What is the difference between Olewo Carrots and Olewo Rootsies? How do I choose the right one?

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.
