About this business
Where it started:Rocky changedeverything andI never set out to start a dog food company.My husky Rocky had the worst stomach on the planet. Years of vet visits, prescription diets, and hundreds spent on premium food brands. We tried everything. Nothing worked.So I decided to build it myself. 36 recipe iterations. Countless hours with vets and nutritionists. All chasing one question: what’s the best food we could possibly make for a dog? When we finally got it right, Rocky was the proof.He hasn't been sick in over 18 months. He runs three miles with me every morning. That's the standard every Happy Howl bowl is held to. Nothing less.Colin Buckley– Founder

My dogs love Happy Howl
My dogs love Happy Howl! I feed raw and use Happy Howl when I am in a rush or sometimes as a reward meal. They are always eager to eat and never refused it.

My dogs would not eat this
My dogs would not eat this. Thanks for trying but I will not be purchasing any more.

Good news: picky eating is super common, and most pups just need a little convincing. Here are a few tricks that usually get even the pickiest pups on board. Feeding Tips to Try: -Start small & mix in: Try mixing a small amount of the food with something your pup already enjoys (like their previous food) and gradually increase the amount over a few days -Warm it up: Slightly warming the food can enhance the aroma and make it more enticing in a microwave safe bowl for 10 seconds (NOT in the packaging) -Add a topper: A splash of warm water, low-sodium bone broth, or even a little plain boiled chicken can help spark interest -Stick to a schedule: Offer the food for about 15–20 minutes, then pick it up if your pup doesn't eat. This can help reinforce mealtime routines Hand feeding (short-term): Sometimes offering a few bites by hand can help reintroduce the food in a positive way Sticking to this schedule matters more than it might seem — a slow transition gives your pup's stomach time to adjust, which helps avoid any upset tummy along the way and sets them up for better digestion, more energy, and all the tail wags that come with it. Schedule: Days 1-3: 25% Happy Howl, 75% Current Food Days 4-6: 50% Happy Howl, 50% Current Food Days 7-10: 75% Happy Howl, 25% Current Food Day 11+: 100% Happy Howl Giving your dog time to transition to Happy Howl means you’re giving their body the chance to adjust gently, leading to better digestion, improved energy, and long-term health benefits.

Well, so far so good.
Well, the jury is still out, but it’s looking good. We just got his first full order, we’ll see how it goes.

Finally
Finally! I have tried soooo many different (good quality) dog foods and after a couple of weeks, Marley would turn up her nose and refuse to ever eat it again! This is the first time in 7 years that she has continuously eaten your food for months now! Thank you thank you thank you

Finally! 🎉 We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that Marley has continued enjoying Happy Howl for months, especially after so many other high-quality foods didn’t hold her interest. Knowing we’ve helped make mealtime something she looks forward to means the world to us! 🐾🤍 Thank you for trusting us with Marley’s meals and for sharing such wonderful feedback. Cheers, The Happy Howl Team
Dogs love it, my back does not.
Dogs love the food and it’s easier to use than our previous fresh option but only 4 stars because it ships on a 50lb box that I can’t move. 15 trips later it’s all put away.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! 💛 We're so happy to hear your dogs are enjoying Happy Howl and that it's been an easier option than your previous fresh food. I also completely understand your feedback about the weight of the shipment. I took a look at your account, and I can see we've already split your order into multiple boxes to help make it a little easier to handle. If you'd prefer even smaller shipments, we'd be more than happy to help adjust your subscription so food arrives more frequently in lighter boxes. We're always happy to work with you to find a delivery schedule that's easier and more convenient for you. Just let us know if you'd like us to make that change—we're always here to help! 🐾 Warm Wags, Rachel The Happy Howl Team
My variety order is not really that…
My variety order is not really that varied: 80% beef, 15% chicken, 5% lamb I have already called and explained this to your associate after the previous delivery and was told to let you know if it happened again: It has!
Package is difficult to get out food

Best dog food I’ve ever bought
Best dog food I’ve ever bought. I have two little Chihuahuas that are so finicky and always have been. They’re older now they love Happy Howl took a lot of stress away trying to figure out what to feed them. It’s actually human food cooked the way that our fur babies need it. You can’t go wrong. Give it a try.
Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-04
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💛 It makes us so happy to hear that your two little Chihuahuas are loving Happy Howl! We know how challenging it can be to find something picky pups will consistently enjoy, especially as they get older, so hearing that we've taken some of that stress off your shoulders truly means the world to us. Thank you for trusting us with your pups' nutrition and for recommending Happy Howl to others. Please give your adorable little duo some extra love from all of us! 🐾
The quality of the food is great
The quality of the food is great. My dog really loves Happy Howl. I have 4 pups. All on different products and I will definitely be converting all my dogs before year end

It means so much to hear that your dog is loving Happy Howl, and we're honored that you're planning to transition the rest of your crew by the end of the year. Thank you for trusting us with your pups' nutrition. We can't wait to welcome the whole pack to the Happy Howl family! Please give all four of them some extra pets from us. 🐶
I wish to cancel my subscription
I wish to cancel my subscription. I have reiterated this to you several times already. I do not do business with companies that do not have a phone number and will not speak to me..
Received in tact
Received in tact, no damage and my Piper LOves the Food, and he can be picky!

Thank you so much for sharing! We’re thrilled to hear your order arrived safely and that Piper is loving the food, especially with a picky pup! 🐾🐶 Cheers, The Happy Howl Team
Food is easy to store and use
Food is easy to store and use. One complaint is dogs have difficulty eating food as it sticks to their bowl.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! 🐾 We’re glad to hear that Happy Howl is easy to store and use. We’re sorry to hear that the food is sticking to your dogs’ bowls and making mealtime more difficult.

Perfect solution for our family!
The recipe ingredients are almost exactly what my vet suggested when I had to switch to cooking for my dogs because of health issues. The difference is minimal. I've been feeding my dogs blueberries and carrots (the difference in ingredients between Happy Howl and the food I make), but just not every day like with Happy Howl. That was my choice because it was easier for me, not because of my vet's recommendation. Anyway, I know my dogs will do well physically on your food... and they LOVE it! Happy Howl actually smells more appetizing than the food I make for them. Your product has freed us from work and worry, and will allow us to have more fun in the future. We know the food is just right for them, the dogs love it, I don't have to cook (Big WIN!), and it will make traveling with the dogs easier. Their diet restrictions were the main reason we have not traveled as much with the dogs as we used to. Happy Howl is the perfect solution for our family! Thank you!

Great product
Our dogs are 7, 10 and 10, and we have seen such a change in their energy! They also eat better and beg for it!
