Olewo does not publish specific calorie counts for its products.  As vegetable-based dog food toppers, calorie labeling is not required.

Olewo Carrots are made from 100% fresh carrots, and Olewo Red Beets are made from 100% fresh red beets. Both are naturally low in calories and consist primarily of fiber, moisture, and naturally occurring nutrients.

Because of their simple composition and vegetable origin, Olewo Carrots and Red Beets are commonly used as low-calorie nutritional additions to a dog’s regular meals.

After opening, Olewo products should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light.

For best quality, keep the product in the original bag and seal it tightly with a clip after each use to protect against moisture and humidity. Do not refrigerate or freeze the dehydrated product, as moisture can compromise quality. When stored properly, Olewo Carrots and Red Beets maintain their freshness.

Olewo products may be fed during pregnancy and lactation when used in moderation as part of a complete and balanced diet and according to the recommended serving amounts.

Olewo Carrots and Olewo Red Beets are made from whole vegetables and provide naturally occurring nutrients commonly found in carrots and beets. Many dog parents choose to continue feeding Olewo during these life stages as a simple vegetable addition to regular meals.

Because nutritional needs can vary during pregnancy and nursing, dog parents should consult their veterinarian before making dietary changes, especially if the dog has specific health concerns.

Yes. Olewo products can be used long-term as part of a balanced diet when fed according to the recommended serving amounts.

Olewo Carrots and Olewo Red Beets are made from simple, single-ingredient vegetables and prepared for easy rehydration and feeding. Many dog parents choose to feed Olewo on an ongoing basis as a consistent nutritional addition to their dog’s meals.

Dogs with specific health conditions or dietary restrictions should be evaluated by a veterinarian before long-term dietary changes are made.

Yes. Olewo products are intended for daily feeding when used according to the recommended serving amounts.

Many dog parents include Olewo Carrots and/or Olewo Red Beets as part of their dog’s regular feeding routine as a vegetable-based addition that provides fiber, moisture, and naturally occurring nutrients. As with any dietary addition, proper portioning and consistency are important.

Yes. Dogs may receive one daily serving of Olewo Carrots and one daily serving of Olewo Red Beets when fed according to the recommended amounts.

Many dog parents choose to:

• Feed Red Beets with one meal

• Feed Carrots with the other meal

Others prefer to mix and rehydrate both products together. Either approach is acceptable as long as each product’s individual serving guidelines are followed.

Olewo Carrots and Olewo Red Beets may be offered to cats in very small amounts and for short-term use only.

Cats are obligate carnivores, and vegetables should make up only a minimal portion of their overall diet. Olewo is not intended to be a primary or long-term food for cats.

If offered to cats, Olewo should be used:

• In very small quantities

• For short periods only

• Occasionally, not as a daily food

Cats with specific dietary needs or health concerns should be evaluated by a veterinarian before introducing any new foods or toppers.

Because Olewo Carrots are made from 100% fresh carrots, some variation in water absorption can occur from batch to batch. Natural differences in texture and density affect how much water the pellets absorb during rehydration.

The recommended water amount is a general guideline. If a batch absorbs slightly more or less water, you can adjust the amount to achieve the texture your dog prefers.

The most important factor is measuring the correct amount of carrot pellets based on your dog’s weight, as listed on the Daily Feeding Chart.

Olewo Carrots are made from 100% fresh carrots. Because they are a whole-food product, natural color variations can occur from batch to batch. Factors such as growing conditions, weather, and harvest timing can all influence carrot color.

Most batches produce the familiar bright orange pellets, but some batches may appear lighter yellow-orange or slightly darker. These natural variations are normal and do not affect the quality or safety of the product.

Olewo does not use artificial colors, dyes, or additives to standardize appearance. Any variation you see reflects the natural characteristics of the vegetables used.

Yes. Olewo Carrots may be introduced to puppies in small, age-appropriate amounts as part of a balanced diet.

Many breeders include simple vegetable additions such as Olewo Carrots when feeding puppies. Olewo Carrots provide fiber, moisture, and nutrients from a single-ingredient vegetable source.

Because puppies are sensitive to dietary changes, it is important to follow the recommended feeding guidelines and introduce any new food gradually. For puppies with specific dietary needs, consult your veterinarian.

Adding oil is optional.

Olewo Carrots naturally contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A. Because vitamin A is fat-soluble, dietary fat can play a role in this process.

Many dogs already receive sufficient fat from their regular diet or supplements, such as fish oil. In these cases, no additional oil is necessary.

If you choose to add oil, only a very small amount is needed.

Yes. Olewo Carrots can be fed to senior dogs when used according to the recommended serving amounts.

As dogs age, some pet parents prefer to include softer, rehydrated foods and additional moisture in meals. Olewo Carrots provide fiber and naturally occurring nutrients from carrots in an easy-to-rehydrate form.

Olewo Carrots are often well tolerated by older dogs. Dogs with specific health conditions or dietary requirements should be evaluated by a veterinarian before dietary changes are made.

Olewo Carrots are typically mixed into a dog’s regular food. However, a rehydrated portion may also be fed separately if desired.

Olewo Carrot pellets are best fed rehydrated.

Rehydration softens the pellets and makes them easier to mix into your dog’s food. Adding rehydrated carrots also introduces additional moisture to the meal, which many dog parents prefer, especially when feeding dry food.

Some dog parents choose to sprinkle the dry pellets directly onto food and report that their dogs enjoy them. However, rehydrating the pellets is the recommended method.

If you prefer a product that does not require rehydration, Rootsies Digestive Dog Food Topper can be mixed directly into food.

Olewo Carrots are intended to be prepared fresh for each meal. Rehydrating the pellets takes only a few minutes and helps maintain optimal product quality.

