Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every ingredient across all five formulas comes from a named natural origin. We publish the full ingredient list and the exact dose of each active ingredient per chew. There are no synthetic compounds, no artificial sweeteners, and no fillers designed to pad out the chew weight at the expense of active ingredient content.

No artificial colours or artificial flavours are used in any formula. The natural flavouring in our chews is entirely plant-based — not derived from chicken, pork, beef, or any animal protein. This makes our formulas suitable for dogs with known sensitivities to meat-based ingredients, and removes the risk of palatability compounds that can cause gut dependency over time.

We source ingredients from the locations where they are naturally most potent. Our cold-pressed fish oils come from Norway. Green-lipped mussel is sourced from New Zealand — the only place in the world it is found. Botanicals including chamomile and passionflower come from France. Pharmaceutical-grade vitamins come from Germany. Every source is chosen for quality, not cost.

Never. Proprietary blends allow brands to list impressive ingredients on a label while using them at doses too low to have any effect. Every Hound Wellness formula publishes the exact milligram dose of every active ingredient per chew so you can verify that what is listed is present at a meaningful level.

Yes. Every formula is reviewed by our panel of four veterinary advisors before it is approved. This is not a stamp on a label — it means each advisor reviews the ingredient selection, the doses, and the interaction safety of every formula. Their names, credentials, and areas of speciality are published on our site.

All Hound Wellness chews are produced in a GMP and HACCP certified facility in the United Kingdom. Every batch undergoes quality control testing for potency, purity, and consistency before it is approved for distribution.

Yes. Although some of our formulas list natural chicken flavour, this is a plant-based compound that mimics the palatability of chicken without containing any chicken protein. True chicken allergies in dogs are protein-based immune responses — and since our flavouring contains no chicken protein whatsoever, it does not trigger chicken allergies. If your dog has severe food allergies of any kind, we recommend consulting your vet before starting any new supplement.

Yes. No Hound Wellness formula contains beef, pork, or any pork-derived ingredients. Some brands use pork liver powder as a cheap palatability booster. We do not. Our plant-based flavouring system means dogs with beef or pork sensitivities can use our full range without concern.

Start with the Digestive Support Formula. It is specifically formulated for dogs with sensitive stomachs, inconsistent stools, or gut-related discomfort. The prebiotic fibre, digestive enzymes, and probiotic strains work together to support a more stable gut environment. The plant-based flavouring also reduces the risk of palatability-related gut reactions that can occur with meat-flavoured supplements.

Our formulas are designed as complementary daily supplements and are generally safe alongside common allergy medications. However, if your dog is on prescription medication of any kind, we always recommend checking with your vet before introducing a new supplement. This is standard advice we give regardless of the supplement brand.

Our chews use oat flour and rice flour as gentle natural binders. These are not wheat-based, but they do contain grain. If your dog has a diagnosed grain sensitivity or is on a strict grain-free diet, we recommend consulting your vet before starting. The amounts used are very small relative to a full meal, but we believe in full transparency rather than assumptions.

We advise consulting your vet before using any supplement during pregnancy or nursing. While our ingredients are all natural and generally safe, the nutritional needs of a pregnant or nursing dog are different, and we want to ensure any supplementation is appropriate for her specific situation.

Most dogs begin showing early signs of improvement within 2 to 3 weeks. Visible changes — improved stool consistency, better coat shine, calmer behaviour, or easier movement — are typically noticeable by week 4 to 6. Results compound over time. Dogs that have been on a consistent plan for 3 months typically show significantly better results than those who have been on it for 3 weeks.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on every subscription. If you are not satisfied within 30 days of your first order, contact us and we will refund you in full. No complicated process and no questions designed to make it hard. We are confident enough in our formulas to offer this — and we honour it.

If you stop, the support those systems were receiving will gradually reduce. This is normal for any nutritional supplement. Because our formulas contain no artificial sweeteners or gut-conditioning compounds, you will not see the kind of withdrawal-like disruption that can happen when stopping supplements that use addictive flavouring systems. Any changes you notice will simply reflect the absence of the nutritional support, not a dependency.

No. Label-dusting means adding a small amount of an impressive-sounding ingredient purely so it can appear on the label, while the actual dose is too low to have any effect. We formulate at the doses that research supports as meaningful for canine biology. Every active ingredient dose is published openly on each product page so you can check for yourself.

We do not recommend exceeding the stated daily dose. Our formulas are dosed at levels that research supports as effective — more is not always better with supplements, and staying within the recommended amount ensures your dog gets consistent, safe daily support. If you are ever unsure, speak with your vet.

Either works. Most dog parents give them alongside their dog's morning meal as part of a routine, which helps with consistency. If your dog has a particularly sensitive stomach when starting, giving the chew with food can help the transition feel smoother in the first week or two.
