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

Mr. SOLO loves!

Mr. Solo loves and eats this food so I love this dog food. Service has always been great!

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Winning over Mr. Solo and providing you with great service is the ultimate compliment for our team! Thank you for trusting Happy Howl with his bowl and for taking the time to share such a sweet note. We look forward to serving you both for a long time to come!

Simba absolutely loves the food

Simba absolutely loves the food. He devours it. It also makes it pretty easy to hide his monthly medication in it and he takes it without any problems.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

We love a good life hack, and using Happy Howl to hide Simba's monthly medication is brilliant! We are so thrilled he devours every bite without suspecting a thing. Give sweet Simba an extra ear scratch from all of us in the pack!

The product is great

The product is great. The service was super. I believe we found the answer to our picky dog eaters.so give Happy Howl a try…see the difference you won’t regret it.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Clean bowls for picky pups and super service—that is what we love to hear! Thank you for spreading the word and sharing such an awesome recommendation for fellow pet parents. We're thrilled to have your dogs in the Happy Howl family!

I scooped about 2–3 tablespoons of topper onto my dog's regular food; they ate only the topper, left their regular food, and walked away. So it's safe to say, both of my babies love it 😆

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Talk about picking favorites! We are so glad our food is hitting the spot for both of your babies—even if it means they ignore the rest. Thank you for the laugh and for being such a wonderful part of the Happy Howl family!

My pup loves the food

My pup loves the food, took to it right away, and actually arrived a day early!

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-22

Hi there! Oh, we love hearing that! 🥰 I’m so glad your pup took to Happy Howl right away — that’s always a win, especially when introducing a new food! And arriving a day early is definitely something we can get behind. 😂🐾 Thank you so much for sharing, and give your pup an extra Happy Howl-approved belly rub from us! Warm Wags, The Happy Howl Team 🐾

Dog gobbles it up

Appreciate the reminder for the upcoming order. My dog happily gobbles up each flavor and cleans his bowl.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Sending upcoming order reminders is just one way we try to make life easier for busy pet parents! We are so glad your dog is enjoying the variety of flavors and devouring every bite. Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us!

Good food for your dog

Good response from customer service.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-25

We definitely got a little ahead of ourselves with that survey! 😅 I took a look and see that your order was delivered on Monday. We do send those surveys a little prematurely sometimes, but you’re absolutely not expected to respond until you’ve received the food and your pup has had a chance to try it! We apologize for the timing and hope your pup is enjoying their first Happy Howl meals. 🐾❤️

Good product

Good product, my dog loves it but it took so long to receive my order. Little on the expensive side for dog food.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

We’re so glad your pup is loving the food, but we hear you loud and clear on transit times and pricing. We pour 100% human-grade quality into every carton without cheap fillers, and we’re actively working to speed up our delivery times so your pup gets their favorite meals much faster. Thank you for giving us a try and sharing your honest thoughts!

My dogs wont eat this

My dogs wont eat this. I put some in their bowls with other foods and they did not eat it. My order and delivery was fine. I will keep trying to see if they will eat it. I do not want a subscription

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-24

Hi there, I completely understand! Sometimes our pups need a little time to warm up to a new food, especially when they’re used to having something different. Since you’re willing to keep trying, I wanted to share a few tricks that may help make Happy Howl a little more appealing. I’ve also paused your subscription until December 1st, so you won’t have another shipment going out while you see how they do. You can decide what you’d like to do from there. In the meantime, here are a few picky-eater tricks to try: 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 And just as a reminder, your subscription currently receives 40% off every recurring order, so if they end up becoming Happy Howl fans, you’ll still have that savings available. 😊 Hopefully one of these tricks does the job and we can win those picky little taste buds over! Warm Wags, Rachel The Happy Howl Team

THEY MADE IT GOOD…

My order was late due to a technical issue. I was credited $10 very quickly. My dog has horrible allergies and I do think this food is helping him along with certain medications.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-24

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. While technical delays are rare, we always want to make things right immediately, so we are glad our team got that credit applied quickly for you. More than anything, we are thrilled to hear that our recipes are supporting your pup's allergy journey alongside his medications. Finding relief for a dog with severe allergies is huge, and we are so honored to be a part of his routine. Thank you for being a valued part of our pack!

Food was almost soupy this time.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-24

We appreciate you sharing this with us! Since our food is cooked right inside the carton to preserve all the natural juices and essential vitamins, batch consistency can occasionally range from firm to a bit more broth-rich. That said, your peace of mind is our top priority! Please reach out to our customer care team at [email protected] with a quick picture of the carton, and we will be more than happy to investigate this batch for you. Thank you for your support!

Excellent food for my little one

My dog absolutely loved the food so it’s a win win. However I did not receive the scoop with my order and have had no results after reaching out to you and sending pictures. I realize it’s a small issue but not something I would make up. With that said I will continue to order the food.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-24

Thank you so much for the feedback, and we are so thrilled to hear that your dog is loving the food! We are so sorry for the frustration regarding your scoop and any delay in our communication—we certainly never thought you were making it up, and your experience matters to us. To make sure you are completely taken care of, we have gone ahead and added a spoon as well as extra storage bags to your next shipment on September 4th, and every order after! Thank you for your patience, your loyalty, and for being a valued part of the pack!

My dogs are very picky eaters we’ve tried everything then we found Happy Howl. They both love it! We signed up for automatic delivery and love it. We never have to worry about running out! So glad we found Happy Howl!!!!!

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Finding a meal that picky dogs genuinely love can be such a journey, so knowing Happy Howl hit the mark for both of your pups means the world to us. We’re delighted that our subscription convenience gives you total peace of mind every month. Thank you for the wonderful review!

Please include the long plastic zip lock bags with order. I received these in previous orders, but not in any recent orders. They are the perfect size for storing opened dog food boxes in the refrigerator, which I often need. Thank you.

Reply from Happy Howl2026-08-23

Thank you for letting us know—we love that those storage bags help keep everything fresh in your fridge! We have updated your account to automatically include extra storage bags and a scooper with all future orders, starting with your next shipment on August 31st. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the Happy Howl pack!