Once rehydrated, the carrots are exposed to light, air, and moisture, which may gradually reduce certain naturally occurring nutrients over time. For this reason, fresh preparation is recommended.

If needed, rehydrated Olewo Carrots may be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for a short period. For best quality, we recommend using prepared carrots within one to two days.

Yes. Olewo Carrots can be added to any type of dog food, including raw diets.

Many dog parents mix rehydrated Olewo Carrots into raw meals alongside animal proteins. Olewo Carrots can also be used with kibble, canned food, or home-prepared diets.

For best results, rehydrate the pellets before feeding and follow the recommended serving amounts based on your dog’s weight.

Many dogs enjoy chewing on raw carrots, but dogs have limited ability to break down raw plant fibers. As a result, much of the vegetable material may pass through the digestive system without being fully utilized.

Olewo Carrots are prepared in a way that breaks down the vegetable structure, making them easier to rehydrate and incorporate into a dog’s meals. This preparation allows dogs to more readily access the natural fiber and nutrients found in carrots.

Raw carrots can still be offered occasionally as a crunchy treat. For regular feeding, prepared carrots such as Olewo Carrots are often preferred as a meal addition.

Cooking carrots can change their nutrient profile, particularly water-soluble vitamins. Additionally, fresh vegetables may begin to lose nutrients during storage after harvest.

Olewo Carrots are produced using carrots grown in Northern Germany and prepared shortly after harvest. The carrots are gently dehydrated and prepared specifically for dogs, making them easy to re-hydrate and incorporate into meals.

When re-hydrated, Olewo Carrots resemble fresh food in texture and provide the natural components of carrots in a convenient, shelf-stable form.

Olewo has been producing vegetable-based products for dogs for decades, offering a consistent and easy-to-use vegetable addition to regular feeding routines.

Olewo Red Beets can be fed dry or re-hydrated. Many dog parents prefer to feed them re-hydrated so they soften and mix more easily into meals.

For best results, simply moisten the dehydrated red beets with warm water before mixing them into your dog’s food. Always follow the recommended serving amounts based on your dog’s weight.

No. Olewo Red Beets are not beet pulp.

Beet pulp is a by-product of sugar production made from sugar beets after the sugar has been extracted. It is commonly used as a fiber source in animal feeds.

Olewo Red Beets are made from whole red table beets grown for human consumption. Olewo uses the entire beet, not a processing by-product. The red beets are gently prepared and dehydrated for use as a dog food topper.

Because Olewo Red Beets are made from whole vegetables, they provide fiber and naturally occurring plant components rather than serving as a filler ingredient.

Yes. Olewo Red Beets can be included in the diets of senior dogs when fed according to the recommended serving amounts.

Some pet parents choose to add rehydrated vegetable toppers such as Olewo Red Beets to senior dogs’ meals to provide fiber, moisture, and naturally occurring plant components in a soft, easy-to-mix form.

As with any dietary addition for older dogs, pet parents should consult their veterinarian if their dog has specific health conditions or special nutritional requirements.

Olewo Red Beets are typically mixed into a dog’s regular food. However, a portion may also be fed separately if desired, either dry or re-hydrated.

Yes. Olewo Red Beets can be added to any type of dog food, including raw diets.

Many dog parents mix rehydrated Olewo Red Beets into raw meals alongside animal proteins. Olewo Red Beets can also be used with kibble, canned food, or home-prepared meals.

For best results, rehydrate the product before feeding and follow the recommended serving amounts based on your dog’s weight.

Olewo Red Beets may be introduced to puppies once they are eating solid foods, using small, age-appropriate amounts.

Some pet parents choose to introduce Olewo Carrots first and add Olewo Red Beets later as part of dietary variety. As with any new food, Olewo Red Beets should be introduced gradually.

Because puppies are sensitive to dietary changes, it is important to follow recommended serving guidelines and consult a veterinarian if you have questions about your puppy’s diet.

Some dogs enjoy chewing on raw vegetables, but dogs have limited ability to break down raw plant fibers. As a result, much of the vegetable material may pass through the digestive system largely unchanged.

Olewo Red Beets are prepared in a way that breaks down the vegetable structure and allows them to be easily re-hydrated and mixed into meals. This preparation makes it easier to incorporate red beets into a dog’s regular feeding routine.

Raw red beets may be offered occasionally as a treat, but for regular feeding, prepared red beets such as Olewo Red Beets are often preferred as a meal addition.

Olewo Carrots and Olewo Rootsies are both vegetable-based products used to support digestion in dogs, but they differ in ingredients and preparation.

Olewo Carrots are made from 100% carrots and are Olewo’s original product, developed by the German manufacturer nearly 50 years ago. The pellets must be re-hydrated before feeding. Many dog parents choose Olewo Carrots as a simple, single-ingredient option when their dogs experience digestive upset or need additional fiber and moisture.

Olewo Rootsies, introduced in 2020, are made from a blend of potatoes, carrots, and alfalfa. The pellets do not require re-hydration and can be sprinkled directly onto food. Rootsies are often chosen for dogs with sensitive stomachs or when convenience is a priority.

Which should I choose?

• Choose Olewo Carrots if you prefer a single-ingredient product and don’t mind re-hydrating.

• Choose Olewo Rootsies if your dog has a sensitive stomach or you prefer a ready-to-use topper.

Some dog parents use both products at different times, depending on their dog’s needs. As with any dietary change, introduce new foods gradually and consult your veterinarian for ongoing digestive concerns.

Yes, you can! Olewo Rootsies pellets do not need to be rehydrated thanks to the great digestibility of the potatoes, which are the main ingredient.
