Written by the company

Founded by vet and dog nutrition expert Dr Will, 5 Hounds creates healthy, fresh dog food solutions for real dogs. Our gently cooked, subscription-based meal plans and functional treats are deeply nourishing and human-grade, crafted with the same care you'd want for your family, because dogs are family. Dr Will created 5 Hounds after asking a simple question: "What can I feed my dogs to help them live a longer, healthier life?" As a veterinarian committed to animal health and ethical practices, he grew frustrated with the poor-quality, highly processed dog food available in Australia. Determined to do better for his own five hounds, he set out to create meals that were nutritionally complete, ethically sourced, human-grade and guided by science. Using his veterinary expertise, Dr Will developed a range of fresh, gently cooked dog food designed for optimal digestibility and long-term wellbeing. Today, he continues to lead 5 Hounds with the same mission: helping dogs live longer, happier, healthier lives through real food that truly nourishes. Every dog has unique nutritional needs and deserves tailored health support.

Top Tier Convenience and Consistency

Absolutely love having the option to try the tasters first! This gave me a really good indication on what Floki liked. We have had two subscription deliveries now and I am so impressed. Floki now does a dinner dance while he waits for his meals, he loves them so much. The fish is an absolute hit, but he also really enjoy the kangaroo and beef. His coat is so incredibly soft and his poo's are perfect! Finally :) So glad we found 5 Hounds!

Freida Mini Schnauzer

My Freida is a 6 and a half year old Mini Schnauzer. Her groomer, from Barwon Heads, recommended 5 Hounds, and I am so glad she did. I was making Freida's own food, which was very time consuming. 5 Hounds is already fully prepared for me, full of good and healthy ingredients and she loves it. I now know exactly what is in her food and how good it is for her. She loves the Kangaroo, Goat, Beef and Venison and I alternate them so she gets a great variety. She is very healthy and no problems with her tummy. I like the fact that Dr. Will is a real person who supports local suppliers, employs locals and is a local too. I have been telling all my doggie friends about 5 Hounds.

Genuine and the very best

I am a massive supporter of small and local conscious businesses who are genuinely passionate about what they do for their own - and then sharing that love with their customers. 5 Hounds is one of these special companies. Since starting with 5 Hounds, my little French Bulldog Ruby has been thriving with her meals and loving the variety and ingredients she receives. Having cooked for Ruby twice a day for so long after having awful results with prescribed dog 'food' previously, it was getting a LOT. 5 Hounds has made our lives so much easier with each meal ready to go and with ingredients Ruby (and so importantly, her body, loves). We are thrilled with 5 Hounds and thank you so much to Dr Will, Sienna and the team (including CEO Maya) for all that you have done to create this for families who just want their fur babies to have the best lives possible.

Happy 5 Hounds customers

We’ve been using 5 hounds for around 18 months or more. One of our 2 hounds is just on 14 (my son’s dog, a lab called Archie). We were asked to have Archie as we are on 40 acres and he couldn’t keep up with their other dog when going for walks in town. He now does a 1.5 k walk everyday…weather permitting & they’re not getting him back. Our other pup, Arlo is a rescue that we’ve had for 4 years and you can see the difference in both after being on 5 hounds. Very happy!

Am so pleased we’ve made the move over to 5 hounds. Both my miniature schnauzers have sensitive stomachs and food has been a challenge over the years. They both love the meals and Im happy to be able to give them more variety in their diet and I am beginning to see improvements in their skin and coat. They are eating more but are maintaining a much healthier weight. Highly recommend.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

We absolutely LOVE 5 Hounds!!! My Golden Retriever was born with only one kidney and it’s been hard to find something that doesn’t upset her system. We’ve tried so many different products including making our own organic meals. Our Missy THRIVES on 5 Hounds! She loves it and we couldn’t be happier. Her coat is better. She’s more vibrant. And she never has any health issues. Not only that but Dr Will is the most knowledgeable vet and is making a real impact in reeducating people in how to keep their dogs in great health naturally! I highly recommend giving 5 Hounds a try. Check him out on instagram. He has some great tips. I’m not sure where our Missy would be if we hadn’t found him.

Knowing my girl is being fed REAL meat that she enjoys with the added bonus of never having to remember to buy dog food as it’s automatically delivered to my door… it’s the best feeling. She has no health or skin problems, she is lean, fit and happy and looks gorgeous. My golden is the fittest golden I have ever seen. Will never consider another dog food. The fact it’s human grade… 👏

Healthy food, healthy, happy dogs

We were feeding a healthy brand of dog food already, but always looking for the best, after hearing stories from dog owners, processed food had caused a range of health issues.
The dog breeder we bought our Cavoodles from recommended 5 hounds and showed us the food. We researched and emailed with questions.
The conversation with 5 hounds team was amazing, and gave us confidence in their mission to provide natural and healthy food. So we made the switch.
Since then, their contact and advice, when we have reached out about our dogs diet and meal plans has been fantastic and reassuring knowing we have great support in helping us raise to healthy, happy dogs.
Our 2 dogs spin in circles, excited as we walk the bowls of food to them
We highly recommend reaching out to 5 hounds and switching your dogs to their meal plans for their best health.
If you like healthy food yourself, why feed your pets poor quality. They are members of your family.
We can't thank you enough 5 hounds team for your support.
Also for the great treats you have. Training the newest puppy has been easy with the sardine and manuka treats.
Keep up the amazing work

" Mr Riley loves this food"

" Mr Riley loves this food! Being a fussy Vizsla puppy feeding him has been tedious.
He has been on Lyka- since a baby, we have tried Prime 100, Big dog, and Ziwi Peak- he likes the Mackerel and lamb dry food only.

He Is 5 months now and I have finally found the answer 5 hounds, the sample pack has restored my sanity- he loves them. Thank goodness!
See before and after photos form L-R; Lyka Turkey, 5 hounds Venison then Kangaroo, and of course Mr Riley himself. 🙂

Fussy Frenchie

My dog is quite fussy and 5 Hounds is the only food she will eat daily and we have tried a few! Great variety and quality and the back up help has been so helpful and friendly if we occasionally have a hiccup. I would definitely recommend this and the starter pack is a good entry point.

I’m not usually in the habit of leaving reviews but in the case of 5 hounds I felt that they truly deserve the positive feedback. The change in my dog’s dietary issues has been amazing. No more diarrhea, or embarrassing mess to clean up. The food is well balanced with real meat and vegetables.He’s happy and I’m happy and that says everything.

The food is acceptable to the Royal Dachshunds. One is extremely fussy. The other will eat almost anything. The fussy one has just been diagnosed with low grade IBS so it’s been great to find something that works for her!

Changed our world……..

Mini Schnauzers are incredibly fussy eaters, times that by two and feeding is a nightmare. I stumbled across 5 Hounds and thought what the heck….boy am I glad. I now have two boys who run up to their bowls and gobble up their food. Their coats are shiny, poop is great and I am stoked. The team at 5 Hounds answer all my questions and concerns promptly. I say try 5 Hounds, you won’t be disappointed.
