Puppy Pack

Formulated for Puppies From Day One

All our meals are complete and balanced for puppies, crafted with a certified pet nutritionist to ensure they get the right building blocks for healthy development. Every recipe is created to be developmentally appropriate, giving your little hound the nourishment they need through these early, all-important months.

Why Fresh Food is a Great Start for Puppies

Fresh, lightly cooked meals provide gentle, easily digestible nutrition that supports gut health and a thriving microbiome. We include nutrient-rich ingredients like antioxidant-packed blueberries, which contribute to healthy development.

Research shows that minimally processed diets can help growing pups absorb nutrients more efficiently, supporting energy, immunity, and overall vitality.

A Smooth, Gentle Transition

Switching to fresh food should be stress-free. Transition gradually over 7 days by increasing Happy Hounds while decreasing their previous food. This protects sensitive tummies and ensures mealtimes stay positive.

Days 1-2: 25% Happy Hounds, 75% old food
Days 3-4: 50% Happy Hounds, 50% old food
Days 5-6: 75% Happy Hounds, 25% old food
Day 7 onwards: 100% Happy Hounds

Feeding Portions as They Grow

Their energy needs are constantly changing, and the amount they eat should grow with them to support healthy development.

You can use our Puppy Feeding Guide to make sure you’re feeding the right amount at each stage.

Once your pup reaches 12 months, their intake naturally plateaus and they’ll move onto our Adult Feeding Guide.

💡 Tip: Feed smaller, frequent meals to support growth and digestion in the first months.

Breed considerations:

Our meals are suitable for small, medium, and large breed puppies. Adjust portion sizes accordingly.
