Our Story
Take a look at our story and how far we have come (thanks to you)
Founding date
In the early days, we worked side by side on every part of the business—research, logistics, and customer experience included. We spent countless evenings learning about natural ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and ethical suppliers to ensure every product we offered met the highest possible standards. Every decision was guided by one simple question: “Would we give this to our own dogs?” That personal approach quickly became the heart of everything Healthy Hounds stands for today. To get started, we began selling our carefully chosen products on local buy-and-sell Facebook pages, and to our surprise and delight, the response was incredible. Before long, our small venture began to take off, proving that pet owners truly shared our passion for quality and care.
As interest continued to grow, we took Healthy Hounds beyond the screen and into the community—attending local car boot sales where we could meet our customers (and their dogs) face to face. Those weekends soon became some of our favorite memories, filled with wagging tails, happy owners, and heartfelt conversations about what makes pets thrive. It was during those early events that we realized just how much our dream resonated with others who wanted the best for their four-legged family members. With the incredible support of our growing customer base, we took the next big step—opening our first stall in Castleford Market, where we proudly showcased our products and met even more wonderful pet lovers.
Now, as we look toward the future, we’re filled with excitement and big dreams for what’s to come. We plan to expand our product range, introduce even more natural and sustainable options, and continue strengthening our relationships with the amazing community that supports us. Every new milestone is a reminder that Healthy Hounds is more than a pet supply business—it’s a family of passionate animal lovers, just like us. We’re endlessly grateful for everyone who has joined us on this journey so far and can’t wait to see how Healthy Hounds continues to grow—tail by tail, paw by paw.
The early days
In the early days, we worked side by side on every part of the business—research, logistics, and customer experience included. We spent weeks learning about natural ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and ethical suppliers to ensure every product we offered met the highest standards. To get started, we began selling our products on local buy-and-sell Facebook pages, sharing our passion directly with fellow pet owners in our community. Before long, word spread, and our little idea really started to take off—proving that our personal, pet-first approach was exactly what people were looking for. That commitment to care and quality became the foundation of everything Healthy Hounds stands for today.
Planning phase
Interest and growth
As interest grew, we started attending local car boot sales, where we could meet customers face-to-face and share our mission in person. Setting up our small stall each weekend became something we truly looked forward to—arranging our products with care, chatting with other pet lovers, and watching tails wag as dogs explored our treats and toys. Those mornings were often early and chilly, but the warmth of the community made every moment worth it. We loved hearing stories from customers about their pets, exchanging tips, and seeing their excitement when they found something their dogs absolutely loved. Over time, those weekends became some of our most cherished memories—filled with laughter, muddy paws, and genuine connections that reminded us why we started this journey. It was during this period that we truly saw our small dream begin to grow, and we realized that Healthy Hounds was becoming something far more meaningful than just a business—it was a community built on trust, love, and a shared passion for dogs.
Our shop in Castleford Market
Our first Shop
As our time at Castleford Market continued, we began to build a wonderful community of loyal customers and fellow pet lovers who shared our passion for giving dogs the best. Each day at the stall was filled with laughter, friendly chats, and wagging tails—all reminding us how much joy this little business had brought into our lives. We took pride in offering advice, sharing stories, and helping owners find the perfect products for their pets. What started as a simple dream quickly became a bustling part of our local pet community, and we were deeply touched by the trust and support we received.
Running our market stall wasn’t always easy—there were early mornings, long days, and plenty of hard work—but every moment was worth it. Seeing happy dogs tugging their owners over to our stall or returning customers sharing how much their pets loved our treats made all the difference. We poured our hearts into making sure every interaction reflected our values: kindness, quality, and care. Over time, Healthy Hounds became more than just a name—it became a symbol of our love for animals and our dedication to helping them live healthier, happier lives.
Now, as we look back on those early days, we feel nothing but gratitude. Castleford Market gave us the perfect foundation to grow—a place where our passion met purpose, and our customers became friends. Watching dogs like little Bambi flourish and families return time and time again reminded us that what we were
Present Day:
Today, Healthy Hounds Pet Supplies continues to grow, and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds. What started as a small idea has become a thriving, family-run business built on love, trust, and dedication to pets everywhere. We have big plans ahead—from expanding our product range to reaching even more pet owners who share our passion for natural, high-quality care. Every step forward is driven by the same values that started it all: honesty, compassion, and a genuine love for dogs. The journey so far has been incredible, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us next—because for us, this is only the beginning.
