I thought I had canceled my subscription the last time I missed the window of opportunity to take a break...my home is overrun with boxes of food that my dog may or may not eat (she's picky) so, I failed to pay attention to an email received 2 days ago telling me my order is ready to be shipped (if I was a totally honest person, and I am, I would tell you my dad has been in hospital and rehab and is struggling to adapt to a new housing situation - all the while with a catheter trial that is not working) so very frustrating... So, I have to pay for another shipment I don't want with money I don't want to spend...I canceled my subscription correctly this time...good riddance... A not happy puppy mama

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m really sorry to hear about everything you’ve been dealing with. That sounds like a very stressful situation, and we completely understand how this order added to that frustration. Our system does send a reminder before orders process so customers have time to make changes, but we understand that things can be missed—especially during difficult circumstances. Please contact our support team [email protected] so we can make sure your orders are cancelled.

I was looking to order for my dogs
Update: Thank you for responding so fast, but it seems you didn't read all of what I wrote. As I filling out all info to order, your company said my dogs were overweight and told me the amount they thought my dogs needed to lose weight. Your "feeding guideline" would have made them underweight. I was looking to order for my dogs, but will not now. I have 2 Chihuahua mixes. They ate perfect weight according to our veterinarian. They are 8 & 11lbs. Happy Howl has determined all on its own that they are overweight and will not tell me how much to feed them, and what are those measurements? What happened to 1/4, 1/2? Also all chihuahuas are not 4-7lbs. Deerhead chihuahuas weight up to 10lbs & Applehead chihuahuas weigh up to 7lbs. Mine are mixes. One is a chiweenie. She is long and tall. You offer no contact information on your site for me to call or email for me to ask questions (that's another issue).

Thank you for your feedback, we understand your concerns and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Feeding guidelines can be found on the sides of each carton, which outline recommended daily portions based on your dog’s profile. If you ever need help interpreting those guidelines or tailoring them more specifically to your dogs, our support team is always happy to assist. You can reach us directly at [email protected], and our phone number and additional contact information are also listed on our website.

The lamb based meal.
The lamb based meal was soaked in too much juice or grease. My dog sampled the first bite and refused to even try to finish her size portion per box recommendation. She later had loose fecal deposit during her evening walk. I don't think the texture or sauce of that meal agreed with her digestion tract.
Response from Happy HowlApr 21, 2026
Thank you for sharing this, we’re really sorry to hear your dog didn’t have a good experience with the lamb recipe from Happy Howl. We understand how concerning it is to see loose stool, especially when trying a new food. Sometimes a richer recipe or a change in texture can take a bit of adjustment, but it sounds like this one may not have agreed with her.

Peas/legumes tied to DCM on dogs
I can’t recommend this food due to the connection between legumes and cardiac issues in dogs. I tried it out knowing there were peas in the recipe but there were so many that I felt too guilty feeding it to my dog. What if he were to get DCM and it could be traced to a choice I’m making? I can’t do it. If the recipe changes to not include legumes I would be open to trying again
Response from Happy HowlApr 20, 2026
Thank you for sharing your perspective, we completely understand where you’re coming from. Concerns around diet and conditions like Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) are something many pet parents take very seriously, and it’s clear you’re making decisions with your dog’s long-term health in mind. We want to assure you that at Happy Howl, our recipes are carefully formulated to be complete and balanced, using ingredients in levels that meet established nutritional guidelines. Legumes like peas are included as part of a broader formulation, not as a primary protein replacement, and we continuously monitor evolving research in this area. That said, we truly respect your decision to choose what you feel most comfortable feeding your dog.

After trying happy howl with a slow introduction to our greyhounds’ diet and a transfer from The Farmer’s Dog fresh food, both of our greyhounds kept eating grass and had loose stool with mucus, as if something in the food was too rich or inflammatory. We wanted to like this food better for them for several reasons. It’s travel friendly and doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it last for iver two years, and it’s less expensive. Unfortunately, we will have to return to the simpler ingredient list of the farmer’s dog food.
Response from Happy HowlApr 20, 2026
While we’re disappointed it didn’t work out for your greyhounds, we absolutely support you choosing what keeps them feeling their best. We’re glad you found a diet that works well for them, and we wish you and your pups all the best moving forward.

The food is great but the delivery and shipping is not. Takes forever to get th food shipment and I have had to buy a supplement food while waiting for the food.
Response from Happy HowlApr 13, 2026
Thank you for the honest feedback! It sounds like you will need to update your subscription shipping frequency so that you are receiving the food sooner. If you need help doing so you can contact our support team [email protected].

Food did not show up when it says it’s being delivered today.
Response from Happy HowlApr 13, 2026
I’m sorry that happened, that’s frustrating, especially when you’re planning around a delivery window. Your tracking details are sent directly to your email and just so you are aware the subscription next order date is when the food will be shipping, not when it will be delivered.

Not impressed our dogs ended up sick so I'm not sure I'd recommend. While I like the idea behind it, it just wasn't for us.
Response from Happy HowlApr 13, 2026
I’m really sorry to hear your dogs got sick, that’s definitely not the experience we want for anyone, and I understand why you wouldn’t recommend it after that. Even when a food is high quality, some dogs can react poorly to: •a too-quick transition from their previous diet •richness or ingredient sensitivity •mixing with certain kibbles or toppers •or simply individual digestive differences That said, I want to be clear: if your dogs are still having any ongoing symptoms, it’s best to stick with what’s easiest on their stomachs for now and check in with your vet if needed.
