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

Portions sizes too small. I could've bought 3 times the amount of dog food in your sampler for what I paid for it. I have 3 Basset Hounds, and they scarfed the food right up. But there are brands of Premium Dog Food at Walmart that are 1/3 of the price.

We’re glad to hear your three Basset Hounds loved the sampler! The sampler is designed to give new customers a chance to try Happy Howl before committing to a larger order, rather than for long-term feeding multiple dogs. For families with multiple pups or larger needs, we also offer larger case sizes to make it easier and more cost-effective to keep everyone fed with the meals they love.

Both my dogs have loved the two recipes I've tried (beef & turkey) the lamb is up next. But based on the fact they didnt hesitate to chow down, especially my terrier who historically is very cautious with new fooods/treats, I imagine the lamb will also be a winner. They both are currently on purina pro plan sensitive stomach, its not necessary for my terrier, but my toy poodle has an EXTREMELY sensitive stomach. I've given them both just a spoonful on top of their current food but his stomach didnt get upset at all. Which is sort of miraculous honestly. Poops look great (which is usually the indicator he's eaten something different). I love that the grain is rice. THANK YOU. Its so hard to find whole foods with rice. All the other grain fillers have upset his stomach (ie lentils, beans (?? Why??), ancient grains etc). And my terrier despises oats. Which is the other common grain. I was kinda planning on doing this as a topper for my two but tbh I might see if I can't do a half and half or a full switch. The spoon and storage baggie included is a nice addition. I like how easy it is to open the boxes too. The only thing that gives me pause is the shipping (which took about a week or so, but I did only get a sample pack so, a full order may be quicker?) but I might just try to keep my stock up so I wouldn't ever run low and as its pantry stable (until opened) I think it'll be doable. Would recommend! Also, just as an aside, the quality of the meat seems really good. It smells like a home cooked turkey dinner/beef dinner etc. The beef is like, shredded too, it just seems to me like they went above and beyond to make it literally human quality.

We’re thrilled to hear that both your dogs are enjoying the Beef and Turkey recipes and that your toy poodle’s sensitive stomach handled it so well, that’s always a big relief for pup parents! It’s great that the grain choice of rice is working so perfectly, especially since other grains have caused issues in the past. We appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait for your dogs to try the Lamb next, we hope it’s another winner!

My Cooper will be 9 years old next month. He still looks and acts like he’s 3 years old! I have been feeding him kibble and he gets my healthy food a few times a week. I have been trying a few different dog kibble and fresh foods over the last couple of months and Happy Howl is definitely the best choice. Thank you Happy Howl!!
Reply from Happy HowlMar 10, 2026
Cooper sounds like an amazing pup, almost 9 and still acting like he’s 3 is the best compliment to his lifestyle! We’re thrilled to hear Happy Howl stood out after trying different options, and we’re so happy Cooper is enjoying his meals. Here’s to many more happy, healthy years together!
