About My Business

At Holistic Hound, we believe that dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family. That’s why we create natural grooming products that go far beyond clean. Our mission is to support the health, happiness, and well-being of every hound, using only the kindest, most effective ingredients nature has to offer. We’ve taken the same care and attention you’d expect from a premium skincare brand and applied it to our four-legged companions. Our formulas are gentle on sensitive skin, packed with nourishing botanicals, and completely free from harsh chemicals. Each product is made to soothe, protect, and bring out the natural shine in every coat. From daily grooming to gift-worthy pampering, Holistic Hound offers something special for every dog and the humans who love them. Our customers tell us their dogs actually look forward to grooming time, and that’s the kind of tail-wagging joy we live for. We're also committed to keeping our paws light on the planet. Thoughtfully designed packaging, ethical ingredient sourcing, and a love for all creatures great and small guide everything we do. Holistic Hound … naturally good for hounds, thoughtfully better for the planet.

Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award

At Holistic Hound, we’re not just making grooming products, we’re making life better for dogs and the people who love them. We believe dogs deserve the same level of care we give ourselves. That’s why we create natural grooming solutions that are safe, gentle, and made right here in Aotearoa. Every product is crafted with purpose, to support healthier skin, shinier coats, and happier hounds, using only the cleanest ingredients and planet-friendly packaging. But what truly sets us apart is how we do it. Holistic Hound is a small, self-funded business founded by two women with decades of skincare expertise and a deep love for dogs. We started this brand because we couldn't find products we truly trusted for our own dogs with skin issues. So, we made our own. with high standards, clean formulas, and a big dose of heart. We’re not backed by big budgets or corporate teams, just a fierce commitment to doing things properly. Every product is made with care, every order is packed by hand, and every decision we make is grounded in ethics and integrity. And in just a few short months, we’ve already made an impact: – 25 premium retailers have picked up our range – We’ve exported our first order to Singapore – And we’ve been internationally recognised as the 2025 Pet Innovation Award Winner for Best Natural Grooming Product of the Year But what matters most to us is the feedback we get from you, our customers, stockists, and community. Messages like: “Soaked little paws straight away and eased the itch for her. Excited to try the rest, I bought them all!” “It’s 1000% more than what most brands provide. Amazing support, amazing products. Can’t wait to reorder.” These are the moments that fuel us. So, if you believe in small Kiwi brands with big heart…if you want to support women founders doing things thoughtfully and sustainably…if you believe dogs deserve better. Then please give Holistic Hound your vote. Your support helps us grow, reach more dogs, and continue our mission to make grooming a ritual of care, not just cleanliness. Let’s raise the standard - together.
