Our dog loves Happy Howl!

Our dog, Daisy, really likes Happy Howl dog food! It can be kept on our pantry shelf until we open one box. Then, after opening, it has to be refrigerated. The individual boxes are enough for a few days of meals for her so are small enough to not take up a huge space in our fridge, which is helpful! We had tried a different brand of food first, but it was larger pieces. Happy Howl is smaller pieces of food, which Daisy likes much better!

I do like that my dog loves the dog food but some of the ingredients are not good especially some of the oils and I don’t like I’m getting more lamb and turkey and only a few boxes of beef. Other than that the price is reasonable. I would probably stick with happy how if they would change some of their ingredients

My little dogs love the food but

My little dogs love the food. What I don’t like is that if you place an order, you are automatically put on a subscription plan with very short notice of when the next shipment will be billed and shipped. I still have more than half of my first order when the next order arrived.

Quality after the first shipment has…

Quality after the first shipment has gone down. The mix of the food went from 50%protein to about 30% the majority being rice and now potato. When I canceled my subscription, there was an error or something and it didn't fully cancel. So they shipped another shipment. When I got in touch with customer service to see if they could cancel and give a refund they said the couldn't even though the product had not shipped yet.

Reply from Happy Howl

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We take feedback about ingredient ratios and quality seriously, all Happy Howl recipes are designed to meet consistent nutritional standards. We wanted to clarify that the rice in our recipe makes up only about 8% of the total ingredients. It’s included in a small amount to support digestion and provide a balanced source of energy.

As for the blended appearance, that’s completely normal — it’s due to the high protein content from real meat and whole-food ingredients. We blend our meals to ensure every bite delivers consistent nutrition and flavor for your pup.

Your dog is still getting all the great nutrients they need, just in a naturally blended, protein-rich form.

Thanks again for caring so much about what goes into your dog’s bowl, we do too!

Regarding the subscription and cancellation issues, we sincerely apologize for the confusion and the inconvenience caused. We send upcoming order emails 2 days prior to your order shipping. If we don't hear from you during that 2 day window to cancel and the order has already been fulfilled and shipped, we can not stop the order.
