Nutrient-dense, long-lasting treats that deliver high levels of essential fats.
100% South Island-fished mackerel, Hound's Whole Mackerel delivers a natural balance of muscle meat, organs, bones, connective tissue, and skin – mirroring a whole-prey diet. As a natural source of vitamin D, it also contributes to bone strength and immune function.
Hound Whole Mackerel are nutrient-dense, single-ingredient treats that deliver a natural balance of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The mackerel's edible bones provide natural calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals for skeletal strength and balance.
These dog treats are a palatable source of protein and micronutrients such as vitamins A and D, iron, and zinc. The mackerel's skin and connective tissue provide collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin for joint health and resilience, making them an indulgent yet functional choice, even for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

Feeding Guide
Hound's Whole Mackerel are intended as a complementary food and should not exceed 10% of a dog's total daily caloric intake. The remaining 90% should come from a complete and balanced diet. As these treats are energy-dense, portion control is essential.
Feeding Method
The freeze-dried mackerel can be served whole or snapped into smaller portions. For senior dogs, small breeds, or those with dental sensitivities, the pieces may be softened briefly in water. Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times.
When introducing any new food, do it gradually. Offer a small portion daily for the first three days and watch for changes in stool consistency and behaviour. If it remains normal, increase to the recommended amount over the next 4–7 days.
Storage
Freeze-drying stabilises raw meat, making it safe and shelf-stable at ambient temperatures. Once opened, store in a sealed container or bag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption. Use any rehydrated portions within 24 hours.
