Your Fresh Food Journey Starts Here
Our Starter Pack is the easiest way to introduce your hound to fresh, wholesome, gently cooked food. Created especially for new customers, it gives you everything you need to explore our full range - without the guesswork. Think of it as a curated tasting experience for your dog, designed to help you discover their favourites while making the transition simple and stress-free.
What’s Inside
Each Starter Pack includes a generous selection of our most-loved recipes and add-ons:
- Six 500g tubs - one of each protein:
- Venison, Ostrich, Beef, Chicken, Fish & Insect
- One Bone Broth (400ml)
- One Delicious Gravy (400ml)
- One 100g bag of Grass-Fed Beef Wors
Everything is cooked fresh, frozen at peak freshness, and ready to serve.
Why Start With a Starter Pack?
→ Try all our proteins - no big commitment
Different dogs gravitate towards different flavours. This mix lets you see what your hound naturally prefers, without needing to buy large quantities of any single protein.
→ A gentle way to transition to fresh food
Switching from kibble or canned food is easy with a variety of proteins and textures on hand. The broth and gravy help encourage eating, especially for fussy or sensitive dogs.
→ A complete introduction to the Happy Hounds experience
From mealtime essentials to little flavour boosts, your dog gets to try the best of what we make - all selected for a smooth first step into fresh feeding.
→ A 15% welcome discount
Because trying something new should feel exciting, not stressful.
How to Use Your Starter Pack
1. Start slow (7-day transition recommended)
Day 1–2: 25% Happy Hounds + 75% existing food

Day 7+: 100% Happy Hounds
The broth and gravy help encourage appetite and create a positive first experience.
2. Rotate proteins to discover favourites
Serve a different protein every few days. Many dogs naturally show you what they love — and this helps keep mealtimes exciting.
