HYPO5 Explained: A Purposeful Approach to Chicken-Free Dog Nutrition
Understanding the Ingredients Behind Addiction's HYPO5 Recipes
Choosing the right dog food starts with understanding what goes into your dog's bowl.
While many dogs thrive on traditional protein sources, more pet parents are exploring alternative nutrition options and seeking recipes made with thoughtfully selected ingredients. Rather than focusing on what isn't included, it's about choosing ingredients that each serve a purpose.
At Addiction, we believe every ingredient should earn its place in the bowl. From premium proteins to carefully selected supporting ingredients, every component in our recipes is chosen to contribute to complete and balanced nutrition.
That's the philosophy behind HYPO5—our purposeful approach to chicken-free dog nutrition, combining premium proteins with five carefully selected ingredients designed to support your dog's everyday wellbeing.
What Is HYPO5?
HYPO5 represents Addiction's commitment to purposeful nutrition. Every HYPO5 recipe is built around five key ingredient groups that work together to create complete and balanced meals without chicken.
These five essential components include:
-
Premium Protein
-
Coconut Oil
-
Superfoods (Fruits & Vegetables)
-
Prebiotic Fibres (Peas & Flaxseed)
-
Chelated Minerals
Rather than relying on chicken as the primary protein source, HYPO5 recipes feature premium alternative proteins paired with wholesome ingredients that provide dogs with balanced daily nutrition.
The Five Ingredients Behind HYPO5
1. Premium Protein
Protein forms the foundation of every HYPO5 recipe.
Instead of using chicken, Addiction carefully selects premium protein sources that provide variety while delivering complete and balanced nutrition.
HYPO5 recipes feature distinctive proteins including:
-
Wild Kangaroo
-
New Zealand Venison
-
New Zealand King Salmon
Each protein offers a unique flavour profile, giving pet parents more premium choices when selecting a chicken-free recipe for their dog.
2. Coconut Oil
Healthy fats play an important role in balanced nutrition.
HYPO5 recipes include coconut oil as a carefully selected ingredient that complements the overall nutritional profile, helping create complete recipes designed for everyday feeding.
3. Superfoods: Fruits & Vegetables
Great nutrition extends beyond protein alone.
HYPO5 recipes incorporate a blend of fruits and vegetables that provide naturally occurring nutrients and antioxidants as part of a complete and balanced diet.
Inspired by nature, these wholesome ingredients help create recipes that nourish dogs with a wider variety of beneficial nutrients.
4. Prebiotic Fibres: Peas & Flaxseed
Good nutrition starts in the digestive system.
HYPO5 recipes include prebiotic fibre sources such as peas and flaxseed, helping support digestive health while contributing to overall nutritional balance.
These carefully chosen ingredients are part of Addiction's holistic approach to everyday wellbeing.
5. Chelated Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that contribute to everyday health.
HYPO5 recipes contain chelated minerals—a form of minerals bound to organic molecules—which help support nutrient utilisation as part of a complete and balanced diet.
It's another example of how purposeful ingredient selection can make every meal count.
Why Choose Chicken-Free Dog Food?
Chicken remains one of the most commonly used proteins in pet food, but it isn't the only option.
Many pet parents simply prefer to explore different protein sources or introduce greater variety into their dog's diet.
Choosing chicken-free nutrition isn't just about removing an ingredient—it's about thoughtfully selecting what replaces it.
With HYPO5, Addiction focuses on premium proteins and purposeful ingredients to create nutritious, chicken-free meals that never compromise on quality.

Finding the Right Protein for Your Dog
Every dog is unique, and the best recipe depends on their individual preferences, lifestyle, and nutritional needs.
Some dogs may enjoy the distinctive flavour of kangaroo. Others may prefer the richness of venison or the taste of premium King Salmon.
Whatever their preference, the goal remains the same: choosing a complete and balanced recipe made with thoughtfully selected ingredients.
At Addiction, we believe better nutrition starts with better choices.
From Wild Kangaroo & Apples to Viva La Venison and Salmon Bleu, every HYPO5 recipe is crafted with premium proteins and purposeful ingredients designed to nourish dogs every day.
Because every ingredient should have a reason for being there—and every dog deserves nutrition made with purpose.
