Quality Canine Supplements By Whole Hound Inc.
Whole Hound™ Premium Quality Canine Supplements are a comprehensive range of premium quality, nutritional supplements that strengthen and support canine health and complement all types of dog food.


About Our Company
In 2008, we decided to create Whole Hound Inc. for the purpose of educating consumers and sharing our 10 years of experience using our premium quality nutritional supplements. Our goal is to help facilitate optimum health in dogs by promoting a 3 Steps Forward approach to feeding: Great Food + Great Vitamin/Mineral + Great Essential Fatty Acid (EFA).

Total Health
Total Health™ is a comprehensive, daily vitamin mineral supplement and is designed to complement all types of dog food. We use moderate quantities of high quality ingredients, which makes Total Health an excellent complement to every type of dog food.

Vitamins and minerals are necessary for proper growth, health maintenance and disease prevention. Just like humans, dogs benefit from a daily dose of high quality vitamins and minerals. Supplementing quality vitamins and minerals into your dog’s diet can help make the difference between average and optimum health. We don’t use any additives, preservatives or fillers, which makes Total Health highly concentrated and therefore extremely economical.

Total Health Plus

Total Health Plus™ is a comprehensive multi-vitamin and mineral blend with digestive enzymes and the nutraceuticals Glucosamine HCI and MSM. Total Health Plus is recommended as a daily supplement and is designed to complement all types of dog food. Supplementing vitamins and minerals into your dog’s diet can make the difference between average and optimum health. Vitamins and Minerals are necessary for proper growth, health maintenance and disease prevention.

We add digestive enzymes which, in addition to improving digestibility and decreasing stool weight, have been known to provide natural relief in the following areas: dry or scaly hair/coat, skin problems, digestive disorders, joint difficulties, immune disorders, excessive shedding, weight problems, allergies, bloating, lethargy, hairballs, flatulence, coprophagia, and wound healing.

Glucosamine & MSM work together to decrease pain and inflammation while regenerating joint components and synovial fluid, and are recommended for facilitating pain relief, reducing inflammation, treating skin conditions, rebuilding connective tissue and joint components (pre and post surgery), treating disk disorders, spinal disorders and sprains, maintaining respiratory, digestive and urinary tract health, and to support working or athletic dogs. Total Health Plus™ is designed to help dogs grow strong and live long.

Calcium Health

Calcium Health™ is a comprehensive mineral supplement containing organic, naturally occurring minerals and trace elements. Minerals are essential for health, contributing to proper skeletal development, skeletal strength, mental and physical well-being, hormonal balance, development and preservation of the heart, brain, muscle and nerve systems, proper PH balance, and the creation of antibodies. Minerals work together with vitamins to facilitate proper digestion and they play a crucial role in the utilization of nutrients from food.

Osteo Aid

Osteo Aid™ is a comprehensive joint support supplement containing marine source Glucosamine HCl, MSM, Glycine, Vitamin C, Calcium and Magnesium. The ingredients in Osteo Aid have been known to facilitate pain relief, reduce inflammation, and rebuild joint components, including connective tissue and synovial fluid.

Here is one of many similar testimonials from customers who consistently use Osteo Aid:

I adopted my awesome lab/bulldog from the pound as no one wanted him cause of a leg limping issue. Well I searched high and low until a nice lady at my local pet food store mentioned The Whole Hound. I started him on Osteo Aid and I was Shocked at what I was seeing. My dog went from limping and dragging his back left leg to jumping and playing at the dog park in about 1 month. I will now Never run out of Osteo -Aid. Thank you so much for making my dogs life better !

Digestive Support

Digestive Support™ can be used therapeutically and is highly recommended when feeding dry or cooked food. This formula is a multi-enzyme blend of non-animal based enzymes specially formulated to assist the digestive system in dogs.

Digestive Support™ can be used therapeutically and is highly recommended when feeding dry or cooked food. This formula is a multi-enzyme blend of non-animal based enzymes specially formulated to assist the digestive system in dogs.

Digestive enzymes are extremely important to a dog’s health. Digestive enzymes aid in the decomposition of high molecular weight substances to ensure your pet gets the maximum possible nutrition from their food. In addition to improving digestibility and decreasing stool weight, digestive enzymes have been known to provide natural relief in the following areas: dry or scaly hair/coat, skin problems, digestive disorders, joint difficulties, immune disorders, excessive shedding, weight problems, allergies, bloating, lethargy, hairballs, flatulence, coprophagia, and wound healing.

Flax Lecithin Blend™

Flax Lecithin Blend™ is designed for daily use With one of our multi-vitamin mineral supplements. Like humans, dogs require Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids daily to for proper growth, including brain development, health maintenance and for disease prevention. In addition, Omega-3 EFAs are critically important for neuromuscular development, skin health, coat quality and are often taken to help inflammatory skin diseases, infections, arthritis, and flea and food allergies.

