Our Venison Bowl offers a range of health benefits due to its wild-harvested, nutrient-dense composition.
The Venison Mince, Venison Heart, and Venison Liver are excellent sources of high-quality, bioavailable protein, essential amino acids, and vital nutrients such as iron, zinc, and taurine, which are crucial for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting cardiovascular function. As a naturally lean and novel protein, venison is lower in inflammatory compounds and highly digestible, making it particularly beneficial for dogs with sensitive digestive systems, itchy skin, or chronic gut stress. Venison heart is especially rich in B vitamins and iron, supporting energy metabolism and oxygen transport.
The Coconut Oil, Coconut Meat, and Hemp Seeds support healthy skin and coat condition while helping to reduce inflammatory load. Coconut oil provides easily digestible medium-chain fatty acids that supply readily available energy and support gut health, while hemp seeds contribute omega fatty acids that assist with joint health, cognitive function, and immune regulation.
Finally, the Organic Kelp Powder and added Vitamins and Minerals ensure adequate intake of essential micronutrients. These support thyroid function, immune health, bone integrity, and metabolic balance, while antioxidants from whole food ingredients help protect cells from oxidative stress and support long-term wellbeing.
✔ Lean muscle & heart health
✔ Gut & digestive support
✔ Skin & coat balance
✔ Immune resilience
✔ Naturally anti-inflammatory

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.
