At Highland Hounds, we believe great nutrition should be carefully considered. Our product is intentional, informed and guided by a genuine respect for canine biology. Every range is thoughtfully created with a clear nutritional purpose, supporting dogs with different lifestyles, sensitivities and individual health needs. Because when nutrition is chosen with care. You will notice it in every wag of their tail, every stretch and every moment of happiness.
Why Choose Highland Hounds
At Highland Hounds, we believe dog food should be made with the same care, honesty, and respect you show when choosing what goes into your dog’s bowl. We don’t hide behind vague ingredients and we never assume one type of food suits every dog. Instead, we build nutrition around dogs, individual needs and individual biology.
Nutrition With Purpose — Not Hype
Every Highland Hounds range exists for a clear reason. From traditional grain-inclusive diets to advanced peptide nutrition and biologically appropriate raw feeding, our foods are designed to support dogs at different life stages, energy levels and health conditions. Digestibility is just as important as ingredients. Ingredients
you can trust.
We understand that some dogs do well with grains while others do not and that more protein is not always better and that gentle processing matters. Transparency is non-negotiable. That means clearly named ingredients, human-grade meats where stated, no unnecessary fillers and functional ingredients used only when they serve a purpose. If it doesn’t support the dog, it simply doesn’t go in.
Thoughtful Processing
How food is made matters. That is why we use gentle cooking, cold pressing at low temperatures, peptide proteins for dogs with allergies and raw feeding options done properly.
Real Results
Nowhere is this more evident than in our Highland Hound Health Range, where around 90% of owners have reported improvements in dogs with digestive issues, major allergies, and emotional or behavioral imbalances.
Choice Without Confusion
We do not believe in one perfect way to feed. We believe in helping you find the right food for your dog, now and in the future.
Feeding Guide

ORIGINAL RANGE – Traditional, Balanced Nutrition
The Original Range is a grain-inclusive diet designed for dogs that thrive on steady, controlled nutrition. With a meat content between 25% and 41%, it delivers essential nutrients without excessive protein or energy.

Protein and fat levels are deliberately moderated to help support calm behaviour and healthy weight maintenance.
This range is ideal for:
– Highly aroused dogs or sensitive dogs.
– Working breeds during rest or off-season periods
– Dogs with no grain sensitivities

All recipes are gently cooked at approximately 80°C to improve

GRAIN FREE RANGE – Allergy-Aware, Sensible Grain-Free Feeding
The Grain Free Range is formulated for dogs with grain allergies or intolerances, which are increasingly common. Grains are replaced with sweet potato, a gentle, slow-release carbohydrate that supports digestion and stable energy levels. Unlike many grain-free diets, this range avoids excessive protein and calorie levels. Protein is carefully controlled, making it suitable for dogs that struggle on richer formulations.

balance

SUPERFOOD RANGE – Flagship Functional Nutrition
The Superfood Range represents the pinnacle of Highland Hounds nutrition. Each recipe contains 65% human-grade meat, delivering highly bioavailable protein and exceptional nutrient density.

salmon, lamb and duck.
HIGHLAND HOUNDS HEALTH RANGE – Specialist Support for
Major Allergies
The Highland Hounds Health Range is a clinical, specialist collection for dogs with severe allergies and complex
sensitivities. It uses peptide (hydrolysed) proteins. Hydrolysed dog food is made by breaking proteins down into
very small pieces using natural enzymes. These tiny protein fragments are easier to digest and are unlikely to trigger allergic reactions. This makes hydrolysed diets ideal for dogs with food allergies, sensitivities or digestive issues, while still providing complete and balanced nutrition. This range has shown approximately 90% owner-reported success so far, particularly for skin, digestive, allergy-related conditions and weight management.
Available targeted recipes:
– Digestive – for chronic gastrointestinal upset
– Skin – for itching, redness and ear issues
– Healthy Living – long-term maintenance for sensitive dogs
– Weight Loss – safe calorie control while maintaining muscle
– Dental – oral health support for sensitive dogs
COLD PRESSED RANGE – Ultra Gentle Digestion
The Cold Pressed Range is designed for dogs that struggle with bloating, sensitive digestion or highly processed foods.
All recipes are slowly cooked at just 30°C, preserving nutrients and minimising digestive stress. Cold pressed food does not swell in the stomach. Instead, it softens and breaks down gently, reducing bloating and discomfort.
Key features:
– Slow cooked at 30°C
– Reduced bloating
– Joint support in every recipe
– Includes green-lipped mussel
Recipes include:
– Grain-inclusive options: Beef with Grains, Chicken with Grains