This Omega-3 Flax is a stable, highly concentrated source of the Omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA), Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). This unique supplement brings the Omega-3 EFA's back into balance with the omega-6 EFA, Linoleic Acid (LA), already present int the diet, resulting in numerous benefits. An imbalance in EFAs commonly results in inflammation and dermatitis.

Why Should My Dog Use Supplements?

Because science has proven, and veterinarians agree, that nutritional supplements help facilitate proper growth in puppies, maximum health in adult dogs and disease prevention in dogs of all ages.

I Feed My Dog A Healthy Diet. Do I Still Need To Supplement?

YES! Not enough dog lovers realize the importance of nutritional supplementation in the form of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Nutritional supplementation, used in conjunction with a high-quality diet, not only makes the nutrients in the food we feed more available to our dogs, but it also enhances recovery from stress, injury, and illness, while helping prevent the onset of many degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and skin disorders.

My Dog Is On A Prescription Diet. Can I Still Supplement?

YES! Whole Hound™ supplements are free of all artificial ingredients, sweeteners, preservatives and do NOT contain common allergens. Appropriate nutritional supplementation will help make the nutrients that exist in prescription foods more available to your dog and will play a supportive role in health recovery and maintenance.

How Long Will It Take To See Results?

Nutritional supplements help over time, not overnight. We recommend using nutritional supplements consistently for a minimum of 30 days before gauging results. Having said that, many people see benefits after 2 weeks. For best results, use daily.

What does the "3 Steps Forward" feeding philosophy mean?

Whole Hound Inc. built its entire line around a single nutritional equation: Great Food + Great Vitamin/Mineral + Great Essential Fatty Acid (EFA). The idea is that even a premium kibble or fresh diet leaves nutritional gaps, and that a quality vitamin-mineral supplement plus a dedicated Omega-3 source closes those gaps so the food a dog already eats becomes more fully usable. Rather than selling one all-in-one pill, Whole Hound deliberately separates the vitamin/mineral layer from the EFA layer so owners can combine, for example, Total Health with the Flax Lecithin Blend™ and feed each at its correct dose.

How the Whole Hound™ supplement range is organized

The line is structured by job rather than by breed or age. Total Health™ and Total Health Plus™ anchor the range as daily vitamin-mineral foundations, with the Plus version adding digestive enzymes plus the nutraceuticals Glucosamine HCl and MSM. Around that core sit targeted formulas: Calcium Health™ for skeletal minerals and trace elements, Osteo Aid™ for joints, Digestive Support™ as a standalone multi-enzyme blend, and the Flax Lecithin Blend™ for Omega-3 coverage. Because the formulas are modular, an owner can match a senior dog with stiff joints to Osteo Aid while keeping a young dog on Total Health alone.

Why Whole Hound leaves out fillers, preservatives, and common allergens
Whole Hound™ supplements are made free of all artificial ingredients, sweeteners, and preservatives, and the company states they do not contain common allergens. Total Health is described as highly concentrated specifically because no additives, preservatives, or fillers are blended in, which the company frames as making it both more potent per scoop and more economical over time. That allergen-conscious formulation is also why the brand says its products are safe to layer onto a veterinary prescription diet, helping the nutrients already in that food become more available to the dog.

The role of Glucosamine HCl, MSM, and Omega-3 in the formulas
In Total Health Plus™ and Osteo Aid™, Glucosamine and MSM are paired to work together to decrease pain and inflammation while regenerating joint components and synovial fluid — Whole Hound recommends them for connective-tissue rebuilding before and after surgery, disk and spinal disorders, sprains, and supporting working or athletic dogs. Osteo Aid™ specifically uses marine-source Glucosamine HCl alongside MSM, Glycine, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Magnesium. On the fat side, the Flax Lecithin Blend™ delivers Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), a stable, highly concentrated Omega-3 that the brand says rebalances against the Omega-6 Linoleic Acid (LA) already present in most diets, since an EFA imbalance commonly drives inflammation and dermatitis.

Which dogs benefit, and how soon owners should expect results
Whole Hound positions supplementation as valuable across every life stage — facilitating proper growth in puppies, maximum health in adult dogs, and disease prevention in dogs of all ages — and notably argues that a dog already eating a healthy diet still benefits, because supplements make existing nutrients more available and aid recovery from stress, injury, and illness. The company is candid about timeline: nutritional supplements help over time, not overnight, and it recommends consistent daily use for a minimum of 30 days before judging results, while noting many owners see benefits within about 2 weeks.

Total Health Plus™ is the upgraded version: it adds digestive enzymes and the nutraceuticals Glucosamine HCl and MSM on top of the same multi-vitamin and mineral blend.

