Omega Rich Fish Dog Food

Lightly cooked at 75°C through the sous vide method, then flash frozen. Hot enough to kill parasites and bacteria without oxidising the delicate omega-3s in the salmon and sardines.

Yes. The Fish Meal is formulated to meet FEDIAF and AAFCO complete-and-balanced standards for both adult dogs and puppies. Australian salmon and sardines deliver complete protein and omega-3 fatty acids, green-lipped mussel adds joint-supporting compounds, and marine algae oil tops up DHA and EPA. A vegetable base of sweet potato, carrots, kale, broccoli and button mushrooms, our Golden Paste (turmeric, ginger, black pepper) and a vitamin and mineral premix round out the recipe at a 1.25:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio and a 1.10:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio for adults.

Frozen until needed, thaw overnight in the fridge, serve within 4 days. Keep any leftovers sealed in an airtight container to protect the flavour.

The salmon in our Fish Bowl comes from two wild caught sources. Wild Alaskan salmon is imported into Australia by Harris Smokehouse, and Australian salmon is caught by the Tapley family through Port Lincoln Salmon, a South Australian operation with more than 50 years in fishing. They use aerial spotting to locate fishing grounds efficiently and purse seine nets that don't touch the seafloor and create no bycatch.

The sardines come from Port Lincoln Sardine, a multi-generational South Australian family business that follows Wildlife Interaction Codes of Practice for minimal environmental impact. 

5 Hounds is the first Australian pet business recognised by GoodFish for sustainable seafood sourcing. More detail on our Farming Partners page.

Yes. We offer a puppy-specific version with adjusted nutrient density, and puppies are matched to it automatically when their Meal Plan is set up via the Puppy Club.

Gradually over 5 to 7 days, mixing Fish with your dog's current food and increasing the proportion daily. Stronger aromas are normal, and most dogs adjust quickly. Important: immediately pause the transition if you notice signs of upset, including vomiting or diarrhoea. If these symptoms persist or you’re at all concerned, contact a trusted veterinarian.
