Our Beef Bowl offers a range of health benefits due to its nutrient-rich composition.
The Beef Mince, Beef Heart, and Beef Liver are excellent sources of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and vital nutrients like taurine, which are crucial for maintaining muscle mass and supporting heart function. Beef heart is particularly rich in B vitamins and iron, which are important for energy metabolism and oxygen transport.
Whilst the Walnut Oil, and Flaxseed Oil promote healthy skin and a shiny coat, they also reduce inflammation, which is essential for dog joint health. They also provide Omega-3 fatty acids which support brain function and cognitive health in dogs.
Finally, the Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Supplement, Organic Kelp Powder, Vitamin E, and Vitamin D Supplements ensure adequate intake of essential minerals and vitamins. Calcium and magnesium are crucial for bone strength and development, while vitamin D aids in calcium absorption. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and kelp powder provides trace minerals that support overall immune function.
Our beef dog food is designed to support whole-body health, delivering targeted nutritional benefits that help your hound stay strong, active and thriving at every life stage.
✔ Muscle & heart
✔ Joint & skin
✔ Immunity
✔ Bones
✔ Anti-inflammatory

What our pet parent community thinks
Real reviews from real pet parents
Amazing 🤩
After 12 months of trial and error resulting in our young dog becoming overweight and having constant stomach upsets, I decided to go down the lightly cooked route and came across 5 hounds. After 10 weeks my dog has had a complete transformation, has not had one stomach upset and is in amazing shape. I have also found Dr Will and Dr Sienna to be very helpful and knowledgeable when I had to make a few tweaks in Franklin’s meal plan to support his urinary health. I think the photo speaks for itself….
We love 5 hounds!
Our Vizsla Mavis has been on 5Hounds since the beginning and we have seen so many improvements in her overall health. Her skin and coat are clear and shiny, she doesn’t suffer from tummy upsets, her breath is fresh and her weight is perfect. She is full of energy and looks forward to every meal. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
Joey is back to his cheeky, sassy little self
Joey became quite sick last year and we discovered he had a LOT of food allergies and sensitivities. He was on crocodile protein but it was not a long Term solution. Enter Dr Will and 5 Hounds. I was nervous at first, as Joey had been hospitalised and everything made him really sick. Dr Will was so supportive and was there to give me veterinarian advice and support through Joey’s transition journey. Dr Will had recommended the Goat protein that he has and to do a much slower transition than normal. I followed his advice and guidance and Joey is doing amazing! I can’t recommend 5 Hounds and Dr Will enough! I am so happy and so is Joey and his little tummy.

Our beef comes from Provenir, a free-range, grass-fed Australian producer whose cattle are pasture-raised their entire life, kept hormone-free, and processed on-site so the animals never go through the stress of livestock transport. The pasture-raised eggs in the recipe come from Chooks at the Rooke (Certified Pastured by PROOF, stocked at just 94 hens per hectare) and Active Acres Farm, Dr Will and Dr Sienna's own regenerative farm.
