I said to pause delivery
I said to pause delivery! And recieved a box! Hope I wasn't charged!

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

Out dog did not like the food
Response from Happy HowlJul 16, 2026
We are so sorry your pup wasn't a fan! Pups can definitely be tough critics, and we know how disappointing it is to get a turned-up nose at mealtime. Thank you so much for giving Happy Howl a try anyway!

I can’t review what I didn’t receive. I have notified Happy Howl but have not had a reshipment authorized nor have I been offered a refund…

We are so incredibly sorry for the frustration and for any breakdown in communication that made you feel unheard! We completely understand how stressful it is to be left in the dark when you're waiting on your pup's food. We want to reassure you that your replacement order was officially authorized and processed this past Tuesday, July 14th. It is currently on its way to you! You should have received a shipping confirmation email with tracking details, but please let us know if you need us to resend that information. Thank you so much for your patience while we make this right!

I have two major issues with this company. The first issue being that they do not honor when one tries to cancel a membership. I canceled my membership and they claimed they didn’t receive it and charged me for another month. When I called they would not refund my money. The second issue is that they do not back their products. Most companies would offer a refund if their product was found to be subpar. Not this fly by night operation. I found mold in some of the boxes of food and that is the reason for the cancellation. Why would I make this up? They said what I thought was mold was “fat.” It was MOLD. Now I sit with many boxes of food that can’t be used. I am so disappointed with this company, its products and their lack of accountability.

We take any feedback regarding the safety and quality of our food with the utmost seriousness, and we would love the opportunity to investigate this for you. When you first reached out, we asked for photos of the food on June 9th so our quality assurance team could inspect it. Because healthy fats in our fresh recipes can sometimes settle and look like white spots, we wanted to verify exactly what you were seeing. If there is indeed mold on any of your food, we will absolutely replace those cartons for you. Please send those photos directly to our team at [email protected] so we can make this right. Regarding your subscription, we always aim for complete transparency. Our records show that the cancellation request was not completed on the account before the final order processed, which is why the shipment went through. However, our priority is ensuring your peace of mind regarding the food itself, and we sincerely hope to receive those photos so we can assist you further.

So I cancelled my subscription with this company right after my initial purchase. Didn't want any more as I make my own dog food at home now. Like out of nowhere they charged me and sent another box that I did not order. Impossible to get a refund from them or return the box, they won't accept returns. Had to call my bank to get a refund. Company has nobody to call and talk to. Millions of bad reports on better business bureau about this happening to a lot of people. They have no reachable address or company info online besides a house in Pennsylvania and an empty office in Pa in an industrial looking park. It's easy to just keep ripping people off and sending unwanted orders for a quick buck but the owners clearly just want your money and don't care about having a good reputation. Don't buy here.

We are so sorry for the frustration surrounding this shipment. We always strive to be as transparent as possible with our subscription process. To prevent unwanted shipments, we send a reminder email 2 days before any order processes so our customers have time to make changes. In this instance, the order processed first, and the subscription was canceled 2 days later. Once an order has shipped, we are unable to accept returns or issue refunds. Because our recipes are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, we cannot safely restock or reuse returned food. We apologize for any breakdown in communication and truly wish you and your dogs the very best.

My dog didn’t like the food. I asked to cancel the order, but they didn’t and still shipped it. I asked for a return label, so I can return the food once it was delivered, still NO, “ No return, no refund.” So, my $85 will just go to waste or maybe donate to the shelter!
Response from Happy HowlJul 13, 2026
We're so sorry our food wasn't a hit with your pup! To clarify, we send an upcoming order email two days before shipping to allow for any changes. Once that window passes, the order enters fulfillment and cannot be stopped or refunded. We also don't accept returns to ensure our strict safety and freshness standards are never compromised. That being said, we think your idea to donate the shipment to a local shelter is absolutely wonderful! Rescue pups will be incredibly grateful for such a high-quality treat, and we truly appreciate your kindness!

I have NOT received my food! Of this is how long it takes I am not going to be ordering in the future.
Response from Happy HowlJul 12, 2026
I completely understand your frustration, and I am so incredibly sorry for the delay in getting your food to you! We never want you to feel left in the dark about your pup's meals. To give you a little insight into the timeline, your order came through to us after our shipping facilities had already closed for the weekend on Friday. Because we do not operate over the weekend, our team jumped right on it first thing the following Monday morning to get it packed and shipped out. Our records show that the package officially delivered on Friday, June 10th. We truly appreciate your patience with this unfortunate timing, and we are confident that future orders will be much speedier for you!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While our recipes are uniquely packaged to stay safe and shelf-stable in high temperatures up to 119°F, we completely understand your concern after your delivery spent time out in that 100-degree weather. We want to make this completely right for you, and our care team previously reached out on July 3rd to request a few snapshots so we could check on the batch. If you have a moment, could you please locate that specific email thread and reply to it with your photos? We'll be standing by to get this resolved!
