petco.com — not through PetSmart, not through Chewy (which is Amazon-affiliated), and not through Walmart. If you’ve been driving to PetSmart or ordering through Chewy hoping to find it, the correct destination is Petco. Use the store locator at petco.com to confirm which nearby location has the Ollie freezer fixture, as not every single Petco carries the full fresh frozen selection.

Can I buy Ollie in store without a subscription? Yes — no subscription required at Petco · Walk in, pull a pack from the Ollie freezer, pay at checkout · No account creation, no auto-renew, no commitment · Fresh packs start at $10 for 1 lb · Baked bags: 2 lb and 5 lb resealable · This is how to trial Ollie with zero subscription riskThe in-store option at Petco is genuinely the cleanest way to try Ollie without any subscription anxiety. You walk in, find the dedicated Ollie fixture — there’s a freezer section for fresh frozen packs and a shelf section for baked bags and supplements — pick up what you want, and buy it the same way you’d buy any bag of kibble. No account. No auto-renew. No billing surprise two weeks later. Fresh frozen packs come in one-pound resealable pouches (starting at $10) and five-pound packs. Baked recipes come in two-pound and five-pound resealable bags. For owners who want to see whether their dog actually likes Ollie before committing to a monthly subscription, buying one or two packs at Petco to test palatability is the obvious first step — and one Ollie’s own blog now explicitly suggests.

What does Ollie sell at Petco versus what’s only on the subscription? At Petco: Fresh frozen (Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Pork), Baked (Chicken, Beef), treats, dental chews, supplements · Subscription only: Lamb and Pork fresh frozen, Half Fresh plan, personalized portioning, AI-powered stool health screening via DIG Labs · Subscription has more recipe variety and the lowest per-meal priceThe Petco fixture carries four of Ollie’s five fresh proteins — Beef, Chicken, Turkey, and Pork — plus both baked recipes (Chicken and Beef), treats, dental chews, and supplements. What you can’t get at Petco is the Lamb recipe (subscription-only), the Half Fresh plan (subscription-only, because it requires personalized calorie calculation), and the DIG Labs AI stool analysis feature that launched with the subscription app. The five-pound Petco packs are also non-portioned — you feed based on your dog’s weight using the feeding guide on the package rather than the custom daily allocation Ollie calculates through your subscription profile. For most casual buyers, what’s at Petco is plenty. For owners with large dogs who need precise portion control or specific allergy needs, the subscription’s personalization is worth more.

Is buying at Petco cheaper or more expensive than the subscription? Petco is typically more expensive per meal than the subscription rate · Subscription’s per-meal cost: roughly $1–$3 depending on dog size and plan · Petco packs at $10 for 1 lb: cost per day varies by dog size — small dogs may pay similar or slightly more, large breeds pay significantly more per serving · Subscription is cheaper per unit if you plan to feed Ollie long-termLike most subscriptions versus retail, the per-unit math favors the subscription for regular buyers. A one-pound Petco pack at $10 feeds a small dog about one to two days — so a 10-pound dog might go through $140–$180/month buying at Petco versus $60–$88/month on the subscription. The gap widens for larger dogs. That said, retail pricing at Petco is the right choice in two situations: you’re testing Ollie for the first time and want zero subscription risk, or you only want to use Ollie occasionally as a food topper or for specific dietary needs rather than as your dog’s primary food. For long-term primary feeding, the subscription is more economical — and now comes with 50% off the first box to offset the trial-period cost.

What if my closest Petco doesn’t have Ollie in stock? Check petco.com before driving — confirm your local store carries Ollie using the site’s store search · Use Petco’s BOPIS (buy online, pick up in store) or curbside pickup from the nearest stocked location · Order fresh online at petco.com with 1–2 day shipping · Use Instacart to check same-day Petco delivery coverage in your area · Or order directly from myollie.com subscription with 50% off first boxNot every Petco location carries the full Ollie fresh frozen fixture — some smaller or recently opened stores may only stock the baked line and supplements, or may not have Ollie at all. Before making the trip, use the product search at petco.com to check in-store availability at your specific zip code. The Petco app also shows live inventory. If the nearest store is 20 minutes away and might not have what you need, the easier path is ordering online at petco.com with curbside pickup (you order, they pull it for you, you pick it up without going inside) or standard 1–2 day shipping. For urgent needs — you’ve run out and your dog needs to eat — Instacart from a nearby Petco that has stock is the fastest option, as delivery can happen within the hour in metro areas.

Can I get Ollie with same-day or next-day delivery? Same-day: yes — via Instacart from participating Petco stores (availability varies by location) or Petco app same-day delivery · Next-day: petco.com offers 1–2 day shipping on Ollie products · Subscription delivery: Ollie ships fresh frozen on a schedule, typically 2–5 day transit · Same-day is best for emergencies; subscription is best for planned regular feedingThe fastest path to Ollie food today is Instacart. If a Petco near you participates in Instacart delivery — which covers most major U.S. metro areas — you can order Ollie packs and have them delivered within one to two hours. Petco’s own same-day delivery (through the Petco app or website) works similarly in qualifying zip codes. For next-day, petco.com’s standard shipping usually arrives in one to two business days. The Ollie subscription itself ships with dry ice on a pre-set schedule — it’s not an on-demand service, so if you’ve run out before your next delivery, Petco or Instacart is the bridge. A practical tip: set a standing reminder when you’re down to your last two or three packs from the subscription, so you’re never caught without food while waiting for the next delivery date.

I’m traveling — can I pick up Ollie in a different city? Yes — Petco’s national footprint means Ollie is findable in most major U.S. cities · Use petco.com store locator with destination city to confirm availability · Baked line (no freezer needed) is easiest to find and transport · Fresh frozen requires a cooler for transport from store to destination · Ollie’s Roam/travel plan on the subscription doesn’t apply to in-store Petco purchasesThis situation comes up more than people expect: you’ve subscribed to Ollie, your dog is used to it, and you’re driving or flying to visit family and want to keep the diet consistent. The cleanest solution is looking up Petco locations at your destination before you leave, checking petco.com for in-store availability, and either picking it up on arrival or having it ready for curbside. The baked line (Chicken and Beef, in resealable bags) is the most travel-friendly because it doesn’t need a freezer — pack a few bags and you’re set for a week-long trip. Fresh frozen works if you have freezer access at your destination, but transporting it between cities requires a good cooler and isn’t ideal for long journeys. For extended travel, the Ollie subscription also offers a pause feature so you’re not paying for deliveries to your home address while you’re gone.
- Need it today: Check petco.com for curbside pickup at your nearest Petco, or use Instacart for same-day delivery from a participating Petco store.
- Want to trial without subscribing: Walk into Petco, grab one or two fresh frozen packs or a 2 lb baked bag. No account, no commitment.
- Best long-term value: Subscribe at myollie.com — 50% off the first box, lowest per-meal cost, free shipping, and personalized portioning.
- Don’t have a Petco nearby: The subscription ships to virtually any U.S. address nationwide including rural areas.
- PetSmart, Chewy, Amazon: Ollie is not sold through any of these. Petco is the only authorized retail channel.
