Puppy Foundations Support
The Ultimate 360° Coat & Condition Support: Botanical Skin, Coat & Vitality Blend
A healthy start begins from within. At Herbs for Hounds, we believe the early months are about supporting a puppy’s developing digestive system while allowing a complete, balanced puppy diet to do the important work of supporting healthy growth. Our Puppy Foundations Support is a gentle wholefood blend designed specifically for puppies from 8 weeks of age, combining prebiotic fibres, probiotics and nourishing wholefood ingredients to support digestive balance, healthy gut flora and everyday wellbeing during those important early months.
The Power of Botanical Synergy
Every serve delivers a carefully selected combination of ingredients working together to support your puppy from the inside out:
Green Banana Flour: A natural source of resistant starch that acts as a prebiotic, helping nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support a balanced digestive environment.
Goat Milk Powder: A nutrient-rich wholefood ingredient providing quality protein and energy to complement your puppy’s complete diet.
Pumpkin Powder: A gentle source of dietary fibre, supporting healthy digestion and normal stool consistency.
Slippery Elm: Traditionally used to soothe and support the digestive tract, making it particularly useful during periods of dietary and environmental change.
Brewer’s Yeast: Naturally provides protein and B-group nutrients to complement a balanced puppy diet.
Rosehip: A naturally antioxidant-rich wholefood ingredient providing beneficial plant phytonutrients.
Targeted Microbiome Support
Our carefully selected probiotic blend provides beneficial microorganisms alongside prebiotic ingredients such as green banana flour.
Together, these provide both probiotic and prebiotic support for the developing gut microbiome—particularly valuable during the transition from breeder to new home.
Why "Herbs for Hounds" is Different:
Designed Specifically for Puppies: A gentle formula created for puppies from 8 weeks rather than simply reducing the dose of an adult supplement.
Gut-Focused, Not a Growth Supplement: Designed to complement a complete puppy food without unnecessarily adding high levels of calcium, vitamin D or mineral supplementation.
Pre + Probiotic Support: Combines beneficial microorganisms with prebiotic fibres that help nourish the gut environment.
Wholefood Nutrition: Carefully selected ingredients provide gentle nutritional support alongside your puppy’s normal diet.
Clean & Simple: No artificial colours, flavours or unnecessary additives.
When to Use:
- From 8 weeks of age
- Transitioning from breeder to a new home
- Changes in routine or environment
- During gradual food transitions
- To support normal stool consistency
- For everyday digestive and microbiome support during the early puppy months
How to Use:
Sprinkle the recommended amount over your puppy’s daily meal. It can be mixed with raw, wet or kibble diets.
Introduce at half the recommended amount for the first 3–5 days, then gradually increase to the full daily serve if stools remain normal.
Puppy Foundations is designed as an approximately 8-week program from 8–16 weeks of age, with the amount adjusted according to your puppy’s bodyweight.
Because strong foundations aren't about pushing growth—they're about supporting a healthy gut, good nutrition and a confident start to life
