When I wrote the TWILIGHT BARK UK ‘Hot List’ of 2017, the first brand I mentioned was Huxley Hound. On Friday I went to their HQ for an exclusive interview with the founders, Mike & Zena Deane, so they could share their story with you and I could discover why their organic dog treats could make a great addition to your dog’s diet. We even did a Facebook LIVE!! Today’s blog post is a follow up to my interview with them, with key information about this fantastic upcoming brand…

Mike, Zena, Huxley & Rolo
WHO ARE HUXLEY HOUND?
Huxley Hound launched in 2016 and are ‘the world’s first range of fully traceable organic vegetable treats for dogs’ and trust me, they’re delicious (I actually tried some myself!) They currently have four flavours available (the fourth is actually being unveiled on their website for the first time on Monday 23rd January, along with larger packs containing 50% more – something Huxley Hound exclusively announced with us during our Facebook LIVE (so exciting!) And the reason Mike & Zena established Huxley Hound….
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ORGANIC DOG TREATS?
Many of you may feed your dog raw vegetables already (they’re great for roughage and for teeth) so you could be thinking, why do I need to buy vegetable treats too? Well did you know dogs can’t break down cellulose (the bit of the vegetable which contains the nutrients?) No, I didn’t either! This means that while raw vegetables have various benefits…
Food for thought! So what can Huxley Hound organic dog treats provide to your dog? Let me take you through the flavours and tell you know about each of their health benefits (and why they could make a great addition to your dog’s diet).
* Worth noting, Huxley Hound invested in a study with the University of Nottingham to throughly analyse the health benefits of each of their treats…
CARROT (£3.95 – £14.00)

Great source of antioxidants!
The Huxley Hound carrot treats are a very high source of antioxidants and also have great anti-inflammatory properties. Whilst these treats should not be used as a medicine (always talk with your vet if you suspect any health issues with your dog) the properties they contain could aid those with joint problems. Want to try? Click HERE.
BEETROOT (£3.95 – £14.00)

Full of nutrients which promote a healthy heart!
The Huxley Hound Beetroot treats are rich in manganese, magnesium and phosphate, all of which broadly promote a healthy heart as well as being great for your dog’s blood properties too. Who wouldn’t want to try these?!! These are actually the favourite of Team Huxley Hound! Does Beetroot have your heart too? Click HERE.
SWEET POTATO (£3.95 – £14.00)

A great all-rounder!
The Huxley Hound Sweet Potato treats are simply a great all-rounder!! Great antioxidants and a good source of energy. As with all of the Huxley Hound treats, as they are dehydrated, they are chewy to eat (great if you have a dog who wolfs down their treats!) These will make them chew them properly. The sweet potato are probably the chewiest, so could be good to aid your dog’s dental hygiene. Fancy putting these through their paces? Click HERE.
PARSNIP (£3.95 – £14.00)

Full of nutrients to aid blood sugar levels
The Huxley Hound Parsnip treats are the new one’s being unveiled on the Huxley Hound website!! Parsnips are great for blood sugar levels (often suggested for people with diabetes or cholesterol issues) so if you have a dog with a weight issue, this could be a good addition to their diet. Want to be one of the first to get your paws on this new range? Click HERE from Monday 23rd January.
WANT TO KNOW MORE?
Growing businesses like Huxley Hound deserve the support of the dog community, don’t you think? Mike and Zena do everything themselves! I’ve seen it! Everything created at the factory is manually separated, added to/removed from the dehydration machines, as well as packaged and sent out (Mike was there working until 3am the night before our interview – a common occurrence apparently. They’ve invested everything (financially and personally) in order to bring the best for our dogs. So let’s get behind Huxley Hound!! (Let us know if you like what you’ve heard or if you do try them – I’d love to know what YOU think or even what flavours you’d like to see!)
If you’d like to know more, grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine!) and take a look at our full Facebook LIVE interview with Huxley Hound HERE. It’s a great way to get to know this upcoming brand personally, as well as learning even more about how these organic dog treats could be beneficial to your dogs diet.
Sooooo follow them on social media, tell your friends and try their treats (use code: NY20 for the rest of January for 20% off!) You’ll soon see why I think they deserve to be in the TWILIGHT BARK UK ‘Hot List’ for 2017…

Sarah, Ted & Millie xxx
wow! We love the look of these, and I’ve no doubt the dogs would love them too x
Love From, Steph & The Spaniels
They’re definitely worth a try, Steph (especially with their discount code at the moment!) I was genuinely shocked by all the science behind their treats. Always good to find ways to help our four-legged buddies remain with us for as long as possible! Hope you guys have had a lovely weekend x
These sound like great healthy and nutritious treats. Huxley Hound are obviously an ethical company and am impressed that they know the provenance of all their vegetables. Really interesting blog post.
Thank you very much for commenting Sal. I agree, I was impressed with them before but after meeting them and speaking even more about their brand, I’m totally blown away by Huxley Hound! Definitely ones to watch! Glad you enjoyed reading x
Hello Welly and I enjoyed reading your blog with Huxley Hounds. Welly was a lucky pup and got some Carrot as well as Beetroot Treats. He really enjoyed the Carrot ones, they were his favourite. He tells me I must order some Sweet Potato and Parsnip ones for him to try…… to make a change from Wellybix all the time.
Huxley and Rolo look sooo adorable.
Very best of luck with your Fantastic Doggie Business.
Alison and Welly xx
p.s. Woofs and Licks to Sarah, Ted and Millie too xx
Thank you so much for reading and commenting Alison!! Really appreciated and I’m so glad you enjoyed reading all about Huxley Hound. Ooh yes, definitely give the sweet potato and their new parsnip treats a try!! I’d love to know what Welly thinks about them (and yes, I literally fell in love with Huxley & Rolo – they were sooooo adorable!) Big hugs and love to you and Welly xxx
Some really great info regarding veggies and cellulose and the real benefit of these treats. Thank you for sharing.
Being organic ourselves it is a treat to come across a genuine, authentic product with great health benefits.
Thinking these will be our new staple treats, ordered the mixed pack, so will see which ones are most desirable courtesy of the pooches….
Thank you ever so much for reading and commenting, Caroline. I’m so pleased you found the blog interesting (I certainly learnt a LOT from speaking with the Huxley Hound team, so it’s great to be able to share this with you all). It’s wonderful when businesses with a passion at the heart of what they do (in your cases, being organic) step out to support one another and recognise the work they do. I love it!! It’s great to hear you’ve ordered the mixed pack. Exciting!! Can’t wait to hear what the pooches think of them!! Thank you for all your support xxx
I didn’t manage to watch the live at the time but I caught up with it later in the day..wow! So interesting, really good insight into why these treats are so great. Rosie tried a sample pack before and she really enjoyed them but I didn’t realise how good they really were for her…I’ll definitely be ordering now I know more about the benefits. Great interview guys x
Oh I’m so pleased you watched it, Louise! Thank you so much! I agree, it’s so amazing learning about the individual benefits of each of the treats. Let us know what Rosie thinks of the new range of favours!! Yummy!! Thanks for the support and for commenting, I really appreciate it xxx