What does the '3 Steps Forward' approach mean?
It is Whole Hound's core feeding philosophy, expressed as GREAT FOOD + GREAT VITAMIN/MINERAL + GREAT ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID (EFA). The idea is that diet alone leaves nutritional gaps, so pairing a quality vitamin-mineral supplement with a dedicated Omega-3 source helps a dog reach optimum rather than just average health. The brand deliberately separates the vitamin/mineral and EFA layers so each can be dosed correctly.
Do Whole Hound supplements contain fillers or preservatives?
No. Whole Hound™ supplements are made free of all artificial ingredients, sweeteners, and preservatives, and the company states they do not contain common allergens. Total Health is described as highly concentrated precisely because no additives, preservatives, or fillers are included, which the company says also makes it more economical per use.
What is in Osteo Aid and what is it for?
Osteo Aid™ is a comprehensive joint-support supplement containing marine-source Glucosamine HCl, MSM, Glycine, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Magnesium. Whole Hound says these ingredients have been known to facilitate pain relief, reduce inflammation, and rebuild joint components including connective tissue and synovial fluid. It is the brand's targeted choice for dogs with mobility or joint concerns.
How do Glucosamine and MSM work together in these formulas?
In Total Health Plus™ and Osteo Aid™, Glucosamine and MSM are paired to decrease pain and inflammation while regenerating joint components and synovial fluid. Whole Hound recommends the combination for rebuilding connective tissue before and after surgery, treating disk and spinal disorders and sprains, supporting respiratory, digestive, and urinary tract health, and backing working or athletic dogs. The goal, in the brand's words, is to help dogs grow strong and live long.
What does the Flax Lecithin Blend do?
Flax Lecithin Blend™ is Whole Hound's Omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement, intended for daily use alongside one of the multi-vitamin mineral supplements. It is a stable, highly concentrated source of the Omega-3 EFA Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). The brand explains it brings Omega-3 back into balance with the Omega-6 Linoleic Acid (LA) already in most diets, since an EFA imbalance commonly results in inflammation and dermatitis.
Why does my dog need Omega-3 essential fatty acids?
Whole Hound notes that, like humans, dogs require Omega-3 essential fatty acids daily for proper growth, including brain development, health maintenance, and disease prevention. Omega-3 EFAs are also described as critically important for neuromuscular development, skin health, and coat quality, and are often used to help with inflammatory skin diseases, infections, arthritis, and flea and food allergies.
What is Calcium Health used for?
Calcium Health™ is a comprehensive mineral supplement containing organic, naturally occurring minerals and trace elements. According to Whole Hound, minerals contribute to proper skeletal development and strength, mental and physical well-being, hormonal balance, the development and preservation of the heart, brain, muscle, and nerve systems, proper pH balance, and the creation of antibodies. Minerals also work with vitamins to support digestion and the utilization of nutrients from food.
Can digestive enzymes help with skin, shedding, or allergy problems?
Whole Hound states that digestive enzymes, in addition to improving digestibility and decreasing stool weight, have been known to provide natural relief in areas including dry or scaly hair and coat, skin problems, digestive disorders, joint difficulties, immune disorders, excessive shedding, weight problems, allergies, bloating, lethargy, hairballs, flatulence, coprophagia, and wound healing. The enzymes help break down high-molecular-weight substances so a dog gets the maximum possible nutrition from its food.
What is Digestive Support and when should I use it?
Digestive Support™ is a standalone multi-enzyme blend of non-animal-based enzymes formulated to assist the canine digestive system. Whole Hound says it can be used therapeutically and is highly recommended when feeding dry or cooked food, because cooking and processing can reduce naturally occurring enzymes. It is the option to add when digestion, rather than vitamins or joints, is the primary concern.
Does my dog still need supplements if I already feed a healthy diet?
Whole Hound's answer is yes. The company argues that not enough dog owners realize the importance of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, and that supplementation used alongside a high-quality diet makes the nutrients in food more available. It also says supplementation enhances recovery from stress, injury, and illness and helps prevent the onset of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and skin disorders.
Can I give these supplements to a dog on a prescription diet?
Yes. Whole Hound™ supplements are free of all artificial ingredients, sweeteners, and preservatives and do not contain common allergens, which the company says makes them appropriate to layer onto a veterinary prescription food. The brand explains that proper supplementation helps make the nutrients in prescription diets more available and plays a supportive role in health recovery and maintenance. As always, check with your veterinarian before adding anything to a prescribed regimen.
How long does it take to see results from Whole Hound supplements?
Whole Hound is direct that nutritional supplements help over time, not overnight. It recommends using the products consistently for a minimum of 30 days before gauging results, though it notes many people see benefits after about 2 weeks. For best results the company advises daily use.
Are Whole Hound supplements suitable for puppies and senior dogs?
Yes. Whole Hound frames supplementation as beneficial across every life stage, citing science and veterinary agreement that nutritional supplements help facilitate proper growth in puppies, maximum health in adult dogs, and disease prevention in dogs of all ages. In practice, an owner might give a young dog Total Health while choosing Osteo Aid or Total Health Plus for an older dog with joint stiffness.

Whole Hound Inc. invites owners to order directly. You can reach the company by phone at 1-866-444-3647 or by email at [email protected], and its mailing address is P.O.
